Donations Make
Possible Needed
Campus Changes

Pearsons Lobby Remodeled ;

Gateways, Sidewalks

Constructed

Addition of donations by the class of
1917, 1928, and 1929, together with a
large sum given by Mrs. John Walker
to the usual funds of the college, have
made possible a number of improve-
ments on the campus and the buildings
during the summer.

The replacement of the old partitions
in the lobby of Pearsons Hall by new
steel girders makes it now possible
for men and women to enter the
dining hall together. New floors, steps,
and a completely refinished parlor
were also added to the changes of
Pearsons during the summer. Money
for the work, amounting to about $1500,
was donated by Mrs. Walker.

Old coal burning stpves in the
kitchen have now been replaced by
new gas ranges; and the basement of
Pearsons has been completely concreted
and will be used as a store room for
the dining hall. A new door from the
dining hall to the porch by the kitchen
has been cut and is to be used by some
of the boys in order to avoid congestion
of the front entrances.

Another feature to be added to the
college is the gateways now under con-
struction at the two automobile en-
trances. There are to be four posts
composed of white limestone and
brick at each entrance and the gates
are to be of iron scroll work. One of
the gates was contributed by the Class
of 1917 and the other by the Class of
1928 Among the members of the Class
of 1917 was Miss Anna Jones, registrar
of the college until her death about
three years ago. The cost of the two
gateways is to be about twelve hundred
dollars.
In addition to the sidewalk from

REMINISCENCE

By ROBERT BRANDRIFF

(Echo Staff Writer)

The Echo reporter who recently had
occasion to visit Miss Mary Ellen
Caldwell, much better known to stu-
dents and faculty as Miss Molly, found
her— as the journalism of a half century
ago would have phrased it— a prey
to mingled emotions. She finds the
chance for leisure and relaxation quite
pleasing, and has already planned to
fulfill several long-felt desires. For
one thing, opportunity is now afforded

last being the boy's dormitory. She
has witnessed, then, the greatest part
of Maryville's development, having
served during the regimes of four
presidents of the college.

Even the cedars, now the crowning
glory of the campus, "were no taller
than that," she told the reporter,
pointing to the top of a clock on the
mantle, which he estimated to be about
six feet off the floor.

Miss Mollie proved rather reticent
about any of the exploits of her charges

As was announced last spring, a new
department of instruction has been in-
corporated in the college curriculum
beginning this year. Known as the De-
partment of Fine Arts, it embraces the
old departments of special instruction,
with inclusion of greatly expanded
fields of concentration.

The new department is to be headed
by Miss Katharine C. Davis, who will
also teach piano. Besides being a
teacher of wide experience, Miss Davis
is an accomplished pianist, having
studied in a number of foremost in-
stitutions, both here and abroad.

Miss Dorothy Home, likewise a new-
comer to Maryville college, will teach
viola, piano, and violin. Miss Home is
also a musician of merit and holds
degrees in both violin and piano.

Voice will be taught by Ralph Col-
bert, who will conduct the band,
orchestra, Vesper choir, and glee clubs.

The new department is a regular
part of the liberal arts college, the only
difference being the fact that non-
credit work will be offered, and that
people from the town may enroll. As
in other departments of instruction,
majors are offered, and students may
concentrate in dramatic art or music.

For the present, however, no college
credits will be given for art. Music
will consist of both the theoretical and
applied, as announced previously in the
catalog.

In addition to the new members of
the faculty already mentioned, the
staff of the new department will include
Mrs. West as associate professor and
Miss Holland, instructor, of dramatic
art, and Miss Bird, instructor in art.

Notices

Those students living off the
campus may have their copies of
the Echo by calling at the college
post office.

All students who have filed ap-
plications for work and have not
received assignments should call
at the Student-Help Office during
the next few days. Unless a stu-
dent does report back to the
office, it is assumed that he does
not want the work.

Director of Student-Help

All changes in schedule will
be made on Tuesday, September
15.

All students who are interested
in membership in the college
band should report to the Chapel

Operation in Famous

Ford Hospital

It came as a great surprise to most
of the returning students to learn that
the popular young Director of Per-
sonnel would not be here for the
opening of school. He is now under
observation and treatment at the
famous Henry Ford hospital in De-
troit, where Mrs. Cummings' cousin is
chief surgeon.

Dr. Cummings' illness, the nature of
which is not yet precisely known, be-
gan to trouble him last January, and
during the summer necessitated X-
rays and treatment in Knoxville and a
nonth's stay at a sanitarium in Penn-
sylvania.

Experiencing no evident improve-
ment, he left on September 7 for
Detroit, from where Mrs. Cummings has
wired that an operation may be nec-
essary. Dr. Lloyd, however, has not
received report of one.

In one year, Dr. Cummings has be-
come one of the most popular figures
on the campus. The students find in
him a sympathetic champion of their
interests.

With Tea, Parties

Since September 1, the Personnel
office has been obliged to reject ap-
plications ot prospective freshmen for
admission to Maryville college. At
the present time it is estimated that
the limit of 300 necessarily placed on
membership in the freshman class has
exceeded by fifteen or twenty. The
dormitories are full, and many late
arrivals have been obliged to secure
rooms in the town.

The system instituted by Dr. Cum-
mings last spring promises to facilitate
the handling of student registration by
cutting down the time required to
register and eliminating much un-
necessary keeping of records.

make a study of various aspects of iack 0f material. She did reward the

student life at these institutions.

On the other hand. Miss Mollie does
not hesitate to admit that she misses
the college and the people, and places
and events that go to make up college
life. And why not? When one remem-
bers that for nearly a quarter of a
century she has born the responsibili-
ties of dean of women, and has been
connected, in one way or another, with
Maryville college for fifty-five years,
one understands this feeling. Indeed,
it would be impossible for anyone to
be so much a part of the college life
and tradition, and not notice a very
definite want on leaving.

When Miss Molly first came to Mary-
ville, she was a student in the fourth
grade in the grammar school that was
then a part of the college, all of which
was contained in three buildings, An-
derson. Baldwin, and Memorial, the

writer with a good one about a boys'
feud which culminated in the dining
hall. It being the days when every boy
wore a hat, or at least a cap, the mem-
bers of one of the rival factions filled
their enemies' head gear with "old
lady," whose adhesive qualities more
than made up for what it lacked in
flavor. Saturday night baths took place
on Wednesday that week.

But what one notices most in Miss
Caldwell's conversation is her deep and
genuine interest in the welfare of
Maryville college, and her sympathetic
understanding of its problems and
ideals.

Her last remark to the Echo's re-
porter was, "I wish you all the success
in the world:" but one glance at the
far awav look in her eves told him

Tryouts for the Vesper Choir and the
men's and women's glee clubs will be
given by Mr. Colbert during the week
of September 14. Any person desiring
membership in either of these organi-
zations should report to him in his
studio in the basement of the Chapel.

Due to ntv.' appointments, marriage,
retirement, and further study, ten
members of last year's faculty will not
be back this year.

Dr. Paul E, Fields, head of the de-
partment of psychology, and Dr. Ben-
jamin C. Bradshaw, associate professor
of chamistry, have left Maryville for
new positions. Dr. Fields has accepted
the position of professor of psychology
at his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan; and
Dr. Bradshaw is at the University of
Kentucky this year.

Miss Zoe Wells Carroll associate Sodet Welcomes Freshmen

professor of biology, Miss Helen Re-
becca Gamble, associate professor of
psychology, and Miss Josephine R.
Hunter, head of Memorial hall have
left the college because of marriage.
Miss Carroll was married to Dr.
Howard Black in the spring and is now
in Nevada where Dr. Black is stationed
by the government. Miss Gamble was
married to Mr. Herbert Dunning on
August seventeenth and is now living
in Chicago. Miss Hunter was married
on August fifteenth to Mr Frank W.
Potter, Jr., and is now living in Read-
ing, Pennsylvania.

Miss Mary Ellen Caldwell, dean of
women has retired and is now living
in her home on Miller Street in Mary-
ville.

Two other former faculty members
now in Maryville are Miss Laura Hale,
formerly head of the department of
music, who has opened her own studio
here; and Mrs. Mary S. Snelson, in-
structor of piano, who is at her home.

Miss Eva Mildred Butcher, who is
at her home in Knoxville at present, is
planning to study music further this
winter. Miss Merle Beebe, formerly
secretary to the president, is now
working for a firm in Chicago.

Bainonian Literary society's annual
rush week will begin Tuesday after-

travel tea. The tea will be presented
at three different times, at different
places, and to different groups. The
first of these will be at the Chapel,
the second at Science hall, and the and the, Statc DsPartment of Instruc-

Ten new members of Maryville's
faculty have entered upon their peda-
gogical commissions during the last
two weeks. Changes in faculty per-
sonnel were made necessary by the
resignations of several of last year's
professors and the reorganization of
some departments of the college curri-
culum.

In .addition to the acquisition of new
members of the instructional staff, the
administration and directors have made
the following changes in titles and
duties. Dr. Hill Shine, for the past
four yean associate professor of Eng-
lis, has been advanced to the rank of
professor. Mr. E. E. McCurry has been
named supervisor of men's residences.
Professor J. H. Kiger will teach history,
which was his graduate major, instead
of BibL. . , - .■- n

The President's office has released
the following statement concerning the
new members of the faculty:

CREDO

WE are an organization to which
are entrusted Maryville'st raditions,
her present, and her future. We
are recording her history, and
shaping her destiny.

WE BELIEVE that a student
publication is designed primarily
for student interpretation; that
its purpose is to be a spokesman
of the college it represents, to give
accurate information, and to re-
flect good sportsmanship; and that
in fulfilling this purpose it has
completed one phase of educational
activities which is necessary to the
whole.

WE BELIEVE that there is con-
structive, creative criticism at a
point midway between unsympa-
thetic ridicule and unbounded
idealism, where lies the medium of
journalistic comment; that this
medium should be employed for
all reporting; and that any person
or organization experiencing either
criticism or praise should receive
it in the same spirit as it is given.

WE BELIEVE that any publica-
tion is an important historical do-
cument which, when viewed by
anyone not contemporary, should
reveal truthfully and accurately
the most important and estimable
conditions and activities of its time.

WE BELIEVE that Maryville is
the best «.oliege we know; and that
our powers should be directed
toward retaining and strengthening
her reputation.

Tribute is due an old member of
the Echo staff who has found it
impossible to return to Maryville
this year. Edward H. Thorn served
faithfully and capably as freshman
apprentice, sophomore cub, and
junior feature writer during his
three years here. His ready wit,
unusually effective mariiprulation
of the English language, and co-
operative spirit will be much need-
ed and missed by the Echo staff
this year.

According to Biblical estimates,
thirty-seven years is more than
half of the normal span of life.
When one has devoted half a life-
time to service in one cause, one
might well feel that the very cord
of life is twisted about in it. Miss
Mary Ellen Caldwell, for many
years Dean of Women at Maryville
college, should and must be made
to feel that her activities need not
end. May she find a richness in
in life which she has never known
before.

NOTICE

There are at present two junior
and two sophomore vacancies on
the staff of the Highland Echo
which must be filled within the
next two weeks. Will any stu-
dents interested in trying out for
these positions please communi-
cate with the editor or leave a
notice in the Echo office, at the
north side of Thaw hall, before
Thursday, September 17.

Vacancies exist in the business
staff also, which are to be filled
by applicants from the senior,
junior, sophomore, and freshman
classes. Written application sta-
ting qualifications and business
experience must be handed in
by Friday, September 18, to the
business manager at the Echo
office, who will forward them to
the Committee on Student Publi-
cations for consideration.

Party's a Specialty

To climax all the lesser welcomes of
the week, those of the administration,
the Y's, the Societies, the class presi-
dents and all the rest, we, Yorick,
welcome you to Dear Old Maryville.
By way of introducing ourselves we are
successor to the late Hon. Senator
Hegner, columnist extraordinary, who
seemed to be continually criticized for
saying too much or saying too little,
depending on his reader's politics . . .
We, too, expect your frank criticism,
and will answer gladly in this column
all letters telling us how good we are.

And here we sit, thoughtfully chew-
ing the end of our typewriter, ponder-
ing on the ways of a woman editor
who, no doubt affected by the excessive
heat of the past summer, suddenly de-
cides to put out a six column paper

with a live column staff . Ah me . . .

» • *

In imitation of the Knoxville Morn-
ing Disappointment we decided to in-
terview several prominent upperclass- j
men on the timely topic: "What do
think of the new freshmen?" ... To
our query Ed (Slug) Lavender, re-
plied, "Not so good," and continued in
the direction of Memorial Hall . . .
Miss Louise Orr's reply, "I think the
girls are awfully sweet," resembled by
contrast the reply of Dottie Mae Lewis
who, after a brief conference with
Calista Palmer, recited in unision with
the latter, "We think the boys are
peachy" . . Marvin Minear's reply,
"Much might be said on both sides,"
ended our interviews . . Our own
idea is that as far as beauty goes,
some of these new girls are really all
right . . . We found several times in
the Mixer last Thursday night that
we wished that they assigned "little
sisters" to upperclass men as- well . . .
As for the boys, we tried to be uppity
to a new one last Wednesday and were
informed that he was a junior from
the University of Wisconsin . . .
They're a tall bunch, these fellows,

anyhow . . .

partiality to Athenian at the Mixer the
other night, we have vengefully com-
posed the following pome: . . .

who have never tried to sleep on one
of the comfortable reclining chairs of

a Greyhound will miss the point . . .

We haven't met any of the new

know of them, we like . . . We hope
you'll like us, too . . . While we're
mentioning the faculty we can't help
but mention how discouraged we felt
Thursday morning after Dr. Orr had
spent the first period of our Ethics
class telling us how our grades would
be determined entirely according to
the relative stupidity of the other

members of the class.

* * *

We're not sure, but we think it was
Etta Culbertson who started asking
"What's your room number?" of the
boys she met at the Mixer instead of
the usual, "Where do you live?" . . .
And it was our Y's president, Dick
:>chlaefer who suggested that the boys'
circle stand still and let the girls do the

walking . . .

• • *

The campus improvements especially
noteworthy are the remodeling of

Pearsons lobby and the painting of
Carnegie'? interior It's too bad

that only half of us, the old students,
can appreciate some of the changes . . .
A fatherly word to some of the fresh-
men we've heard mumbling is, "You
should have been here when . ."
Knock knock is just bad taste at
Maryville, though There are

changes from your former way of liv-
ing that you'll have to like, and if
you can't do that, do something rather
than talk And while we're being

nasty and philosophical we are re-
minded of a line we read in Chris-
topher Morley's" Human Being" that
has us still thinking . . . "Happiness
is the delicate balance between for-
getting oneself and remembering one-
self" . . .

* * *

It tickled us the other day to see the
card the president of the Junior class
received inviting 'Miss" Winford Ross
to the reunion of the Girl's Council of
Austin college . . . Which reminds us
that the last time we saw him Wednes-
day night he was perched on a cam-
pus bench lowing though a paper cup

like a homesick Texas steer . . .

* * *

Yorick's sincere hope for the speedy
recovery of Dr. Cummings joins all
the rest . His vigorous, youthful,

understanding personality won him
immediately to all of us when he came
to Maryville last year, and we know
that new students as well as old will
welcome his return.

Our fervent hope is that at the end
of this new college year all the ex-
cellent resolutions for study we have

now will not have been in vain . . .
But we said that last September, too
. . Nuff said for now . . .

We Welcome the Students
to Maryville

And trust that each of you will visit our
clean, modern store where you will find
anything and everything you want— from
Soup to Nuts, including Fresh Vegetables,

Several Students
Marry, Attend
Other Schools

It is impossible to ascertain exactly
how much effect leap year had on the
situation, but it is true that many
familiar faces around the campus have
been entangled in the bonds of matri-
mony during the summer vacation.

"Bert" Howie, champion woman de-
bator, and an accomplished public
speaker, is now residing in Florida
under the name of Mrs. John Phay.
Mr. Phay is also a graduate of Mary-
ville college, class of '34. Violet Hamby
is happily married to another student,
Don Swann.

The notorious Senator Hegner, (Dave
Maas), is not married, but has not re-
turned to Maryville. The Senator will
attend the University of Cincinnati for
his junior and senior years, Jane
Cobbet, vice president of the women's
glee club, did not return to school be-
cause of a recent operation. She intends
to enroll at Maryville a little later in
the year.

Robert Kleemeier, the tall fellow
with a freight train whistle, plans to
attend Ohio Wesleyan university where
Dr. Paul Fields, formerly of Maryville,
is head of the Psychology department.

Doris Woodwell, member of last
year's freshman debate team, and
writer on the Highland Echo staff, will
attend another school.

Gid Johnson, varsity football star,
has been married for sometime. Ethel
Stegall, known as "Olie", is to teach a
group of second grade students in a
school in Kingston, Tennessee.

Campus Changes

(Continued from page one)

ments on Anderson are a new roof on
the annex and an ice cooled water
fountain in the hall near the student-
help office. The walls and woodwork in
the president's office have also been
refinished.

Student labor financed by the Y, M.
C. A. and the college jointly has com-
pletely refinished the lower floor of
Bartlett Hall.

Other improvements are a new silo
at the college farm, a new roof on
portions of Science Hall, the leveling
of the floor in the bacteriology class-
room, and some work on the bleachers
in preparation for the coming football
season.

A Duty Which
You Owe to Yourself

PHONE 666

This Fall thousands of students will
enter our colleges to study the tech-
nology of their chosen professions.
When they graduate their chances of
success will be rated as 870 to 1 over
their non-college competitors. These
figures were compiled from a study of
the famous names in Appleton's En-
cyclopedia of Biography.

That knowledge is power is more
true today than ever before — special-
ized knowledge, not familiarity with all
the facts of the Universe.

In the words of Herbert Kaufman,
"You aren't expected to be omniscient.
But we do look to you to make good
at your own game— to equip yourself
*ith every possible detail that bears
upon your immediate pursuit — to keep
investigating and searching and pon-
dering and speculating upon every
phase of your specialty. You have time
to do that It is an immediate obliga-
tion—a duty wheh you owe to your-
self."

i HIGHLAND ECHO SEPTEMBER 12, 1936

Greetings, everyone:

Now that you are more or less settled on the premises,
have attended a class or two, have fixed up your room,
and other stuff, it's high time you are noticing that fine
squad of budding gridmen that have been haunting the
practice field for the past two weeks. Opening their sea-
son against the Wildcats of Kentucky nexa week, and
following that with the first home game, against
Hiwassee, the football men are already in the scrimmage
stage. Although Coach Honaker will tell us nothing about
the chances for a successful season, a little observation
will no doubt promise a highly interesting year of High-
lander football.

Cochrane Back

K-

We thought perhaps we were seeing
things when big Jim Cochrane loomed
up on the horizon of the practice field
the other afternoon, and started punt-

FOOTBALL — 1936

- Sept. 25 Hiwassee-here
'Oct. 3 Tusculum— there

Oct. 9 Cullowhee — here

former Scottie star assured us that he
was really back, and was rarin' to go.
Shifted back from the line position
that made him famous, Cochrane is
preparing to unleash a series of long
Hfunts against Highlander opponents
this season. We remember the general
dismay that clouded the scene when
Cochrane left Highlander football via
the hospital route a season or two
ago, and it's surely comfortable to see
those 200 pounds of brawn galloping
up the field again.

Orchids Again

The very first orchid of the season
falls lightly on the golden curls of Bob
McKibben, who, happening thjrough
the Cincy Terminal at the wrong time,
was forced to part with an advance
payment on this year's Chilhowean.
Said Bob, in part, "I'm glad that I was
first." He didn't look it.

Coaches Vacation
And Attend Class
During Summer

Honaker, Thrower off to

Other States; Fischbach

Attends College

Yorick

Well

The sudden absence of the accus-
tomed antagonism against our vague
sports ramblings in this spread by
Yorick, who fled from Underneath the
Bough, probably because of the mos-
quitoes, leaves me with nothing to do
but defend myself from the freshman
whose names I misspell, the upper-
classmen whose triumphs I don't write
up, and the ladies whose sports events
seem to fill that corner down at the
cottom. We feel a sigh coming on.

The opening of the school year finds
thje coaching staff returning intapt
from the summer vacation.

Coach Honaker, head coach of foot-
ball, and baseball spent part of the
summer vacationing in Virginia, be-
fore returning to Maryville.

Coach Thrower, wrestling, track, and
line coach in football, returned to his
native state, Texas, this summer. On
his return to Maryville he participated
in local Softball games, where he was
outstanding.

Coach G. F. Fischbach attended
Northwestern university summer
coaching school, which had an enrol-
ment of 175 high school and college
coaches. Courses were offered in foot-
ball, basketball, track, swimming, and
athletic administration.

Coach Fischbach was privileged to
watch the daily practice sessions of
All-Stars who tied the Detroit Lions
at Soldiers field on September 1.

He took courses in swimming and
athletic administration under Tom
Robinson.

Scotties Coach

Steve Boretsky, former Scot
football and wrestling star, and
O'Neal Gray, captain of the 1935
grid squad and star track man,
are coaching football at Mary-
ville High School during the pre-
sent season.

Boretsky, star athlete during
all four of his years here, took
up the position of backfield
coach of the Scottie eleven the
first year after his graduation.
From this post he went the next
year to the head coaching posi-
tion at Townsend High School,
Townsend, Tennessee, where he
chalked up an enviable record
in all branches of sport. This
year Steve returns to Maryville
is coach of the local high school
gridders.

Gray, end and captain on last
year's Scot eleven, and high
jump man on the Highlander
:inder squad, has also returned,
md the two are very busy these
days, rounding out a new grid
squad down at the Maryville
ligh school.

Bill Dunn, varsity football player,
and president of last year's freshman
class is attending the State Teacher's
college in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Open Season with Kentucky

At Lexington Saturday;

Forty-one On Squad

With fifteen long and successful
years behind him, Coach Lombe Scott
Honaker this season takes up the men-
torship of another of the Scottie elevens
that have been under his watchful eye
since first he came to the Maryville
campus. Already the recipient of the
double honor of systematizing High-
lander athletics and leading the Scots
to conference championships in every
department of Maryville sportdom, the
veteran coach is already busy turning
out another Scot grid machine.

Head coach of football, basketball,
and baseball since his arrival here,
Coach Honaker has secured numerous
Conference titles in all three sports,
the most recent being the two-year-in-
a-row championship of Smoky Moun-
tain Conference basketball.

Busily engaged in putting the High-
lander squad through a light scrim-
mage this afternoon, Coach Honaker
would make no predictions as to the
outcome of the current season.
Thrower At Line Post

Bib Bob Thrower, one-time captain
of a Scottie eleven returns to the line-
coaching position in football this year,
as well as to the head coaching jobs
in track and wrestling. Coach Thrower,
since his return to Maryville as a mem-
ber of the faculty has secured an en-
viable record in both the sports under
his supervision, as well as being an
important factor in the development of I
(Continued on page four)

The second Saturday of g. ' I practice
today finds Coach L. S. Honaker
"moanin' low" over the Scotties'
chances of a satisfactory debut against
the Kentucky Wildcats next week.
Forced to pick a starting lineup in the
next four days from a squad of forty-
one, including five lettermen and six-
teen frosh hopefuls, the coaching staff
aims only at holding the powerful
Kentuckians to a reasonable number
of touchdowns.

The team which will start the Lex-
ington scrap next Saturday will show
five or six new faces. Alexander and
Coulter at en^a, Renfro at center, and
Overly and Captain Crawford in the
backfield are the only men who saw
regular service in 1935. Tackle duties
will be shared by Feezell and Coch-
rane, newcomers who carry consider-
able weight and experience. Among
the freshman line candidates Tulloch,
a 200-pound tackle has shown most
promise. He should develop into one
of the few capable reserves before the
season ends.

In the backfield the leading aspirants
are Overly and Crawford, lettermen;
Kindred, Swearengin, Burris, and
Widener, 1936 subs; Baird, Etheridge,
and Wilborn, first year men. A quartet
composed of Burris at quarterback,
Crawford and Etheridge at halves, and
Overly at full, looked best in Friday's

problem in this department is to un-
cover a triple-threat man, or even a
double-threat man. Present plans call
for big Jim Cochrane to drop back
from his tackle position to do the
punting, a job left vacant by the ab-
sence of Odell from this year's squad.
He may also handle part of the passing
chores, as no dependable heaver has
yet appeared among the backs.

Today, as the Scots square off at
three o'clock for their first scrimmage,
all signs point to a 1936 Maryville team
which will be seriously handicapped
both by inexperience and by a lack of
reserve strength. On the other hand
the boys' improved spirit— their only
asset, according to Coach Honaker —
should go for in off-setting this weak-

Musical Groups
Remodeled Under
Colbert's Baton

New Director Begins School

Year with Augmented

Orchestra, Band

Under the able direction of Mr. Ralph
Colbert of the music department, the
band has increased to thirty-five mem-
bers this year and the school is serious-
ly considering buying uniforms. In
addition to Mr. Colbert's direction, Dick
Woodring, an experienced high school
drum major, will lead the band in
marching.

Other improvements planned by Mr.
Colbert are a sponsor for the band, the
purchase of new music, and some new
instruments including at least one
more bass. It is also very probable that
the size of the band will be further
increased.

Woodring will be assited in drilling
the band by Jack Meigs, a freshman,
who has had experience in drilling
with R. O. T. C. units. Woodring was

Name Changed On
Girls' Dormitory

The name of Memorial Hall has been
changed to McLain Memorial Hall and
the new name now appears on the
nameplate on the front of the building.

This change is in accord with an
arrangement made almost ten years
ago, when a generous fund was given
by Mr. Nelson Wylie McLain and his
wife, Mrs. A. McLain, and was of great
value in remodeling Baldwin and
Memorial Halls and in placing the
sprinkler system for fire protection in
the two buildings. The death of Mr.
McLain had already occurred before
this fund was received by the College
and Mrs. McLain then agreed to the
suggestion of the College that after
her death the name of Memorial Hall
should be changed to McLain Memorial
Hall. Mrs. McLain died in Middleiown,
New York, July 27, 1936. '

In a letter written by President Wil-
son of the College in 1927, the follow-
ing explanation of the reasons for this
change is made:

"Memorial Hall was erected at the
time of the reunion of the old and new
schools of the Presbyterian Church and
a memorial fund of five mililon dollars
was sought in order to celebrate the
reunion. Maryville received a few
hundred dollars through that fund and
yet, nevertheless, used the name
Memorial for the building. So you see,
the building may be named McLain
Memorial without infringing on the
rights of any former donor. The money
that erected Memorial Hall was given
by genreal donors of the College hav-
ing nothing to do with the Presbyterian
memorial fund."

Theta Epsilon's annual rush week
will be opened by a tea on Tuesday
afternoon in the Y. W. C. A. rooms.
This will be followed on Thursday by
a "Jewels of the Pirates" program in
the college woods.

The entire series of programs will be
centered around a central theme, of the
Jewel Box, which will be opened at
different times and under various con-
ditions for the pleasure of new girls.

The rush week will be climaxed by
a gala program to be presented in the

Campus Crew Lays
New Storm Sewer

Athenian Opening Program
Features Muisical Skits

Tonight the Athenians will begin
their year's activities with a welcome
meeting for new men students in
Athenian hall at 6:45.

President Don McArthur will deliver
the "Howdy" address, speaking of the
traditions and purposes of the society
and its place on the campus.

The flying fingers of Robert Rankin
will entertain with an "Accordian
Activity, followed by "Idiotic Inter-
pretations" appropriately supplied by
Red Kent and Bill Downes. "Musical
Murders" will be perpetrated by the
"Tune Botchers." Refreshments will be
served, and the benediction by Fred
Rhody will close the meeting.

With a crew of between 90 and 100
boys, Mr. Ernest Brown, is swiftly
changing the campus into one of de-
tailed cleanliness and beauty.

Most of the work is being directed
toward general cleaning in beautifying
the walks and in improving the tennis
courts and golf course.

The project began last spring of
laying storm and sanitary sewers to
Thaw hall is being completed. The 12-
inch storm pipe drains the football
field, the low section behind the west
bleachers known as "Wilson Lake," and
the roofs of Thaw, Science, and the
swimming pool. "Brownie" hopes to
run an extension from Baldwin hall
to the city main on highway no. 73,
although it is not expected that the
work will be started for a short time.

The workers on the farm have al-
ready started cutting corn and filling
the large silo which was recently
finished.

The sharpening of saws and axes in-
dicates that the woods are to be cleaned
of the 45 ir 50 trees uprooted during
a recent storm.

"Brownie" expressed the hope that
he could soon resume work on the
new circle drive started last year with
N. Y. A. workers.

Honor Graduate
Wins Yale Prize

OBITUARY

The late Susan Cooky, better
remembered by Boarding club
members as Susie, met tragic
death suddenly on Thursday
afternoon last while crossing
Pearsons avenue to visit the
Baldwin tennis courts.

Susie was trotting happily
along when a large truck swerv-
ed around the bend and killed
her. An onlooker bore her to the
side of the road, from where she
was later carried to her final
resting place east of Thaw hall.

Susie was affectionately de-
scribed as "rat-tailed" by her
friends and acquaintances. She
occupied positions of high im-
portance, having led the pro-
cessional of the Vesper choir on
one occasion, and having super-
vised the dining hall affairs re-
gularly since taking her place in
campus life several weeks ago.

For the past several days Susie
had been the house guest of Miss
Calista Palmer and Miss Dottie
Mae Lewis, her close friends,
by whom she is survived.

A formal entertainment to be pre*

Bainonian's annual rush week. During
this week new girls have been the
guests of Bainonian society at several
functions. On Tuesday afternoon, a
travel tea was well attended, and the
college woods was the scene of a
more informal program designed to
acquaint the prospective members with
Bainonian's resources and purposes, on
Thursday.

The theme of the week's entertain-
ment has centered around movieland.
Tonight the swimming pool will be
renamed Catalina island, and the
visiting movie stars will lend their
talents to the enrichment of the pro-
gram.

In addition to swimming and diving
exhibitions, there will be musical and
dramatic interludes featuring promi-
nent members of the society. Ellen
Hitch, Bainonian's opening week presi-
dent in 1935, who has been heard this
year at the impromptu program pre-

musical readings.

Popular numbers have been arranged
and will be sung by the Bainonian trio,

DIARY OF A COLONEL

The renovation of Pearsons lobby

Mr. Walter Morton, Mr. Ernest

I in the course of a few days, changed
a dormitory room into the ultra-smart

trimmings help to enhance the beauty

(Echo Special Writer)

Musty, dust-covered trunks stored
in dark and secluded corners of attics
are interesting things to explore.
There one may find everything from a
family scandal to grandpa's great
broadsword, used upon the enemy in
the dim long ago. And most of all, it
is fun to explore the time-yellowed
pages of documents and letters sup-
posedly locked securely in the trunk.
It was my pleasure to find this out this
summer when I discovered in an old
diary a part of the history of Mary-
ville. telling of the campaigns of the
Army of the Cumberland through East
Tennessee.

It was like meeting an old friend to
run upon page aftcr page of reference
to Maryville in the diary of Lt. Col.
David Claggett, 4th Corps, 10th Ky.
Regt of the Army of the Cumberland,
U. S. A. Lt. Col. Claggett entered the
army in October of 1861. In the ensu-
ing months, he engaged in the battles
of Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Chickamauga,
Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge
and was a witness to the battle of
Perryville. Following its active en-

gagement in the fighting at Chatta-
nooga, the 4th Corps was ordered to
relieve the Union forces at Knoxville
being hard pressed by the Confede-
rates under Gen. Longstreet. It was
early December when the march
started, and the Hiwassee River was too
near flood stage to permit a crossing.
After a days wait there, the army
moved on in the direction of Maryville.
Reaching Maryville— spelled in the
diary Mayville — foraging parties found
the natives staunchly Union in sym-
pathy, and willing to help in every way.
Orders from the commanding officer
took Lt. Col. Claggett and his
regiment back to Georges Mill, which
was situated on Little River near what
is now the settlement of Wildwood.
Confiscating the mill, the soldiers
ground grain brought in by foraging
parties for the use of the army. Hear-
ing that the enemy was near Straw-
berry Plains, north of Knoxville, the
corps moved in that direction, and
spent a most disagreeable three weeks,
without baggage, with no change of
clothes for either officers or men. often

The enthusiasm and numbers at the pep meeting
Thursday night were the greatest in several years. That's
the kind of cheering our team will need this year if they
are to attempt to overcome the many heavier and more
experienced opponents they're scheduled to meet.

When we meet out there on the bleachers at our first
home game next Friday night, it's up to the entire student
body to follow the cheerleaders in making that team out
there on the field feel like "fighting to the end." We've
shown that we have the spirit when there's a roof over
our heads ; out there the sky's the limit ! Come on, Scotties,
lets go !

ABSENCE OF CRITICISM

One of the most marked of the
campus improvements at this, the
opening of a new college year, has
been the absence of the atmosphere
of criticism always evinced during
the latter part of the year. Whether
or not the many changes made here
during the summer have effected
this noticeable improvement in the
temper of our ways is not the point
to consider. The fact remains that
as time wears on, monotony in-
duces boredom, and work becomes
to constantly with us, the tendency
toward fault-finding overthrows
enthusiasm for reform, and we
whine.

This year promises to be one
of progress toward the ultimate goal,
the perfect college. Changes made
by the administration should be
supplemented by initiative and by
mature, thoroughly considered stu-
dent judgments. Steadily advancing
business conditions are also an aid
to those working for improvements,

The band, up to now a relatively
unimportant, short-lived organi-
zation, its appearances confined
almost entirely to the football
games, affords an opportunity for
the first energies in the new year.
A new director, filled with enthu-
siasm, and fresh from triumphs
with similar organizations, needs
only to be supplemented by a
group of interested, cooperative
students to make the band the
pride of the Hill.

The Echo itself begins the
semester with hopes of rewriting
its poorly organized constitution
with an idea toward additional
services to the student body. The
Student council proposes changes
in school administration tending
toward a more unified student
family and a more efficient man-
agement of student affairs.

A newly organized Fine Arts
department, with the introduction
of majors in the fields of expres-
sion and music, makes possible the
broadening of the curriculum and
the acquiring of more and diver-
sified talent among the students.

These improvements must not
be accepted as a matter of course.
The spirit of cooperation and en-
thusiastic interest prevalent now,
as we begin the new year, must
not die.

Ministerial Meeting

Well Attended Tuesday

The 1936-37 activities of the Minis-
terial Association got under way Tues-
day evening when twenty-eight men
met in Anderson hall. The gathering
was in the form of a get-together, get-
acquainted type, the old and new men
recounting their vacation experiences
and the new men giving their names,
addresses, and church affiliations and
activities. This general informal meet-
ing, presided over by Evan Renne,
president of the association, will be
followed by a regular meeting next
Tuesday evening, the program for
which has not yet been released.

It seems that the prize for the week
should go to the lordly sophomore, who
was heard to growl in the dining hall
about the "syndicated whipped cream."

Mention should be made of the
fact that through oversight the
name of Leland Waggoner, activi-
ties editor, was omitted from the
masthead of last week's Echo.
Apologies are due this faithful
member of the staff.

Arrangements have been made
for establishing an exchange
desk in the college library, where
copies of the Echo's exchanges
will be placed for the use of
anyone interested. The table at
the left of the door, as one enters
the library, will be devoted to
such a purpose in the future.

If any student wishes the Echo
to exchange with a publication
not now included qn the list,
such arrangements could be
made through any member of the
staff.

Those students living off the
campus may have their copies of
the Echo by calling at the col-
lege post office.

first place and a second place in the
event with his saddle horse, Dixie
Chief. Next week he will again vie for
monejj and ribbons in the Sevier county
fair in Sevierville.

Yielding at last to our long and in-
sistent importunities, the editor has
granted us kind permission to embellish
this page occasionally. We are grate-
ful and promise to be good.

Since the Compleat Critick comes as
somewhat of an innovation, we believe
a definite explanation of our purpose
is essential. Being the nineteenth of

we can well call it our platform.

letters in general and contemporary
literature in particular there is much of
interest to the more serious student.
We shall bring some of it to his at-
tention from time to time.

2. We believe that too much cannot
be said in appreciation of those few
great artists who come to us each
year, and that some more tangible tri-
bute should be made than applause.

3. We believe that Maryville's artis-
tic, musical, and dramatic activities de-
serve more recognition than the ad-
vance notices which have usually been
their share in the past. We shall try
to give credit where credit is due in
the artistic enterprises of the school.

In short, we shall be a sort of clear-
ing house of comment on the arts at
Maryville, and we hope you'll like us.

Incidentally, contracts for the artist
,eries are being signed this week. We
wish we could tell who, but our lips
are sealed.

Dr. Knapp Visits
Alumni Society

Sees Scientific Exhibits
In California

M Club to Elect Offcers

The M Club will begin its regular
meetings on the first Monday in Octo-
ber. The president, Leah McGhee, how-
ever, intends to call a special business
meeting before that time for the pur-
pose of electing officers to fill the
vacancies left by girls who did not re-
turn to Maryville this year.

The club is composed of girls who
have earned 400 points or more in the
point system program, and its aim is
to maintain a high standard in women's
sports.

Dr. Knapp, Professor of Mathematics,
was the guest of the Maryville college
club of Southern California during the
summer. Dr. Knapp received an invi-
tation from the club in the summer of
1935, but because of illness was unable
to accept. He had, however, as he says,
a "more than marvelous" vacation in
that state this year, and the following
letter from the secretary of the club
was addressed to the Alumni associ-
ation here for its interest and records.
"Dear Friends:

"Since the Alumni Association has
shown considerable interest in our
plan to bring Dr. Knapp to California
as the guest of the Maryville College
Club of Southern California, I have
thought that you might like to have a
short account of his visits here. I have
delayed so long, however, in carrying
out this intention that you may already
have received details of his visit from
our guest himself.

"Professor Knapp arrived in Los
Angeles on Friday morning, July 26,
after stopping in Arizona to visit the
Grand Canyon. It had been arranged
that he was to make his headquarters
in Pasadena at the Las Encinas Sani-
tarium, where Dr. Ethel Fanson is a
member of the staff; so Mr. Phillips,
the president if the club, who met Dr.
Knapp at the station, brought him to
Pasadena shortly after his arrival.

"Several graduates of Olivet college,
where Dr. Knapp taught before coming
to Maryville, live in this vicinity, and
this group arranged a luncheon in his
honor on Saturday. During the follow-
ing two weeks Dr. Knapp was a dinner
guest in the home of one of his former
Olivet students who lives in Eagle
Rock, and another former student took
him on a two-day trip to San Diego.

"Our Maryville group held a dinner
meeting in Dr. Knapp's honor at the
University club in Pasadena on Thurs-
day, July 2. We were disappointed in
the small number present, as several
whom we had expected to have with
us were obliged to send regrets.
Each guest found at his place a post
card view of some building on the
Maryville campus and a pennant
sticker in the college colors, brought
from Maryville by Dr. Knapp. A felt
pennant hung above the table, and the
college colors were further carried out
in the flowers and in crepe paper
decorations. Dr. Cooper was asked to
introduce Prof. Knapp, although only
three of those present — Mr. Goodner,
Mrs Phil Sheffey, and Mrs. Peters — had
not known him at Maryville. We were

We, the officers of the Maryville
College Young Men's Christian Asso-
ciation, hereby notify all concerned
that no one will have the authority to
charge goods, services rendered, or the
like, to the organization without a
written order which must be signed 1 y
at least three of the four executive
officers.

all delighted, of course, to have Dr.
Knapp with us and to hear him tell,
in his own inimitable style, of the many
changes which have taken place at
Maryville since the most of those pre-
sent were students there. After ids talk,
the majority of the gathering spoke
briefly, recalling experiences of college
days and paying tribute to Dr. Knapp
as teacher} friend and neighbor. A
letter from President Lloyd was also
iead. Arrangements were then made to
show our guest some of the places of
interest in Southern California, and
each person present was given an
opportunity to put in his "bid" for a
part of Dr. Knapp's time.

"Of special scientific interest were
the Mt. Wilson Obesrvatory, the
Griffith Park Planetarium, and the
California Institute of Technology. At
the latter no classes were then in
session and most of the buildings were
closed, but Dr. Knapp was able to see
the huge lens which is being ground
for the new telescope. The Pasadena
Community Playhouse provided dra-
matic entertainment in "Pericles" and
"Coriolanus," as the summer Shake-
speare festival was then in progress.
Dr. Fanson also took Prof. Knapp to
Los Angeles to see Katherine Cornell
in "Saint Joan." The Huntington
Librarian and Forest Lawn Memorial
Park, where "The Last Supper" is re-
produced in stained glass, also proved
worthy of attention. The Coopers and
the Belts took Dr. Knapp to Catalina
Island, and he spent a day in Long
Beach with Mr. and Mrs. Peters. He
was also a guest in the homes of Dr.
and Mrs. Cooper, Dr. and Mrs. Belt,
and Mr. and Mrs Goodner. The ex-
tensive grounds and the quiet and se-
clusion of the sanitarium provided an
opportunity for the pursuit of one of
Prof. Knapp's hobbies, the study of
birds. We had hoped to have him see
the Pilgrimage Play, attend at least
one of the "symphonies under the
stars" in the Hollywood Bowl, and see
something move of the scenic beauty of
California, but he insisted that he must
leave on the morning of July 13.

"I think that Prof. Knapp enjoyed
his brief -visit in Southern California.
The first few days were marred by the
fact that he lost his glasses on the
train, but Dr. Cooper telegraphed to
his brother-in-law, Dr. Burchfield, for
the prescription, and by the following
Tuesday Prof. Knapp was fitted with a
new pair of glasses.

Cordially Yours,

Edith W. Moore."

We had the pleasure of watching the boys off for
Lexington yesterday morning. Hunting up Coach
Honaker shortly before the bus pulled out, we asked the
mentor for a final statement. "Want an obituary?"
grinned the coach. "Well", and he examined the pavement
carefully, "we'll be lucky if we get out alive." We think
he was joking a bit. But, all*
in all, the team that faces

the Wildcats this year is a
far different one than the

eleven that lined up on Stoll field a
year ago. We sort of think that the
score will show evidence of this im-
provement.

They All Come Back

After the letdown your scribe re-
ceived last week when Jack Dunn,
last year's frosh flash, decided to go
to Teachers after all, it was a pleasant
surprise to find "Junior O'dell out
looking over the field this week.
Junior's punting last year was one of
the better things about Highlander
football. We're really looking for
something out of the boy this season.
And, incidentally, his return completes
the roster of varsity men who will be
treading hardwood and aiming at the
hoop not so far hence.

Preview

Hiwassee who invades Wilson field
for the Scotties' first home game next
Friday, starts their season with the
Eagles of Carson-Newman this week-
end. The scores of this game, compared
with the score of our game with
Hiwassee should give a fairly certain

figure on what we will be able to do
to the Eagles this year. Try figuring
it out!

Superior Officer

We underwent a pleasant surprise
this week when the shining face of our
long-suffering sports editor of two
years back looked in upon us. We
remember the excuses that we wore
out on him, in an effort to evade
editorial disapproval. We always
wondered why they didn't go over
until we started hearing the some ones
from the noveate sports scribes under
our wings. It all clears up now.

By the way, we offered Mr. Mea-
dows an opportunity to write a guest
column this week. He smiled and
thanked us, but declined. Guess we'll
have to do our own work.

Gay Pretense.

On looking over the weekly ink-
blots of Yorick, we find that we are
accused of everything from being pro-
Landon to being a Hoosier. We refuse
to enter the political scramble, but
being called a Hoosier, with such an
adjective, cuts us to the Quick, (and
I know where it is, Yorick, you old
villain). After all, I am a Hoosier, and
Indiana isn't such a bad state — to be
from.

McGill, Brandriff Elected

Captain and Manager;

Meets Sought

With four old veterans returning and
some promising freshmen out for prac-
tice the fencing club gives indication
of upholding its record as one of the
premier fencing teams of Tennessee
intercollegiate and amateur fencing
circles.

The Scottie foilsmen who return are
Bill McGill, Bob Brandriff, George
Felknor, and Jack Mahaney. At a
meeting last Monday night, Bill Mc-
Gill, the squad's most experienced
foilsman, was elected captain, and Bob
Brandriff was named manager.

The new leaders are doing their best
to arrange matches with any and all
schools which have fencing teams and
are close to Maryville.

Efforts are also being made to ob-
tain a fencing class in the physical
education department so that everyone
who is interested in fencing might
have a chance to learn the fundamen-
tals.

At the present, the members of last
year's team offer to teach boys who
are interested in fencing on Monday
and Saturday nights at 9:00 p.m. in
Bartlett hall. The first of these practice
sessions will be held on Monday night,
September 21.

SQUAD ROSTER

Six Veterans Return To

Cross-Country Squad;

Prospects Good

A look into the records of past games
with the University of Kentucky re-
veals that the oft repeated Maryville-
Kentucky grid tilt was, more than once
a thrilling, close-matched game.

Because recent scores are so one-
sided, it could easily be imagined that
the mix-up was no more than a
warmer for the UK Wildcats. Such has
not always been the case.

Back in 1907, twenty-nine years ago,
the Maryville Scotties held Kentucky
to a 5-2 decision. According to the
observer, the Highlanders missed win-
ning by the proverbial hair.

"What we needed," the reporter
wrote "was a 10-lb. higher average
weight in the line." That weight would
have meant victory.

The available records jumped from
there to the year 1923, when the Scots
fell 28-0 before the Kentucky Wildcats.
That season, the captain of the High-
lander team and the terror of the
the opponent's line were one and the
same— big Bob Thrower.

An enthusiastic sports scribe writes
of that year— "no longer do the Wild-
cats regard Maryville as a warm-up
team They schedule us as late as
October 20."

The year 1927 was the jubilee year
of Maryville-Kentucky football, as far
as the Scots were concerned. Trotting
out on Stoll Field at Lexinbton the
usual underdog, the Highlanders push-
ed, shoved, battered and rammed to a
6-6 tie with the Wildcat eleven.

A jubilant Scottie sports writer wrote

inregard to this— "Up around Lexing-
ton the name of Horace Clemens is
still softly spoken . behind perfect
interference, he ran 20 yards around
end for the tying touchdown."

In 1929 and 1930, the Scotties lost
both of their annual Wildcat tilts by
large scores. Suffering a dearth of
material, they fell in '29 to the score of
40-0, and in '30 by the score of 57-0.
In both of these years however, the
Honaker men emerged with excellent
Smoky Mountain Conference records.

Winding up the 1931 season as Smoky
Mountain Champs, the Highlanders
suffered but two defeats in 10-game
schedule. These losses were inflicted by
two Universities; Tennessee and Ken-
tucky. That year the Scots left Stoll
Field on the short end of a 19-0 score.

"The actual score of the game"
writes a Maryville scribe, "Was by no
means indication of the fight put up
by Maryville. Several times they miss-
ed scoring by inches."

After the 1931 season, the Scots fell
steadily under the play of the Wildcats.
In '33 they brought back a 46-2 de-
cision. The following year, a 42-0 score
was filed against the Honakermen. Last
year brought defeat by the largest
score ever inflicted on the Scots by
Kentucky. The season-opener of 1935
fell to the Wildcats by a 60-0 margin.

Remembering all these things, then,
it seems certain that, when the time
comes again, Coach L. S. Honaker will
invade Stoll field, and renew the
memory of fighting Highlander elevens
in the mind of every Wildcat fan.

NOTICE

All students signed up for
physical education classes will
start attending them Monday,
September 21, in accordance with
the regular schedule. This applies
except in case of notification of
a change in your schedule or an

YMCA Sports Schedule

Dr. Briggs, Scot Grid Star

Recounting his days at Maryville, Dr.
Briggs, new head of the psychology
department, described to an inquiring
reporter what he termed "the big-
gest thrill of my college life."

For three years Dr. Briggs, who was
graduated from Maryville in 1919, play-
ed right tackle on the varsity High-
lander squad. The incident that he re-
counted occurred on Wilson field in a
game with Mississippi A. and M. On
the team the Scotties were facing two
all-Southern men, one of them named

Bobo. Dr. Briggs' thrill came when, on
three successive plays, he broke
through right end, throwing the Miss-
issippi star backfield men for a total
loss of fourteen yards, a feat which
paved the way for Maryville's sole
touchdown. The score at the close of
the game was a 7-7 tie. Dr. Briggs can
still recall the feeling he had when
the Echo, which was founded in his
freshman year here, appeared the next
day with his name blazed in the head-
lines.

The plans for the annual sports
schedule of the YMCA have been com-
pleted, according to an announcement
by the athletic directors of the Y this
week. This year's schedule is one of
the most complete and interesting pro-
grams ever offered by the Y.

Under the present plans, an athletic
program to be carried out during the
first semester includes a mixed doubles
tennis tournament, touch football,
cross country run, and a golf tourna-
ment. The second semester continues
the athletics with basketball, wrestl-
ing, boxing, swimming, track, baseball,
golf tournament, and spring mixed

A present squad of twelve men is
rapidly rounding into form for the
annual Cross-Country competition.

Injured only by the graduation of
Stuart Snedecker, one of the greatest
distance runners of the south, the team
has bright prospects for the coming
season. Six veterans have returned to
form the core of the 1936 squad.

Those returning are Talmage, Baird,
Rugh, Meares, Wood, and Orr.

Hiwassee Here
For Home Opener

Returning from their jaunt into the
Bluegr4|s country, our Scctties begin
their home season in earnest on Wilson
field next Friday night, when they
meet the Hiwassee gridders of Coach
D R Youell.

The brand of opposition offered by
the Madisonville junior college boys is
expected to be a welcome relief after
the clawing which Kentucky will ad-
minister today.

Coach Honaker stated this week that,
while the Scots are in poor shape for
the opener at Lexington, "the boys
should be ready to play football after
another week of practice."

Hiwassee opened it's season last
night, suffering a 0-14 loss at the hands
of the Carson-Newman Eagles. Youell's
team was hit doubly hard by the injury
of Captain Joiner, who is not expected
to be ready for action against the
Highlanders next week.

Kentucky Host to Honaker

And Men in Opener

At Lexington

Coach L. S. Honaker and twenty-five
men left here shortly before noon Fri-
day for Lexington, Kentucky, where
they open the 1936 grid season against
the Kentucky Wildcats.

Although completely satisfied with
the showing of the Scots to date, Coach
Honaker held no hopes for a spectacu-
lar game this year. "Our job is to hold
them down as much as is possible," he
said, "and I believe we'll be able to
account for ourselves."

The players making the trip are:
Alexander, Coulter, Kosloski, Jenkins,
Cochrane, Hall, S. Taylor, T. Taylor,
Tulloch Burns, Falkner, Proffitt, Propst,
Cooper, Renfro, Baird, Burris, Craw-
ford, Etheredge, Kindred, Overly, Odell,
Swearinger, Wilborn, and Widner.

Coach Honaker was uncertain of the
opening lineups, he said. However, he
announced that the staiting eleven will
probably be: Ends, Alexander and
Coulter; tackles, Cochrane and Tulloch;
guards, Proffitt and Propst; center,
Cooper or Renfro; quarter, Swearinger;
halves, Crawford and Baird; full-back,
Overly.

Overly will call signals for the
eleven, Coach Honaker said.

Dear Unk:

May I call you "Unk"? I'm worried.
The way in which my roommate swings

Dear Suspicious:

Think nothing of it! For thousands

Why not look at the situation scien-

DIARY OF A COLONEL

snow. Those who have weathered a
Maryville winter can readily realize the
hardships endured.

On January 17, 1864, the outposts
of the army began a skirmish with a
body of Confederates. Vague reports
drifted back to the Union army. The
next day the fighting grew sharper.
That evening, the army, fearing that a
large force of men was attacking them,
fell back to Strawberry Plains,. Still
not knowing the strength of the enemy
with whom the outposts were skir-
mishing, the army became panic-
stricken and fled, burning their bag-
gage and destroying a bridge over the
Holston River.

Reorganized, only to find that a very
small force of Confederates had been
driving them, the army went into win-
ter quarters at Maryville on a knoll
"on the north of town in a very nice
place." According to information avail-
able, the army when here camped on
the knoll back of the present site of
Fort Craig school. For three weeks the
army was in comfortable winter quar-
ters in Maryville. On January 28th, a
part of an entry read — "it is a nice
town and good country." On Sunday,
January 31st, Lt. Col. Claggett went
visiting among the natives and found
them quite congenial, for he says he
spent the day "very pleasantly." The
entry of February 6th also reflected
well upon Maryville. "We complete our
camp and now have splendid winter
quarters — men all in fine spirits — ".
The army remained here until Febru-
ary 16th, when they were ordered in
pursuit of the enemy.

From then until the middle of April,
the army searched in vain for the
rebel forces which continued to strike
isolated spots throughout East Ten-
nessee. Many amusing entries may be
found concerning this expedition. Not
the least of these is March 21st, which
reads in part "it is Sunday and the
girls here in Rutlidge all have their
good clothes on and their faces washed

this is a uood place to stay at".

Fourteen Students
Plan Honors Work

The taking of honors work at Mary-
ville is one of the highest achievements,
and also perhaps one of the least heard
of on the campus.

Students of the graduating class who
have had an average of not less than
B in their major field, and not less
than a C plus in other subjects may
select a project in their major interest.
Work along this line is much like work
on a thesis Li a graduate school, and a
thesis is usually presented at the com-
pletion of the work to show the re-
search made during the year.

Six hours credit is usually given for
the work, but it is possible for a stu-
dent to receive a greater or lesser
number hours of credit.

In this year's senior class there are
fourteen members who have been ac-
cepted to do honors work during this
year. They are: Mark Andrews, Bible;
Marcella Ardern, home economics;
Joan Dexter, French; Shirley Jackson,
Mary Lawson, Bernice Gaines, English;
Charlotte King, biology; Dorothy Leaf,
chemistry; Wilkison Meeks, physics;
Dorothea Stadlemann, German;

Blanche Webb, religious education;
Alma WhifTen, biology; Josephine
Winner, chemistry; and Helen Wood-
ard, sociology.

HONOR ROLL

Students Visit

Famous Resorts

An Echo reporter found fertile
material in interviewing various stu-
dents about their vacation activities.

Clara Dale Echols, this year's treas-
urer of the Y. W. C. A., traveled in
Mexico for two weeks, stopping at
Mexico City and taking shorter trips
from there. Miss Echols was especially
interested in the archeological activi-
ties at Teotihuacan, where several tem-
ples and pyramids of the Aztec and
pre-Aztec tribes have been uncovered.

Simpson Spencer, editor of the 1937
Chilhowean, spent his vacation "hop-
ping bells" in a hotel at East North-
field, Massachusetts. He "carried suit-
cases, climbed mountains, and went
swimming."

Lillian Crawford spent seven weeks
of the summer seeing America first.
She visited the Centennial celebration
in Texas, went through New Mexico to
the famous Carlsbad caverns, and on
her way through Arizona saw the
Grand canyon. From Los Angles she
visited Long Beach, Catalina island,
and Hollywood. On her return trip
she spent three days in Yellowstone
park.

Dailinc Andrus. whose home is in
Los Angles, made a live-day visit at
the home ol a friend in Bridgeport,
Ohio after commencement. She travel-
ed a part of the distance from Bridge-
port to Lincoln, Nebraska, on the
famous streamlined train, the Burling-
ton Zephyr.

Queener Plans Freshman
Debating Tournament

Sixty-seven prospective freshman
debaters met with Prof. Verton
Queener in the philosophy class room
last night to plan a series of classes in
public speaking. The debaters decided
to meet in two classes, one on Monday
at the D period and the other at the
E period.

The classes will meet throughout the
semester and will end with the try-
outs for the team, to be held at the
beginning of the second semester.
Tryouts wil be on a question to be
picked by the classes.

Prof. Queener anounced that he was
trying to organize a debate tournament
for freshman teams of four year
colleges in Tennesese to be held at
Maryville. He has already written to
a number of colleges about the tourna-
ment, but has not yet received any
answers.

organize into a permanent trio. Since
that time they have almost uninter-
ruptedly had a part in the success of
the entertainments on the Hill.

Calista Palmer, one member of the
trio, as president of Bainonian, will
formally welcome new girls and pledge
their support for the society. Her
election to this office last spring cli-
maxed three years of popularity on the
campus. She has been especially active
in the musical activities of the college,
and has served one year as president
of the Women's Glee club.

The distribution of favors and the
reading of greetings from graduated
members of the society will close the
program, and also Bainonian's week of
welcome.

that others will come in later. There is
a wider selection of instruments than
heretofore, with an unusually strong
section of stringed instruments. No
more trumpets are needed, and saxo-
phones will not be used in the
orchestra. However, someone is needed
to play the cello which will be sup-
plied by the college.

It is the opinion of Mr. Colbert that
some exceptionally good material has
turned out, and that with proper co-
operation the orchestra this year might
reach high degree of excellence.

There will be practices twice each
week. Tryouts will be held on Tues-
day evening, September 22. Anyone
who has not tried out, but who is in-
tersted in being in the orchestra is
urged to come on Tuesday evening and
bring his instrument.

Band Chooses Reba Blazer

at Pep Meeting; Cheer

Leaders Elected

An enthusiastic crowd at the pep
meeting on Thursday evening elected
three new cheer leaders, while the
members of the
band selected Reba
Blazer, attractive
junior, for band
sponsor. The new
cheer leaders are
Wilson Leathers,
Russell Steven-
son, and Harold
Wickland. They
won out over
seven other as-
pirants, including
Reba Blazer Warren HUditch,

Ed Mac Nicoll, Ralph Vineyard, Bill
Wood, Frank Pons, Glenn Young, and
Bill Karukus. Bill Young, who handled
the pep rally, is the head cheer leader.

The band members elected Reba
Blazer band sponsor, choosing her form
a field of six girls nominated by the
three upper classes. The other girls
were Juanita Stephens, senior, Joan
Dexter, senior, Helen Miller, junior,
Mollie Comstock and Kim Avery,
sophomores.

The band, under the direction of Mr.
Ralph Colbert, made a distinct hit with
the students , playing a number of
snapppy tunes. Dick Woodring, capable
drum-major, handled the band in fine
style during two of the numbers. The
numerous favorable comments of the
students concerning the band indicate
that Mr. Colbert's fine work is being
appreciated.

Notice
To Student Workers

Time sheets for all work done
on college time for the month of
September must be in the Stu-
dent-Help office on the morning
of Thursday, October 1, in order
to be included in the payroll.

All N. Y. A. time sheets should
include work done through Sat-
urday, October 3, and should be
turned in at the Student-Help
office on the evening of that day.
The Government does not allow
us to include any time on the
payroll except that of the current
month. If a student's report is
not turned in promptly, it will be
necessary for him to lose that
time. All succeeding periods for
N. Y. A. payrolls will end on the
third day of the month.

We shall appreciate your co-
operation in helping us to make
our payrolls promptly.

Sixty Men Leave
For Annual Hike

Answering the call to the wide, open
spaces, about sixty boys left this after-
noon for Thunderhead in the Great
Smokies on the annual fall hike of the
Y. M. C. A. The trip, originally plan-
ned to Lake Santeetlah, was changed
because of the low water at this season.

The group of sixty is subdivided into
six groups, each acting as an inde-
pendent unit, and each having a
leader. The leaders are Weldon Baird,
Dave Brittain, Dick Schlafer, Ray
Nelson, Ralph Hand, and Fred Young.

The boys will camp tonight at the
bottom of the mountain, and after a
worship service early Sunday morning,
they will climb the rugged and barren
Thunderhead. Here they will cook the
last of their three meals, made more
appetizing by the keen mountain air,
and flavored with the tempting and
exhilarating tang of wood smoke and
pine needles. The boys will return to
the campus late tomorrow afternoon.

Y. W. C. A. Perfects
New Year's Plans

Sub-Committees Function
in Y Activities

The Y. W. C. A. is rapidly perfect-
ing plans for an active year. Kay Reed
and Louise Orr, program chairmen,
have not yet completed arrangements,
but they have decided to devote
several Sunday meetings to discussion
of various topics of interest to college
women. Later in the year round table
discussions may be held.

The world fellowship committee un-
der the direction of Helen Woodward
will sponsor a campus peace group.
The athletic committee has already
announced through its chairman, Emily
Watson, a mixed tennis tournament to
be organized in cooperation with the
Y. M. C. A. There will be a women's
tournament, in addition.

Social service work, which forms an
important part of Y. W. activities, is
already under way. Women under the
direction of Ruth Proffitt entertain
children at the orphanage at weekly
meetings. Additional social work is
carried on at the Sunnybrook mission
on Mondays and Wednesdays, when
Ruth Kort Kamp and Joy Pinneo
direct a Girl Scout troup, and Mary
Chambers and Sue Lupton conduct
a story and game hour. Curtmarie
Brown is mission chairman of the Y.
W. C. A.

All women are urged to make use of
the Y rooms, in Thaw hall, which are
open daily from breakfast to supper
time. Chaperoned parties may be held
there with the permission of Mrfc.
Snyder.

With the personnel of the men's and
women's glee clubs complete, the two
organizations began practice this week.
At some time this year the clubs,
assisted by the choir, will present the
Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The
Midako," according to the plans of Mr.
Colbert, their director.

Both organizations have a member-
ship considerably larger than they have
had in the past. The men's club is com-
posed of thirty-seven voices; the
women's has thiry-nine members.

Donald Hallam, president of the
Glee Singers, is also president of the
Alpha Sigma society. He served as
business manager of the Glee Singers
last year. Mr. Hallam is an influential
member of the Social committee, and
was elected this week as a senior re-
presentative to the Student council.
Other officers of the club are Wilson
Leathers, busines manager, and John
Magill, assistant business manager.

The members of the Glee Singers are:
Charles Blair, Lynn Curtis, Edwin

BROWSING PRIVILLGL

By J. T. HUNT

After being closed for a period of
ten years, with but occasional openings
at commencements, the museum in the
northern end of the library is now to
remain open. Immediate plans call for
a complete rearrangement and fuller
cataloging of the exhibits. Many geo-
logical and biological specimens not yet
catalogued or displayed will soon be
ready for exhibition.

Containing many interesting and
valuable relics and curios, the museum
stands as a fine tribute to the work of
Dr. Wilson, through whose constant
work and ever growing enthusiasm
much of the material has been obtained.
The collections were gathered over a
period covering scores of years, but
were not assembled until about ten
years ago.

The collections are not restricted to
a narrow representation of countries

and civilizations, but contain major
foreign exhibits from Africa, the
Phillipines, Japan, Syria, Persia,
Greece, and China. Most of the material
has been presented by missionaries,
former students, and other friends of
the college.

The exhibits in the northern corner
of the library reading room give an
indication as to the value and interest
to be found in the museum proper.
Here are not only exhibits from China
and India, but also various papers re-
lated to the history and development
of Maryville college. For instance,
thero are commencement programs
dating from 1848, of which class Pro-
fessor T. J. Lamar was a member. Pro-
grams of the Beth-Hacma and Beth-
Hacma Ve-Bereth, two ante bellum
societies in which Dr. Anderson and
Professor Lamar took part are avail-

Echo Staff Adds
Two Sophomores

At a meeting of the Committee on
Student Publications on Monday after-
noon, Curtmarie Brown and Fred
Rhody, sophomores, were elected to
fill the vacancies left on the Echo
staff by the failure to return of Doris
Woodwell and Virginia Allen. Miss
Brown and Mr. Rhody have both had
previous experience in journalism, and
bring to the staff new possibilities for
news and feature writing.

The committee, composed of three
groups representing the faculty, the
student body, and the Echo staff, voted
to eliminate all but four of the appli-
cants for places among the associate
editors, allowing Mary Haines, Helen
Woodward, J. T. Hunt, and Walter
West to participate in two more weeks
of tryouts. Two of these four will be
selected, finally, to fill vacancies on
the staff.

Preliminary trials are under way now
in the English classes, giving all fresh
in the English classes, giving all fresh-
men an opportunity to secure a place
in the final contest, which will be held
within two weeks. The Echo constitu-
tion provides places for twelve fresh-
men, six women and six men, to serve
as apprentices to the staff.

At a similar meeting on Monday
afternoon, four men were selected to
act as assistants to the business mana-
ger. They are: Robert Gillespie, William
Wood, Arthur Byrne, and J. N. Badgett.

FROSH DEBATE CLASSES BEGJN

The Social committee, composed of
four faculty members and six students,
met Wednesday evening, September 23,
and began formulation of plans, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
Don Hallam, chairman. There are un-
der discussion several projects which
should be of special interest to the
student body, as indicative of progress
in the social life of Maryville college.
At the request of Alpha Sigma, the
Social committee will sponser a series
of community sings to be held on the
campus on Saturday nights after the
society meetings. John Magill will have
charge of the sings. The first of these
affairs is to be held on Saturday even-
ing, October 10. The sings will continue
until cold weather prevents their be-
ing held outdoors. If, however, they
prove successful, they will be con-
tinued in the spring. In addition to
these weekly sings, there are tentative
plans for nightly group singing in
Pearsons lobby after supper from 6:30
to 7:00 o'clock.

One of the most interesting projects,
the committee has worked out is that
of having formal dinners once a month
on Saturday evenings, with some form
of entertainment following, if no other
entertainment is already provided. The
first of these will be on the evening
of October 3, with an As You Like It
after the society meetings, which will
be brief. It is the hope of the com-
mittee that the student body will sup-
port this plan.

Classes Elect

Council Members

Ashby, Pro Tem. President,
Directs Organization

More than thirty freshmen reported
to each of the debate classes held by
Professor Verton Queener on D and E
periods Monday. Assignments were
made and some instruction given in the
theory of debate.

The selection of a question and the
proper wording of the proposition will
be the first thing studied by the
freshman classes.

The elections for membership in the
student council, one of the most in-
fluential organizations on the hill, took
place Wednesday. The council was
>rganized in 1923 with the intent of
wringing a medium of communication
between the students and the faculty,
and because of its particular relation
to both, stands well to be one of the
most powerful organizations in the
college.

Members of the group are elected
from the members of the various
classes, the senior class electing eight,
the juniors six, sophomores four, and
the freshman class four.

The senior members of the council
for the year 1936-37, are Ralph Ashby,
president pro-tem, of Livingston, N.
J., and a varsity member of the High-
landers football team, Don Hallam,
Tom Bryan, Charles Luminati, Calista
Palmer, Helen Woodward, Kathryn
Quass, and Lillian Crawford.

The closest election was held in the
junior class with the three men
elected receiving 42 votes each, and
the next in line having 41 votes. Robert
Gillespie, Edward Gillingham, and
Bill Collins were elected. The women
elected in this class were Helen Ma-
guire, Ruth Haines, and Jean Cross.

The sophomore class elected as their
representatives Jean Brand, Eunice
Wilson, Ernie Enslin, and Wando
Colombo.

Freshmen elections for the council
will be held in about a week or ten
days.

AVON PALYERS TO RETURN

The Social committee will sponsor
the return of the Avon players to
Voorhees chapel on the evening of
October 14. Last spring the perfor-
mance of this group in Shakespeare's
"Othello" was well received here.

This year tttf players will interpret
"The Merchant of Venice."

Scheduling of Events

Public events of interest to all
students or to large groups of
Students such as concerts, plays,
athletic contests, recitals, debates,
and the like are to be arranged
for by a request for entry on the
College calendar which is kept
in Dr. Hunter's office.

Social events, parties, banquets,
picnics, and the like are to be
arranged by consultation with
Mrs. Snyder, who will consult
the general calendar of events
and, if the date requested is
open, will assign chaperones and
approve the place for the event.

Requests for all events must
be made and properly approved
at least five full days before the
event is to take place.

Theta Rush Week
Ends At Program
In Gym Tonight

Jewel Box Theme Carried

Through Programs

For New Girls

To close a week of social activities,
Theta Epsilon will have her formal
opening at the Alumni gymnasium at
8:00 o'clock this evening. Throughout
this week the new girls have been
entertained by Theta in her annual
rush week program, with the central
theme this year being a jewel box. On
Tuesday afternoon more than 120 girls
were the guests of the Theta Epsilon
society at an informal tea in the Y
rooms, "Le Bijou Costume Boutique."
At this tea were presented jewels from
the fashions. The jewel idea was con-
sistent throughout the entertainment.

On Thursday afternoon Theta's
jewel hunt in the college woods was
attended by the new girls who divided
into groups, each provided with a map
of the various "trails." The groups,
each in charge of an old Theta mem-
ber, followed different trails, but in
the end all gathered at the big picnic
grounds for a box of jewels, welcome
in the form of refreshments. The
group which arrived first at the ap-
pointed place will receive a prize to-
night at the opening progiam.

The jewel theme will be carried out

again tonight with the formal opening

of the jewel box in the tropical setting

of the gymnasium. A formal welcome

Josef Hofmann, approaching per-
fection as a pianist, Julius Huehn,
leading baritone at the Metropolitan
Opera, and Anna Kaskas, contralto and
first-place winner in the 1936 audi-
tions of the famed opera company,
comprise the list of Maryville's annual
Artist Series, Prof. George W. Howell,
in charge of the series, announced
today.

Hofman, a director of the Curtis
School of Music in Philadelphia, will
make a special trip south for his ap-
pearance here on February 24. He has
no other engagements in this section.

Huehn will be the first to appear,
with a contract signed for a concert on
Nov. 12. Miss Kaskas has signed to
appear on April 17.

Hofman a Child Prodigy

A piano prodigy, Hofman has been
giving concerts since he was a child.
He was born in Poland in 1876 and
came to this cpuntry for the first time
in 1887 for ft concert tour but was
compelled to abandon it by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. He returned to this country
a few years later. • i

Olin Downes, music critic of the
New York Times described Hofman's
mastery and power as lying "in his
power to recreate the wonder of a
masterpiece". "He does not do this",
Mr. Downes explains, "by some trick
or meretricious effect, but he comes
always nearer the innermost secret of
great music."

In addition to his genius for the
piano, Hofmann is also a well-known
composer, having written a symphony
and a number of orchestra suites.

Varsity Debate Class

Holds First Meeting

Thirty-two upperclassmen, including
five of last year's varsity debating team
and six former freshmen debaters, met
in the philosophy class room Tuesday
night to form a varsity debate class.
The class planned by Prof. Verton
Queener and the officers of Pi Kappa
Delta, Helen Maguire, Dick Schlafer.
and Virginia Pennington, will carry
two hours of credit.

The hours of the class, decided by
popular vote, are to be seven o'clock
on Tuesday evenings and the E period
on Wednesdays. On next Tuesday Don
Hallam will deliver an oration, and
Bill Alston, Mark Andrews, Marcella
Arden, Lois Black and Charles
Bondurant will discuss different phases
of industrial organization of labor. The
question to be discussed was chosen
by Maryville for the national debate
topic for this year. Speeches will be of
five to seven minutes' duration.

Two weeks from Tuesday the pro-
posed presidential campaign will be
held with the various debaters up-
holding their candidates, and will be
open to the public. The campaign will
probably be extended to take up two
Tuesday class periods.

According to Professor Queener, the
class will be organized like a literary
society with regular officers and will
be conducted according to regular
parlimentary proceedure.

Recognizing the increasing lack of
interest which has characterized the
society during the past year, the new
administration of Alpha Sigma is un-
dertaking a new and complete program
of activities for its members. Initiative
of several Alpha Sigma officers is re-
sponsible for the idea of the com-
munity sing to be held under the
sponsorship of the social committee on
October 10, with John Magill as leader.

Alpha Sigma plans this year to co-
operate with Theta Epsilon, Bainonian,
and Athenian in conducting inter-
society competition in orations, essays,
and athletics. A committee will soon
be formed for the selection of a play
to be given as Alpha Sigma's part in
the annual Midwinter series.

Besides president Don Hallam, and
John Magill, other men working on
various phases of the new program are:
Wilson Leathers, O. M. Teague, Charles
Luminati, Bill Alston, Howard Wick-
man, Bob Gillespie, Spen Spencer, Ted
Gillingham, Ed Lavender, Bruce Mor-
gan, and Ray Nelson.

An all -freshman program has been
planned for next Saturday's meeting,
followed by the get-together announc-
ed at the "watermelon sing" last week.
All new men are invited to attend.

Personnel Head Improves

Dr. John W. Cummings, Director of
Personnel, was removed on Monday
from the Ford hospital in Detroit,
where he has been under observation

a message received at the President's
office on Thursday.

Mrs. Cummings stated that "although
Dr. Cummings was quite fatigued by

THERE'S something about a football game that needs
a band to set it off; and there's something about a band
that puts that old spirit into both players and spectators.
Last night's opener was something to make every heart
tingle, and the band had no mean part in its success.

Let's support the band ! We need it here, more than we
need a great many things that we waste time whining
about. It's greatest necessity is for additional talent. Come
on, all you who whistle, or toot your horns, let's show the
real participating spirit ! The whole college is behind you.
What more could you want?

WE MARYVILLIANS are pitiably self centered.
There's something about our college life that makes us
forget there is an outside world. We become so narrow
that we know no wars except our own petty fueds; we
know no political campaigns except our own corruption ;
we know no great inventions save those which are useful
to us here ; and we know no love, except that for our
fellow students.

What about those few minutes a day it takes to ac-
quaint oneself with world affairs? From what can we
secure the impetus toward taking the trouble to become
good conversationalists? A man needs the self confidence
that comes from knowledge. Let him not confine himself
to trivialities, but let him learn of the world through its
daily trends.

ARTIST SERIES

To the freshman and new students at Maryville this
year, the news of the coming artist series possibly means
very little. Its importance, however, can scarcely be over-
estimated. It is more than a group of programs offered
for the amusement or diversion of the student body. The
series occupies a significant place in the curriculum of
every student here.

The cost, which is rather considerable to outsiders, has
been included in our college bills, with the idea that no
one may be prevented from hearing some of the great
figures in the musical world because of enforced economy
which might otherwise preclude all "extras."

A liberal arts college which turns out scholars and
scholars only has failed in its duty as an institution of
learning. The development of a rich cultural background
is probably more important to a happy life than any more
materialistic or formal type of instruction.

In realization of this fact, Maryville college long ago
instituted its artist series. It is only wise that we take full
advantage of it.

FELLOWSHIP CLUB

The most truly freshman men's
organization, the Fellowship club, held
its annual election of officers this week.
Befor this, officers of the Y. M. C. A.
have aided in the programs and in
organizing the group. Begining with
next week the freshmen will have com-
plete charge of their meetings.

The club is sponsored by the
Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of aiding
new men in getting acquainted with
each other and with the ideals of the
school.

Officers for the coming year are:
president, Thomas Schafer, vice presi-
dent, Richard Smith; secretary, William
Mooney; program secretaries, Glen
Young, and Earl Tweed.

CAROLINA CLUB

At an informal meeting of the
Carolina club it was decided to change
the time of meetings from the Wed-
nesday evenings of the first and third
weeks of each month to the second and
fourth weeks. With many new students
the club is expecting a very large mem-
bership.

All members are urged to be pre-
sent at the meeting on Wednesday
evening, September 30, at which time
officers for this semester will be elected.

M CLUB

The M club will hold its first meet-
ng on October 5. Officers will then
be elected to fill certain vacancies,
and plans will be made for a project
for the year. Last year the club pur-
chased uniforms for junior and senior
point system teams.

FRENCH CLUB

At a meeting of officers of the French
club on Tuesday evening a revision of
membership requirements was dis-
cussed, and also a plan making the ad-
vantages of the club available to new
students and others wishing to be-
come members. It was decided to limit
the membership to thirty students.

All meetings are to be conducted in
French, and it is hoped that the speak-
ing of English in the club will soon be-
come foreign. Studies of the various
interesting sections of France and also
the French-speaking districts in our
country and Canada, will be on the
evening of Wednesday, October 7, at
which time plans for the annual fall
picnic will be completed.

GREAT WESTERN CLUB

The Great Western club will hold
its first meeting of the year this com-
ing week. Election of officers will be
held and the plans for the year will
be made public at that time.

cana." She was born in Bridgeport,
Connecticut but moved to Hartford at
the age of 15, at which time she entered
the Hartford conservatory.

After two years of study in Hart-
ford, Miss Kaskas journeyed to
Lithuania for further study. She made
her debut at the Lithuanian Govern-
ment Opera House, then went to Italy
on a scholarship for more extended
experience.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Highlander football is definitely on the upswing !

Inaugurating the 1936 home season under the arcs of
Wilson field last night, Coach Lombe Scott Honaker's
fighting Scotties overwhelmed a game but outclassed
eleven from Hiwassee.

It would be impossible to list all the instances of flashy
intelligent playing that were displayed last night. Suffi-
ce it to say that every Scot gridder that entered the
Hiwassee tussle showed a brand of football that is a joy
to the heart of every grid fan.

OVERLY CRAWFORD

And so we come to the naming of those that seemed to
shine a bit. It seems to us, in view of the score — and who

made it — that Captain Corky Craw-

ford and Jack Overly merit more thantt20_odd men JJ played againgt £
a little mention for their fine •»*. fcottki WOUM Wthw h«V« bMtt OMrW

Two touchdowns apiece, countless runs '
in every quarter, and fine spirit

throughout the game. We present —
Corky and Jack!

Faults? .

Of course there were the inevitable
slips, fumbles, and early-season mis-
haps that marred the playing of the
Highlanders last night. These mistakes
are always a part of the first games
of the season. The manner in which the
Scots pulled themselves out of every
hole showed a spirit and generalship
uncommon in early-season tilts.

Gooder'ns

Somehow we simply can't go on
without spending some time discussing
the merits of those Highlander aces.
There was "Mayor" Cochrane in the
line. Hiwassee might as well have
bucked against a corner of Thaw as
this 200 lb. bulwark. And when he
tackled — he smeared. Add to this the
booming punts that rose from "Junior"
O'Dell's toe, the brilliant end play of
Bruce Alexander, and the scintillating
running of the Scots' supposedly weak
backfield and you have an idea of the
kind of organization that Hiwassee
faced last night.

Game Boys

And the Lions of Hiwassee turned
out to have the kind of calibre that
bespeaks champions. Any one of those

off the field than walk off. A few of
them proved that. Obviously missing
the support of Captain Joiner, who
didn't even make the trip, the Youell-
men put up a stubborn resistance from
the opening whistle to the last line-up.
The injury jinx has depleted the Lion's
forces, but it hasn't hurt their spirit
in the least.

Apologie

The editor of this section wishes to
apologize hereby for the 20 pound in-
justice done to "Blondie" Kindred in
list week's Squad Roster. Due to an
error, Blondie was listed as a 150 pound
gridder, and has been hearing about
it ever since. So have we.

However, since it's all in print, the
best we can do is to congratulate Kin-
dred on his 20 pound gain this past
week. It wont happen again.

O

SHOE SCRAMBLE

The annual frosh footwear race was
run last night between the halves of
the Hiwassee tussle.

Contrary to previous procedure, the
feminine element threw their escort's
shoes into the jackpot, and the usual
melee ensued. Dave Brittain, guiding
light of the event, termed It a huge
success. Who succeeded is uncertain.

Gridders Face Tusculum

Next Friday, October 2, the Scots
face their third foe in the form of
Tusculum college, at Greenville, Ten-
nessee.

Comparatively little is known of the
strength of the Pioneer aggregation,
but advance reports indicate a heavier
line and a light but fast and shifty
backfield. This, coupled with the de-
termination of the Pioneers to avenge
last year's loss, should make the game
one of the season's most interesting
encounters.

The Highlanders, riding on a crest
of the victory over Hiwassee, are out
to repeat last year's 24-0 victory over
Tusculum.

With five old men as a nucleus the
Maryville cross country team, led by
Roy Talmage. approaches the 1936 sea-
son with promise of a good year.

The squad which has been limbering
up for the past week returns Baird,
Rugh, Mears, Orr, and Talmage from
last year. Newcomers are Baird,
Chandler, Savitsky, Wood, Lorenz,
Short, Reede, Fisher, and Mooney, the

I last five of which are freshmen.

The schedule which is incomplete,
calls for two meets with Tennessee,

'one here on October 30 and a return
engagement at Knoxville on November
7. These dates are Homecoming days
for the two Schools. Another meet
will be held here with Lincoln
Memorial, with the time as yet un-
decided. One of the features of the
season will be the Y. M. C. A. Cross
Country run to determine the school
champion. It will be held on November
13, with the finish to come between
halves of the Maryville-King foot-
ball game. The successor to the title
vacated by Stuart Snedeker's gradu-
ation will be known after this race.
The individual strength of the team

i will not be known until time trials are
held next month.

Propst

One of the unhappiest men in the
world last night was Guy Propst, whose
injured side kept him out of the Hi-
wassee melee. Guy received a knee in
the side during the Kentucky game,
and has been in the hospital list ever
since. He's hoping now to be in shape
to join the Highlanders-Pioneer tussle
at Tusculum. We wish him the best of
luck.

Flashing a brand of football reminis-
cent of former great Scot elevens,
Coach Lombe Scott Honaker's High-
landers smashed to a 27-0 shutout
over a stubborn Lion eleven from Hi-
wassee on Wilson field last night.

Captain Lynn Crawford and Jack
Overly split scoring honors for the
evening, each man going over the dou-
ble stripes for two counters. Overly
added three extra points in four at-
tempts at goal kick.

Uncertain of a method of attack
throughout the opening lineups, the
Highlanders quickly recovered, and
under the signal-calling generalship of
Jack Overly, started the first of their
marches toward the goal.

Overly Scores First

The first score came late in the first
quarter, when Cochrane threw a pass
from the 40-yard stripe to Odell, who
lateralled to Overly. Jack took the
ball on a wide side-skirting run, and
crossed the goal line standing up.
Overly kicked the extra point to leave
the score at 7-0.

The second quarter was a series of
penalties called on the Highlander
eleven, and both teams were unable to
get within scoring distance.
Change Style

At the opening of the second half,
Maryville resorted to a plain line-
bucking style of play that completely
overwhelmed the injury-wteakened
Lion line. Baird, Overly, and Captain
Crawford did most of the ball-carry-
ing in the opening plays

The second score came as a result
of a line- bucking drive down the field.
The Lions held desperately on the
one- yard line, but the Highlanders
were not to be denied, and Overly
went through the line on the fourth
down for his second touchdown of the
evening. Jack then added the extra
point for kick, raising the tally to 14-0.

Baird, Crawford, and Overly then
started another line-smashing drive
down the field, and after several
changes of hands, the ball fell to Corky
Crawford, who went through the line
and over for the third tally. Overly
tried for point but failed. The score at
this point stood at 20-0.

Crawford Adds Final

During the last period, the High-
landers were in possession of the ball
for the majority of the time, but be-

that most blind dates turn out to be

Then there's the Northern freshman

Maryville is well represented at
Vanderbilt university this year. George
Greiner and Joe Andrews, both mem-
bers of last year's graduating class, are
enrolled in the medical school, while
Ed Scott, Highlander tennis star of
last year, holds a teaching fellowship
there.

O

We are glad to see Catharine Pond
and Clara Balcom out again. Both
have been confined to the college in-
firmary for several days.

The absence of Dr. McMurray this
past week on account of illness is sin-
cerely regretted by the student body.

cause of penalties, were not able to
cenvert a drive into a score for quite
a while. Following a blocked Hiwassee
kick which Maryville recovered, Over-
ly and Crawford again advanced the
ball and Captain Crawford took it
through the line for, the fourth and
final touchdown. Overly kicked his
third successful goal to raise the score
to 27-0.

During the remainder of the final
period, the ball was jockeyed between
the two elevens, with neither being
in a position to score.

Credit for outstanding play goes to
Baird, Captain Crawford, and Overly
in the backfield, and Alexander and
Cochrane in the line. Sanderson was
outstanding in the Hiwassee backfield,
with Youell and Holliday holding up
the Lion line in fine style.

Coach Honaker, chief coach of the
victorious Highlanders, expressed him-
self as "entirely satisfied with the
showing the boys made."

included are early programs from the
contemporary societies, early diplomas,
and blocks of wood taken from the
Union academy, the predecessor of
Maryville college.

An important part of the museum is
the collection from the Phillipines,
featuring intricately woven and de-
signed fans, slippers, trays, vases, and
baskets constructed from various types
of grasses, door mats made of cocoanut
husks, and hats made of hemp, bambo,
and — a tip to the girls — squash.

And then there are — but only a visit

Social Committee Plans

(Continued from page one)
Social committee which the com-
mittee deems wise to submit to the
student body for approval, and that
is the matter of paper napkins for the
dining-hall. Mr. Black, the college
business manager, has offered to pur-
chase wholesale paper napkins to be
bought by the individcal tables at a
greatly reduced price. At many of the
tables already the students take turn
about buving paper napkins, and it
is felt that the wholesale purchasing
i will be a great saving. However, no one
need feel forced to participate in this
plan.

Great enthusiasm has been shown by
the students for improved social
activities, and with cooperation it is
believed that the proposed program
will be successful.

O

Professor Queener liked the choir's
music in chapel one morning this
week. He's going to use his DEBATE
TEAM when HE leads chapel.

All we need now, is a vote to use the
yell leaders on Coach Honaker's
chapel interlude.

Free Clinic Service

ECHOES OE THE PAST

November 4, 1915

The first issue of the Highland Echo
on November 4, 1915, listed in its mast-
head the names of J. Charles Walker,
editor, and Pat Quinn, business mana-
ger. An editorial entitled "The New
Weekly," excerpts of which follow, set
forth the needs for and purposes of a
weekly paper on the campus.

"During the past ten years Maryville
college has been growing by- leaps and
bounds The increase of enrolment

is accompained by a marked advance
of college spirit

"The need of a weekly paper, in
which this college spirit could be ex-
pressed has been felt for some time . . .
For this reason, the editorial staff of
the College Monthly has decided to
offer to the student body a weekly
publication.

"The name of the weekly is the
HIGHLAND ECHO, and may all the
news of Maryville college find an
echo in it."

Friday, September 24, 1926

In a calendar of college events Mon-
day, September 27, 1926, is designated
as the "weekly holiday." with moon-
shining from 1:00 to 3:00.

Tuesday, October 3, 1916

"The sudden death of Miss Margaret
. Henry took place in Knoxville, Ten-
nessee, on July 7, 1916."
(Editor's note: Miss Margaret Henry
held a position which is at present de-
signated as Director of Student-Help-
and was one of Maryville's pioneer
spirits in the establishment of its stu-
dent-help program.)

WRITERS' WORKSHOP

The first meeting of Writers' Work-
shop, to which members are elected on
the basis of their literary ability, was
held on Monday afternoon at the home
of Miss Keller on Bryan lane. Eighteen
members were present at the meeting,
at which Miss Keller served refresh-
ments.

George Kent, elected chairman of the
governing board of the Workshop at
the farewell picnic last year, presided.
Other members of the governing board
elected at that time were: Miss John-
son, Daphne Harris, and Shirley Jack-
son. The feature of the meeting was a
"down-east" original short story read
by Miss Jackson, teacher of freshman
English. The story was very well re-
ceived and was made especially charm-
ing by Miss Jackson's natural New
England accent. The title of her piece
was "Shore Duty."

The business consisted of the election
of the membership committee which is
to submit five names of juniors and
seniors at the meeting next week. The
new membership committee consists of:
Dr. Hunter, Miss Heron, Bernice
Gaines, and Don Stevens. It was de-
cided to continue holding the meetings
at four o'clock on Monday afternoons.

Merchant of Venice
To Be Presented
Here Wednesday

Avon Players Presentation

Under Auspices of

Social Committee

The Avon Players, well-known New
York Shakespearean company will pre-
sent The Merchant of Venice in
Voorhees Chapel on Wednesday,
October 14, at 8:00 P. M. according
to a statement issued by the social
committee today.

The troupe is directed by the veteran
Jack Selman who is widely known on
many of the outstanding campuses of
the country as well as in the theatres
of his native New York City for his
distinguished portrayal of Shakes-
pearean roles.

The Avon Players, now on their
seventh tour of the South, are all ac-
complished thespians, many with radio,
stock company, or Broadway successes
behind them. They use a minimum of
scenery and stage furniture, and de-
pend almost entirely on dramatic skill
and the power of Shakespeare's dia-
logue to carry the interest. Their per-
formance moves swiftly and their
speech is clear and forceful.

The company's outstanding inter-
pretation of Othello here last year re-
commends them well to • Maryville
college.

The admission price will be thirty-
five cents for students and faculty and
fifty cents for all others. Tickets will
be on sale in the philosophy classroom
after breakfast and after chapel on
Wednesday morning, and after the
doors open at 7:15 on Wednesday
night.

Varsity Class Discusses
Current Questions

Pi Kappa Delta has selected for its
national debate topic this year Re-
solved: That Congress should be em-
powered to fix minimum wages and
maximum hours for industry."

of the program on last Tuesday even-
ing. Mark Andrews acted as chairman
and Lois Black as secretary of the

Band Uniforms
Arriving In Time
For Homecoming

Dr. Lloyd Grants Order

Securing Garnet Coats

White Trousers

Thirty-six uniforms for the Maryville
college band will be ordered the early
part of next ' week announced Miss
Davies of the Fine Arts department
this morning. This decision was reach-
ed last night after a conference with
President Ralph Waldo Lloyd.

The uniforms will consist of garnet
coats made of wool gaberdine, military
caps of the same color, wide black
leather belts and white trousers. The
band members have not decided
whether they will wear black or
white shoes. The drum major will wear
t tall military cap, but otherwise will
be dressed like the rest of the band.

A uniform will also be ordered for
Reba Blazer, band sponsor.

Meausurements for these uniforms
will be tiken in the basement of
Vorhees chapel Monday evening at
seven o'clock, and the order wlil be
sent off early Tuesday morning. The
uniforms will be received in about
ten days and will be worn at the home-
coming game for the first time.

Thirty-five members of the Maryville
college band are learning new pieces
under the direction of Mi«. Ralph
Colbert. The pieces include "The Stars
and Stripes Forever", "Washington
Post" by John Philip Sousa, and "Un-
der the Double Eagle."

Besides the thirty-five practicing
these pieces the membership of the
band included the drum major, sponsor,
and three additional musicians who
are waiting for instruments.

After the pep meeting last Thurs-
day night the band practiced drilling.

Maryville Graduate
Assistant at U.T.

Distinctive Annual
Planned By New
'Yearbook Staff

Advance Subscription Sale

Indicates Confidence

Of Student Body

Robert Lowry Brown, a Maryville
alumnus who graduated in 1935, has
recently been appointed instructor in
freshman chemistry at the University
of Tennessee. Mr. Brown is the son
of Mr. Ernest C. Brown, campus en-
gineer, who is better known on the
hill as "Brownie".

An outstanding student, Robert
Brown graduated from Maryville cum
laude. During the year 1935-36 he was
a fellow in the chemistry department
at the University of Tennessee. This
fall he practically completed his work
for his M. S. degree. Feeling that the
field of chemistry holds almost limitless
possibilities, Mr. Brown plans to con-
tinue advanced work in that science
at some other institution.

Mr. Brown one of the many
Maryville graduates who have attained
distinction in their chosen fields of
work. But the fact that he is the son
of such a well-known and well-liked
campus figure as "Brownie" heightens
our interest in his commendable pro-
gress.

George Debele, also a graduate of!
'35 is taking up the same kind of work,
and plans to pursue further study.
O

President Lloyd anounced today that
he has received word from Mrs. Cum-
mings this week, but that there is little
or no change in Dr. Cummlngs* condi-
tion.

Rapid progress is being made in
completing general plans for the 1937
Chilhowean. This year's annual will
have many new features to offer, and
under the guidance of Simpson Spen-
cer, Editor, and John Mclntyre, Busi-
ness Manager, the staff have been
working steadily gathering data,
soliciting subscriptions, and preparing
the various features.

Allin, "Hypo", Stephens is photo-
grapher for all informal work. Stephens
is experienced in this kind of work,
and some new and unusual informal
photography will be presented this
year. Formal photography will be
handled by "Daddy" Webb as in other
years. All those who expect to have
their pictures in the annual this year
are urged to have them made as soon
as possible.

Several additions have been made to
the staff recently. Don Stevens and
Fred Bingham have been added to
the Business Staff, and Marion Lodwick
has joined the Editorial Staff. All
three are competent and will greatly
add to the efficiency of the staff.

John T. Benson, representing the
publishers of the yearbook, spent all
day Thursday on the campus confer-
ring with the Editor and Business
Manager. Mr. Benson remarked that,
to judge from the initial layout, this
year's Chilhowean will be the finest
yet put out by Maryville college.

On October 15, the present sub-
scription price of $2.25 will be raised.
Students who wish to take advantage
of the current low rate must make a
$1.00 deposit before that time. The
Senior section will close on November
1 and the Junior section opens October
28 and closes Thanksgiving. Advance
subscription sales, together with] the
enthusiasm of the staff and the pub-
lisher for the plans, indicate a very
successful yearbook.

Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Reagan on Indiana
Avenue. President Ralph W. Lloyd
officiated.

Simplicity was the keynote of the
whole occasion. The bride wore a
brown costume with harmonizing ac-
cessories and a shoulder corsage of
Talisman roses. In the presence of a
number of relatives and friends, the
ceremony was performed before an
altar banked with ferns, wild asters and
goldenrod, and was lighted by tall
white tapers.

The couple approached the altar
through a line formed by ribbons held
by Misses Marie Gurney, Marion
Lodwick, Helen Maguire, Louise Orr,
and Alma Whiffen, who are Mrs.
Brown's assistants in the biology
department at Maryville college.

Miss Grace Gamble played the
wedding music and acted as accom-
panist for Mr John Magill, who sang
"Still As The Night" by Bohm, and
"Thou Art My Peace", by Schubert.

Each guest was presented with a
package of wedding cake after the
ceremony.

Mrs. Brown received her B. A. degree
from Maryville college and her M. A.
degree from the University of Ten-
nessee. She is now an associate pro-
fessor of biology at Maryville college.

Mr. Brown is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Emmett Brown of Binfield, Ten-
nessee. He received his B. A. degree
from Maryville college and is a gradu-
ate of the Presbyterian Theological
Seminary, Chicago. He is now in thp
ministry, acting as a supply pastor in
Union Presbytery.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown will be at home
at 234 Indiana Avenue. Maryville.

POLITICAL PRtVILW

By RAY NELSON

(Echo Political Commentator)

A straw vote among the students of
the college indicates that the final
tabulation, which is to be taken in the
chapel on October 27, will be very
close. In the preliminary poll, a total
of 114 votes was taken among both
men and women, the results giving
President Roosevelt 59 and Governor
Landon 35 votes. The girls favored the
governor by a slight margin, giving
him a 31 to 26 edge over the president.
The boys indicated Roosevelt as their
choice by a 33 to 24 vote. It is interest-
ing to speculate on the results of the
chapel election with this preliminary
poll as a guide. The final vote, spon-
sored by Alpha Sigma Society, will be
taken under the direction of th)e
faculty. Special ballo' I will be printed
for the occasion.

In taking the straw vote, students
were asked not only their presidential
preference, but also their reason for
voting in that manner. Many of the
answers were interesting and some
actually surprising. No one will deny
that college students represent the
higher strata of the nation's intelli-
gence, but even in view of this fact,
many of the replies express anything
but judicious reasoning. This election
is probably one of the most important
in a long time, and the indifference of
college students who have little or no
understanding of the important issues
involved is worthy of comment.

Those favoring the Republican can-
didate base their selection principally
on their objection to the New Deal
spending. They seemed to be of the
opinion that the Republicans would
curtail much of this expenditure and
make a more determined effort to
balance the budget. Fear of greatly in-
creased taxation motivated many with
Republican views. Second to this ob-
jection was the protest against the un-

wise experimentation in the Demo-
cratic program.

The Democrats supported their can-
didate on the basis of the nation's
rapid return to better times. A large
number based their stand on the presi-
dent's attempts to legislate in favor
of the laboring class as opposed to big
business. The new banking laws are
looked upon as a real achievement, and
among the southern students thp TVA
was exceedingly popular. There are
also a number who approve the efforts
of the defunct NRA.

Many students favored either the
Republicans or the Democrats merely
because their "parents had voted that
way." This group constituted a rather
large portion of these in the poll and
needless to say, manifested very little
knowledge of the real issues involved
in the campaign. Anything so impor-
tant as the selection of the chief exe-
cutive of a nation is a matter of utmost
concern, and to find college students
not sufficiently interestel to examine
the platform and records of the parties
and to learn to think for themselves,
indicates a serious condition. Blind
following of tradition has too frequent-
ly made it possible for inefficiency and
dishonesty to shape the political and
social downfall of a nation.

Professor Queener's speech class is
devoting two evening sessions to a dis-
cussion of the election. These will be
hjeld on October 13 and 20 at seven p.
m. in the Philosophy classroom. The
speakers, elected by the various politi-
cal factions in the speech class, will
present seven minute discut._ions. On
October 13 Curtmarie Brown and
Walter West will speak for the Demo-
crats; for the Republicans, Ernest
Crawford and Leland Waggoner, and
for the Socialists. Fred Jewett. On
October 20. Lois Black and William
McGill will maintain the Republican
standard, Virginia Pennington and Ray

SCOTS' GOAL LINE UNTOUCHED BY SMC FOES

By ARTHUR BYRNE

(Echo Sports Writer)

Romping to a three touchdown win over their second
Conference foe on Wilson field last night, our Maryville
Highlanders uncovered a new backfield star who seems
destined to go places, in a big way, on the gridiron.

Starting his first game for Maryville, Don Parker,
junior transfer from Mars Hill, N. C, played a leading
role in the Scotties' 19-0 triumph over Cullowhee. Spin-
ning and twisting through, over, and around opposing
tacklers, the 150 pound halfback piled up more yardage
than all the Catamounts combined.

The whole team of Honakermen played perhaps their
best game of the year. With veterans and newcomers

Amplifying Booth
Heads New Work

E. C. Brown, college engineer, an-
nounces that work is progressing
rapidly on the storm sewers across the
east side of the campus. These sewers
will drain the low place between
Fayerweather and Wilson Field, as well
as the basement of the science build-
ing. The miniature lake that used to
gather during heavy rains in the field
will be eliminated. This low place was
caused by the excavations there to
obtain clay for the making of brick
during the building of Bartlett hall,
many years ago.

As many people noticed at the foot-
ball game last night, a booth has been
built over the central entrance to the
stands on the west side of the field.
From this booth will be amplified de-
tails of the home football games if the
Athletic Board of Control decides last
.light's broadcast was well enough re-
ceived. This booth was completed Fri-
day by a crew working under Walter
Morton, and is as nearly sound proof
as possible.

Unfortunate delay has caused the
postponement from week to week of
the erection of the new gateways at
the north and south enrances of he
campus. They will be up, however,
within the next few weeks as all pre-
parations have been made for the
work.

The boilers and fire-boxes in the
college power plant have been given
their annual overhauling and both
boilers will be in shape for use by the
time colder weather sets in.

kick-off and, after one play, punted to

Writers Workshop
Elects Members

Selection of Six Completes
Membership Quota

Elected from the list of nominations
selected by the membership committee,
composed of Dr. Hunter, Miss Heron,
Bernice Gaines, and Don Stevens, six
students became members of Writers'
Workshop on September 28. The
neophytes in the organization, whose
membership is elected on the basis of
literary proficiency, are: Carolyn
Harrar, Gloria Miller, Ruth Proffitt,
Reese Scull, John Stafford, and Walter
West. The resignation of Robert Gilles-
pie, elected to the society last year, was
accepted. The organization now has
twenty-three members, two short of
the quota.

At the meeting Miss Johnhson read a
piece entitled, "The Sixth Sense";
George Kent, chairman of the govern-
ing board of the Workshop, read an
original article on Father Divine en-
titled 'Isn't It Wonderful!". At the
meeting on October 5, two short stories
were read by their authors: "Come Ye
—Buy!" by Edith Pierce and "East
Vernon" by Simpson Spencer.

BUSINESS MANAGER

RESTATES AD POLICY

The following statement is
made by Charles Luminati, busi-
ness manager of The Highland
Echo, in answer to recent in-
quiries concerning the advertis-
ing policy of this publication. Mr.
Luminati says:

"It has been the policy of The
Highland Echo for some twenty-
live years not to accept any ad-
vertising contracts from Knox-
ville retail firms selling goods in
competition with similiar estab-
lishments in Maryville. This does
not apply to Knoxville whole-
salers or companies supplying
goods not purchasable in Mary-
ville.

"The Echo has striven in the
past to cooperate with Maryville
business houses, and it will con-
tinue this policy in the future.
And in return, it is expected that
the Maryville merchants will co-
operate with the Echo."

WE'RE MODEST, we hope. But we can interpret the
lack of criticism this year as at least indication of some
approval of our enlarged paper. We've found that even
though people may be too busy to find time to laud, they
can always magnify our faults to us. Up to the present,
however, we have no fault to find with the cordial re-
ception we've received.

Anyone who knows anything at all about finance must
realize that such a publication as ours must have adver-
tisers. We're asking the student body to help us in secur-
ing their support. Will you patronize our advertisers,
and will you "say you saw it in the Echo." We'll do our
share in trying to put out the very best paper possible.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT about Maryville? Why is it so
easy to distinguish a freshman from his upperclassmen?
Ask these questions, and you have brought into focus that
old "Maryville spirit" again. Hackneyed as those words
are, still they have a meaning. ■ "*•*•*»*■ •-»»w »»^

A high percentage of Maryville graduates finds it
possible to continue education through fellowships, or
scholarships offered by universities who value the Mary-
ville ideal and what it produces in men and women. It's
a recommendation to come from Maryville.
• And in the business world, where hard boiled, hard
headed plutocrats tread on the toes of others, the steadier,
firmer characteristics of a man who has had wholesome
contacts raise him to the top. Industries and corporations
estimate a Maryville man with predisposed approval.

The freshman who pushes others from his way as he
seeks a first place soon finds himself bewildered by the
lack of competition. We're not all out to beat the other
fellow; we're for cooperation, and friendships. That's
what's different about Maryville.

ECHOES OF THE PAST

October 10, 1916

FIRST STATE CLUB ORGANIZED

"Following a very enthusiastic meet-
ing, the New York club was brought
into being. New York has paved the
way — whp is next? Get your state
crowd together."

GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM HAS
WORK OUT

"The schedule for the year will not
be completed for some time, but Miss
Burchfield hopes to arrange for a long
Southern trip which will include some
of the best girls' teams in the South."

AD FOR MARYVILLE COLLEGE

"Tuition is $6 a term. Room rent, $18
to $35 a year. Board, $1.95 a week."

"GIVE US A CHANCE"

"The college swimming pool has
not been opened to the students,
although) one month of the school year
has passed and the cold weather is ap-
proaching with no promise as to when
it will be opened.

"Those who took advantage of the
pool last year during the winter months
would certainly know how to appreci-
ate a swim while nature furnished the
supply of heat and warm water."

October 8, 1926

"COSSACK CHORUSINGS HERE
MONDAY NIGHT."

"This first lyceum number, the
Russian Cossack chorus, will be heard
on Monday night."

"Beat Tusculum, then on to U. T.
That is the cry which is going around
the Hill, heard in every nook and
corner."

HIGHLAND FLINGS

"Those who doubt women's courage
should make note of some of the men
that Maryville college girls moonshine
with."

DIRECTORS MEETING

(Continued from page one)
Esq., of Knoxville. Clyde T. Murray,
Esq., and John Henry Webb, Esq., of
Maryville and President Ralph W.
Lloyd ex officio.

President Lloyd reported a very
successful past year and an auspicious
opening of the present year. Last Year's
enrolment was the highest in the his-
tory of the College. Although the insti-
tution seeks to limit the number at-
tending to 800 there were 889 repre-
senting 38 States and countries.

Definite advances in the scholarship
program included establishment of the
Dept. of Fine Arts, the further estab-
lishment of the Honors Work plan, and
continuance of this honor scholarship
teociety, and the announcement of the
inauguration of comprehensive exami-
nations for all undergraduates.

Maryville college now charges one
inclusive fee in place of the various
tuition, laboratory incidental, and other
fees. President Lloyd reports that 522
students were paid $30,767 by the Col-
lege for services rendered and 288 stu-
dents were paid $13,366 from the NYA
funds administered by the College.

Four hundred ninety-nine students
received loans totaling $49,754 of which
a large part was repaid before the end
of the college year.

The student-help program is one of
the oldest and one of the best organized
in the United States. This phase of the
work is under the supervision of Miss
Henry.

Some freshmen arrived at college
equipped with practically everything
they could possible wish, including
electric alarm clocks, and a. few of them

Knapp Gives Up
Book Store Post

Dr. George Alan Knapp, Professor
of Mathematics, has been relieved of
his duties as supervisor of the college
book store and post office at his own
request. He is being succeeded by Dr.
J. Kelly Giffen.

Doctor Knapp, affectionately known
to students as "Daddy" Knapp, suc-
ceeded Doctor Bassett as head of the
book store nearly 15 years ago, and
has held the position since that time.
For the last three or four years he
has been seeking an opportunity to
be relieved of his duties there, and
this year, with the coming of an ex-
perienced man in the person of Dr.
Giffen, the college authorities complied
with Dr. Knapp's request.

Doctor Knapp came to Maryville in
1914 as a member of the faculty. Prior
to accepting his position at Maryville,
he had taught at Olivet college, in
Michigan. Doctor Knapp was graduated
from Hamilton college in New York,
being there a member of Phi Beta
Kappa. During the past summer, Doc-
tor Knapp was the guest of the Mary-
ville College club of Southern Califor-
nia, as reviewed in a preceding issue
of the Echo.

The book store is now in charge of
Dr. J. Kelly Giffen, for 17 years presi-
dent of Knoxville college. Dr. Giffen
has had a wide experience, both as an
educator and a business man, and is a
capable man for the position.

Student Council Plan
Tentative Program

Freshman representatives to the
Maryville College Student Council will
be elected in the Chapel at a meeting
of the class on Wednesday morning,
immediately after the chapel service.
The class will choose two men and
two women representatives to serve
with thje members from the other
classes on the council.

No plans are definite as yet, but
some of the committees are already
functioning. The Social Committee has
been at work since the first of school
and the Lawn Party of last Saturday
night is the result of some of their
planning. The series of community
sings is another feature worked out
by the Social Committee which; will
-oon be tried.

The appearance of the Avon Players,
next Wednesday, is under the sponsor-
ing of the Social Commitee and it is
hoped that enough interest will be
shown to finance a more extensive
social program than was had last year.

As soon as the freshman representa-
tives are chosen President Ralph' Ashby
will divide the council into the sub-
committees and the council will be
completely organized.

The work of the council should not
be taken too lightly. This year, with
the new spirit invading the school, the
council looks forward to its best year
and hopes to accomplish much for the
Maryville college student body.

While waiting for Josef Hofmann, ye
Critick is forced to beguile the tedious
hours by browsing in the library,
where the other day he found that of
eight featured photoplays advertized
in the New York Times, six were from
novels, incidents in history, and plays
from the legitimate stage. Hollywood
would seem to be going literary in a
big way.

Detective story fans will be interested
to read about that most baffling
mystery in all criminological literature,
the John Riddell Murder Case by Corey
Ford. Unique in that there was no
crime committed, this delightful satire
parodizes S. S. Van Dine, Sherwood
Anderson, Richard Halliburton, Theo-
dore Dreiser, and a score more of the
most characteristically dissimilar writ-
ers ever made fun of in the same
volume. Fittingly enough, it is illustrat-
ed by Covarrubias, whose sprightly
cartoons used to decorate the covers of
Vanity Fair before it degenerated into
Vogue's partner in crime.

Apropos of which we mention
Collected Parodies by Louis Unter-
meyer, also in the library, in which
everybody suffers, from Shakespeare
to Eddie Guest. Franklin P. Adams
(F. P. A. to Herald-Tribune readers),
for instance, thinks that the Integer
Vitae of Horace should start out more
like this:
Fuscus, old top, an honest plug
Fears no police-courts shameful
durance,
The guy who's square— his virture is
His life insurance.

Those who deplore the disappearance
of satire from the world of letters are
urged to read Stephen Leacock's
Afternoons in Utopia, especially that
penetrating study of contemporary
trends in higher education called "Rah!
Rah! College, or Tom Buncom at
Shucksford."

If you like to read, and if you liked
Anthony Adverse, you'll like Gone
With the Wind.

Professor J H McMurray, of the
social science department, was a per-
sonal friend of the famous Wright
brothers, Orville and Wilbur. The pro-
fessor recalls how he made fun of the
Wrights when they were experiment
ing with flying machines; on one
occasion he declined an invitation to go
gliding with them. He has since altered
his opinion that the Wright brothers
were wasting their time. It is interest-
ing to note that after the brothers had
made their successful flight, Wilbur
Wright told Professor McMurray that
the airplane would never become
practical.

Fine Arts Dept.
Offers New Major

The Department of Fine Arts an-
nounces that for the first time in
the history of the college it will be
possible for students to major in dra-
matic art, receiving a B. A. degree.
Probably no one will be able to qualify
for this degree until 1939. Some of the
work offered under dramatic art has
already been offered through the Ex-
pression department, but this work
gave very little credit and no degree.

Under the new arrangement the De-
partment of Dramatic Arts will offer
two definite kinds of work. There will
be individual lessons in voice, in-
terpretation, speaking and reading.
Students taking this work will receive
no college credit. The dramatic art
classes which are listed in the cata-
logue will offer regular college credit.
The department will also supervise the
college plays.

Mrs. Nita Eckles West, fomerly
teaching in the Expression department
and not on the regular college
faculty, has been advanced to asso-
ciate professor. Mrs. West has been at
Maryville for thirty-three years, and
holds degrees of Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Oratory. Mrs West spent
last summer studying at Duke univer-
sity.

Miss Holland, who also holds de-
grees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor
of Oratory has been advanced to an
instructorship in the regular college.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO OCTOBER 10, 1936

A grinning new moon peered above the last clouds
over Wilson field last night, and smiled as he surveyed
the battle-torn turf. For there was discovered on Wilson
last night a new grid warrior; one who seems certain to
carry the banner of the Scotties to a new height. We
speak, in a word, of Don Parker, that hip-swinging, man-
dodging gridman who led the way to Maryville's scoring
punches last night.

Held out for the past part of the season while he learned
signals and such, the meteoric rise of this new footballer

seems to throw a new light on Con-„

ference predictions for the present
season. Suffice it to say that we'll surely
see a lot more of that boy in future
grid tilts.

Honor Roll

It wouldn't be fair, however, to pass
on without mentioning some of the
more brilliant playing members of last
night's victorious squad. We were
pleased to see that Bruce Alexander
was in there playing his own brilliant
end game. Hampered with the injury
jinx last season, Bruce has whipped the
hospital list, and is showing up in the
fine style that he started.

Then there were Overly and Captain
Crawford, who, as usual, held up the
backfield duties with all the precision
of veteran grid warriors. And in the
line, Jim Cachrane (whom I promised
not to call "Mayor") was one of the
outstanding bulwarks. We could go on,
down to the last man. Every Scot that
left the bench was playing an excel-
lent game.

Simon Pure

Then there's the fact that, in Con-
ference competition, that goal line of
the Scots has remained simon pure,

HOWLS HORSES,
HULLABALOO

untouched. That big zero for opposi-
tion's score looks mighty good to your
scribe. Something tells us it'll stay
that way for a while. Trying to score
on the Scots this year has been about
as useless to Conference teams as it
is useless to try growing grass in front
of the chapel.

The Ghost Walks

While rummaging through the waste
can the other day, in search of material
to assail Yorick, we came upon an
unopened letter from — guess who? —
Senator Hegner, of student council
razzing fame. The letter had been
placed there by mistake, mebbe, so we
opened said epistle, the ed-in-chief
being absent, and noted the contents.
Said the ex-Senator, in part— "When
are Yorick and On the Bench going
to get down to a little real enmity?
Can the cream puffs!" Ah, yes, Senator,
we would — we would — if.

An uproarious time was had
by all last Thursday night as 600
students made merry in Voorhees
Chapel at one of the noisiest pep
rallies held on the Hill in years.
Festivities opened at 6:45 when a
Roosevelt banner, held on high by
the aid of a broom-stick, drew
cheers (and other things) from the
enthusiastic gathering. When the
furore had partially subsided the
College band appeared on the
scene and, directed by Mr. Ralph
Colbert, furnished music apppro-
priate to the occasion.

Horse Shows

Featuring the evening's program
Prof. Ray Nelson's horse John, an
animal of rare intelligence ( not to
mention physical make-up) repre-
senting the Alpha Sigma stables.
Although the animal was introduc-
ed by hismaster as a horse, the
length of the creature's ears led
many to suspect Alpha Sig of
disseminating political propaganda.
But regardless of political alliance
or physical peculiarities John prov-
ed himself to be beyond the shadow
of a doubt the most talented horse
to appear on the stage here in
many a day. He goose stepped, he
danced to Turkey In The Straw, h«
vaulted lightly over a chair, and he
added the finishing touches by
kissing his master on the cheek.

The program was given a touch
of football atmosphere by several
rounds of cheers and closed with
the singing of the Alma Mater.

It is the opinion of those who have
interviewed Coach's new daughter
that she looks decidedly like her father
even to the dimple in her ch»n. Our
interview didn't prove highly success-
ful, however; baby's lungs are too
good. A few facts we did manage to
find out. Her name is Barbara Anne,
and she was born in Friday, October
2. Other important matters are her
weight, 8 pounds, and her height, 22
1-4 inches.

It is a confirmed fact that at one
time Barbara Anne fell asleep in her
father's hands. We predict that she
will inherit Coach's interest in sports.
At any rate, she will make a good
cheer leader. And have you noticed
what her initials spell? Her father
can't seem to get away from the idea of
baseball.

We are glad to know that Ruth Bigler
is out of the infirmary, and is able to
be around again.

It is of interest to know that the

REGISTRATION
STATISTICS

The Personnel office now has regis-
tration figures for this semester ready
for publication. The total number of
students enrolled is eight hundred
five, a few less than last year. As to
class enrollment, the freshmen head
the list, as usual, with th*ee hundred
twenty seven. Of this number three
hundred fifteen are new, the remainder
being made up of those freshmen who
foiled to be promoted into the sopho-
more class last June. With one hun-
dred forty-two boys to one hundred
seventy-three girls, it looks as though;
the masculine sex may have to stand
up for its rights.

The sophomore class comes next in
number of members with two hundred
four. The junior and senior classes
follow with one hundred sixty-nine,
and one hundred three respectively.
There are also two special students.

Li respect to the total number in the
school, the men are again outnum-
bered by the girls, the numbers being
three hundred seventy-one for the
boys and four hundred thirty-four for
the girls.

followed with a three yard gain, setting
the ball on the 4 yard line. From there
Overly plunged over in two tries.-

Odell then added variety to the
occasion by dropkicking one squarely
through the uprights for the seventh
point.

On this drive Maryville covered 75
yards, racking up six consecutive
firsts. Those big boys in the Scottie
forewall were opening huge holes, en-
abling the ball-carriers to zip through
into the Collowhee secondary, where
it was just too bad for Coach James'
boys— that is unless Ratcliffe, Panther,
left end, appeared on the scene in time.
He was in there smashing Maryville
plays all evening, putting up a most
annoying sort of game from the High-
lander's viewpoint.

Scoring Punch Fails
Another scoring threat came in this
period but fell flat on the 27 yard line
as Odell was dropped for a 12 yard
loss on an attempted pass. This drive,
starting from deep in Maryville terri-
tory, saw Parker and Overly reel off
consecutive gains of 15 and 13 yards to
enter the scoring zone.

Just after the opening of the second
period Big Jim Cochrane dropped back
from his tackle position and booted the
ball to the opposition's 10-yd. line, the
ball being downed by Tulloch, who,
incidentally, continued his fine brand
of play at the Scots right tackle.

On the next play Humphries kicked
out to Maryville's 40-yd line, where
Parker received the ball and raced
back 25 yards to Collowhee's 35. Fail-
ing to make first down the Honoker-
men then gave up the ball and the
Carolinians punted again.

Crawford Goes Over
It looked as if another drive had
died out, but the fun was just begin-
ning. Parker, taking the punt on his
own 30, returned it to the 45 yd. line.
Two plays carried the Scots to mid
field, and from there Cochrane passed
straight down the middle to Capt.
Corky Crawford, who took the ball on
the 20 yard line and galloped over un-
touched for the second score. His
attempt to add the extra point at left
tackle failed.

The Catamounts really opened up
with their passing attack at this point,
being caught by the timekeeper's
whistle just as they made first down
on the Highlanders 30.

Shift Play Scores
The third quarter saw Coach Hona-
ker's men begin to experiment a little.
Using a new shift play to advantage
they again marched down the field
for a score, Overly going over from
the one yard line for the third and
last touchdown. Capt. Crawford's at-

Official Positions

A new Public Address System will
keep Maryville football fans posted on
the progress of home games this year.
The best quality sound equipment,
owned by the Chemistry Dept. of the
College, has been secured by the
Athletic Board of Control for use at
the Cullowhee game here on Wilson
Field Friday night.

If found satisfactory, the P. A.
sytem will be in operation at all home
games, replacing a similar amplifier
which was in use part of last year.
According to present plans the equip-
ment will be enclosed in a sound-proof
booth, to be built atop the west-side
bleachers on Wilson Field. The micro-
phone will be carried by the an-
nouncer on the sidelines, following the
progress of the ball.

The equipment purchased by the
Athletic Board is of the best quality
and is expected to prove satisfactroy.

Harold Truebger will be in charge
of the system with announcing duties
handled by Walter West.

From here on out it was a three
cornered fight, with the Scotties con-
tent to let the rain do its work on the
Panther pass attack. Their one an^
only threat was broken up on the 17
yard . line as the greasy ball slipped
from the hands of a potential pass
receiver, leaving Maryville and the
elements in complete command.

In SMC Opener

Tulloch and Overly Score

Winning Markers as

Scots Win, 14-0

By JOHN GUIGOU

(.Manager, 1936 Scotties)

TUSCULUM COLLEGE, Oct. 3—
Turning a wild lateral pass by the
Pioneer aerial attacker into a scoring
punch, and adding the second marker
on power plays, the Scotties chalked
up a victory in their first Smoky
Mountain Conference game against the
Tusculum pioneers here today.

The SMC opener for the Scots turned
out to be a punting duel between Has-
kins of Tusculum and "Junior" O'Dell
of the Scots. With the exception of
Maryville's scoring drive in the third
period, very little yardage was secured
on power plays by either side.

The opening marker was scored early
in the second period, when O'Dell in-
tercepted a wild lateral, pass by Has-
kins of Tusculum. The gain was quick-
ly utilized, and Tulloch of Maryville
took the ball over for the initial score.
Burris, Scot back, converted for the
extra point.

Late in the third quarter, after a
series of line bucks by Captain Craw-
ford and Jack Overly, Overly went
over for the second score. He then con-
verted for the extra point.

The final quarter found the ball
jockeyed between the teams in mid-
field, with neither aggregation able to
get in a scoring position. Throughout
the game, the Pioneers were unable to
advance the ball to an advantageous
position.

Coach L. S. Honaker's gridders re-
gistered a total of ten first downs to
the Pioneers' three.

MIXED DOUBLES

Something new in tennis circles was
instituted by the Y. M. C. A. this week
when they announced their sponsor-
ship of a mixed doubles tennis tourna-
ment.

Registration for this tourney is now

under way, and the event will swing

into action immediately following the

completion of men's singles competition.

Gillingham Downs Meeks to

Reach Finals ; Second

Match Not Played

The annual tennis tourney, although
hampered by rain, is rapidly nearing
completion. All the seeded players
reached the penultimate round and
Gillingham, top-seeded player, ad-
vanced to the finals by the virtue of
a hard earned victory over "Willy"
Meeks, smooth stroking racquetman.
Gillingham's overhead play contributed
much to the downfall of Meeks' easy
flowing game.

Morrow, top-seeded freshman, and
Colombo the other semi-finalist will
probably meet Saturday. Morrow ex-
perienced little difficulty in attaining
one of the semi-final brackets, while
Colombo was hard put to reach it as
he almost went down to defeat at the
hands of the southpaw Bruce Morgan.
Only his superior experience pulled
him through. Morrow seems to be the
favorite to meet Gillingham in the
finals.

The consolation round has reached
the quarter-finals, with Teague and
Short favored to reach the finals.

Determination is the best ammunition
to rout the forces of failure.

FITS AMD FIZZLES

By FRED RHODY

A lover of good government delivers
a political speech "My friends

(applause), this election is a g-r-reat
crisis in the history of these United
States. (Hear! Hear!) Our future de-
pends upon the man we elect as our
President." (Under cover of terrific
applause: "Pst, Joe! which party are
we for this time?" Joe: "Democratic
Congressman Sidesteppit has made us
the best offer.") "Yes, my friends, we
must reelect that great benefactor,
that gallant leader, that friend of the
peepul, that fearless soldier — our
Democratic Persidem!" (During tre-
mendous demonstration, Joe says: "Pst!
Republican Senator Fcncesitter just
wired us a better offer." The lover of
good government does not even bat an
eye.) "Ahemph; As I was saying,
friends, we must repudiate the vicious
policies of the present administration,
and save our country from ruin by
electing to the presidency that great
American, Governor er,- uh- Gover-
nor- (Pst, Joe! what's our candidate's
name?)".

thing extra since all this science is

of me when I say, for instance, that
we tried all the rest, so why don't we
let Senator Roosevelt be President
this year and see what he can do for
the French dollar? I mean, really, I
don't see what all the fuss is over the
Constitution anyway; I thought they
were going to take that warship apart
quite some time ago, but Browning or
somebody wrote a poem not to tear
her tattered ensign down. But really,
what I mean is, boys like girls with

we should mend the Constitution where

then the Senate will have to probe in

ATHENIAN

The attention of many students,
both old and new, has been attracted
by the announcement of the coming to
Athenian tonight of Joe Jurvis. No in-
formation would be given out by
Donnell McArthiur or the program
secretaries as to the identity of the
mysterious character, though all of
them agree that once he is seen, he'll
not be forgotten. Reese Scull will give
a number of his popular readings and
special music, as yet unannounced,
will also be heard. New men are re-
minded that tonight they may have
their names presented to the society for
membership. They are asked to speak
to one of the old members for appli-
cation for membership. The time of the
program is 6:45 tonight; old and new
men are urged to attend.

ALPHA SIGMA

Alpha Sigma is featuring tonight
another of its interesting faculty pro-
grams which have proved to be very
popular. Tonight's program, with Dr.
Lloyd, Mr. Colbert, Miss Davies, Coach
Honaker, and Professor Walker, will
be no exception.

Other members of the faculty to be
present are those among the men

students.

NATURE STUDY

The Nature Club meeting which was
to have been held on Thursday evening
was postponed because of the pep
meeting. However, plans for the fall
hike have been completed. It is esti-
mated that about thirty people, in-
cluding the members of Nature Club
and a few friends will go on the hike,
which will be on Saturday afternoon,
October 17. The group will meet in
front of Fayerweather hall at 1:00
o'clock, and will go up to Hall's cabin
in the Great Smoky Mountains National
Park beyond Elkmont.

PRE-LAW

The Pre-Law club held its first
meeting of this semester on Thursday
evening, October 8. After discussing
some business, Dr. Henry B. Wittum,
who is dean of the law schpol of the
university of Tennessee, was introduced
as the speaker of the evening. He talked
on the necessary preparation for en-
tering the profession of law. After he
finished his interesting speech, he
carried on a discussion with the mem-
bers of the club, answering their
various questions and helping them
with their various problems.

This was only tt.j first of meeting of
this nature. The president of the club
announced that he hoped, during the
course of the year, to get some of the
most prominent lawyers of Tennessee
to speak. He also plans to have pro-
fessors from the law schools of the
university of Michigan and of Vander-
bilt university.

Among other business transacted, a
definite time was decided upon for the
meetings, once every two weeks on
Wednesday.

THETA EPSILON

Theta Epsilon welcomes her new
members tonight at 6:45 with, first, an
informal intiation program, that will be
pure fun, for both old and new girls.
It is to be brief, for a formal reception
by the president, Katherine Quass,
follows. This will present the more
serious side of Theta, with its pledge
and all that goes with it. New Thetas
will be made to feel at home from this
first meeting.

BAINONIAN

Bainonian will hold her first meeting
at 6:30 tonight in Bainonian hall, at
which time the new girls who have
joined Bainonian will be initiated into
membership. Plans for the cermony

secretaries, Mary Knibloe and Ruth

new, are
urged to be present.

TRIANGLE

Last Monday evening the Triangle
Club elected new officers for this
semester. The officers are as follows:
Wilson Leathers, president: Wilkinson
Meeks. vice-president: Kenneth Van

the College Players this year.

The setting of the play is in France
during the time of Napolean and the
plot deal: with the struggles between
the royalists and the common people.

The play was originally written in
French by Paul Armont and Jean
Manoussi, but has been adapted to the
English stage by Mattheson Lang.

According to Miss Wilhelimina
Holland, the director, the cast will be
chosen during the early part of next
week, and the play will probably be
presented about the middle of Novem-
ber.

Among other projects being considered
by the club is the production of a one-
act play.

Monday night, October 12. is the
date of the next meeting. Entertain-
ment and refreshment commitees will
be appointed at that time.

This week, however, one freshman
went up and down the halls of CamoL-; -
hall to borrow a razor. He explained
that he only needed to shave every six
weeks, and that heretofore he had
always used his daddy's shaving things.

MINISTERIAL

At the meeting of the Ministerial
association on Monday evening Dr. P.
B. Baldridge, pastor of the Baptist
church of Maryville, was the speaker.

The business of the evening consisted
of an allotment to the gospel team
committee for the purchase of new
hymn books, and a short talk by Sam
Fleming, chairman of the work for the
poor farm, on the need of the people
out there. It was decided that a com-
mittee chould be appointed to work
with him.

Leaders of Feb. Meetings
On Preaching Mission

Two men who within recent years
were speakers at the college February
Meetings are among the leaders of the
National Preaching mission, a united
movement of the churches to awaken
America spiritually. Wm. Hiram
Foulkes, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church of Newark, N. J., is
chairman of the National Preaching
Mission committee. He was the leader
of the February Meetings here in 1932.
Professor W. T. Thompson, of thjfc
Department of Religious Education at
Union Theological seminary, Rich-
mond, Va., will speak each day in
each of the cities to be visited by the
Mission. Professor Thompson led the
1935 February Meetings.

The National Preaching mission is
made up of outstanding ministers and
laymen from many denominations,
united in a concerted drive to
strengthen Christian faith and life in
the nation. The Mission will hold meet-
ings for four days in each of twenty-
five cities. The meetings began on
September 13 and will continue until
December 9.

Charles Luminati Elected

Student Body President

Student Council Elects

Hallam, Maguire; New

Committees Formed

CHARLES LUMINATI

At the second meeting of the Student
council, Charles Lumnati, capable
senior, was elected president. The
honor of heading this most important
and representative organization on the
hill comes as the result of three years'
efficient work in student affairs.

Last year Mr. Luminati was the busi-
ness manager of the Chilhowean; and
this year, in addition to acting as presi-
dent of the Law club and a member of
the senior class ring committee, he is
the business manager of the Highland
Echo.

Other officers of the council are
Donald Hallam, vice-president, and
Helen Maguire, secretary-treasurer.

During the week since his election,
Mr. Luminati has completed his ap-
pointments of standing committees. The
students comprising the student-faculty
committee, a body which attempts to
regulate matters of grievance and ad-
ministration in consultation with the
faculty, are Kay Quass, Don Hallam,
Helen Maguire, Bob Gillespie, Ernest
Enslin, and Harwell Proffitt. The
facutly members are Dr. E. R. Hunter,
Mr. E. E. McCurry, Mrs. Grace Snyder,
- Miss Almira Bassett, and Dr. R. W.
Lloyd.

The social Committee, to whom is en-
trusted the planning of general campus
social activities, consists of Tom Bryan,
Calista Palmer, and Ruth Hainer. Mem-
bers of the Highland Echo committee,
who will serve on the student-faculty
publications board, are Helen Wood-
ward, Jean Cross, Wando Colombo, and
Louise Fairbanks,. .

The pep committee, which is respon-
sible for all pep meetings and cele-
brations, is composed of Dave Brittain,
Win Ross, Joan Dexter, and Marcella
Ardern. Ed Gillingham will be in
charge of publicity for the council.

New Furniture,
Curtains Improve
Carnegie Lobby

With the lobby of Carnegie already
refurnished, plans have been made to
remedy the deficiency in water pres-
sure in the building. It was announced
by authorities this week that work
would begin soon on a new and larger
pipe line that will increase the pressure
appreciably on the third and fourth
floors, which have been suffering from
water shortage for several years.

The date for the beginning of the
work on the pipe line has not been set,
but authorities promise an early start.
The line will run from the corner be-
low Baldwin, where the new line will
tap the present college water main, to
the corner below the gate at the north
entrance to the campus, where it will
be connected to the city water main,
coming from the reservoir back of Fort
Craig school. This will not only increase
water pressure in Cargenie, but also in
other dormitories on the hill.

Already accomplished is the refur-
nishing of the lobby with new tables
and chairs of durable build. The cur-
tains put up in the lobby a year ago
have been cleaned and hung again.
With the walls painted, the general ap-
pearance of the lobby is greatly im-
proved. The chairs in the lobby are
of a special design suggested to the
manufacturer by Mr. E. E. McCurry,
proctor of Carnegie.

O

Echo Service

Four of the freshman apprentices
will deliver the Echo to the rooms in
the women's dormitories so that each
person will receive a copy.

After much thought and discussion
on the part of the girls of Pearsons hall
and of Mrs. Grace Snyder, head of the
hall, a plan of student government for
Pearsons has been adopted.

At the election, which took place on
September 21, the girls chose as their
president Alice Timblin, a senior who
has been outstanding during her three
years at Maryville, having served as
a Nu Gamma leader, a member of the
"Y" cabinet, and in other responsible
capacities. Also elected to serve as
officers during the first semester were:
Clara Dale Echols, vice-president;
Nelle McQuagge, secretary; and Martha
Watson, treasurer. Chosen at the same
time were the temporary floor chair-
men: Caralyn Harrar, second; Ruth
Haines, third; and Deane Bell, fourth.
Each floor chairman subsquently ap-
pointed committees on acquaintance
and improvements, whose respective
duties arc to see that enough "get-
togethers" are held for the girls, and to
try .to effect any improvements which
might be needed in the hall.

Since the time of the election the
organization has been furthered by ap-
pointments to the following standing
committees: Ann Sligh, safety; Con-
stance Johnson, office; Gloria Miller,
page; and Mary Porter Hatch, house-
hold. These committees are function-
ing already. The safety committee is
planning to have fire-drills, the first

'36-7 NYA Program
Plans Completed

This past month has seen the com-
pletion of arrangements for a large
part of the N. Y. A. program for the
year 1936-1937. This program which
has made it possible for a great many
students to earn a part of their college
expenses, and thereby to remain in
school, was instituted in February,
1934, by the present national adminis-
tration. It was then designated as the
Federal Emergency Relief adminis-
tration, or the FERA, and was much
less extensive than it is today. At the
beginning of the last school year the
use of such government funds was
deemed important enough to be placed
under separate supervision, and the
National Youth administration deve-
loped.

The present system is based upon a
monthly allotment to each institution,
the amount of which is determined by
the enrollment figures of the previous
year. Administration of the funds, pro-
jects assigned, and reports made are
under the direct supervision of district
offices in each state. Federal regula-
tions require that these funds be used
to supplement, not to replace, student
help programs already in operation.

N. Y. A. workers at Maryville have
accomplished much in the way of
valuable research and needed improve-
ments for which the college funds could
not have provided. The 1936-1937 set
up. upon which students have already
begun work, provides for additional
experimental studies, assistants in
various departments, social service, and
an extended program of supervised
play at the Maryville public schools.

The cast for the "Purple Mask,"
the play to be presented by the Col-
lege players, has been chosen, and the
performance will be given about the
middle of November. Rehearsals have
begun, and progress is being made un-
der the direction of Miss Wilhelmina
Holland.

The play, in four acts, takes place
in the time of the French revolution.
The Chevalier of the "Purple Mask"
is Armond, Comte de Trevieres, who
abducts Republicans and holds them
for ransom. He covers his identity so
thoroughly that even his friends do
not know him; and they, hearing of
his boast to release the Due de
Chateaubriand, resolve to put police
on his track by substitution of a spur-
ious purple mask. Armand, hearing
this, decides to become his own decoy
and masquerades as a bravo. There
follow many excitements. Armand'si
real identity is established and the
whole party departs for England and
freedom.

Parts have been assigned to Carolyn
Harrar, Virginia Pennington, Carol
Dawn Ward, Bernard Boyatt, Alice
Whitaker, Gloria Mifer, Edward Bru-
baker, Gerald Beaver, Wilson Leathers,
Thomas Bryan, Fern Unthank, Evan
Renne, Gordon Bennett, Lincoln John-
son, Katherine Warren, William Swear-
ingen, Fred Young, Leland Waggoner,
J. N. Badgett, William Rath, and Donald
Hallam.

Gloria Miller will play the female
lead, opposite Gordon Bennett, as
Armand.

Alumni Expected
For Homecoming

Barbecue, Game Planned
For October 30

The fourth annual observance of
Homecoming and Founders days will
be held on October 30 and 31. The
alumni get-together will begin with the
registration of alumni in the gymna-
sium at 4:30 on Friday afternoon, fol-
lowed by a barbecue on the baseball
field. The feature on the Homecoming
program will be the football game be-
tween Maryville and East Tennessee
Teachers' college on Friday night.

Founder's day exercises will be held
on Saturday morning at the regular
chapel hour, when the life and work
of the third president of the college,
Dr. P. Mason Bartlett, will be com-
memorated. The principal speaker will
be a member of the Class of 1888, Dr.
John Grant Newman, of Philadelphia.

Alpha Sigma Vote
Will Determine
Campus Politics

Mock Poll Wednesday From

9:00 to 4:00; Students

Urged To Vote

By RAY NELSON

Final plans are being made by the
straw vote committee of Alpha Sigma
Literary society and the Political
Science department for the ballot which
will be taken on Wednesday, October
28. A special booth will be constructed
near the college post office where stu-
dents may cast their ballots for their
presidential favorite.

The poll will be conducted in a
strictly legal manner by some member
of the committee, with a faculty mem-
ber supervising. Each student's name
will be checked off the list as he casts
his vote, in order that there will be no
double voting by over-zealous parti-
sans. No poll tax receipts are required.

The booth will be opened Wednesday
morning at nine A. M., and will stay
open until four P. M., unless all votes
are cast prior to that time. In addition
to the regular ballot, there will be a
brief questionnaire designed by the
Political Science department, which
students are requested to fill. This will
be useful and interesting to that de-
partment and to the student body in
general.

The results of the poll will be pub-
lished in the forthcoming edition of the
Highland Echo. Several of the local
newspapers have indicated an interest
in the poll, and will print the results.
The ballot wil include the names of
the following candidates: Roosevelt,
Landon, Thomas, Lemke, Browder, and
Colvin.

This is the first time a straw presi-
dential vote of such proportions has
been conducted on the campus of the
college; and judging from the interest
which has already been evinced in the
campaign, a large vote will be taken.
Many colleges all over the country
conduct straw polls, and the results are
the objects of much speculation, since
the college student is considered as
typifying the more intellectual voter of
the nation.

All students are urged to vote, in
order that the poll may represent ac-
curately the opinion of the school.

Miss Henry Takes
For Field Work

Trip

Miss Clemmie J. Henry, Maryville's
Director of Student-Help, left on the
evening of October 7 for Hartford,
Connecticut, from where she will carry
on her field work for the next two
months. Her work here is being carried
on during her absence by Miss Mary
-oloane Welsh, her secretary.

Before her departure, Miss Henry
granted a short interview to an Echo
reporter, and stated that she would
send reports of her progress for publi-
cation from time to time. She will con-
centrate her efforts during her trip on
establishing a rotating loan fund for
the use of the students of the college.

Such a loan fund has been for many
years a dream of the administration. A
new bulletin, "The Life and Growth
of the Rotating Loan Plan at Mary-
ville College," which has recently
come from the press, epitomizes Mary-
ville's methods of student help, the be-
ginning and growth of the student
loan, the successful experience of
Maryville with such a method of help,
and the need for the establishment of
a permanent fund, which is now build-
ing. Such a fund would be used over
and over again, and would benefit
many generations of college students.

Word has been received that Miss
Henry's activities have begun, and
that favorable piospects can be seen
for success in her work.

POLITICAL PRATTLINGS

By FRED RHODY

Even if the political rally on Tues-
day, October 13, in Thaw hall did
nothing more, it did give a lot of us a
chance to get rid of the enthusiasm
that we have been generating during
this campaign. The speakers had to
feed us their hot air in seven -minute
doses, but we in the audience ranted

Social Committee
Secures Additional
Party Privileges

— ^ffitfH

The Social commitee, through
!ta chairman, Don Hallam, has
announced that the privilege of
having parties for small groups
in the parlors of the women's
dormitories may be secured
through the regular channels for
scheduling social events. These
activities are not, however, to
conflict with any proposed pro-
gram of the women in the
dormitory.

Echo Vacancies

speech, Walter played safe and took a
large part of his seven minutes to re-
cite a poem, "Ode to a Boondoggles'^
or something on that order. But that
was merely a bit of mellow scarcasm,
such as only West or Roosevelt could
handle.

Leland Waggoner, the first Republi-
can speaker, was taking no chances

for forty-five minutes and Bob Gilles- of being confronted with a hostile

audience. He carried a supply of
tomatoes to the platform, and intimated
that he had no scruples against using
them in self-defence. But the audience
behaved, and Leland escaped safely
after his speech without even being
branded an economic royalist, in
spite of the fact that he had seventy-
five cents in his pocket.

Fred Jewett's defence of the socialist
party would have warmed the heart
of Norman Thomas, but it burnt up
some of the Republicans and Demo-
crats present. Fred told a very touch-
ing story of his conversation with an
anti-socialist woman in a church pew,
but Bob Gillespie called time on Fred
before he got around to the minor mat-
ter of considering the socialist plat-
form. The audience applauded him

his

pie, the time-keeper, couldn't do a
thing about it.

Propaganda Exhibited

Each party had its share of insidious
printed propaganda plastered over the
walls of the room, but it didn't do any
harm because not even the campaign
managers bothered to read the stuff.
It all looked mighty impressive, though,
from where we sat. The prize exhibit
of the Republicans — a huge picture of
Governor Landon — was ruined in short
order by President Roosevelt's hench-
men. The Republicans were too gallant
to retaliate — or was it that they were
outnumbered?

Democrats, Republicans Speak

Walter West, that fearless champion
of democracy, reeled off his remarks

The college band, consisting of thirty-
eight members, will march in full
uniform at the Homecoming game on
October 30. It has been drilling for the
last two weeks, and will make its first
appearance between halves of the
game, led by Dick Woodring, the drum
major. Heba Blazer, sponsor, will march
with the band.

At the regular rehearsal on Thurs-
day evening, Claude Riley, of Knox-

Leland Waggoner, junior associate
editor on the Echo staff, has resigned
his post to accept a place on the re-
porting staff of the Knoxville Journal,
his resignation to take effect imme-
diately.

Mr. Waggoner served as managing
editor of the Echo last year, and hps
rendered valuable service to the paper
since he was added to the staff early
last fall.

The four vacancies in the senior and
junior staff were filled at a meeting
of the Committte on Publications on
the afternoon of Friday, October 16.
At that time Helen Woodward, a mem-
ber of the Class of '37, was elected to
a position as staff editor. Mary Haines,
J. T. Hunt, and Walter West, juniors,
were named associate editors.

Following a series of competitive
tryouts, twelve freshmen were selected
to serve during 1936-1937 as apprentices
to the staff. At the end of the year,
six of these will be advanced to the
rank of cub. The successful applicants

That Maryville college should bear the loss of a pro-
mising student and one of its most beloved officers in one
short week is indeed tragic. Although we must carry on
our steps falter, and we pause to come to a full realization
of our loss.

If Dr. John W. Cummings had not endeared himself to
us in his short year here; if he had not been sympathetic,
and understanding; if his life had not been so radiant, we
might realize what has happened to us, and to everyone
who knew him. We might, perhaps, understand that he has
gone. * 44 vq

In one year we learned to love him, and to respect him.
We happily anticipated a participation in his Christian
program. In his death we have an irreparable loss, which
we shall appreciate even more fully as we continue on our
way,

UiUtam Marum gtrttti

You went so quickly, Marvin, that only a few of us had
time to say goodbye. It's hard to realize that you've gone.
Those among us who came to know you in these short
weeks admired you for many things: your quiet deter-
mination, your shy smile, your husky shoulders. Your
vacant chair in classes will remind your fellow freshmen,
your teachers, and all of us, that we've lost a real Mary-
villian, a real man. We sang "Rock of Ages" for you the
other night, Marvin, and somehow that heaviness in our
hearts isn't quite the same. They tell us that you were a
little homesick, old boy. Your folks have taken you back
to Florida; you've gone Home, Marvin. W^ miss you.

Dr. Joseph Vance Confers
With Executive Council

Dr. Joseph A. Vance, representing
the joint committee on evangelism of
the Presbyterian Board of Christian
Education and the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions, met in conference
with the Executive Council of the
Faculty on Monday evening. Dr. Vance
and the Council discussed matters con-
cerning the spiritual emphasis on the
campus, and especially the February
meetings. Dr. Vance is also represent-
ing a special commitee of the Board of
Foreign Missions which is planning a
centennial celebration for the Board.
Monday evening the faculty members
and Dr. Vance also discussed the matter
of connecting the eamplus spiritual
emphasis with the centennial celebra-
tion of the Board of Foreign Missions.

On this trip, Dr. Vance has visited

Music Dept. Purchases

New Electric Victrola

The small victrola in the Fine Arts
department has been replaced by a new
electrict orthophonic victrola, which
will be used chiefly in the history and
appreciation of music classes, where a
study of the great symhonies is being
made. Having a much larger sounding
board, the nev makes

possible a reproduction more adequate
than that of the old one.

The Fine Arts department believes
that in addition to promoting a higher
interest in these classes, the now in-
strument will benefit the students in
interpretation through its wider range
of volume, and clearer, more natural
tone.

1937 Chilhowean
Makes Progress

The 1937 Chilhowean editor, Simpson
Spencer, has announced that the first
dummy copy and the first pictures are
to be sent in to the engraver within the
next two weeks. The junior section
opened Tuesday, and the senior section
closes November 1. It is essential that
all seniors have their pictures made by
November 1. The staff have asked that
this fact be emphasized because they
are anxious to continue the progress
which has marked the production of
the annual thus far.

The estimate of the cost of the an-
nual, as stated by Mr. Benson, amounts
to $3,000. More than twice as many
annuals have been sold as had been
sold at this time last year, so the staff
feel confident that the expenses will be
met without difficulty. The contract
for covers will be let next week.

John Stafford, the feature editor, is
seeking good, clear snapshots of the
campus and informal snaps of Mary-
villians. Soberta Enloe, asociate fea-
ture editor, will also be glad to receive
any negatives.

Mr. Ralph Colbert has expressed the
desire for an entirely new and separate
section for the Department of Fine
Arts.

Walter West, sports editor, and
Marian Lodwick, associate editor, have
announced that the contract with the
Athletic department for the sports sec-
tion of the year-book was signed this
week.

The staff has been receiving ex-
cellent cooperation from the student
body so far, and everything points to
one of the most successful annuals that
Maryville has yet produced.

SJT he performance of the Avon Play-

Wednesday night leaves the Critick
much in doubt as to the pertinence of
the alleged Jewish protest of their
performance in Kivoxville the same
afternoon. There should have been
small objection to Mr. Joseph Selman's
Shylock, who did show weak Hebraic
characteristics, but was obviously of
a much more recent Moorish extraction,
e were not at all convinced by Mr.
Selman's reading of the part,
although remembering the much
stronger Othello of last year, we were
perfectly willing to abandon our pre-
conceptions in favor of an accomplished
Thespian's interpretation. But in
voice, gesture, and action, we were
forced to admit that his performance
fell far short of that of last year.

r. Harold Selman, on the contrary,
invested his Launcelot Gobbo with
a lusty buffoonery, which, if not
exactly accurate, was nevertheless
effective and provided one of the bright
spots of the evening.

Postponed Political Rally
To £e Held Next Week

Tuesday evening at seven o'clock in
the philosophy class room members of
the varsity debating class will present
the political rally which was postponed
this week.

Lois Black and Bill McGill will re-
present the Republican party in the
rally; and Virginia Pennington and
Ray Nelson, the Democrats. The
Socialist party will be represented by
Dick Schlafer and Don Hallam. Dr.
Edwin R. Hunter will act as chairman
of the meeting.

After the rally the class will begin
work on the varsity debate question
for this year.

The freshman debate class is study-
ing the construction of briefs, and on
Monday each freshman debater is to
have a complete brief on the "Public
Ownership of Electric Utilities."

Exchange Notes

Have you found the Exchange table
in the Library? The Highland Echo is
receiving a number of publications
from other colleges, so that Mary-
villians can keep in touch with what
is being done elsewhere. The table is
located to the left as you enter the
Library.

Oddly enough, Mr. Harold Selman
and Mr. Vinson, who both played dual
roles, were far superior in their minor
characterizations, the more important
parts being on the whole undistin-
guished.

A spirited Portia was the one re-
-*» deeming figure among the femi-
nine members of the cast, while Miss
Douney's Jessica can only be de-
scribed as deplorable.
JBespite their deficiencies and the
* many technical difficulties en-
countered, the Avon Players turned
out a methodical and workman-like, if
not inspired, evening's entertainment.
And from it the Critick has drawn the
conclusion that the transcendent dra-
matic genius of Shakespeare is almost
proof against the possibility of a totally
bad performance.

hen you get a ekince to hear Lotte
Lehman, and Hans Kindler and the
National Symphony, with a violinist
and pianist thrown in, for two and a
half, take the Critick's word for it, it's
a bargain. See Miss Davies or Mr. Col-
bert for particulars.

tremely blank verse:

We're looking forward to the coming
fire drill at Pearsons' hall the first
part of next week ... We understand
that the girls are to march in orderly
fashion down to the chapel walk in
absolute silence . . . We can't believe
that even five Maryville girls could
walk that far without talking much
less in orderly fashion . . . We'll see
. . . And it was Bill Wood who told us
about the well-known junior gal in
Pearsons who wanted a boy to come
up and fix the "elastic" that controls
the opening and closing of her window
Life goes on . . .

About those "pep meetings" .In
neither one of the last two has there
been mention of their purpose: to
arouse student spirit for the football
games. To neither Bainonian or

Theta does Yorick give credit for
originality or entertainment . . . And
those cheer leaders had better give a
little more attention to cheering than
to their inane antics if they expect the
student body to give the cheering sup-
port that our team needs . . We hope
Athenian and the cheer leaders will
make us regret this outburst in next
week's homecoming pep meeting . . .

e understand from a reliable source
that the proposed Disc club has
received faculty sanction, and will be-
gin to meet as soon as fully organized.
It is hoped that the new club will pro-
vide balm for the souls of all true
music-lovers who miss their winter
season.

The Followship club, an organization
of freshman men designed primarily
to help in acquainting the men of the
freshman class with one another, will
hold it's last meeting next Wednesday
night in Bartlett.

The first two meetings of the club
were held under the direction of the
Y. M. C. A. and resulted in the election
of the following officers: president,
Thomas Schafer; vice-president,
Richard Smith; secretary, William
Mooney; program secretaries, Glenn
Young and Earl Tweed.

Since the election of officers, the pro-
grams of the club have been carried
out by the freshmen altogether. The
club entertained once with a weiner
roast.

This week no meeting of the club
was held.

The officers believe that the club has
succeeded in carrying out its purpose.

DINING HALL SERVICE IMPROVED

Two new additions to the kitchen

the service in the dining hall this year.

Plans for the reorganization of the
Alpha Sigma orchestra which was so
popular last year are progressing
(rapidly, according to president Don
Hallam. It will be sponsored this year
by the Social committee and will be
directed by last year's conductor, Bill
Downes.

Membership in the orchestra is not
limited to members of Alpha Sigma,
but is open to all men students who can
play an instrument. Announcement of
tryouts and practices will be posted on
the bulletin board of Carnegie early

Library Orders New Books

From the Orange and Blue, the
Carson-Newman publication, we picked
up some data on a new extra curricular
course. It is called Campusology, and
is mainly a laboratory course. Any
lectures connected with this subject
are held in the Dean's office or in
chapel exercises. We quote from the
Orange and Blue concerning the
material covered in Campusology HI—
a Freshman Course on fundamentals.

"Topics studied: 1— Obtaining de-
sirable introductions; 2— The art of
appearing interested when bored; 3—
The art of constant conversation; and
4— The evasion of those destructive
forces which tend to interrupt labora-
tory work-such as night watchmen
and dinner bells."

An interesting and worthwhile ad-
dition to any curriculum, we think.

The Kayseean of King college con-
tains a radio column which comments
upon various programs of interest to
students.

Special Train To Carry
400 Students to TJ. T. Game

The faculty has granted the privi-
lege of chartering a train for the U. T.
football game which will be played in
Knoxville, November 7.

At least four hundred students must
go, or the train will not be available.
Round trip fare will be fifty cents. The
train will leave Maryville after dinner,
and will return in time for supper.

A special section at the game has
been reserved for Maryville, and all
students will be admitted for fifty-five
cents.

It is hoped that the four hundred
students necessary to secure the re-
duction in train fare will find it
possible to go.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO 0CTOBEK24, 1936

J

It's hard to write a story about a game that was lost.
One side of every football game is hard to write about.
But it is especially hard to write of a game in which a
fighting eleven goes down to what looks like utter defeat,
while all the time they are giving all they have in that
game.

So it was on Wilson field last night, as Coach Rube
McCray's Bulldogs of Tennessee Wesleyan marched down

the striped rectangle to roll up a 40-7 X — . _ —

advantage over those fighting High-
landers.

It doesn't seem that there are any
excuses. Forty points are quite a few.
But the score at the end of that game
was, to your editor, by no means indi-
cative of the actual playing perfor-
mance. It was just a score. The real
story of the game lies elsewhere.

Honor Roll

And when it comes to saying a word
about the outstanding work in the
Highlander eleven last night, we're
up a tree. That battered Scottie line,
made of seven men — men that would
rather have been carried off the field
than give-up; a never-tiring backfield
that foughtto the final whistle; those
things make the taste of defeat much
less bitter.

And so he honor roll is made this
week of every man who entered last
night's tilt — and every one deserved it.

Wise Guy

Your scribe received the shock of his
young life on the sidelines last night,
when he saw Guy "Rassler" Propst
warming up for the Wesleyan tilt. "Ah"
sez we, "so you're well again." Propst
grinned, muttered something about
having been all right for a month, and
ran on in. It came to us in a flash.
Coach Thrower had been saving him!

Sound Effects

It is supreme ambition of some peo-
ple, or so it seems, to be able to gripe

because there are not enough blades
of grass to the square inch of Wilson
field. Or gripe at anything else. Or just
to gripe. And so it goes as they listen
to the reporting that comes from the
amplifying system box in the stands.
If some of the chronic complaintants
could be given an opportunity to de-
scribe the play-by-play continuity of
an average football game, maybe some
of the sound and fury would subside.
Fortunately, such an opportunity does
not come. However, it still is a sore spot
in your scribe's side when he hears
some ambitious member of the Gripers
Club exclaim, "Why, he got eight yards
on that play if he got an inch! Can't
those dumbbells in the box up there
see?"

The average football game is a
shifting spectacle of 22 men moving
fast, with the purpose of creating de-
ception even at such close range as
the opposing line. The fact that some
particular of the play escapes the PA
announcer is by no means his fault.
One, two, even three men cannot
gather every detail of split-second
action.

So, to the bleeding hearts of the
bleachers, our richest Bronx cheer, and
to the announcers, fact gatherers, and
to Walter West in particular, our sin-
cere congratulations for an excellent
addition to the program of football on
Wilson field.

Edward Gillingham, captain of the .
Scotties tennis team and top seeded
player, showed his tennis ability as he
romped through Frank Morrow, fresh-
man, in three straight sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-2,
to win the fall tennis tourney in an
■easy fashion. Gillingham won the
tournament without the loss of a sin-
gle set being hard pressed only by
Meeks in the semi-final match in which
he was expected to win.

The first set was fairly hard fought
as Morrow broke through Gillingham
service to win the first game, but
Gillingham, driving hard and accurately
to the base lines took the next three
straight games. Morrow, using a decep-
tive chop to his opponents backhand
underminded his control long enough
to win three stranght games to lead
4-3. At this point Gillingham put on
the steam to forge ahead and win the
set 6-4.

The second set was a repetition of the
first as Gillingham coupled a superb
net game with a variety of passing
shots to win 6-2. In the last set Gilling-
ham smothered Morrow with a barrage
of fine shots to win a love set.

Morrow reached the finals by de-
feating Colombo in the semi-finals.

Out-scrapping a fast Buffalo team in
the first half, the Maryville Scotties
last Saturday hung up their third
straight Smoky Mountain victory,
beating Milligan 7-6.

The Honakermen scored in the se-
cond quarter, taking the ball on their
own 40-yard line and marching from
there to the Milligan two yard stripe.
From there they were set back five
yards for offsides and lost the ball on
a fourth down pass. Milligan then
kicked out short, Maryville taking the
ball on the 25. From there a forward
lateral, Cochrane to Odell to Parker,
carried the ball to Milligan's ten. Jack
Overly then plunged over for the Scots
only touchdown, and added the im-
portant seventh point from placement.

Led by halfback Bill Sturgill, one
of the fastest backs the Highlanders
have faced this year, the Buffs came
back strong in the last half. Although
kept out of scoring territory most of
the game by the punting of Odell, the
end runs and off-tackle slants of Stur-
gill finally carired Coach Steve Lacey's
team over in the last quarter. The kick
for extra point, however, was blocked
by Alt. Capt. Jim Renfro, who also
broke up Milligan's last threat a few
minutes later by intercepting a pass on
the Scots' 38- yard line.

Most of the Highlanders played 60-
minute football, only three substitu-
tions being made all evening, and these
in the last few minutes of the game.
The Maryville backfield of Overly,
Capt. Crawford, Odell, and Parker
played a great game all the way, with
the work of Overly, on both offense
and defense, being outstanding. In the
line Alexander, who had his hands
full breaking up Sturgill's end runs,
Renfro, and the other Scots played a
good game.

The whole Buffalo team was tougher
than had been expected, with Sturgill
especially causing Maryville fans
several anxious moments.

TO CLEAR A
MISUNDERSTANDING ....

The Pep committe is very
happy to anounce that permis-
sion has been granted us to run
a special train to the University
of Tennessee football game on
November 7. However, we wish
to clear up a certain rumor that
has been circulating around the
campus. There has been a rumor
that we are sacrificing your op-
portunity to attend the Carson-
Newman game by planning this
trip. There are no grounds for
such a statement.

The Carson-Newman game
will be played on the last school
day preceding the Thanksgiving
vacation, which makes it im-
possible for any large number
of the student body to attend.
However, the faculty has been
kind enough to grant us some
privileges for the Carson-New-
man game. You are no doubt
aware of the fact that cuts on
days preceding a holiday count
double and also take away one-
half hour's credit. The faculty,
being in sympathy with the stu-
dents' desire to attend this game,
has decided to allow those who
have opportunity to attend the
game to do so and receive only
single cuts from the classes
missed. This ruling applies only
to those actually attending the
game, and each student will be
expected to register with some
designated faculty member in
Jefferson City to signify his at-
tendance at the game.

Hoping this will clear up any
misunderstanding, we ask your
hearty cooperation in regard to
the special train for the Ten-
nessee game.

for the Pep committee

Wesleyan Bulldogs Crush Scot
Eleven for 40-7 Decision Here

Overly Scores Lone Marker

For Scots; Four Men

Hurt In Tilt

Theta's program tonight will feature
entertainment by new members of the
society.

After a smashing, razzle-dazzle
opening period, which saw thirteen
points scored in the first four minutes
of play, the Scottie gridmen fell prey
to the unstoppable backfield of Coach
Rube McCray's Bulldogs here last
night, winding up on the short end of
a 40-7 count.

Matching every effort of the Wes-
leyan eleven during the first quarter,
Coach L. S. Honaker's footballers ex-
hibited all the signs of holding the
McCraymen to a close, hard-fought
score, only to be fought back time after
time as the unstoppable duo of Hud-
son and McGhee reeled off run upon
run, to cross the double stripes for a
total of six touchdowns before the
final whistle blew.

Score In Two Minutes

Wesleyan kicked off to start the tilt,
and O'dell received, carrying the ball
back to Maryville's 45 yard stripe,
where he fumbled when tackled.
Wesleyan recovered the tackle, and
McGhee carried the ball over the goal
line in four runs, starting the Wesle-
yan scoring spree within two minutes
of the opening kick. The try for goal
kick was no good, and the score stood
at 6-0.

Overly Goes Over

Wesleyan kicked to Maryville to start
the second round of scoring. The kick
was run back to the Scots' 42. On the
first lineup, O'dell rifled a long pass
to Captain Corky Crawford, who ran
untouched to the Wesleyan 5 yard mar-
ker, where he was forced out of bounds.
Jack Overly took the ball on an end
run to place the pigskin on the the one-
yard line, from where he took it over
on a repitition of the end run play.

Overly then booted a perfect kick
between the posts to place the Scots in
a one-point lead. Four minutes of
laying time had passed.

Kicking Duel Begins

O'Dell kicked for the Scots as the
game opened again in mid-field, and
McGhee and Hudson began the first
of their line-smashing drives for the
Scottie goal. Failing in power plays, the
Wesleyan gridmen tried a kick, which
was blocked. Maryville recovered, and
O'Dell booted the ball for 35 yards
into Bulldog territory. Wesleyan ran
one end play, then kicked to the Mary-
ville ten. The ball rolled over the
goal, and was brought to the 20-yaM
line, as Wesleyan called time.
Wesleyan Drives Over

After play was resumed. Overly
went through the line for two short
gains, then O'Dell kicked to Wesleyan's
36. The play was called back, and a
five-yard penalty called on Wesleyan
for offsides. Overly then crashed the
line for Maryville's second first down
of the game.

Overly and Crawford hit the line for
two short gains, then the Scotties
kicked again. Wesleyan returned the
ball to their own 42 on the kick, and
began ancAher of their, sensational
drives, which ended in a touchdown
scored by Hudson, Bulldog quarter.
The kick was good, raising the score
to 13-7.

Wesleyan kicked to Maryville, and
the ball was returned on running plays
about eight yards as the quarter ended.
Burris Injured

The second quarter found the Scots
in a scoring position on the Wesleyan
2-yard stripe after thre plays. On the
fourth down, with goal to go, O'Dell
passed over the goal line, but the
throw was incomplete, and the ball
went to Wesleyan on their own 20.

Hudson of Wesleyan got away on the
second play for a 30 yard jaunt, but
the ball was returned and a five-yard
penalty called on the Bulldogs. They
kicked, and Burris received, and was
hurt when tackled. Maryville called
time, and Baird replaced Burris in the
Scot backfield.

-RAILROADS

Welcome New Ideas

Young people today should find much to their liking in the
policies of management adopted by our modern railroads.
Nothing is sacred merely because it is old. Policies are based
solidly upon the test-tube findings of current public useful-
ness and favor. • Consider these evidences of railway
experimentation: Reduced fares, faster and more convenient
schedules, streamline trains, added comfort and beauty in
passenger equipment, lower-priced meals, air-conditioning,
free pillows for coach passengers, free pick-up and delivery
of less-than-carload freight — such innovations bring luster
to the long-held railway advantages of safety, economy and
dependability. • The Illinois Central System is especially
proud of its Green Diamond, $425,000 mile-a-minute stream-
line train recently placed in service. It has been called a
rolling laboratory, in which will be worked out principles
affecting the development of
future passenger transporta-
tion, and it embodies the latest
findings of science in a wide
variety of fields. Favorably
received, it gives every promise
of fulfilling its chosen mission.
• Thus deeds give proof of prog-
ress and confirm the skilled
determination of railway man-
agement and personnel to keep
in the very forefront of trans-
portation. American railroads
in such ways are daily justify-
ing their kinship with the
college and university world.

REMINDER...

Education today must keep in
touch with the railroads.

Fundamentals everybody ought
to know are what the railroads
mean as carriers, employers, tax-
payers, purchasers, fields of
investment and foundations of
national defense.

Educators especially should
remember that railway taxes
keep 1,600,000 students in
school; that railway bonds are
the backlog of many an endowed
institution; that the railroads
today, in keeping with the spirit
of ali true education, are forging
ahead progressively to new goals.

Students Seen Shopping
Proflitt's Features Raincoats

By Helen Woodward

There is an innovation on the paper
this year in the form of this shopping
column, designed especially to suit
the needs of the students, collectively
and individually. With the school well
under way it is about time Maryville
college students are turning their atten-
tion to the question of spending money,
now that bills are paid, or, at least,
payment of such has been postponed!
A Saturday afternoon tour of Broad-
way convinced me that guidance in
shopping is badly needed, from the per-
plexed looks of prospective student
buyers who were seen looking into
store windows and examining counter
displays.

It is impossible to place undue em-
phasis on the importance of drug
stores in the student life on any cam-
pus. I find it hard to tell whether drug
stores are the cause or the effect of so
many good-looking girls. At any rate,
many of such are always in Martin's,
and I think I know why. The hot
chocolate there would be hard to re-
sist after classes on October afternoons,
especially with the hospitality always
shown at Martin's. And speaking of
eating, an ideal place is the back din-
ing-room at Eslinger's, where privacy
for any number of people is assured, to
say nothing of the radio and other
entertainment provided.
\m*„ — .... ...

Shows are an important part of any
student's life, and I'll let you in on a
good one coming to the Capitol soon,
in fact, Monday and Tuesday the RKO
Radio picture, "Swing Time," with
Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. Be-
sides this showing of Rogers and
Astaire at their best, six new song hits
by Jerome Kern are introduced. Later
in the week you will have the oppor-
tunity of seeing Shirley Temple in
"Dimples," with Frank Morgan, Helen
Westley, and Stepin Fetchit, so be sure
to save out part of your allowance to
see these two pictures!

With the rainy season at Maryville

WESLEYAN

(Continued on page three)
Maryville uncorked a double-pass
play to resume the game, but the ball
was intercepted, and fell to Wesleyan.
Hudson Scores Again
Wesleyan then started an aerial
attack which was broken up on the
10-yard stripe when Baird batted down
a Bulldog pass. The next play found
the ball given to the Scots on downs,
on their own 20.

Maryville tried two running plays
and a pass, and was forced to kick.
On the first play, Hudson of Wesleyan
eluded the entire Highlander backfield
to gallop 65 yards for Wesleyan's third
score. The kick was good, and the
score stood at 20-7.

Wesleyan kicked to Crawford to re-
sume play, and the ball was jockeyd
between the two elevens during the
rest of the second period. When the
whistle was blown, Wesleyan held the
baii in midfield.

McGhee Scores Twice
The second half was a repetition of
the second quarter, with Hudson and
McGhee of Wesleyan plunging through
a tiring Scottie line for long running
gains. Wesleyan's first score came in
the middle of the third quarter, as
McGhee went through the Scottie line
from the 2-yard stripe. Wesleyan
passed over the goal for the extra point.
The score stood at 27-7.

After Maryville lost the ball on an
intercepted pass shortly after, Hudson
and McGhee advanced the ball to the
Scotties' 10 from where McGhee took
the ball over on two line plunges.
The kick was good, raising the score
to 34-7.

Aerial Game Fails
Maryville received, and started a
thrilling aerial attack that advanced the
ball to Wesleyan's 32, where Stone,
Bulldog back, intercepted a pass to give
the ball to Wesleyan and to start
another of the drives that ended when
Simpson, back, crossed the Scottie dou-
ble stripes for the sixth and last touch-
down of the game. Wesleyan attempted
a run for goal, but was held. The score
advanced to 40-7.

Maryville held the ball for most of
the remaining time, but were unable
to present a stbring threat/. Thjey
kicked to Wesleyan, who returned the
ball for short gains in two rushes as

Death of Dr. Cummings

(Continued from page one)
ber 3, 1902, in India, where his father
was at that time a missionary Under
the United Presbyterian church. His
parents returned to America when he
was a boy, because of the illness of his
mother. . He attended high school in
New York, and college at the West-
minster college in New Wilmington,
Pennslyvania, where his grandfather
had been a professor, and where var-
ious members of his family had at-
tended.

He received the degrees of Master of
Sacred Theology and Doctor of Sacred
Theology from Biblical seminary in
New York, where his father is a pro-
fessor. For six years following, he
was on the faculty of Trinity college
of Texas, and for three years of this
time he was head of the Department of
Religious Education there. He came to
Maryville as Director of Personnel in
August, 1935. He had three children.
His Death A Tragedy
Dr. Cummings' death has dealt a
tragic blow to Maryville's student body.
In an interview granted yesterday, Dr.
Lloyd stated that "Dr. Cummings
gave every evidence of becoming one
of Maryville's finest and most useful
officers. His tragic illness and death is
a tremendous shock and loss."

A memorial service will be held in
the chapel tonight at eight o'clock.

it is planned that the girls will take
turns superintending Mrs. Snyder's
office afternoons from 1:00 to 3:00,
leaving this time free for her.

The page commitee has developed a
method of calling dates before social
functions. The work of this committee
has been welcomed by the girls, as
well as by their escorts. Through the
household committee needed repairs
and improvements in the building are
reported.

The first and most important social
sponsored by the new organization was
the tea given in honor of Miss Mary
E. Caldwell Thursday afternoon of
last week, at which time a leather desk
set was presented to the former Dean
of Women and head of Pearsons hall.
At this tea were present, besides the
guest of honor, the present head of
Pearsons, the matrons of the three
girls' dormitories, the women faculty
members, and the girls of Pearsons.
Other smaller entertainments have
been given in the hall.

The Pearsons student government
bids fair to be successful. So far a
spirit of cooperation on the part of all
concerned has been manifested, and
it is believed that this spirit will
continue.

McMurray Presides

Professor McMurray, referee of the
match, introduced Curtmarie Brown as
a Republican speaker. Curtmarie
thought for a moment that she would
have to make some drastic changes
extempore in her speech, which was
a pure defence of the President. But
Professor McMurray saved Curtmarie 's
political integrity by correcting him-
self. Curtmarie ripped the canvas off
Landon's covered wagon and suggested
that we buy only cellophane-wrapped
goods, so that we can see what's in-
side. The Democratic campaign mana-
ger claims that Curtmarie Brown's
speech switched ten safely Republican
states over to Roosevelt. That must
leave Landon with about five states
i less than none. The Republican cam-
paign manager asserts that Curtmarie's
speech switched the whole Roosevelt
family over to Landon.

Ernest Crawford, Republican, was the
last speaker. He fearlessly answered the
charges of Walter West and Curtmarie,
and threw back a fistful of counter-
charges. The Roosevelt supporters, of
which there were a few, took Ernest's
speech like good sports, regarding him
merely as a nice boy who got mixed
up with bad company.

The rally was a disappointment to
the Maryville hospital— no casualties
at all; but from the standpoint of all
other parties it was a howling, shout-
ing success!

"Graustark" To Be~
Athenian's Play

Midwinter Cast Selected;
Black, Obert to Lead

The cast of the Athenian midwinter,
"Graustark", announced after the try-
outs this week, promises to be one of
the best to be seen on the Hill this sea-
son. LeRoy Obert, who will be re-
membered for his excellent work in
"The Late Christopher Bean" two
years ago, will carry the leading role,
opposite Lois Black, who played ex-
ceptionally well in "The Stubbornness
of Geraldine" last year,

"Graustark", a play by Grace Hay-
ward, is taken from the first of a
series of romances based upon the
mythical kingdom of Graustark, by
George Barr McCutcheon. Many peo-
ple on the Hill have expressed great
interest in the play, after having read
the book.

The partial cast is as follows: Gren-
fall Lorry by LeRoy Obert; Harry
Anguish by Gerald Beaver; Prince
Lorenz by Russell Stevenson; Sitzky
by Malcolm Brown; Ostrom by James
McNeel; Prince Gabriel by Robert
Goff; Princess Yetive by Lois Black;
Countess Dagmar by Martha Sue
Cornett; Therese by Marion Lodwick.

Stage manager for the play will be
Maxwell Cornelius. The business man-
agers will be Robert McKibben and
John Stafford.

The date for the performance has not
yet been approved.

Junior Class To
Hold Hallowe'en
Party Off Campus

Busses and Trucks Will

Convey Group To

Kinzel Springs

Promising to be the most outstanding
social event in many years, the
Hallowe'en party of the junior class,
under the initiative and leadership of
Winford Ross, piesident, will be held
at Kinzel springs, in the Great Smoky
mountains, seventeen miles east of
Maryville. Dave Brittain, senior class
president, and Ross have both em-
phasized the gratitude due to Mrs.
Snyder and Dean Hunter for the pri-
vileges granted, and have stressed the
importance of the full cooperation of
both the senior and junior classes in
making the party a precedent- setting
success.

The plans of the committees are be-
ing completed. The group, expected to
be well over a hundred, will leave the
campus at four o'clock Saturday after-
noon in busses and trucks. A good
supper, cooked over a blazing camp-
fire on the side of the mountain, will
begin the activities of the evening.
Following the supper the group will
assemble at a pavillion, on the bank
of Little River, where members of
both classes and the chaperones will
contribute to the Hallowe'en program.
The trucks will return to the campus
at ten-thirty Saturday night, under
the light of a full moon.

10:

Since only 200 students indicated
their intention to attend the Tennes-
see-Maryville football game in Knox-
ville on November 7, plans for a
special train were cancelled. The Pep
committee has arranged with the White
Star line for busses, however, and has
secured the same round- trip fare of
fifty cents.

The busses will leave the campus
about one o'clock, and will return im-
mediately after the game. A special
section in the concrete stands will be
reserved for Maryville supporters.

As it is doubtful whether transpor-
tation for more than 200 students can
be secured, it is necessary that the
money for bus tickets be paid this
week to Joan Dexter, Marcella Arden,
Win Ross, Bill Young, or Dave Brittain.
Although tickets for the game may be
bought at any time, no reservations
for transportation at tha special rate
can be made after this week.

With Julius Huehn, leading baritone of the Metropolitan Opera company,
as the attraction, Maryville college opens this year's Artist series on Tuesday
evening, November 10, in Voorhees chapel.

Although Huehn has been with the Metropoliton only since December, 1935,
his interpretations have already won for him the highest praise. During his
first season he has given twenty-four performances and seven roles, including
Escamillo in "Carmen," opposite Rosa Ponselle, Kurwenal in "Tristram and
Isolde," opposite Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchair, and

Sharpless in "Butterfly," in a cast in-S?

eluding Richard Crooks and Suzanne
Fisher. In "Gianni Schicchi," he fol-
lowed Lawrence Tibbet, singing this
important role in English. His debut
with the Metropolitan Opera was in the
role of the Herald in "Lohengrin."

Huehn has appeared as soloist with
the Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, and
Philadelphia, and Duluth Symphony
orchestras, and haS been featured on a
number of outstanding broadcasts, in-
cluding the Ford hour. His reputation
is established as one of America's fore-
most oratorio baritones, while in con-
cert and recital his fame is just as
great. Critics everywhere praise his
rich voice, which possesses an even
quality throughout a long scale rang-
ing from resonate bass depths to a top
register which is clear and unforced.

Early Life In Pittsburgh

Huehn attributes his remarkable
voice to the good New England air at
his birthplace in Revere, Mass. How-
ever, he imagines his extraordinary
volume to be the result of practicing

Alumnus Relates Intimate Childhood

(riences With Young Julius Huehn

Lxpei

By WALTER WEST

Maryville may mean little to Julius
Heuhn, Metropolitan baritone who
sings here November 10th, when he
sees it on his itinerary. Yet, it may
mean a meeting — the first in several
years — with old boyhood playmate and
school chum, an alumnus of Maryville.

In a letter received recently by the
Echo, Charles Gillander, member of the
class of '35, tells of his experiences with
the tall, handsome singer as a boy, and
gives some interesting sidelights on his
character.

The two first met when Julius was
a new student in the Snodgrass school
in Pittsburgh, in the fall of 1918. One
of <^e things that drew the boys to-
gether was discovered that day — they
were both the same age and had the
same birthday. Julius Heuhn wasn't

a fighter. Ho explained he could never
fight hard when he knew he was in
the wrong. The war spirit invaded the
school, and while young Julius got his
share of the calumny heaped upon
those of German extraction, the young-
er element welcomed him into their
games. One of the humorous incidents
recalled by Mr. Gillander is a battle
with the "gang" from a tough neigh-
borhood, who drove Charlie, Julius and
their friends from their trenches.

Mr. Heuhn, growing up, exhibited
two arts, so Mr. Gillander relates. He
was very adept in stealing his friend's
girls and in carving artistic Indian
heads in the concrete sidewalks. At
fourteen. Mr. Heuhn played saxa-
phone in a jazz band. But the aesthetic
was not all that appealed to Julius

Founder of Alpha

Coincident with the general activities
on the campus over the Founder's Day
program, Dr. John Grant Newman,
class of '88 and founder of Alpha Sigma
in 1882, will be present to address his
old society in Alpha Sigma hall at one
o'clock tomorrow.

After opening the program, the pre-
sident, Don Hallam, will turn the meet-
ing over to Dr. Newman, who will con-
duct the remainder of the exercises.
The program will include the unveil-
ing of an enlarged portrait of Dr. New-
man, who will also make the princi-
pal address. Dr. Lloyd, president of the
society during his college career at
Maryville, will also be present to say
a few words.

Julius Heuhn worked to earn his musi-
cal education, and he was rewarded by
winning the Atwater-Kent audition for
Pennsylvania. Shortly after hi.s victory,
Mr. Gillander saw him the last time |
when the singer was included on the ,
program of Christmas muFic at Pitts- '

tenseness of tragedy.

The story centers around Elizabeth,

of each other's power. From such a

Founders Day Exercises To

Pay Honor to College's

Third President

A Founder's day service, a barbecue,
and a football game are scheduled for
the annual homecoming of Maryville's
alumni today and Saturday, it has been
announced.

Arrangements have been made for
all the former Maryvillians returning
to their Alma Mater to register in the
Alumni gymnasium at four thirty this
afternoon. At five, weather permitting,
a barbecue will be held on the baseball
field.

"No pains have been spared to make
it a great success," Mr. Joseph Gamble,
'26, in charge of homecoming arrange-
ments said, "and the college band has
been engaged to furnish music for the
occasion."

The barbecue will be followed by the
football game between Maryville and
East Tennesee Teachers college, which
promises to be one of the most colorful
of the season, as it marks the first ap-
pearance of the reorganized thirty-
eight-piece college band in new garnet
and white uniforms.

College Players in the near future,
are well under way. Florence Butman,
stage manager, will be assisted by
Maxwell Cornelius and Wililam Rath.
Dorothea Stadlemann will act as pro-
perty manager and Clara Balcolm,
wardrobe mistress.

Elaborate settings, both interior and
exterior, will include that of a typical
French haberdasher's shop, a Parisian
home, the boudoir of a country villa,
and the background of a toll gate near
Paris.

The unusual settings and frequent
change of scenes in this play combine
to make the duties of those in charge
difficult. A great amount of originality
and many hours of work will be re-
quired.

Gloria Miller and Gordon Bennet
will play the leading parts.

"WE BELIEVE that there is constructive, creative
criticism at a point midway between unsympathetic
ridicule and unbounded idealism, where lies the medium
of journalistic comment; that this medium should be
employed by all reporting."

Thus reads a part of the credo of the Highland Echo,
published in its first issue of this year, and reprinted for
emphasis. What we, as a staff and as a publication, wish
to place before the student body of Maryville is this: the
Highland Echo has as its purpose the accurate recording
of all events of importance on the campus; in reporting
such events, it strives to be fair and unbiased, and re-
mains non-partisan in all its dealings.

Through an organized staff, the Echo endeavors to
cover the campus activities, and to record them with no
consideration for personal affiliations. Those who do
things will receive credit; and, as usual, those who fail
to do will criticize. THE HIGHLAND ECHO DOES NOT
PURPOSE TO BE PARTIAL TO ANY PERSON,
GROUP, OR ORGANIZATION AT MARYVILLE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Editor

The Highland Echo:

It occurs to me that students and
faculty would like to know a little
concerning the sad mission which
took me to Pennsylvania.

The funeral service of Dr. Cum-
mings was at the home of Mrs.
mings' father, Rev. McClure, pas-
tor of the United Presbyterian
church. It was in charge of an
uncle, President McNaugher, of the
Pittsburgh-Zenia Theological semi-
nary, who gave a strong message
of Christian faith. The pastor of
the local Presbyterian Church
offered prayer; a college mate of
Dr. Cummings spoke of their
mutual friendship; I told of his
work and life at Maryville; and
another friend took part in the
service at the cemetery, where his
body was laid to rest on a hill
overlooking the valley and the
town of Blairsville.

I was told that the operation in
Detroit revealed a very desperate
condition and that he has suffered
much during the recent weeks. For
some two weeks before his death
he was unconscious most of the
time. Being unable to take any
nourishment, he became very, very
thin.

Just now I recall especially two
things told me. One was by Mrs.
Cumming's father who said, "John
Cummings was the most patient
man I have ever known; he did
not utter a word of complaint at
any time." The other was by Dr.
Cummings' father who said, "When
John learned of the nature of his
illness it was a terrific blow to
him. But after a few days he said
he was so confident of God's love
in Christ that his spirit had found
the peace which Christ promised
to such. Although hopeful that
God would heal him that he might
continue his work, yet John went
away with the joy of Chii m in his
heart."

To the Editor of the Highland Echo:

As secretary of Athenian Literary
society, I have been instructed
to submit to you a statement
written by a committee of three
members. This commitee was ap-
pointed as a result of a motion
passed at our last meeting, to pre-
sent to the Highland Echo the
Society's reasons for not adopting
a certain proposal. The statement is
representative of the general
opinion of the Society, and will, I
believe, explain itself.

Because of recent comments,
Athenian Literary society wishes
to present its reasons for not adopt-
ing the plan of the presentation
of a cup by the four societies to
the most outstanding actor or stage
manager of the year. The plan was
rejected because:

(1) It picks out one individual
from the cast and sets him above
the others. We feel that the entire
cast should be honored.

(2) If there is to be an individual"^
award, it should be presented by a ft
specific society and should apply
only to members of that society.

(3) It tends to emphasize indivi-
dual effort instead of co-operation
within a society.

(4)^1 is impossible to compare
the workN»{ a stage manager with
that of the outstanding actor of any
play.

(5) The number of rhose eligible
for the cup is limited to a small
minority, thus making the efforts of
only a privileged few possible for
recognition.

The society respectfully requests

that this statement be published in

a prominent position in the paper.

Sincerely yours,

Marvin Minear, Secretary

Athenian Literary Society.

And now a little story for some of
our noble critics . . . Firstly, every-
thing in this column must be read in
the same spirit in which it is written
. . . Yorick does not sneer, he laughs;
and he hopes you'll laugh too . . .
When he sketches a poor program or
a person he does so as Yorick alone,
not as the Echo, Alpha Sigma, or any-
thing else . . . When the supersensi-
tive feel injured by our prattlings, we
can only regret the thinness of their
hides . . . There are those who find
fault in the football broadcaster; in
Yorick's inability to comment on every
person or clique every week . . . An
analysis of the basis of such criticism
reveals only too quickly the attempts
of said critics to inflate their own
egos at the expense of others . . . Need
more be said . . .

HUEHN TO SING

(Continued from page one)
his singing in a steel mill run by his
father in Pittsburgh, where the Huehn
family moved when Julius was a young
lad.

Won Radio Contest

Within a year he won the Pittsburgh
and Pennsylvania prizes in a national
radio contest. Soon after, he won a
fellowship to the Juillard Graduate
School, in New York, and continued
his study of music under Mme. Schoen-
Rene. While there, he was chosen to
create the leading baritone roles in the
world-premieres of the Erskine-Gru-
enberg "Jack and the Beanstalk," and
the Erskine-Antheil "Helen Retires".
These two sterling performances start-
ed Huehn on his successful professional
career. From that time his future was
assured.

Attractive Personality

Huehn is a powerfully-built man,
measuring six feet four inches in
height. He played tackle and guard on
his college football team. The distinc-
tion is his of being the tallest singer
and the youngest baritone at the
Metropolitan Opera house. His dark
hair, blue eyes, and engaging smile
have earned him the reputation of be-
ing as pleasant to look at as he is to
listen to.

Julius Huehn will, be followed in the
Artist series by Josef Hofmann, world-
famous pianist, on February 24, and
by Anna Kaskas, contralto of the
Metropolitan Opera company, on April
17.

so it proves here, with all the craftiness
of Elizabeth pitted against the great
cleverness and popularity of Essex.

Bainonian feels sure of an excellent
performance, with a good cast selection.
Tryouts held during the arly part
of the week have been completed with
the choice of the following cast:
Elizabeth, Lois Brown; Essex, Walter
West; Lord Cecil, Evan Renne; Pene-
lope Gray, Carol Dawn Ward; Sir
Walter Raleigh, Edward Brubaker;
Francis Bacon, Dave Brittain, Edward
Thomas will play the roles of Lord
Burghley and of Prince Henry. Other
parts wil be taken by Arda Walker,
Albert Cashion, Virginia Pennington,
Dick Woodring, Robert McKibben,
William McGill, William Karukas,
Mary Chambers, and Sadie Callahan.
The selection of a player for the part
of the fool is yet to be made.

The Student Council held its first
meeting in Bainonian hall on April 3,

New Orchestra Features
Novelty, Popular Music

Men interested in forming a jazz
orchestra to be sponsored by the Social
committee met in the chapel on Tues-
day evening. Bill Downes will direct,
and, in cooperation with Bob Cusworfh
and Bill Austin, will handle organiza-
tion plans to submit to the committee.

Downes has anounced that Marian
Huddleston, local freshman, will sing
with the orchestra, and a male trio U
also expected to assist. The orchestra
will specialize in novelty arrangements
when it opens its season in about two
weeks. A nominal sum will be charged j
for engagements, to purchase music
and supplies for the group.

We are sorry that George E. Mc-
Millan, a popular member of the Fresh-
man class, has found it necessary to re-
turn home.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO OCTOBER 30, 1936

Welcome back, grads !

We've so many things that we'd like to tell each of you,
about this and that and the other, but time does not per-
mit, and so we'll confine ourselves to a brief salutation,
and the hope that this season of returning to the old
campus will bring back many of the more pleasant
memories of life to you.

Writing on the eve of a great football struggle always
places your editor in a nervous strain. It's just like the
moment of suspense before Professor Walker puts the

first Physics question on the board. Only the result, generally, is different.
Never, though since we first lifted pen, in writing of the Scotties have we
felt so optimistic about the outcome of today's struggle.

Somehow, Ex-halfback Steve Boretsky sounded that note of hopefulness
when he recited the history of Maryville versus ETT at pep session last night.
So, all in all, we're looking for great things on Wilson Field tonight.

WELCOME, ALUMNI

-r—

Harriers Weak In
Opening Race with
U. T. Vols Here

There's something that is as much alike hereabouts as anywhere else.
That something is, taking a leaf from Sportseditor Barney Ballard, the attempt
to get anything out of a football coach right before an important game. It was
that way when we puffed up beside Coach Honaker this morning, and inquired
as to what Coach thought of the game today.

"It's a beautiful day", quoth L. S., with that far-away look in his eyes.
After a while, though, he warmed up to his subject, and came forth with the
succint remark that "if those boys ever played football, they're going to have
to, tonight." And, confidentially, the coach confided to me that he'd really
like to take this game.

I<[s

ANNUAL AFFAIR

I(s being spread again! And, when we refer to "it", we refer to the annual
blotch of printer's ink that emanates from those worthy souls that would
abolish this brutal sport of college football. Tearfully, they cite instance upon
instance of injury and hurt; they bewail the professionalism by which inter-
collegiate sportdom is being gripped; and wind up, in a good old-fashioned
tear-throwing spree with the plea that colleges settle their sporting disputes
over the ping pong table.

* * *

It is indeed a pity that civilization should be visited by such a pestilence
as this sport of college football. Especially a civilization that is so advanced
as to harbor only such minor evils as war, strikes, and miscellaneous rioting.

i * » *

ALL-SMOKY ELEVEN

Something tells us that the result of the Scot-Teachers quarrel tonight
should go a long way toward deciding that all-important myth, the roster of
the All-Smoky Mountain Conference honor eleven. When two undefeated
Conference teams meet this late in the season, there is bound to be All-con-
ference material on one or both elevens. It is yet a little early to begin
plugging for the Scotties on that list, but we'll wager that those Highlanders
will be on the list when the final rating is made.

* . * *

NOTES FROM THE NOTABLES

Chatting over hotcakes this morning, your scribe found out quite a bit
about the doings of past Merry Villains this present season. Stu Snedecker,
former ace distance runner for the Scotties, hove up on the horizon from
Drew, where he is continuing study. Stu will be out to watch the Maryville
U. T. grind on the local distance course this afternoon.

Princeton sent four of Maryville's former bright lights to grace the campus
over the Homecoming period. Carl Fisher, Alex Christie, Bob Downes, and
Mike Testa smiled over their coffee and mumbled something about the rest
of the Princetoners being unable to come. Only the intelligentsia get to leave,

so it seems. i

• * «

And, to settle the rumor — Coach Honaker will not sign up the young
lassie who has been going through triple-threat actions with the footballers
this week. This run-pass-kick maiden has been upholding the abilities of the
fairer sex in a little exhibition this week. Wonders, my friends, will never

cease.

* * *

So we conclude— with three cheers for "Giant-killer" Colbert, who has
raised the pep notions of Scot fans 300 percent with his excellent work in the
band department this year. We wish his the greatest success in his debut with
the uniformed Scot horn blowers tonight.

Captain Talmage Expresses

Hope That Scot Distance

Men Will Hold Up

Opening their schedule against the
runners from U-T this afternoon the
Scottie cross-country team starts the
two-mile grind feeling strongly the
loss of Stu Snedeker, star runner of
last year's team.

Starting for Maryville are Talmage,
Meares, Orr, Rugh, Morgan, and
Mooney, the two latter freshmen. Re-
presenting the Vols are Hansard, Pick,
Acuff, Plunkett, and Richardson. On
acount of a bad side, Wood, promising
in practice, was unable to run.

In their first meet of the season last
week the Vol runners defeated the
turfmen from LMU, proving themselves
a real threat in the path of the High-
landers.

Following a return engagement with
U-T at Knoxville next Friday the
Maryville Scotties will stay home to
fight for individual honors in the Cake
race the following week. The only re-
maining meets then will be two with
LMU, one there and the final here.

While the team has not been show-
ing up in practice as well as was ex-
pected, it has developed steadily. In
the tryouts last week the times made by
the two leading runners over the three-
mile course were: Talmage, 16 min-
utes, 38 seconds; Meares, 16 minutes,
59 seconds. In the two- mile run both
Talmage and Meares bettered eleven
minutes.

Scots Seek SMC Crown In
Teachers Struggle Tonight

Injuries Eliminate Parker;

Regulars Bothered By

Minor Ailments

Climaxing Maryville's Homecoming
program, a fighting Highlander grid
team tonight marches against the
strong East Tennesee Teachers in an
effort to wrest Smoky Mountain leader-
ship from the Buccaneers' grasp.

A crowd of 3000, including hundreds
of former Maryville students, is expect-
ed to see the game, which starts on
Wilson Field at 7:30.

Coming back after a 40-7 defeat by
Tennessee Wesleyan, the Scots will pro-
bably enter the game as underdogs.
Although halfback Don Parker is the
only regular who will be kept out of
the game because of injuries, several
other members of the squad have been
bothered this week with ailments
serious enough to hurt the Scots'
chances. These include Bruce Alex-
ander, star end, and Al Burris, quarter-
back, who were injured in the Wesle-
yan onslaught; James Etheredge and
Bill Baird, freshman backs; Bill Cooper,
center hurt in scrimmage last week;
and Junior Odell, ace kicker, whose
punting has been hampered by a leg
injury received last Friday.

Add to this the fact that the Hona-
kermen are facing one of the season's

man team lost to the Sophomore team
on Thursday. They will meet the
Junior-Senior team next Tuesday in
the last game of the tournament.

The activities for women's sports
have been outlined for the remainder
of the semester and include:

Aerial Dart-Nov. 5, 10, 12, 17, open
to all girls

Stunts— Nov. 22, 24, open to all girls

Basketball— Nov. 29 — Ian. 25.

toughest opponents in Coach Gene Mc-
Murray's crew and you have all the
indications of a rough evening ahead
for Maryville.

On the other hand the Scots will be
on the rebound after having all the
cockiness taken out of them by Wesle-
yan. Referred to by Coach Honaker
"green but full of spirit", they are set
on downing their traditional foe to-
night. Then, too, those seniors — Alex-
ander, Hall, Coulter, Kosloski, Cap-
tain Crawford, and the rest — would
like to keep alive what chances they
have to grab the Conference crown this
year.

A look at the records of the two
teams gives very little basis for a
choice, one way or the other.

The Teachers bring to Maryville a
record of five wins, four of them with-
in the conference, against no losses.
They have scored 68 points to none
for the opposition, being the only
Smoky Mountain team with an un-
crossed goal line. Starting with a 45-0
rout of Lees-McRae, the Teachers
followed with four straight conference
wins, trouncing Cullowhee 2-0, Car-
son-Newman 2-0, King 6-0, and Tus-
culum 13-0. Their outstanding per-
formers in these games have been Kil-
day and Congdon, punt-blocking line-
men; Lucas, a line plunger and kicker
deluxe; and Walker, the quarterback.
Two Maryville boys, Bill Anderson and
Carson Webb, have also starred in the
Teacher backfield.

The Scots, facing much stronger op-
position, have had an even hundred
points marked against them, while
scoring 76 for themselves. After drop-
ping a 54-3 decision to Kentucky they
won four in a row, beating Hiwassee
27-0, Tusculum 13-0, Cullowhee 19-0,
and Milligan 7-6, before losing to Ten-
nessee Wesleyan 7-40.

Founder's Day Specials

Fall Clothes at Chandler's

Visit the "Y Shoppe"

By Helen Woodward

The interest of your shopping col-
umnist, along with the interest of all
the student body, centers this week
around Homecoming and Founders
day. And why not, for this should be a
gala occasion, especially when Hallo-
we'en follows so closely.

To be correctly dressed for the
activities of the week-end, all men
should have an outfit from Chandler-
Singleton's. For sports wear there are
wool and leather jackets, which range
in price from $2.95 to $8.95, making
it possible for every man to afford
one. The wool jackets come in stripes
and plaids, while the leather jackets
are plain black or brown, suiting the
individual taste. Sweaters are priced
from $1.69 to $4.95.

Conservatism seems to be coming
into its own again, at least in some
lines, such as shirts. Chandler-Single-
ton's shirts are in the new and more
modest colors, and may be had for
$1.00 to $1.95. There are flashy sus-
penders to match any outfit, reasonab-
ly priced at 50 cents. Wilson Leathers
will beglad to sell anything to you.

a. —

Birthday parties are always in
vogue, with 600 people on the Hill all
to have at least one birthday within
the 365 days of a year. If you want to
make a festive occasion festive, go to
Elder's for an angel food, price 39
cents, or a layer cake for 48 cents, to
say nothing of apples (25 cents a gal-
lon) and candy.

STRAW VOTE

(Continued from page one)
fied by Walter West and Helen Wood-
ward for use in the political science
classes. The general answers to the
questions will be published in the next
edition of the Highland Echo. They
will give the vote by states, the num-
ber of voters who are partially de-
pendent upon the government for
their income, how their parents voted
in 1928 and 1932, and the students'
reasons for voting as they did.

The results of the election come as
somewhat of a surprise to many of the
members of the faculty, who recall
the election of 1932 in which Maryville
college went overwhelmingly Repub-
lican when the nation gave Roosevelt
the greatest majority ever given a
presidential candidate. The poll shows
a decided shift toward the Democratic
party, when compared with the 1932
election in the college.

That much interest was evidenced in
the student poll by local people is
shown by the fact that several news-
papers sent reporters to cover the
election. The Knoxville News- Sentinel
had several pictures taken of the
voting booth and the Maryville news-
papers vied for the outcome as being
a "scoop."

FITS AND FIZZLES

Things to eat seem to be getting the
attention this week. For a real col-
legiate repast go down to Turner's
any time of the day or night for a
famous five-cent hamburger, or home-
made pie, five cents a cut.

To quote a famous figure, "October
is the time for ghosts, witches, and
parlor dates." Nothing could be more
satisfying for a parlor date than some
of Byrne's Hallowe'en candy, which
comes in 50 cent, 75 cent, and $1.00
boxes.

And, finally, we come to the girls'
"Y Shoppe," or that is, I hope we do!
With Founder's day, managers Lewis
and Hensley are featuring a special
opening, with hot chocolate, sand-
wiches made for the occasion, all
served at tables! Follow the crowd to
the "Y Shoppe," and enjoy the wel-
come awaiting you there. And say it
was your shopping columnist who sent
you!

HUEHN'S CHILDHOOD

(Continued from page one)
on the threshold of his great triumph,
his father passed away. It was a great
blow to the singer. However, his
mother and two sisters are today proud
of the success Julius has attained. Yes,
there is a Mrs. Heuhn, but she is not
either of the two girls Julius effectively
took from Charlie Gillander.

Since that Christmas pageant, Charlie
Gillander and Julius Heuhn have not
met; but Charlie hopes to be able to
come down from Chicago for the con-
cert on November 10th, when the bari-
tone voice of Julius Heuhn will thrill
a Maryville audience, as it has thrilled
thousands in the golden horseshoe of
the Met.

THE STARS OF "AH

ANOTHER HAPPY HIT!

By FRED RHODY

They call this Homecoming Day, but
as far as we're concerned that isn't
till December 16 — College-bred: four-
year loaf, — usually half-baked. — Of
course you grads have heard about the
worried absent-minded prof on the
Hill who hid his head in his hands and
forgot where he put it — and almost
starved before he found it.

— M. C—

Half minute interviews with Mary-
ville college graduates who have made
good —

Question. Mr. Oldgrad, I hear you are
making good as a funds solicitor for a
well-known charity organization. What
is your system for extracting contribu-
tions from unsympathetic prospects?
Answer. I merely use various parts,
which I have memorized, of the letters
I sent Dad while I was here at college —
Question. Mr. Jones, I'm certain that
Maryville has just cause to be proud
of an up-and-coming-man like you.
No doubt you have already reached the
top in your work?

Answer. Oh, yes, many times. I'm run-
ning an elevator in an office building —

Visitors, be not alarmed, That mys-
terious figure you see prowling the
campus is only Knox Coit. He's in-
vestigating charges that Landon's
victory in the college straw vote has
the result of a huge cash contribution
by the Liberty league to the campus
Republican campaign.

JUNIOR PARTY

(Continued from page one)

Wednesday morning, Ross, Don Ste-
vens, and Helen Maguire emphasized
the necessity of wearing warm, old
clothes and bringing blankets. The
entire party it to be "dutch", the girls
being expected to cooperate in re-
lieving the men of part of their al-
ready heavy financial burden, due to
the rush of activities at this time of
the year. A dating bureau will be
established to encourage stags, men
and women, to attend.

The chaperones for the party will
be: Miss Green, Mrs. Snyder, Dr.
Hunter, Prof. Lagerstedt, and Dr. Pres-
ton. Besides Winford Ross, general
chairman, and Dave' Brittain, the
various committees are: Program,
Connie Johnson, Helen Maguire; Food,
Marcella Ardern; Decorations, Mary
Frances Dewell; Cleanup, Don Rugh;
Tickets, Edith Pierce, Don Stevens,
Shirley Jackson, Dave Brittain.

In case of adverse weather condi-
tions, the party will be held in Mary-
ville. Class dues payments, or pro-
mises, are being required of both

Folk-lore Meet
Held On Campus
First Time Today

Members Read Papers On

Proverbs, Ballads ;

Groups Sing

The third annual meeting of the
Tennessee Folk-lore society opened its
sessions on the campus this morning
at 9:30. The session this afternoon began
at 2 o'clock. Meetings were held in
Miss Johnson's classroom in Thaw hall.
The former sessions of the society have
been held at Tennessee Polytechnic
institute in Cookeville.

The society was organized three
years ago to further the study of the
folk-lore of the natives of Tennessee
and the eastern Applachian region.
Officers of the present organization
are: Dr. Charles S. Pendleton, Head of
the English department of George
Peabody college, Nashville, president;
Dr. E. R. Hunter, Head of the English
department of Maryville college, vice-
president; and Professor T. J. Farr, of
the History department of the Ten-
nessee Polytechnic Institute, Cooke-
ville, secretary-treasurer.

"Come Stag,
Come Dated,
But Come!"

By FRED RHODY

Feeling chipper? Blue? Love? Or
are you still sane? Whatever your
state of mind, heart, or pocket-
book may be, forget your troubles
and laugh away exam goblins by
following the crowds to the com-
munity sing in Voorhee's chapel
at eight o'clock this evening.

This campus activity has been
only recently instituted, but it has
already proved to be one of the
most popular events on the hill.
The spirit at the song-fests has
been very encouraging, and bigger
and better good times are looked
for. With John Magill leading and
Gerald Beaver and Charles Blair
at the pianos, a lively crowd in the
seats is the only thing needed to
put vim, vigor and pep into an
otherwise dull Saturday evening.

As a special feature for this
evening, John Magill has planned
to have the very popular college
quartet present to entertain in the
customary fine style.

For those of us who entertain no
illusions of ourselves as golden
tenors or nightingale sopranos, as
well as for those more gifted musi-
cally, John intends to use an all-
star, hit parade of old-time
favorites, Among them are "Long,
Long Trail," "Bells of St. Mary's,"
"Reuben and Rachel," "Fair Thee
Well", "Harvest Moon," "Auld Lang
Syne," "Dear Old Maryville," and
others of the same sort.

For a rollicking good time to-
night, gargle your tonsils, brush
your moustache out of the way,
and come to the community sing
in Voorhee's right after the society
meetings. Come stag, come dated,
come in droves — but come!

Societies To Give
Cup To Best Actor

"Aim of Award is Better
Acting"— Hallam

Alpha Sigma, Bainonian, arid Theta
Epsilon, college social societies, are at
work on plans for the presentation
of a cup for the best acting in this sea-
son's midwinter. "The cup, which is
to be of considerable value, is intended
to stimulate interest and to act as an
inducement to better acting in the
annual dramatic efforts of the societies,"
according to Don Hallam, president of
Alpha Sigma.

A very carefully worked out basis
of criticism has been formulated, by
which each individual participating
will be judged. The various criteria in-
clude interpretation, stage presence,
character work, and the sustention of
character throughout the play, enuci-
ation and audibility. A copy of this
list, with the accompanying percen-
tages by which their importance has
been scaled, will be in the hands of
each of the Theta Alpha Phi judges
who will as usual pick the best of the
four midwinter plays. The decision w'll
be made on the average of the figures
turned in by these members of the
faculty.

The name of the winner will be re-
leased at the close of the school year,
and the cup presented on the day when
awards are regularly made.

College Players Approach
Rehearsals' Completion

With five rehearsals each week, the
College players are making commen-
dable progress on their play, "The
Purple Mask," which will be given on
Friday evening, November 27. The
next two weeks will be spent largely
in polishing and grooming the minor
parts and details of the play.

In ■spite of the helpful cooperation
of the local business houses, stage
manager Florence Butman is finding it
difficult to secure stage properties ap-
propriate to the time of Napoleon.
Costumes for the entire cast have been
ordered and are expected within the
next few days. The first dress re-
hearsals will be held on November 25.

The two leads, that of Armand and
Laurette, will be played by Gordon
Bennett and Gloria Miller.

Senior Graduates—

To Fatherhood

Immediately after receiving a tele-
gram stating that he was the father
of a baby girl, LeRoy Obert left college
for his home in Birmingham, Alabama,
to claim and name the child. He left
little or no word concerning his daugh-
ter (probably because he knew very
little) and as yet no information con-
cerning her has been received from
him.

LeRoy is a senior and a ministerial
student. After his graduation next
year he will probably attend the
Presbyterian seminary in Louisville,
Kentucky.

He was married last year, and his
wife is living with his family in
Birmingham.

Teacher Tells Reporter Of
Life With Helen Keller

Bill Morgan was elected president of
the Alpha Sigma society for the re-
mainder of the semester at a meeting
held in the society's hall last night at
6:45. The other officers elected at the
same time are: O. M. Teague, vice-
president; Howard Wickman, secretary;
Ray Nelson and Ed Lavender, program
secretaries; Bill Young and John Ma-
gill, critics; and Zigmund Savitski,
sergeant-at-arms.

Besides being the persident-elect of
Alpha Sigma, Morgan is very promi-
nent in the various activities of the
school. He is a Chemistry assistant,
treasurer of the senior class, was
editor-in-chief of last year's Chilho-
wean, president of the sophomore
class, and was a member of the Tennis
team his sophomore year.

Tonight at 6:45 in the Philosophy
classroom Professor Kenneth Lager-
stedt will give an illustrated lecture on
his recent trip to Germany at a joint
meeting of Alpha Sigma and Theta
Epsilon societies.

Has New Studio

The new Fine Arts studio in the
basement of Voorhees chapel was used
for the first time today when Miss
Katherine Davies and Miss Dorothy
Home presented students in recital.
Throughout the year informal recitals
of music or dramatic arts, as well as
meetings of various clubs, and the
regular courses in the history and ap-
preciation of music and speech will
meet in this room.

The studio, made from three prac-
tice rooms thrown together, has been
redecorated. Mrs. Lloyd, mother of
President Ralph Lloyd, has donated
hangings for the windows, and Mr.
Daniel Baker has presented three fine
reproductions of artistic masterpieces.

Special Music By Choir

Arranged For Vespers

Plans have been completed to have
a special musical program by the Ves-
per choir on the third Sunday in every
month. Tomorrow evening, the sche-
duled time for the new arrangement,
in addition to a short talk by Dr.
William P. Stevenson, the choir will
sing "Now Let All the Heavens Adore
Thee" by Bach; "Cherubim Song No.
Seven" by Boriansky; as well as, "Our
God, Our Help in Ages Past" by Watts,
as the processional, and "How Firm a
Foundation", 18th Century tune, the
recessional.

The special number will be "Ave

played by Edward Brubaker.

Kaskas Replaces
Huehn On Artist
Series Program

Contralto Opens Season

Nov. 23; Hofmann

Follows

The concert of Julius Huehn, Metro-
politan baritone, which was to have
taken place this week, has definitely
been postponed until April 27, it was
announced today. Telegrams from
Huehn's management stated that a
serious throat infection had forced him
to cancel several weeks of his winter
tour, but that it would be possible for
him to appear later in the season.

As a result of this change in schedule,
Anna Kaskas, brilliant young con-
tralto of the Metropolitan Opera asso-
ciation, will open the college Artist
series on November 23, instead of the
date previously announced. This will
not affect the performance of Josef
Hofmann, however, who will appear as
originally scheduled.

Band Makes Good
Showing At U. T.

Appearing for the first time in uni-
forms at a public function, the Mary-
ville college band was well received at
the Tennessee-Maryville football game
last Saturday. The band paraded dur-
ing the half, and received much favor-
able comment on its appearance and
ability.

Much courtesy and kindliness was
shown the Maryville supporters by
Tennessee. A large picture of Reba
Blazer, popular band sponsor, was run
in the News-Sentinel the following
day.

In addition to the band, about 150
students went to the game in the
special busses. It is estimated that near-
ly 300 students made the trip.

Story-Book Finish Given To

Last Home Tilt by Junior Odell

FIELD GOAL GIVES WINNING MARGIN

Entire Scot Squad Turns In Fine Performance In Turn-
ing Back Highly Favored King Aggregatioin
To End Home Season On Wilson Field

A fighting Highlander football team that just wouldn't
be beaten staged a last minute comeback yesterday to up-
set King's dreaded Tornado, 16-14.

Inspired by the great play of Capt. Corky Crawford,
the whole Scot team kept the crowd roaring a continuous
tribute to their fourth quarter efforts, which netted a
total of nine points.

The climax play came in the fourth quarter. Trailing
by one point, and with half of the period gone, the
Honakermen, despite their gallant battle, seemed to be

fighting a lost cause. It was here that Junior Odell, Scot kicking ace, took
a hand. After King had held the Scots for three plays inside the ten-yard line,
Odell stepped back and booted a perfect placement through the bars for the'
winning three points.

The first quarter was completely dominated by Maryville. King, after taking
the opening kickoff deep in their own territory, kicked out to Maryville's 45.
Cochrane's 35 yard pass to Odell put the ball on King's 20 yard line a few plays
later. The Scots were then halted temporarily by a pass interception but forced
King to punt, and came back downfield. Beginning on the 25 yard line, where
Baird had returned the kick, Crawford pounded the left side of King's line,
finally going from the two yard line.

Jack Overly drew a big cheer from the Maryville stands when he came in,
broken rib and all, to add the seventh point from placement.

Theta Midwinter
Cast Completed

"Craig's Wife" Production
Set for Feb. 5

By RUPERT WOODWARD

Miss Mary Keller, associate professor
of psychology and education, related
to an Echo reporter recently some of
her associations with the noted Miss
Helen Keller, who is her second cousin.

Miss Keller recalled vividly the visit
Helen, as she affectionately called her,
made to her home when Helen Keller
was ten years old. At that time Helen
Keller had not learned to speak ex-
cept with her fingers. Miss Keller, not
being very adept in that method of
conversation, often provoked excla-
mations of impatience from her deaf
and blind cousin.

"Helen would place her hands on

the table at meals and have each mem-
ber of the family rap upon the table
so that she might know where each
was sitting," Miss Keller recalled; "and
when the family was conversing after-
wards Helen would keep her hand in
that of her teacher, Miss Sullivan.
When Miss Sullivan would fail to
communicate anything to her for a
longer time than usual, Helen would
ask what was being said. This seemed
rather pathetic to me," she added.

During her visit to Miss Keller's
home in Knoxville, Helen Keller de-
veloped a case of the mumps; and she
became very distressed when she

Theta will present its midwinter

The trvouts were held this past week,
and the cast has been chosen. The
leads will be played by Gordon
Bennett, who also has the male lead
in the College Players play, and Deane
Bell, well known senior actress.

The story of the play centers around
Craig's wife who is a selfish, grasp-
ing, self-centered woman who is always
attempting to make her future secure.
In so doing, however, she loses all
her friends.

"Craig's Wife", a Geny Kelly drama,
was a startling success on the New
York stage last season. It has since
been filmed, and gives all promise of
being as popular as it was on the stage.
Thus, Theta has a good background
for the coming play. The rehersals
wil start immediately after the Christ-
mas vacation.

The cast is as follows: Gordon
Bennett as Craig; Deane Bell as Mrs.
Craig; Irene Browder as Miss Austin;
Margaret Grey as Miss Frazier; Gloria
Miller as Mrs. Harold; Katherine War-
ren as Ethel; Muriel Mann as Mazzie;
Simpson Spencer as Billy Berkmire;
Fred Brubaker as Catell; Bruce Walters
as Frederick; Bill Downs as express
man and Harry.

The stage manager is Clara Balcom,
and the business manager, Emma
Katherine Smith.

Students Will Sing Solos
In "Messiah" Oratorio

Mr. Ralph W. Colbert announced this
week that students will sing all the
solos in this year's presentation of G.
F. Handel's "The Messiah." In former
years guest soloists have sung the im-
portant roles. He will announce the
names of the soloists next week.

College Maid 5hop Enables
Students To tarn Expenses

By WALTER WEST

The stillness of a warm September
afternoon was broken by a roar of
laughter from a group of upper class-
men. As often happens in the opening
days of school, a freshman had made
a bad break. He had asked if the Col-
lege Maid shop was a dating bureau.
This might have been overlooked as
a wisecrack of the "Knock, Knock"
class had the man not been serious
to all purposes. Yes, too few of the
students on the hill really know what
is behind the College Maid shop.
History of Organization

Seventeen years ago, the organization
of the College Maid shop was origi-

nated, with the aim and purpose in
view of aiding girls in working their
way through school. The way was not
easy at first, yet today the Maid shop
is the most efficiently organized extra-
administrative business on the hill. In
the years that have passed since its
organization many teachers and
missionaries have been turned out with
a knowledge of the fine art of sewing.
And, it is good training for anyone
who just wants a Mrs. before her
name."

AS THE LITERARY SOCIETIES and the dramatic
department initiate their activities in the production of
the annual midwinter series of plays, we make a plea tor
a consideration of the results to emerge from their work
We must realize that much time and energy are expended
upon the presentation of these plays, and it would seem
wise that the vehicles should be worth the trouble.

We are limited by finances and by lack of many modern
dramatic facilities. Plays produced in the past, however,
have demonstrated that worth while work can be done
successfully. It seems to us that any play which merits
the efforts of college students should be an acceptable
part of literature. It should add something to the cultural
background of those who interpret, and those who
attend. It should warrant the attention and attendance
of people from surrounding communities and the filling
of the chapel to capacity. And it should result in the en-
richment of our experiences and in at least moderate

financial success.

With these considerations in mmd, we set lorth on a
quest for the cup of Theta Alpha Phi. Let's make the
winning of it a step forward.

WITH THIS ISSUE we institute a new and more
serviceable college calendar. As a result of our effort to
make it accurate, concise, and convenient, we hope the
student body will discover in it a complete forecast of
activities, and a correct indication of times and places f or

events. ...

Read the Echo, and keep step with campus activities!

Letter To The Editor

EDITOR'S NOTE: Miss Clemmle
J. Henry. M;u\ villi's Director of
Student-Help, who has been in the
North since October " on a field
trip for the College, has sent the
following word concerning the
success of her mission.

Hartford. Connecticut,
November, '>. 1930.
To the Editor of the Highland Echo:

I am lakhi ou1 ' tonight

to give the students, through the
Echo, some new.- of what is g
on in this part of the world.

I arrived in New England in
time to get a glimpse ->t the beauty
of the autumn foliage. On Oetober
9, I was a guest in the home of a
Mrs. Bristol in Collinsville, Con-
necticut. Behind her hous." is a
high hill, and half way up this hill
Mr. Bristol has built a lookout
from which one g( I a most de-
lightful view of the li "e-covered
hill and the valleys. This was a
rare treat, for it was my first op-
portunity to see New England in
the early fall.

Last spring I pent a short
time in Connecticut discussing with
individuals and small groups the
possibility "f raisin:1 a student-
loan fund which would < nable us
to continui the practice of making
the sho t-tin which we are

now mal i current ex-

individuals present in chapter

women's organizations. What the
financial results of this work will
he cannot be determined, but we
have just cause to be grateful for
the cordial interest and hearty co-
operation of a large number of
people, and to hope that this funri
will eventually become a perma-
nent part of our student-help pro-
gram.

The activities of this trip have
left no time s« far for sight seeing
or casual visiting with friends; but
tomorrow I shall have the pleasure
of having as my guest Miss Ruth
Gamble, sister of Mrs. Helen Gam-
ble Dunning.

The members of the faculty and
the students have been often in my
thoughts and prayers recently.
Sincerely yours,

Music Lovers

Organize Club

The Disc club, a new organization at
Maryville college, held its first meet-
ing in the basement of the chapel at
four-thirty o'clock on last Friday after-
noon. The club, which has as its pur-
pose the enlargement of the students'
musical appreciation, was well at-
tended.

It was decided at the meeting that
the club would meet regularly twice a
month at four-thirty o'clock, Friday
afternoons. The next meeting will be
held on November 20.

The music to be studied by the group
will be only of the purest type and
will probably be supplemented by
original programs put on by the mem-
bers of the club and guests; however,
the exact type of program to be used
is still in an embryonic state.

Miss Davies is the faculty member
in charge of the group.

At the meeting, a recording of the
"Nutcracker Suite" by Tschaikowsky
was interpreted by Calista Palmer.

In the future the meetings will be
held in the student recital hall, which
is nearing completion in the basement
of the chapel. The procedure will be
informal.

O

Behind Scenes

"The first regular meeting of the
Peace forum was held last night in
the Sociology classroom with about 25
persons present, including faculty
members and students. Dr. McMurray
spoke and afterwards led a discus-
sion on world affairs concerning peace.

Feeling increasingly the necessity for
a widespread knowledge of interna-
tional affairs as a basis for any move-
ment for world peace, the Y. W. C. A.
and the Y. M. C. A. have instituted
this program as part of their work.
Meetings will be held twice a month
on the evenings of the second and
fourth Fridays. At each meeting there
will be a scheduled talk, folowed by a
discussion. In addition to these regular
meetings there will be opportunity for
those interested to make talks in the
community, or do other work that may
come up from time to time. v

Membership in the Peace forum will
be open, with no signing of pledges or
other committment necessary. All
those who find it possible are urged
to participate in carrying on the work
this group has undertaken.

O

TIME MARCHES ON

(Editor's Note: This poem was intended
for the Homecoming issue of the Echo
but is considered worthy of recognition
at any time.)

The week of November 11-26 is that
of the annual Roll Call of the American
Red Cross. Thousands of students have
first hand knowledge of Red Cross re-
lief work during the spring floods and
tornadoes.

Other Red Cross programs of parti-
cular interest to university and college
students are those of instruction in
first aid and life saving, and first aid
on the highways. Within the past year
the organization has established more
than a thousand highway emergency
first aid stations along major routes of
travel. Disaster relief, the Red Cross
safety services, and all other work of
the organization are supported by
membership dues of citizens who join
during the annual roll call.

O

PURSUIT

Life is just one thing after another.
Love is just two things after each
other.

Sunday evening, November 8, the
Student Volunteer organization pre-
sented a missionary program at the
Park City Presbyterian church in
Knoxville.

Mark Andrews, president of the
organization, presided. He spoke brief-
ly on the work of the Student Volun-
teer movement. Janet Talmage dis-
cussed Korea, and John Fisher gave a
talk on Persia. The Student Volunteer
quartette contributed two numbers.

Before the evening service, the Mary-
ville group was served at dinner by
the young people of the church, of
which Dr. Theron Alexander is pastor.
Approximately 250 people were pre-
sent.

Gray haired men on the campus

With strange lights deep
eyes;
It's home-coming day and they're
back again

To renew old friendship ties.
They're out in the world and successful,

But their happiness never will be
What is was, when they beat the Eagles,

In the fall of nineteen three.
"Those were the days"— they will tell
you: —

"When the going was really rough;
When the teachers all were Simon
Legrees,

And the rules were more than stuff."
"In those days we founded traditions;

Our spirits caried us through,
And we built up a splendid college,

For determined folks like you."

75T he Critick made one of his rather
™ infrequent excursions to Vespers
recently and was most agreeably sur-
prised to find that Maryville college is
the indifferent possessor of an a capella
choir of some distinction. Faintly re-
miniscent of the Vesper choir of
yesteryear, in precision of attack,
clarity of enunciation, and homogeneity
of voice quality, it shows remarkable
improvement. Much of the credit for
this is due to the choir's capable
director, who has demonstrated him-
self a master at achieving the dynamic
gradations of tone and subtle nuances
so essential to expression in choral
work. It is to be regretted, however,
that the choir is forced to subsist on a
diet of hymns, which is equally dis-
tressing to Vesper congregations and
to the choristers themselves.

Gray haired men on the campus

Lost in the youthful throng;
Harkening back to thirty six,

And days forever gone.
We licked old man depression;

We're playing our part in life,
But we'd love to be back in college,

Away from the greed and strife.
For those days then were happy;

Each one brought something new,
And the four years passed too quickly,

As good times always do.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO NOVEMBER 14, 1936

It's our night to howl !

And it was our privilege to witness, yesterday after-
noon, one of the most inspired period of football that
ever took place on Wilson Field.

When a team comes on the field favored to lose by a
wide margin, turns in a beautiful performance, coupled
with a story-book finish, snatches the victory right out
of the fire, and looks like champions doing it, then there's

something that ought to be said about it

/ So pass us the smelling salts, mother, 'cause we're going
to think" about that game again

RINGMASTER CRAWFORD

There's no better place to begin than by reciting the playing of Captain
Corky Crawford, who coupled superb field generalship with a glittering day
of individual play. Faced with problems 'ranging all the way from keeping
fists at their owner's sides to watching out for his own skeleton, Crawford
stole the entire show of the day by his exhibition of cool-headedness under
all conditions.

And, as a special attraction, Captain Crawford completely befuddler the
King lineup by tearing off for two long gains in Coach Honaker's celebrated
"sleeper" play.

" POWERHOUSE'' COCHRANE

And personally, between gasps, we'd like to see "one-man gang" Cochrane
get mad a little more often. Tipping half of the King line over as though
they were tenpins, the Gang rushed through to the focus of every scrimmage.
And did you ever listen to the certain noise when some luckless player runs
afoul of those 200 odd pounds?

P- Announcer Walter West cheerfully confided to me yesterday that when
there was any doubt about who was on the bottom of the pile is was generally
conceded to be either Alexander or Renfro. For steady, reliable tackling, plus
an ability to show up quickly on the other side of the line, we give you
Alexander and Renfro, end and center, respectively; athletes and gentlemen,
both.

Somehow, we don't feel right without giving three individual cheers for
every Scot that trod Wilson field yesterday .... the vicious tackling of

Tulloch that educated toe of Jack Overly Burris's i^nning

the-all round brilliance of "Junior" O'Dell and lots of

other things.

The Maryville college basketball
team, holder of the Smoky Mountain
Conference for the past two years, held
its initial workout for the 1936-37 sea-
son last week at the Alumni gym and
since then have been having three
workouts a week.

With only one letterman lost from
last year's championship quintet, the
prospects for another successful year
seem to be in store for the Highlanders.
Coach Honaker has a squad of veterans
from which to build a starting team.

The only letterman lost from last
year's team is "Chick Hullette". Five
lettermen have returned and with one
reserve back to bolster up the front
line, every thing seems to point to-
ward a successful season.

Lettermen returning are Lee Hannah,
All-conference center, McGill, second
team conference forward, Junior Odell.
second-team all-conference guard,
Jack Overly, smooth floor worker and

passer, and Baird, aggresive and sharp-
shooting forward. Colombo who saw
action in almost all of last seasons
games will ' be trying hard to break
into the opening lineup. "Toots" Peery,
reserve center two years ago will also
be trying to win a berth on the first
team.

Coach Honaker has placed Lee
Hannah and Ralph Dowell, manager,
in charge of the squad. Workouts are
being held three times a week, on
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Light practices will be held until the
end of football season. A number of
new men are showing* promise but
nothing definite can be determined un-
til the football season closes.

George H. Vick, who graduated
from Maryville college in 1933, sailed
recently for Scotland, where he plans
to study for a year at the University
of Edinburgh.

This study will be under the Fielding
Lewis Walker Fellowship in Doctrinal
Theology, which was awarded to Mr.
Vick recently at the graduation exer-
cises of the Louisville Presbyterian
Theological seminary. Each year it is
awarded to the senior who has done
the best work in doctrinal theology.

White Star Line, Inc.

• Effective October 28, 1935

Playing their best game of the sea-
son defensively, the Maryville Scots
Saturday held the Tennessee Vols, 46-0
conquerers of Georgia, to a 34-0 score.
The Highlanders tho handicapped by
the loss of Jack Overly in the first
quarter, put up a gallant fight all the
way, rising up in the last half to keep
the Vol shock- troops busy scoring
one touchdown in that period.

Major Neyland's first string, led by
AU-American Phil Dickens, played the
first ten minutes and registered 14
points in short order. The touchdowns
were made on passes from Dickens to
Hendricks and Herring. Long runs by
Cheek Duncan and Marion Perkins re-
sulted in another 13 points late in the
second quarter.

Harry Epperson made the Vols' last
score in the third quarter.

The Scots threatened to score only
once. Their chance came in the second
period when Harp's fumble was re-
covered by the Honakermen on Ten-
nessee's 15 yard line. The chance
was lost, however, when Odell fumbled
and the Vols recovered a few plays
later.

Despite their loss the whole Scottie
team gave a pleasing performance in
holding their highly favored opponents
to an unexpectedly low score. They
played, according to Coach Honaker,
"about the best defensive game of the
season".

In speaking of individual stars, Bob
Wilson, of the Knoxville News-Sentinel
had this to say concerning the Scots:

"James Renfro, a Maryville boy was
the outstanding man in the Highlan-
ders' line. He played a whale of a
defensive game. It seemed that Renfro
made more than half the Maryville
tackles — and gentlemen, he tackled
them hard — The kicking and all-around
play of John O'dell was fine. This
young fellow is as good a kicker as
you'll find on most any major college
eleven — Captain Lynn Crawford and
Jack Overly, both Maryville boys,
showed themselves good enough for
big-time competition — Bruce Alexan-
der, a former Knoxville High player
and Toll Coulter, of Maryville, gave a
good account of themselves at ends."
Wilson might well have mentioned also
the work of Hall and Proffitt at guards.
Cochrane and Tulloch at tackles, and
Baird, Swearingen, and Burris in the
backfield.

The swimming team under the direc-
tion of Swimming Coach George
Fischback is working hard in prepara-
tion for the 1936 Water Carnival which
will be held in Nov. at the Bartlett
pool. The definite date has not yet
been announced.

Always one of the outstanding attrac-
tions on the hill , Coach Fischback
hopes to make the fourth annual
aquatic affair the biggest and best
ever held at the Bartlett pool. Only
a few of the details have been worked
as yet but the opening preparations are
well underway. The selection of the
king and queen to reign over the
fourth annual Water Carnival is to
be held about the middle of this month.

According to William McGill, captain
of the fencing team, with the return of
four men from last year's squad there
are prospects of having a very suc-
cessful season. So far no regular
matches have been scheduled, but
letters are to be sent to all schools in
the Smoky Mountain conference en-
couraging them to organize fencing
teams.

Last year's fencers returning be-
sides McGillare: Bob Brandriff, Jack
Mahaney, and George Felkner. Several
freshmen, including Tom Shafer, Bill
Karukus, Bob Campbell, Gale Hed-
rick, and Vernon Clark have also been
showing up fairly well at the prac-
tises. Clark is the only freshman that
has ever had experience, having
fenced at his high school in Chicago
last year.

The ancient art of fencing was re-
vived on the Maryville campus several
years ago by Warren Jones, who was
graduated last year and who was a
member of the fencing team at Chicago
Crane Junior college. During the first
two years the fencing was done only
in the form of a local club but last
year the club budded out into the team.

Until last year the Scotty fencers
were unable to find any opponents for
some matches and last year the only
opponent was the Knoxville Y. M. C.
A. However two matches were held
with this one organization. The first
engagement of their season will also
probably be with the Knoxville team
sometime in February of next year.

Practice sessions for the team are
conducted every Monday and Friday
night at 9:01 sharp in Bartlett hall by
McGill, the captain and coach.

Miss Snyder, has also added her
great desire to see a fencing club
organized for the girls to participate.
Any girls who are interested are re-
quested to speak to Bill McGill.

Fencers Plan

Season Program

"Letters will be sent this week to all
colleges in the Smoky Mountain con-
ference urging them to form fencing
organizations in their college," states
Bill McGill, captain of the Maryville
fencing team.

Four veterans, including Bill McGill,
Bob Brandriff, George Felknor, and
Jack Mahaney are on the fencing
team this year. Of the freshmen out
for the squad Bill Karukus, Tom
Shaffer, Bob Campbell and Gale
Hedrick show promises of developing
into fine fencers.

The members of last years squad are
conducting each week, on Saturday
and Monday night at 9:00 p. m. in
Bartlett hall, practices especially for
the new men interested in the old art.

SURPRISE

Mr. Lagerstedt was showing moving '
pictures to his German club. There was
a sudden commotion among the stu-
dents, and he was surprised to con-
front himself on the screen, as big
as life, in a ducky pair of Alpine shorts.

The Chilhowean has received a
money order from Stuart Snedeker, '36,
who is attending Drew seminary in
New Jersey. "Stu" said he would always
feel that Maryville is home, and that
he didn't want to miss a year book.

<2fovt£ute£:

For those who died that we might live in peace
we pause, reverently, in their memory. A silent
tribute to those courageous ones who have given
their lives. It is our sacred duty to cherish and
preserve it that their ideals may never be forgotten,
and peace be everlasting.

MORE ABOUT M. C. KING GAME

(Continued from page one)

Coach Pedie Jackson, who had held his first string out of the fray up to
this point, sent in almost a complete new team. But even Chesna, Esser, and
company, had their hands full keeping the Highlanders out of payoff territory.

Late in the quarter Cochrane recovered Chesna's fumble on the King 2* yard
line. This threat was stopped for the moment, as Maryville returned the com-
pliment, allowing King to recover a fumble and kick out to the 38.

From this point the class of the King team began to show. Chesna, one of the

best all-round backs to appear hereX

this year, was largely responsible for

the King comeback. His long, low
spirals, directed by a deadly aim at the
coffin corner, kept the Scots back on
their heels through most of the second
quarter.

The Tornado, however, waited until
the third quarter to blow in earnest.
A fifty yard pass by Chesna placed
the ball on Maryville's one yard line.
On the third try Chesna pushed the
ball over. Esser's placement made it
7-7.

Only a few plays after the kickoff
King struck again. Intercepting a
Scottie pass on his 30 yard line, Chesna
cut over to the side and ran 70 yards
through the Maryville team for another
score. Esser again came through with
the extra point, giving King a 14-6
lead. -

At this time, with the Tornado be-
ginning to show its expected scoring
ability, it looked bad for Coach Hona-
kers' boys.

But the Scotties refused to accept
defeat.

Helped by a 15 yard holding penalty,
Maryville backed King up to their
own one yard line. Chesna kicked
out to the 38 yard line and the Scots
began to drive. The Odell to Crawford
aerial combination conected for first
down on the 15. After a series of
short gains Capt. Corky, on a thrust
at left end, went over standing up.

Overly again went in to attempt to
tie the score, but his kick was blocked.

Again it looked as if the Scots had

done their best but not quite enough.

But once more appearances were de-
ceiving.

The last and winning drive began
deep in home territory. Burris broke
loose on the Maryville 28 and was
stopped on the 45 after a 17 yd gain.
On a reverse Odell made first down
on King's 40. The Odell to Crawford
air route again worked, being good
for first down on the ten yard line.
Two plays failed to gain. Odell's try
for a field goal was wide, but the ball
was brought back and Kihg penalized
to the 5 yard line for offsides. Odell's
second try was good for three points.

But still the game was not over. Led
by Chesna's rushes and Esser's open
field running King drove to Mary-
ville's 5 yard line, where they had
first down, goal to go, and less than
a minute to play. Herndon was down-
ed on the one foot line as the game
ended.

The result of the game was due
largely to the all-around play of Capt.
Corky Crawford, the running and punt
handling of Burris, and the triple-
threat activities of Odell in the back
field.

Credit is due the whole Scot line
for out fighting the more highly rated
Tornado forwards. Alexander and
Coulter, at ends, were outstanding. The
work of the tackles, Cochrane and
Tulloch was good, as was the play of
Renfro and Cooper at center, and
Burns, Proffitt, and Hall, guards.

Downes Conducts S Talmage First

Newly Organized
Jazz Orchestra

Under the experienced leadership of
Bill Downes, the organization of the
popular Alpha Sigma orchestra has
been practically completed.

Several freshmen have been given
places in this year's ten-piece outfit:
the other players have been members
in previous years. Last year's orchestra
was a lively, well-balanced one, which
made a hit at every social affair in
which it took part.

For vocal parts, Bill intends to use
a male trio of freshmen, comprised of
Bob Cusworth, Dick Woodring, and
Jack Meigs. He has also a feminine
vocalist in the person of Marion Hud-
dleston.

The orchestra will play on Monday,
November 23, at the formal* dinner in
Pearsons. On Saturday, November 28,
Bill's boys will entertain musically at
the swimming moot to be held here.

By Helen Woodward

Maryville is a larger place than I
thought, for with each new visit to
the shopping district a great many
places I hadn't known of come to my
attention.

I wonder how many know of the
Coffee shop next to the Capitol theatre.
There one can cet doughnuts and
coffee for 10 cents, or a special steak
dinner for 50 cents. It's an ideal place
to stop after a show.

Girls should patronize the Mary-
Tea room and Beauty shoppe, located
over the Vogue shop. Permanent waves
are $1.75 and up. The new machineless
permanents are $5.00, while a shampoo
and finger wave is 50 cents. This shop
has a large clientele, judging from the
large number seen in there on a re-
cent afternoon.

class has organized a Confab club,
whose purpose in general is to offer
opportunity to its members to improve
their speech. During the year, they will
make studies of sketches, plays, and

speeches.

The new club has elected officers as
follows: William Rath, president;
Eleanor Brown, vice-president; Sarah

regular meeting will be held on
November 30. with Mrs. Snyder as the
principal speaker. The program pro-

Maryville Represented

At Harvard Centennial

At the final celebration of the three
hundredth anniversary of the founding
of Harvard university, Maryville col-
lege was represented by Judge Samuel
Ward Boardman, Jr. of Newark, New
Jersey. Judge Boardman, who is a
graduate of Maryville college and of
the Harvard University Law school, is
the son of the fourth president of Har-
vard university. It is interesting to
note that in the line, in which the re-
presentatives of the various colleges
and universities of the United States
marched in order of the founding of
their colleges, Judge Boardman march-
ed among the first fifty of the four-
hundred representatives present.

Dr. Campbell Attends

Economics Conference

Dr. Claude A. Campbell represented
the Economics department of Maryville
college at the Ninth Annual conference
of the Southern Economics association
when it met in Atlanta, Georgia, on
November 6 and 7. About one hundred
and fifty economists gathered to discuss
such subjects as "Social Security" and
"Land Policy in the South" and to
hear addresses by southern leaders in
the field of economics.

When the leaves put on new color,

Birds begin to say

That it's time they winged their flight

Down the southward way;

When the tired grass starts resting

From her summer growth

And the worn out twigs may crackle

But to leave are loath;

When the stream runs slightly slower

So to catch her breath;

Then it's autumn in the woodlands

And it's summer's death.

COLLEGE MAID SHOP

(Continued from page one)
efficient organization. If you ever visit
it, you will find in effect there one of
the cardinal principles of economics —
division of labor. Some girls do cut-
ting work, spending all their time cut-
ting out the garments. Other girls
do simple seaming work, and others
do the finer sewing, trimming, sewing
of buttons, and other such work that
requires the most accurate of effort.
The garment thus cut and assembled
is turned over to other girls who press
the garment with great effort to pre-
vent scorching, before it is packed.
Extensive Business
At last, with its trip from material
bolt to packing box complete, the gar-
ment is shipped, with many others, to
far distant places on the map. Among
the customers of the Maid shop are
army and navy hospitals, church
choirs, and high school and college
physical training departments.

The amount of money involved in
the shop's business is amazing. Every
month, an average of $5,000 of business
is done. Scraps cut off in the cutting
of garments bring in approximately
$25 monthly. One factory working uni-
formed women laborers has ordered
from the Maid shop twenty thousand
uniforms in the past seven years. Cer-
tainly there is not any other college
boasting such a business!

Much praise for the accomplishments
of the Maid shop should go to Mrs. J.
H. McMurray. She has been in charge
of the shop for many years and under
her leadership it has grown out of its
original home in the Science hall,
where it was started seventeen years
ago with but two sewing machines in
the whole department. Today, instead
of managing it alone, Mrs. McMurray
requires a corps of assistants to help
her handle the volume of business.

The spirit of the shop and the ideal
around which it was founded is re-
flected in the copyrighted label on the
shop garments: "When you buy
COLLEGE MAID, you are helping
some girl work her way through
college."

No, freshman, the College Maid shop
is something more than just a "dating
bureau."

Dr. J. H. McMurray drove his father,
E. G. McMurray, to Chattanooga on
Saturday, October 16, where they visit-
ed the scenes of one of the battles in
which the elder man engaged during
the Civil war.

Mr. McMurray, who was enlisted
with the Union army, was too young to
be a regular soldier, so he drove the
provisions wagon. One day he was
ordered to proceed across the Ten-
nessee river at Brown's ferry into
nemy territory with the wagon under
guard, but to return alone. When he
was about to return, he found that the
ferry was not runing, so he had to
pass the night on Confederate territory.

HELEN KELLER

(Continued from page one)
found that, because of this, she could
not hold the baby, a pastime of which
she was very fond.

Miss Keller also recalled her own
visit to Helen Keller's home in Shef-
field, Alabama, where Helen's father
was editor of the local paper. At that
time Helen Keller was fourteen years
old and had just completed a course
in voice. Miss Keller said, "while one
could understand what she was say-
ing, her speech was very monotonous
and required one's close attention."

Helen Keller was described by the
Maryville professor as being "excitable
and intense, and never adapted to pub-
lic life." Miss Keller does not believe
that her cousin should have been
placed on the platform as a public
speaker, and it is her belief that if
Helen Keller's father had lived noth-
ing of the kind would have been done.
But Miss Sullivan encouraged public
appearances.

Miss Keller naturally resents the
fact that much false information has
been published about Helen Keller.
She also believes that it was a mistake
of her teachers in having tried to
withheld everything concerning re-
ligion from her. She told how Helen's
teachers had wanted to experiment
with her to see if she would realize
the existence of a Supreme Being
without being told of it.

"Considering that she was both deaf
and blind she was an unusually good
subject for such an experiment," said
Miss Keller. However, Phillips Brooks,
who became interested in Helen
Keller's case, asked and received per-
misison to talk with her about re-
ligion. When he told her about God,
Miss Keller quotes Helen as saying, "I
knew Him all the time; only I didn't
know His name."

One thing that impressed Miss Keller
about her cousin Helen was the type
of personality and character she de-
veloped from being shut off frdrn
everything. She knew nothing but the
best literature, had no conception of
anything but the good in life, and had
complete faith in anything that was
told her. She was a very optimistic
person.

Among Helen Keller's friends Miss
Keller mentioned Alexander Graham
Bell, Phillips Brooks, and Mark Twain.

The Alumni gymnasium will be the
scene of the annual barnwarming on
Thanksgiving evening at 8 p. m. Ad-
mission to this annual Y. W. C. A.
event, will be fifteen cents per person,
to cover the cost of refreshments and
decorations.

On Wednesday morning in chapel the
entire school will elect a king and
queen of the barnwarming. On a basis
of their popularity, the following stu-
dents have been nominated for the
honors: Bruce Alexander, Don Mc-
Arthur, Ralph Hand, and Don Hallam;
Mary Lawson, Lillian Crawford, Emma
Katherine Smith, and Lucille Roberts.
Business Manager Dave Brittain has
asked that the students seriously con-
sider these nominations so that they
can be intelligently voted upon.

Emily Watson, who as athletic direc-
tor of the Y. W. C. A. is serving as
chairman of the barnwarming com-
mittee, has announced that the theme
of the evening's entertainment will be
a futuristic fair. There will be booths
bordering on the gymnasium floor, and,
with the program which will constitute
the second half of the program, they
will carry out the idea of the fair of
the future. The program will be pre-
sented by members of the four literary
and social societies on the hill.

Chaperons for the evening will be
Miss Nancy B. Hunter, Miss Viola M.
Lightfoot, Dr. Horace E. Orr, and Dr.
David H. Briggs.

Rehearsals Begin
On Barrie Drama

Alpha Sigma Midwinter Set
For December 11

Choir Sings At Vespers

At the regular Vesper service to-
morrow evening, the choir will sing,
"Jesu. Priceless Treasure," by Cruger
and harmonized by J. S. Bach.

"Come. Ye Thankful People, Come!"
will be used as the processional, and
"0 God. Beneath Thy Guiding Hand,"
the Duke Street melody, as the re-
cessional.

Rehearsals for Alpha Sigma's new
play, "The Admirable Crichton" by
James M. Barrie, were begun last week,
and the indications are that the play
will be an excellent one. The play is
one of Barries best. It has a very
original plot and is embellished with
numerous witty lines and humorous
situations.

The plot centers around Crichton,
and English butler, who rebels against
English class distinctions. Crichton's
master believes that the English upper-
classes are born to lead the common
people, but Crichton holds that those
who prove themselves to be the natural
leaders should form the upper classes.
The chance to prove his point comes
when his master, his master's family,
and a party of friends are stranded on
a deserted island with their servants.
They are forced to remain there two
years, and during that time Crichton's
force of character and superior leader-
ship saves the party from destruction.
He is about to marry the daughter of
his former master when a ship is sight-
ed and the party is taken back to Eng-
land. There, Crichton, returning to his
old position of butler, marries the
maid of the family, and his former
fiancee marries a gentleman of her own
class.

The play will be given on the even-
ing of December 11. It is under the
direction of Mrs. Nita Eckles West.

Language Teachers Tell
Of Profitable Vacation

A. S. U. Speaker
Addresses Forum

Peace Organization Hears
William Hollister

Miss Almira Bassett and Miss Katha-
rine Wilkinson entertained the in-
structors of the foreign languages de-
partment, Thursday evening, Novem-
ber 12. Dr. and Mrs. Ralph Waldo Lloyd
and Dr. and Mrs. Edwin Hunter were
also guests. After having dinner at
Cates' Tea room, they spent the rest
of the evening telling of their experi-
ences during the summer months.

Mr. Kenneth Lagerstedt related some
interesting incidents of his trip to
Germany. Mr. Ralph Collins told of
his teaching experience at Middleburg
summer school, and of his trip up into
Canada. Another Canadian visitor was
Miss Wilkinson, who went to regions
where the natives could neither under-
stand nor speak English

Pointing out the potential sources of
the next great international conflict,
William Hollister, a graduate of
Antioch college, Yellow Springs, Ohio,
spoke to a small group at the newly
organized Peace forum Wednesday night.
Hollister, the representative for Ken-
tucky and Tennessee of the American
Student union, is seeking the organiza-
tion of a chapter of that group on the
Maryville campus. The Union is a
fusion of eight smaller organizations
and is less than a year old. It was the
A. S. U. that sponsored the "peace
strike" of more than 500,000 students
all over the nation last April.

Hollister deplored the conservativism
that he has met in most of the colleges
he has visited. He told how in a straw
poll similar to the one conducted here
a short time ago, the students at
Antioch voted their support of Norman
Thomas over both the other candidates.
The speaker is a friend and associate
of Jimmy Wechsler, young Columbia
University journalist, who was threat-
ened with expulsion because of his ex-
pression of his liberal views recently.

Ray Nelson, who presided at the
Forum, described its organization.
Three members from each of the "Y"
groups, with Dr. J. K. Giffen and Dr.
J. H. McMurray as advisors, will act
as sponsors. It is hoped that more stu-
dents will attend the Peace forum and
help to make it a really worthwhile
organization.

Student Groups
Attend C. N. Game

Approximately a hundred students
followed the Scottie football team
today to Jefferson City for the final
game of the season, being played
against the Carson Newman Eagles.
Because of the trek to Knoxville two
weeks ago for the Tennessee game, no
organized movement on the camp of
the enemy was made this time.

Several carloads left this morning
after chapel, and others after "d"
period classes. Among the professors
making the trip are: Dr. McMurray,
Dr. Briggs, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Knapp,
and Miss Heron.

The game, originally scheduled for
next Wednesday, was moved up to
today because of certain rules pertain-
ing to the Thanksgiving holidays in
force at both 'schools.

Two Reporters Test Maryville

Pulse, Seeking 5ex Standards

By ANNE SHERRILL

This article represents the collective
opinion of a great number of co-eds
on "What's wrong with the men?"

The freshman girls seem to require
a great deal of care about the minor
details of your personal appearance.
Fingernails must be cut and clean.
Your shirt collar must be spotless; and
why not the rest of your shirt? Your
eyes must be clear. A stitch in time
will save your holey socks and your
freshman girl at the same time. Your
unpolished shoes hurt our eyes.

The sophomores insist on clean teeth,
clean hands, and a welcome smile. Your
hair should always be neatly combed.

The juniors abhor moustaches. Hair
tonics and perfumes are taboo. The
juniors plead that a little care be taken
to match ties and shirts.

The dignified seniors say that if you
present just a general neat appearance,
(Continued on page two)

By FRED RHODY

Apparently deeming discretion the
better part of valor, the men on the
campus were reluctant to answer the
question "What are your opinions con-
cerning Maryville girls?" Undaunted,
the intrepid reporter resorted to per-
luasion, reassurance, and all manner
of guile; the result is this appraisal of
our college lassies.

The boys appreciate your pleasing
features, careful grooming, and neat
clothes. No complaints there.

Plucked eyebrows are all right, say
the men, provided a few are left un-
molested. Paint your nails any color
you choose, girls; the men resign to
the inevitable. But if your hair isn't
a fit frame for your face, get a per-
manent, or a wig, or something. Some
girls can chew gum and look like a
million doing it, while others chew like
cows. Don't take the chance.

Rev. John Hay Tells Of

Experience In Nigeria

Last Thursday night at the prayer
meeting held in the Philosophy class-
room, Rev. John Hay, a missionary
from Nigeria, of the Soudan Inferior
mirsion, gave an illustrated talk on
the work in Africa. In his very broad
and entertaining Scotch accent, he told
of the trials in the life of a missionary
and of the great need for medical
supplies.

In spite of the fact that the language
is highly intoned, Mr. Hay and a friend
have translated the Bible for the fur-
thering of knowledge among the na-
tives, which is an assistance in im-
proving conditions in Africa.

His bird's-eye-view of the life there,
the enemies, trials, compensations, and
a brief history of the mission work,
gave his listeners an insight into the
true work now taking place in the
Soudan Interior mission.

Glee Clubs Have Party

The members of the Men's and
Women's Glee clubs will have an op-
portunity to get acquainted at a party
to be presented tonight at eight in the
gymnasium of Bartlett hall. Eleanor
Brown and Don Rugh. in charge of
entertainment, and Wilson Leathers,

Miller, Bennett
Lead In College
Players' Drama

"Purple Mask" Production

Scheduled for Nov. 27;

Settings Elaborate

After weeks of careful work the
College players will present the "Pur-
ple Mask" next Friday evening,
November 27, in the chapel, with Gloria
Miller and Gordon Bennett taking the
leading parts. The play is being directed
by Miss Wilhelmina Holland.

The stage manager for the play is
Florence Butman, assisted by Maxwell
Cornelius and William Rath. Dorothea
Stadlemann is property manager, and
Clara Balcolm, wardrobe mistress.
Those in charge of the stage and pro-
perty have a difficult task because of
the frequent change of scene and the
elaborate settings.

The play, a drama in four acts, is
laid in the time of the French Revo-
lution; and the settings, both interior
and exterior, will include a French
haberdasher's shop, a Parisian home,
the boudoir of a country villa, and the
background of a toll gate near Paris.

The Chevalier of the "Purple Mask"
is Armand Comte de Trevieres, who
makes a practice of abducting promi-
nent Republicans. These he holds for
large ransoms, which are paid into the
Royalist treasury. Armand covers his
identity so completely that even his
friends do not know him. Hearing of
his boast to obtain the release of the
Due de Chateaubriand, they plan to
put the police off his track by sub-
stituting a purple mask. Hearing of
this, Armand decides to become his
own decoy, and masquerades as a
bravo. Many exciting incidents follow,
but Armand finally effects the rescue
of the Due at the gates of Paris.

Committee Seeks Aid
In Delivering Gifts
To County Poor Farm

Samuel Fleming, head of the com-
mittee on the poor farm of the Min-
isterial association, this week issued a
request for assistance in delivering
bags of food and clothing to the farm
on Thanksgiving day. Students having
cars which will be available for this
service are asked to notify him or
some other member of the Association.

Members of the Ministerial associa-
tion have been carrying out a program
of weekly services at the farm this

Young Metropolitan Star

Chapel Monday

The contract for the covers of the
1937 Chilhowean will be let this com-
ing week, the editor and business
manager of the yearbook have an-
nounced. This is the last big item to
be considered before the actual making
up of the individual pages of the book,
which is now well under way. With the
closing of the senior section two weeks
ago, and the closing of the junior sec-
tion next Wednesday, the staff of the
1937 annual are well ahead of the
schedule of most of their predecessors.

The editor and John Stafford, feature
editor, are particularly anxious to find
several good snapshots of the Great
Smoky mountains and some good snow
scenes of the campus. The editor is
also seeking the cooperation of all class
and club treasurers in speeding up
collection of dues so that there will
not be the pressure at the end of the
year that has been inevitable in the
past.

The sophomore section of the Chil-
howean is now open and will close on
December 10. Any freshman who holds
office in any organization which prints
individual pictures of its members
must also have their pictures taken by
that date.

Student Council Has Outing

The members of the Student council
will leave the campus at five o'clock

Professor Queener Returns

Mr. Verton M. Queener resumed his
classroom duties on Wednesday. At a
faculty swimming party last week, he
fell and struck his head, making it
necessary for four stitches to be taken
just above his left eye. During his ab-
sence, his classes were taught by
Richard Schlafer and Mayme Carol
Ludeman.

More Privileges
Granted Thursday

November 26, Thanksgiving day,
will be accompanied on the campus by
a cessation of classes and an increase
in social activities and privileges.

Mrs. Grace P. Snyder, Supervisor of
Women's Residences, has announced
that holiday privileges granted in the
past will be continued this year
"Moonshining" will become an all-day
privilege for the holiday; all men and
women may go to the theater together
in the afternoon; students may ac-
cept invitations for dinner if they have
permission from home; and women
may go to the Theater on Wednesday

Anna Kaskas, talented young con-
tralto of the Metropolitan opera, will
open the College Artist series next
Monday evening, November 23.

The youthful blonde opera star

comes to Maryville on her first concert

tour, fresh from a brilliant conquest

of the Metropolitan opera in New York.

Began Study Early

Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in
1910, Miss Kaskas began her musical
studies at the age of 15 in the Hartford
conservatory. A local music-lover and
philanthropist saw her potentialities
and sent her to Lithuania, the birth-
place of her parents, for further study.
The Lithuanian government, proud of
the talent of a native daughter, award-
ed her a two-year scholarship to
Milan for more advanced training.

Miss Kaskas then returned to the
United States, and for four years sang
in the choir of the Catholic cathedral
of Hartford. She has since studied un-
der the great voice teacher, Enrico
Rosati.

Won "Met" Contest

Last year, she entered the Metro-
politan Opera association's contest for
young vocalists, and won over seven
hundred contestants. As a reward she

Dec. 4 Set for Production
Of "Queen Elizabeth"

Plans for the production of Bain-
onion's historical play, "Elizabeth the
Queen," on December 4, are well un-
der way. Daily rehearsals are shaping
the cast for the presentation, with
special emphasis laid on the success of
the king's jester, to be played by
Donald Crego.

Period costumes for the entire cast
have been ordered from the Miller
Costume company. Stage manager
Dorothea Stadlemann has arranged the
purchase of a new back drop which
will add much to the effectiveness and
rishness of the setting; and an effort is
being made to insure a presentation of
an authentic and effectively interpreted
drama by the Pulitzer prize winner,
Maxwell Anderson.

It is hoped that a large attendance
from the surrounding country may be
secured through an extensive adver-
tising campaign to be inaugurated next
week. All seats for the production will
be reserved and will be sold during the
entire week of November 30.

Under "personality" come the follow-
ing suggestions from the freshman
girls. You men must have high ideals,
good manners, respect for all women.
Don't be bashful. The sophomores say,
"Be considerate, polite, and a gentle-
man." The juniors insist that you
should not be jealous! Be sweet. In the
dining hall, help the girl next to you
to be seated; refrain from stuffing your
mouth with food; help make conver-
sation at your table. The juniors wish
that more of you would date. All girls
insist that you use more tact, especially
in asking for dates. Never say, "Have
you got a date tonight?"

The seniors have no use for men who
are unthoughtful, bashful, sissies, or
conceited. According to a vote taken
in Pearsons hall, brunette boys are
about twice as popular as blondes or
redheads. However, the girls all say
that any man who lives up to the fol-
lowing ideals will be popular with
women anywhere: show intelligence;
have manners; always be thoughtful,
considerate, and polite; be a gentle-
man; don't be conceited; be neat in
appearance at all times; have high
ideals; cultivate a winning smile.

is poison ivy to
most men, and the super-sophisticated
eyebrow-lifter is obnoxious. Be your-
self! The boys say they don't like
gushy sentimentality — in public. If you
must flirt, however, practice on your
boy-friend, not on someone else.

Some girls are too everlastingly
cheerful. A boy coming to breakfast
with a dandy grouch on a rainy morn-
ing doesn't like to be greeted too
pleasantly — it hurts his conscience. Be
tactful at such times, girls.

Lest you forget, the over-talkative
girl is as much in demand as row-
boats in the Sahara. The boys like
compliments, but shy at effusive praise,
The girl who sings, acts, plays the
piano, or engages in athletics has an
advantage over the sweet thing who
does nothing but look pretty.

Boys are notoriously unversed in
etiquette; nevertheless they resent a
lack of good manners in girls.

Be neither hypocritical nor brutally
frank. Don't regard as "queer" the
fellow who likes classical music or
literature. Acquaint yourself with
current events. Don't gossip to ex-
tremes. Don't be afraid to drop a hint
to a bashful boy. Be agreeable, modest,
trustworthy, sympathetic, and loyal.
Follow these suggestions, and on date
nights the world will beat a path to
your dorm.

TRIBUTE

By WALTER WEST

Christmas is coming, and during the Yuletide season, the
old German song "Stille Nacht" will often be heard. But,
there'll be something missing to many people, each time
they hear the beloved melody. Mme. Earnestine Schumann-
Heink will sing it no more. For years she has lent her aging
voice to the singing of it for the world she loved. The be-
loved artist, the greatest singer who ever lived, died last
Tuesday night in Hollywood, California.

What does this mean id college students? It means that
a true friend has gone— one who really understood. In
this day of collegiate peace movements, Mme. Schumann-
Heink was always courageously fighting that monster
called war— the monster that divided her family during
the last war, and sent two of her sons, one under the
Kaiser's flag and one under the Stars and Stripe's, to their
graves. Her last published statement is contained in the
current issue of Good Housekeeping. It shows the mother,
the woman, and the human heart in Schumann-Heink.

Illinois Central Begins

Advertising Campaign

Approximately 180,000 students in
seventy-nine colleges and universities
of the Middle West and South are
reading this month the opening adver-
tisement of a series designed by L. A,
Downs, president of the Illinois Central
System, to arouse their consciousness
of the railroads.

"Railroads welcome new ideas/' an-
nounces the opening copy, which is
illustrated with a drawing of the Green
Diamond streamline train emerging
from a test-tube. The advertisement
lists current railway achievements as
proof that modern railway policies of
management "are based solidly upon
the test-tube findings of current public
usefulness and favor." Green Diamond
is mentioned as a case in point, and
Mr. Downs closes with a reminder of
what railroads mean to the nation and
to schools.

Teachers college at Johnson City, we

Mrs. Blanton, wife of the first Presi-
dent of Ward-Belmont college in Nash-
ville, says that the girl of to-day seems
self-reliant, frank and unusually
friendly with the faculty in comparison
with girls of past years. She believes
that a great amount of this is due to
present-day school environment. When
rules were stricter, the girls enjoyed
doing things which they wouldn't
normally care about just because they
were breaking rules. Now that girls
have more privileges, many of the old

pastimes are obsolete.

It's up to you in your battle of life,

For business, position or trade,
It's up to you, 'mid the the din and the
strife,
Whether you make the grade.

i
It's up to each fellow to use his head,
As he climbs up the steep mountain
side,
A slip and he's numbered among the
dead,
Just a slip, a stumble, a slide.

It's up to you to do your part;

And God knows there is plenty to do;
It's up to each fellow to make a good
start
And to stick to the job 'till he's
through.

Just roll up your sleeves and throw out

your chest,

And don't get discouraged or blue,

Whatever you tackle, do your own

level bebt.

If you make uood it's just up to you.

The day of the slacker is over and gone,
The quitter has quit and is dead,

The gritty go-getter the battle has
won;
He's the fellow that uses his, head.

Don't get discouraged. Don't say. "I
can't;"
Do it well, whatever you do.
Just use what you have and get what
you want,
And remember. It's Up to You.

an American queen in Buckingham

RBMENJDER ...

Modern railroads operate on
definiteprinciples-principles
which have been developed by
silting theories through facts.

One major railway principle is
this — it pays to please the pub-
lic. Investments in convenience,
comfort, safety, speed are sound
investments.

As users of railway service and
as the educational beneficiaries
of railway taxes and security en-
dowments, young people should
find much of interest in the ap-
plied theories of our progressive
railroads.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO NOVEMBER 21, 1936

At first glance, this Maryville Carson-Newman tilt
this afternoon might appear disinteresting to the High-
landers. If they win, C-N loses the SMC championship
to Appalachian. If the Eagles win, they cap the coveted
first place.

So it might seem that C-N is out to win, for SMC
mention only. And it might seem that the Scotties
wouldn't care much, since they are out of the race either
way.

But, as is frequent, seeming and being are two
different things.

If the Scots and Eagles were fighting it out for last place in the conference,
there would still be a bitter struggle. For you see, there is feeling on both
sides, and such a highly-partisan gallery seldom fills a stadium as will the one
at Jefferson City today.

ACT FOUR AND CURTAIN

To those gentlemen who don the fighting togs of Maryville for the last time
this afternoon, we offer our congratulations. Fine performances, loyal Scotties
all; and may Dame Fortune sit on our right hand today, as those men cross
the last white stripes.

"PLAY, DON"

And so, off to Jeff City, where "G. K." Colbert's forty disciples will register
their third in a series of highly pleasing performances. To Mr. Colbert and his
horn-blowers, the Bench offers a beautiful orchid for a magnificent adjunct
to the Scottie showing this season.

Eagles Keep Slate Clean

In Conference Race

With Forfeit Win

On the Lve of the C-N Game

By RUPERT WOODWARD

(Echo Sports Writer)

Today's tilt couldn't be called a
Turkey Day game, exactly, but it is
certain to have had all the thrills of
the clashes of former Thanksgivings.
And for anyone who is willing to thumb
the dusty pages of Maryville football
history, a rich tradition behind today's
game will be uncovered. Maybe that's
i1 what always supplies the air of un-
surpressed excitement when time for
this game rolls around. But whatever
the cause, there's always a definite
stir of enthusiasm when Thanksgiving
time approaches.

Away Back When

Away back over thirty years ago
the Scottie squad defeated the Eagles
by the lop-sided score of 45-0. Since
that time no such score has been
piled up by either side, except when
the Maryville Scotties stormed the
. Eagle fortress in 1927 to win by the de-
cisive score of 26-0; and when the
Eagles came back in 1933 to win over
the Highlanders, 27-6.

Such scores as 7-6, 12-0, 7-0, 18*12,
attest to the fact that the Baptist and
the Presbyterians are usually pretty
evenly matched, and anything could
happen this afternoon, especially after
Maryville's defeat of the favored King
eleven here last Friday afternoon.

The Eagles ranked the favorite this
year, but their defeat of the Scotties
last year by a one-touchdown margin
sent the Highlanders into the game
today a determined and resolute
bunch.

Final Fight

Another thing that adds to the bitter-
ness of todays conflict is the fact that
five of our players are fighting their
last fight for their Alma Mater. After
today Captain Crawford, Coulter, Hall,
Kosloski, and Alexander will not be
seen in action again.

If the game this afternoon was any-
thing like the tilts of yore, there was
plenty of excitement and color to
gladden the hearts of all onlookers; for I
the games of the past have been almost [
what one might call a dog fight.
Early This Year

The fact that the Highlanders and
the Eagles are not waiting for Turkey
Day to fight it out this year might
seem to some to indicate that all the
glamour and excitement of the tilt in
past years was not in the game this

Scotties Trounce Visitors
In Decisive Manner

Completely outclassing the runners
from LMU, the Scottie cross-country
team yesterday afternoon triumphed
by the score 18-37. Talmage led the
field, covering the three miles in 15:43.

The only man from LMU who made
a showing was Greeson, who placed
third. The entire Highlander squad
crossed the finish mark before the rest
of the visiting runners came in.

Placing second was Meares, followed
by Greeson, of LMU. The order " in
which the remainder of the Scottie
runners finished was Rugh, fourth;
Baird, fifth; Orr, sixth; Morgan, seven-
th; and Mooney, eighth.

will be held next Wednesday at LMU.

The importance of today's game be-
tween our Flying Scots and the Carson-
Newman Eagles seems to increase by
the hour.

The latest development, Carson-
Newman's win by forfeit over E. T.
Teachers, makes it a battle for top
honors in the Smoky Mountain Con-
ference.

Eagles Lead Loop Race

Smoky Mountain Commisisoner W.
O. Lowe yesterday upheld the Eagles'
protest of the Teacher game, won by
Teachers, 2-0, on the ground that the
winners played an ineligible man. This
game, therefore, goes in the records as
a win for the Holtmen, giving them
six wins and no losses and a tie for
the lead with Appalachian. Maryville
is close behind with four wins and a
single loss, that to the above-mentioned
Teachers, again by a 2-0 count.

If the Highlanders need any extra
incentive to win from their ancient
foe, the fact that a victory might possi-
bly give them a title claim should
serve the purpose.

They will go into battle today rated
distinctly as underdogs, but they prov-
ed last week to King's discomfiture that
such a role is no handicap.

Overly Out With Injury

The Honakermen should be in the
best shape since the Cullowhee game.
The lone exception—and an important
one— is the injury of Jack Overly. The
Scots' star fullback and high scorer
received a broken rib two weeks ago
in the 34-0 loss to Tennessee and
played only about 20 seconds of the
King game.

His duties today will likely consist
only of placekicking, if he goes in at
all.

Overley's loss will be balenced to
some extent by the return of Don
PRnfcen twinkle-toed halfback, who
has been on the shelf several week
with a broken rib. The Scot coaches
are placing no small part of their vic-
tory hopes in the end runs and punt
snagging of 150-pound Parker.

Other Honakermen who will carry
a large part of the fans' trust are Capt.
Corky Crawford, who stood out against
King, and Junior Odell, whose kicking
toe may pr,ove very important indeed.

Talmage Leads
Team Through
Four Victories

Cross-C o u n t r y Runners

Defeat All Opponents

Met This Season

With but one meet left on the sche-
dule, and that practically in the bag,
the Scottie cross-country team can
well say that it has had a successful
season, having defeated all of the op-
ponents so far met.

"In fact," said Talmage, coach and
manager of the squad, when questioned
as to his opinion of the team, "I'd be
willing to say that we have one of the
best teams in the South, at least in
these parts."

Much of the credit for this year's
success is due to the squad's coach, a
wise and enthusiastic runner. It might
almost be said that it is a tradition for
the members of the Talmage family
to attend, Maryville; for, while their
parents, who are missionaries in
Kwangju, Korea, did not attend this
institution, the track team coach has a
sister, Janet, here, and has had two
brothers who were graduated from
here.

Talmage said, in response to further
questioning, that "while last year's team
had as its star Stu Snedeker, the
quality of the individual runners was
too different for it to have been called
a good team; but this year our runners
trot fast and for the most part in a
bunch. That is the sign of a really good
team."

Talmage, who is a junior, will be
back next year to lead the Highlanders
to another successful season.

games for Maryville today. They are
Crawford, Pete Kosloski, Toll Coulter,
Stanley Hall, and Bruce Alexander.
Any win over Carson-Newman, re-
gardless of the stakes, would look good
to these fellows.

The highly rated Eagles will pin most
of their hopes on the pass-grabbing
left, end, Green, and the all-round
backfield excellence of Henderson and
Neal. It was Joe Neal who last year
ran 60 yards for the only touchdown
of the Scot-Eagle game. Here's hoping
Joe has lost the formula this year, but
reports from Carson-Newman are not
very reassuring.

Annual Water Carnival

Seniors Outscore
Sophs For Title

Uppercllissmen Win Crown

In Interclass Football

For Fourth Year

With Seniors outwading and out-
splashing the sophs in a sea of mud by
the score of 12-3, they clinched the
interclass gonfalon in touch football
for the fourth successive year.

This game rings down the curtain
on one of the most successful seasons
that this sport has enjoyed in recent
years. With each class playing six
games the rivalry was very intense
and a number of thrilling and spectu-
lar games resulted. Each class had a
great number of enthusiastic sup-
porters. The seniors and sophs were by
far the outstanding teams in the league.
They met three times and two of them
ended in ties. In one game the sophs
barely averted defeat as Colombo, soph
back, intercepted a forward pass and
outgallopped the entire senior team
to run 105 yards for a touchdown. This
was one of the most spectacular plays
of the year.

In the game for the championship
the sophs scored early in the first
quarter when a pass from McCaskie
to Colombo was good for about thirty
yards and placed the ball on about
the 15 yd. line from where Colombo
dropkicked a field goal. The seniors
tallied late in the first quarter on a
pass that was deflected into the hands
of Art Allen who stepped over the goal
line to give the seniors a 6-3 lead. The
second and third quarters consisted
largely of a punting duel between
Goff of the sophs with Cross and
Lavendar alternating for the seniors,
the honors were about evenly divided.
With the ball becoming very difficult
to handle and making passes almost
impossible, Gilmore, defensive center
for seniors intercepted a pass and
treked about thirty yards for a touch-
down to put the game on ice for the
seniors.

Yearly Event Takes Place

Next Saturday Night

In Swimming Pool

FISCHBACH DIRECTS

Culminating several weeks of careful
planning and practice, the swimming
squad, under the direction of Coach
George Fischbach, will present its an-
nual Water carnival at the college
pool next Saturday night. The theme
of the carnival this year will be "A
Pirate Cruise." , , .., .

The entire program will be accom-
panied by the recently reorganized
Alpha Sigma orchestra under the baton
' of Maestro Downes. The principal parts
will be taken by Fred Jewett who will
act as "Captain Blood" and Frances
Gaar, taking the part of "Zeta", the
sea hag.

A few of the features to be included
in the program are diving stunts by
LeRoy Obert, Bert Chandler, Gene
Craine, and Virginia Rood. There will
be exhibition as well as novelty div-
ing. One of the highlights will be rac-
ing in back, breast, and freestyle
events between boys and girls; mem-
bers of the varsity squad have already
conceded the races to the mermaids,
it is reported. A quartet will sing old
sea chantys in keeping with the pirate
theme of the program. Among the
novelty numbers will be Fischbach's
trained dogs and seals.

Howard Wicklund, freshrnan from
Massachusetts, will attempt to break
the college record in the fifty-yard
free style event. The marriage of H2
and O will climax the hilarity of the
occasion. Coach Fischbach has an-
nounced that there will be many other
surprise stunts "entirely new" assur-
ing all who come a good time.

The members of the varsity squad
participating are: Bob Clemmer, Bill
Meeks, Warren Hilditch, Dick Lowe,
Fred Jewett, Gene Craine, Bert
Chandler, Bill Radford, LeRoy Obert
Spen Spencer, Gale Hedrick, Bill
Young, George Brown, Ed Brubaker,
Carl Webb, Howard Wicklund, and
others.

Catch Up on Letter Writing

By HELEN WOODWARD

The shopping columnist should soon
learn to resist the temptation to buy
everything desirable seen downtown,
but the temptation presists even after
several weekly visits to the shopping
district. And there are places on the
campus as well that lure one into
spending money. One -such place is
the Y. M. C. A. Store, managed by Don
McArthur, with its display 'of candies
and fruits. The fruit especially should
get attention. Don's all stocked up with
apples, five cents each, and oranges,
two-for-five. In addition to fruit he
sells ice cream in nine flavors — all the
regular ones, and cocoanut besides-
chocolate milk, candy, and cookies. Go
to the Y Store for courteous service.

Alumnus Writes Of

Famous Screen Star

To get back to town— Badgett's store
has a colorful array of sweater sets,
in red, blue, green, brown, rust and
maroon, brushed wool or regular knit,
for $1.95 and $2.95. These are a real
addition to any girl's wardrobe.

Rose's Five and Ten Cent -5tore will
need no introduction. That's where one
mee!s all one's classmates on any ex-
cursion to town. They all ru~h down to
buy the Maryville stationery which,
incidentally, is very reasonably priced,
15 sheets for ten cents, and envelopes
the same. The paper and envelopes,
stamped with the Maryville seal, are
sold by this store as an accommodation
to the students, so let's show our ap-
preciation by an increase of letter
writing.

Another former Maryville student is
attaining fame, this time in the field
of journalism. Annabelle Gillespie-
Hayeck, who graduated from the Mary-
ville preparatory 'school in 1921, and
who wa«, for two years, a student in
the college, is the author of a promi-
nent story concerning Greta Garbo
which appears in the December issue
of the movie magazine, "Silver Screen."

The story, which tells of the trans-
formation of Greta Garbo from a
secluded, secret-loving personality into
a witty, accessible screen star, is well-
written and adequately illustrated. The
great Garbo, for so long a mysterious
personage, seems to have been com-
pletely transformed by her recent
visit to the homeland; and by her
sportsmanlike behavior in the filming
of "Camille," her latest picture, she has
won the admiration of the entire movie
crew.

Mrs. Hayeck's sister, Lucile Gillespie,
is a wellknown member of the sopho-
more class.

Lois Brown Leads
Bainonian's Bid
For Dramatic Cup

Anderson's "Elizabeth the

Queen" Prepared for

Next Friday

"Elizabeth the Queen," historical tra-
gedy by the Pulitzer Prize-winner
Maxwell Anderson, will be presented
next Friday at 8:00 p. m. in Voorhees
chapel. This famous poetic drama by
the author of "What Price Glory?" and
"Mary of Scotland" has been chosen
as Bainonian's bid for the coveted
Theta Alpha Phi cup.

Brown, West lead

The title role will be taken by Lois
Brown, who played the lead in Athen-
ian's production of "The Man from
Home" last year, and achieved success
in an interpretation of "Madame But-
terfly" in her graduate expression re-
cital. An effective portrayal of Queen
Elizabeth will hinge on her sympa-
thetic response to the poetry and force
of the script, and on her stage presence,
which will carry the responsibility for
the greater part of the dramatic situ-
ations.

Walter West, a member of the junior
class, will play Essex, bringing to this
part some valuable experience on the
Voorhees stage. His voice, which is well
modulated and clear, will aid him in

Rehearsals for the presentation of
Handel's immortal oratorio, "The
Messiah," to be presented in Voorhees
chapel on the afternoon of Sunday,
December 13, show marked progress.
A chorus of nearly 125 voices from the
student body, the faculty, and the town
will sing choruses acocmpanied by the
College orchestra.

The recitatives and airs will be in-
terpreted by local and student soloists.
The orchestra, in addition to accom-
panying the soloists and chorus, will
play the overture and the Pastoral
symphony. The entire production is
under the direction of Mr. Ralph Col-
bert, Maryville music instructor.

The "Messiah" is generally conced-
ed to be the greatest of all oratorios,
ranking even higher than Mendel-
ssohn's "Elijah" or Haydn's "Creation."
Handel is said to have composed the
entire work in three weeks and three
days, although the finished product
shows few marks of haste. It was first
performed in Dublin in 1742, where it
met with the tremendous success which
has since characterized its reception.

Maryville's annual presentation of

the oratorio dates back to the fall of

1933 when J. Alvin Keen, Westminster

Large Crowd Attends Thanksgiving Festival Thursday;

Futuristic Theme Carried Through

Entire Entertainment

The election of officers of the
Athenian Literary society will be held
at its regular meeting tonight.

The following names have been sub-
by the nominating committee:

Four hundred subjects paid homage
to King Don McArthur and Queen
Lillian Crawford at Maryville college's
annual Barnwarming in the Alumni
gymnasium Thanksgiving night.

The queen, dressed in a black velvet
formal, with brilliants in her hair,
entered at the right of the throne and
the king entered from the left, as a
brilliant flash of powder exploded from
the empty container that Maestro Fred
Jewett had sprinkled with his famous
woof-woof powder.

The throne, composed of white seats
against a black and white background
with huge white arms radiating upward
from it, was flanked by two pages,
Margaret Cloud and Anita Rayburn.
It was from the beautiful black and

white background that the
queen entered through

concealed

doors.

Each of the four literary societies
gave a stunt for the entertainment of
the royalty. Theta Epsilon, under the
direction of Emma Katherine Smith
and Charlotte Browder, presented a
pantomine; Weldon Baird directed a
group of Athenians in tumbling; Alpha
Sigma, under John Magill's supervision,
gave "The Life of an Amateur;" and
Bainonian, directed by Marion Lod-
wick, presented a futuristic household,
taken from Fred Rhody's column in
The Highland Echo.

idea of the program. Helen Maguire

Honor Society
Enters Fourth
Organized Year

Alpha Gamma Sigma, Maryville
college scholarship honor society, is
entering the fourth year of its organiza-
tion. Formed under the presidentship
of Frederick Kirchner in the spring of
1934 it has since carried on its scholar-
ship activities, and has become one of
Maryville's outstanding honor groups.
Requirements for membership in the
society correspond closely to those for
membership in Phi Beta Kappa, na-
tional scholarship honor society. Its
constitution provides that its member-
I ship shall not excede more than ten
per cent of the B. A. graduates each
year. Election of members takes place
early in the second semester of each
year, and there follows a public recog-
nition ceremony in the Chapel.

"In order to be eligible to member-
ship in Alpha Gamma Sigma, a regu-
larly enrolled student must be of good
moral character; must be a candidate
for a B. A. degree; must have attained
the standing required of a senior at
the beginning of the second semester:
must have been in residence for at least
one and one-half years; must have an
average pointhour ratio of at least 6.5
in all courses completed; must b»

Second Midwinter
Nears Completion

Barrie's Comedy of British
Classes is Rehearsed

With three rehearsals a week, Alpha
Sigma's midwinter, "The Admirable
Crichton", is fast nearing production.
The play is a comedy in four acts by
the Scottish novelist and playwright,
James M. Barrie, author of "The Little
Minister" and "Peter Pan".

The plot centers around the beliefs
of an English butler concerning British
class distinctions, and offers many op-
portunities for the humor and satire
for which Barrie has become famous.
It was first produced in 1902 in Eng-
land, and proved an immediate success.
To this day it has remained one of
Barrie's greatest plays. Max Beerbohm
declared it to be "the best thing that
has happened in my time to the British
stage."

The second and third acts of the
play take place on a desert island with
a log hut, palm trees, and the sea in
the background, scenes that offer am-
ple opportunity for the best in staging
effects. The other two acts take place
amid the stiffness and formally of the
home of an English peer.

The play was first published in 1918
and has proved as popular among
Barrie lovers in its printed form as it
has on the stage.

It will be given on Friday evening,
December 11. It is under the direction
of Mrs. Nita Eckles West. Robert Gilles-
pie, remembered for his work in "The
Crippled Pigeon," has the leading part
of Crichton.

To close Its 1936 social season, the Y.
M. C A. has planned a banquet for
all its members, to be held in the
Presbyterian church next Thursday
evening, December 3, at R o'clock. The
dinner will cost fifteen cents per
person.

Judge Pat Quinn, well-known local
barmter, will be the principal speaker.
Richard Schlafer, president of the Y.
M. C A., will act as toastmastcr, and
other speakers will be some of the out-
standing men of the campus. Entertain-
ment will be furnished by talent from
the hill.

Fred Young and Don Hallam head
a committee in charge of the function.
They have planned an interesting pro-
gram that promises to make this a
highlight of the "Y" social year.

"A temperamental artist is ninety per
cent temper and ten per cent mental."

The group about Anna Kaskas
laughed when she said that, but only
the few who talked much with her
realized how well she illustrated the
truth of it. Certainly Miss Kaskas falls
in that class of artists which has a
greater mental percentage than temper.
No one could hold conversation with
her without realizing the beauty and
charm behind her personality.

During the intermission. Miss Kas-
kas told a number of interesting things.
not the least of which was her reaction
to the Maryville audience.

"Oh," she said, "you want to know
what I think of the audience, of course.
I love it! An artist soon learns to know
when an audience appreciates the
music. But some are — oh, so cold. They
applaud, but you can tell they don't
really mean it. Your audience means
its applause, and I love them for it."

While she sipped hot coffee and
looked over her next group of num-
bers, she told of her last performance
imoute to Maryville. She sang Friday
night at Charlottesville, Virginia, be-
fore an audience composed chiefly of
students of the University of Virginia.
On the same program was Fredrick
Jagel, Metropolitan tenor. According
to Miss Kaskas, the applause compared
favorably with the ovation given her
at Maryville. Modestly, she remarked
that she could not take much credit
for that: it was as much for Mr. Jagel
as for her. "And maybe more," she
added with a laugh.

Scattered about the table was her
collection of music. One piece caught
the eye of one in our group. It was the
light number used for her last encore,
"O Dear, What Can the Matter Be""
When told that Helen Jepson sang that
number at her spring concert here. Miss
Kaskas laid the number aside and re-

Approximately 25 members of the

Large Crowd Hears Young
Contralto Monday
Evening

Singing the haunting "Spirit's Song"
by Joseph Hayden, Miss Anna Kaskas,
leading contralto of the Metropolitan
Opera company, opened the annual
Artist series of Maryville college in
Voorhees chapel on Monday evening.
The series, begun over a quarter of a
century ago, has advanced from
vaudeville and programs of magic to
one presenting some of the finest
artists in the country, as well as of
foreign countries.

Miss Kaskas appeared before a crowd
of about 900, many of whom were out
of town visitors. She expressed her
pleasure in the reception she received,
declaring that she was not accustomed
to such a responsive audience.

The repertoire of Miss Kaskas' con-
cert consisted largely in the classics
and arias from well known operas, in
English, French and German. For her
repeated encores she sang semi-classi-
cal and folk songs.

Miss Pearl Hill, her accompanist,
played during the intermission.

Anna Kaskas came and sang and conquered. Today the
critick still finds himself too far under her spell to
even pretend to be objective, which indicates poor criticism
but great music. The first warm, vibrant "hark" from
Haydn's "Spirit Song" sent a thrill through her auditors
which the consummate artistry and charming presence of
Miss Kaskas sustained throughout a well-balanced pro-
gram which included selections from the works of
Purcell, Brahms, Donizetti, Mascagni, and Leoncavallo.

Apparently the same characteristics which occasioned
the brilliant success in her short experience with
opera has contributed much to her popularity on the con-
cert stage, for her dramatic interpretation was probably
the best developed feature of her technique. In her
rendition of Schubert's "Der Tod und das Madchen", in
the operatic arias inc'uded in her repertoire, and in the
studied little lapse in her last encore, was even the mark
of a talented actress as well as a gifted ■ vocalist.
7T he restrained but spirited accompaniment of lackada-
'■' isical Miss Pearl Hill contributed not a little to the
success of Miss Kaskas' performance, while her solo
numbers showed that she is an artist of some distinction
in her own right.

Iff nless it can be the fact that they are both young, and
** both from the Metropolitan, the Critick cannot explain
why everyone insists upon comparing Miss Kaskas with
Helen Jepson who appeared in last year's Artist series.
Taking into consideration, however, such factors as
amount of experience and type of voice, Miss Kaskas does
not, we believe, suffer greatly by the comparison.

I tL , .^___.

The Barnwarming

Thanksgiving meant to most of us a
cessation of class activities, and an in-
crease in social privileges. And it was that,
with an exhilarating snow fall to add to
the holiday spirit.

What most of us fail to realize, however,
is the efforts and time devoted to the
Thanksgiving program. Especially does
the barnwarming crew deserve commen-
dation. Thanksgiving barnwarmings are a
part of Maryville tradition, dating from
the time when they consisted of hilarious
peanut hunts, and the special privilege of
returning to the dormitories as late as ten
o'clock.

To Emily Watson, then, and to all those
who consecrated a few hours of the
hallowed holiday, we give praise. To en-
tertain five hundred people, or more, is no
easy task.

Peace

A survey of the subjects of this year's
millions of Thanksgiving sermons would
probably reveal a startling percentage of
peace pleas. America is peace minded — at
present.

Orators have hurled fiery invectives at
that great monster, War. And pacifists
have incited the youth of the nation to
organization against war's powers. Thus
there is little left to be said in defense of
peace or in condemnation of the world
suicide which another war will bring.

What, then, will be our situation when
the crisis comes? Will American youth,
now so enthusiastically hymnifying
brotherly love, have any sway over the
passionate impulse of the multitudes?
Will our peace organizations, even as the
one now becoming active on our campus,
become recruiting centers?

Surely the beginning of the end of war
is in these small bands of pacifist pilgrims,
idealists though they are. Great things are
not built from matter, but from germs of
ideas. In them we must place our hopes.

Personalities

By J. T. HUNT

This is to initiate the first of a series of articles about
popular Scotties. It begins as an experiment, seeking the
human side, if any, of Maryville's men and women. This
week we present two students to whoso doors the prover-
bial trek and path have been made — the managers of the
"Y" stores, Dot 'n Don.

S

he Critick would like to thank Miss Davies in behalf
of that part of the student body (which he has reason to
believe is rather large) which appreciates the type of
music that she plays for us in chapel. One disadvantage
suggests itself in that a "nice, snappy" march as suggested
in sundry quarters would probably empty the auditorium
quicker. Speaking for himself, however, the Critick con-
fesses a decided preference for Tschaikowsky and Sibelius
over John Philip Sousa.

e

he Critick was among the fairly large but apathetic
audience that witnessed the College players' presen-
tation of the "Purple Mask" last evening, and was an
interested observer of a unique situation of a leading man
without a play and a leading lady without a role.

tarred in a role whole most distinguishing characteris-
tic was its mediocrity, Gordon Bennett almost single
handed managed to keep the play afloat. His smooth
delivery and sympathetic interpretation of his part were
the salvation of what must otherwise have been a dis-
astrous evening. f
/|7 loria Miller, cast as the winsome daughter of the Due
^® de Chateaubriand, had small occasion to express her-
self. Her part, called a lead in press notices, might well
have been written as an afterthought to supply the
love interest so essential to a play of this calibre. Miss
Miller gave the impression, however, that a much larger
role would have easily been within her grasp.
7n ernard Boyatt showed capability, but was badly cast
*** in a role that fitted him as fairly as his green brocade.
Tom Bryan, as the big bad bear Busquel, had a part
obviously to his liking, and he played it sincerely, if not
with distinction.

She part of Fouche, perfect of police, was well read
by Wilson Leathers, whose furious little outburst
in the la.it act was quite a relief. The ludicrous timidity of
the liverlid footman as done by William Swearingen, found
favor with the audience, which aroused itself to applause,
van Penne, Gerald Beaver, Edward Brubaker, and
Don Hallam were most outstanding among the sup-
porting roles.

Uft usical interludes were supplied by the orchestra,
"** which appears for the first time under the formidable
appelation of the "Maryville College Little Symphony."

dancing exhibition and the cigarette
gals; we said "Oh!" at the proper places
during the tumbling exercises; we went
into the proper ecstasies at the extreme
cleverness of the booths; and we were
as gay and lively as any of the Four
Hundred after a day of indulgence in
eats from home, a plum pudding, a

(Editor's Note: On May 9, 1336, Senator
Hegner, the Bard of Old Salem, was
officially laid to rest in the Echo mor-
gue. The advent, however, of one David
Maas, has caused the Senator to rattle
his bones a bit.)

The Senator rides again! Back in the
saddle for the first time since taking
the drastic step, the bewhiskered old
gent pauses long enough between pipes
to weakly filibuster. Allow me to
throw no brickbats, but all bouquets
to the school in general for what might
be termed improvements. I take my
motto from the words of McEnteer, who
said— "A thing of beauty is a joy un-
seen", just after he saw the sun for the
first time a week ago when the power
house was shut down.

* • *

In giving the Senator this opportun-
ity, the Editor really put one over on
Mr. Queener. That gentleman, whose
intimates laughingly refer to him as an
agriculturist, upon seeing the Senator
slide out from under a freight early
Tuesday, greeted the ex-worthy with—
"Now for goodness' sake, don't write
a column!" Have no fears, dear sir, I
never could.

* * *

If all my Maryville friends that were
going to visit me last summer in Cincy
were laid end to end, I wouldn't kick
in a nickle for flowers. That's all right
boys, the latch string is always out, as

is the larder.

* # *

Mr. Colbert must be a whiz when he
can get a guy like Paul Moon to play
the cymbals. Up no'th it seems they
can't get him to play anything bigger
than penny-ante poker. Too, the new
bandmaster was clever enough to get
a uniform for Reba that wouldn't fit

Toots.

The Echo office is so clean this year
that I can't find material for a joke. It
used to be that a fellow could search
in the lower level of newspapers on th&
floor and get a good joke from a three-
year-old newspaper. Now we must
stand out in the cold long enough to
watch a touch football game and see
Craine step back into Goff's punt.

Anna Kaskas Interview

(Continued from page one)

fused to sing it. "She does that so
well. I couldn't sing it after her." It
was only after pleading by the group
that she agreed to sing the number if
she ran out of encores. The grace with
which she covered the mistake she
made in the words was well rewarded
by the applause which followed the
number.

Miss Kaskas and Miss Pearl Hill, her
acoempanist, were childhood playmates
and schoolmates. When Miss Kaskas
began her tour, she selected her friend
of former years to travel with her and
play for her. Following the Maryville
performance the two separated. Miss
Kaskas went to Chicago, where she
will give a concert, and Miss Hill went
back to her classes in music in far
away New England.

Asked what her greatest thrill was,
Miss Kaskas replied that it was the
Metropolitan Opera contest. She modest-
ly admitted she didn't expect to win,
but as she reached the semi-finals,
and her chances of being one of the
two selected increased, her excitement
became so complete that she scarcely
slept. Then, following the semi-finals,
she was not told her for three days that
she had won. But, when the news came
— it was welcpme. Now, as the Metro-
politan season approaches, Miss Kaskas
looks forward to singing before the
great audiences in the famous golden
horseshoe.

Anna Kaskas was truly worthy of
the ovation given her. She is a great
artist.

The gates to the campus look fine,
the entrance to Pearsons is like some-
thing out of a book, the larger Echo
is swell, and the magnificent Circle
Drive is— oh fudge! The new campus
spirit which perhaps emanates from
any number of things seems to have
tapped Ripper Collins. No longer is he
that celibate that the Senator painstak-
ingly taught him to be. Too bad I can't
think of a C. C. C. list; I'd put him up

in front.

Carnegie looks bright and clean in-
side—I didn't stay long. Mr. Mac
searched me for firecrackers, torpedoes,
and paper bags, ft seems that the boys
had been asking him for some, and
he mistook the Senator in his cloud of
pipe smoke for Santa Claus.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

THE HIGHLAND ECHO NOVEMBER 28, 1936

A long time ago, in a moment of righteous enthusiasm,
we formulated an article which we were pleased to call
an editorial policy. Deluged with an influx of indignation
over a recent collegiate inkblotch, we meekly retreat to
the nearest corner, and feebly hold before us the tattered
remnants of said policy. It goes something like this :

It shall be our earnest desire, during the period of this school year, to relate
as truthfully and accurately as is possible the events and happenings in the
field of sport at Maryville. We shall endeavor to present without prejudice,
relate without malice, and uphold without partiality; to believe in the strength
and sportsmanship of all Highlander athletic organizations1; and to abide by
the decisions of all responsible individuals. Such will be our creed."

If we have failed, we're sorry.

JUST BEFORE FINAL WHISTLE

LO, THE POOR REFEREE

Now that the center of interest has passed from Wilson Field to the Alumni
Gym, the fought-for ball has developed from an oval to a sphere, and the basket
has replaced the goal line, we feel that somehting should be yaid.

Whether it's football or baseball, tennis or track, basketball or wrestling,
one thing is always the same. We refer, in short, to those gifted individuals who
are so unbelievably accurate as to surpass the officials in charge when it comes
to making decisions.

We'll freely admit — sometimes they're right. But as freely will we declaim —
more often they're wren p. But— right or wrong — when a decision is made by
the gentlemen who arc paid to make them, and said decision does not
please the all-important One — then the thunder roars and the storms descend.

So we're going to make an offer. We'll arrange to have all persons who can
play the varsity basketball positions better than the varsity to come out; we'll
obtain green shirts and whistles for all the faultless campus referees; and we'll
let the born-to-be-sports writers report the game. Watch for announcements.

HOOP TACTICS

Seriously, though, when the Scottie basketeers take to the floor for their
first tilt this season, let's all try to keep hot words where they belong. The
officials will do their best; they know they won't be called back if they don't;
so expend the pent-up fury in a few yells— youll all feel better.

Editor's Note— This article is reprinted, with title, from the Kaysecan,
King College student newspaper, the issue dated Friday, November 20, 1936. All
items printed in black face are printed in such a way by the Echo.

It is our assumption that the article was written by Charles Garlock, sports
editor of the Kayseean.

Here is the photograph in question —
made by Winford .Ross from the side-
.mes of the Maryville-King game. The
picture was made just as the whurtli
blew, ending the play, a few second
before the final whistle. As is easily
seen, the ball is not over the Scottie
goal line, the carrier having been forced
to one knee about one or two yards
behind the final stripe.

Also, one official is over the goal.

about even with the line of scrimmage,

n a perfect position to observe what

actually took place here. It is hard to

imagine that he would have placed the

ill on the six-inch line without ■
legitimate reason.

The editor certifies that this is the
picture in question— the one which
Win Ross was purported to be un-
willing to develop. May its presentation
quell any doubt as to the verdict.

CRAWFORD COMMENTS

Captain Corky Crawford, when the matter of the 20-second touchdown was
mentioned this morning, grinned in response. "Well", quoth the guiding foot-
baller, "lots of things happen in a football game. There are always two opinions
as to the result of a play like that one. But here's one thing that's sure.
Herndon was down before he reached the goal. He fell over the stripes after
the whistle blew. And another— the timekeeper blew the horn to end the
game. I'm certain of that."

After all, you know, the captain ought to be pretty sure of what happened
when. And, knowing Corky as we do, we feel sure that it happened just
that way.

Scottie Harriers
Wind Up Season

Over a two and seven -tenths mile
•course the Scottie cross-country squad
again took over the runners from LMU
last Wednesday morning by the score
of 18 to 37, on the LMU campus. Tal-
mage, as usual, led the field, covering
the course in 14:30.

Following lalmage was Meares, who
has done outstanding work on the
squad this season; and Meares was
followed by Greeson of LMU. Fourth
place was taken by Rugh, and fifth, by
Orr, who was followed by Baird. The
seventh place was taken by a man from
LMU.

This being the last meet of the sea-
son, the Scotties have closed a highly
successful schedule, all the meets en-
tered having been won, and the first
place taken in every meet but the first.

GRACE PROFFITT AT NYU

Fine Arts Head Announces
Music Aptitude Test

taking a year's work there. She is also
registered for a graduate course in
English at New York university.

Cotton Exports Down

Miss Katherine Davies, head of the
Music department, announced that the
last of the Seashore tests for the de-
termining of musical talent will be
given in room 42 Thaw hall, Monday
at 6:40 p. m.

The test, designed by the noted
psychologist, is a basic test given in
every school of music. The Music de-
partment is allowing anyone interested
to take the test. More than 40 students
were given the test about two weeks
ago.

The Seashore test is reputed to be
one of the most authentic measures of
musical talent in existence. It measures
a person's inherent ability in noting
tone variations, recognizing rhythm
and recognizing differences in dynamics

The remaining time had dwindled to
twenty seconds. Coach Honaker's
Scotties stood with their backs on the
double stripes, holding a 2-point lead.
It seemed as if the Tornado of King
was going to pull the game out of the
fire. The lineup— signals— ball back to
Herndon, who came charging up to the
line— the Scottie line held— Herndon
slipped to one knee— the whistle blew—
and Herndon fell flat, carrying the ball
inches over the final double stripes.

On the sidelines, just as the whistle
shrilled, stood Win Ross, who had se-
cured pictorial evidence of every
touchdown during the game. His
camera clicked as the play ended—
and there was the start of a quite
bitter discussion— one which has seen
printer's ink in two college papers.

On this page today is a reproduction
of that picture.

And therein lies an interesting tale.

For, after Win turned from his
photographic activities, he was report-
ed to have said something like this:
"That was a touchdown! I'm not going
to develop this film— someone might i
see it!"

Now, in the first place, Win is a
photographer of no mean repute him-

self. If he wished to be secretive about
the whole business, he could have de-
veloped said negative in the triple-
barred fastness of Carnegie Castle, and
have destroyed forever from human
vision this evidence.

But, ladies and gentlemen, it wasn't
a touchdown. Win knew it wasn't.
He said nothing of the kind, and, as is
easily seen, he did develop the snap.

Which proves that all that glitters
doesn't.

So, despite the fact that publicity is
publicity, Ross didn't like the allusion
to his fairness in matters like this. He
even promises to make more prints,
at the usual rate, of course.

Friday the thirteenth may be a
hoodoo day for King College, or maybe
it is just that King isn't used to play-
ing against eleven men plus the officials.

Anyway, not much can be said in
the praise of the officiating in the King-
Maryville game last Friday. We don't
mean to be sour-grapeing but there
were a few occurences that could stand
i bit of explanation.

Your correspondant was right on the
ideline when Maryville scored her
second touchdown. The play was an
end run to the right, the runner spin-
ning up the sideline for the score. It
appeared that the runner spun one foot
out of bounds, and the headlinesman
called no touchdown, only to reverse
his decision, to give Maryville six
points. On the last play of the game
argument again rose. The Maryville
playing field has a double goal line,
the two lines being a few inches apart.
On a third down, Herndon drove about
a foot and half over the second line for
what appeared to be a touchdown.
However the referee was in a position
from which he could not see the play,
and the headlinesman called the ball
back two yards onto the playing field.
The referee moved the ball up to with-
in six inches of the goal line, leaving

King one more down to go. During the
argument a whistle, not the time keep-
er's horn, blew, ending the game. Again
on the sideline, was your correspon-
dant, several more King boys, two
Carson-Newman men and a Maryville
boy with camera. The consensus of
opinion of the whole group was that
there should have been a touchdown.
However, the most interesting sidelight
ocrured in the statement of the Mary-
ville boy with the camera, that when
he snapped the picture the ball was
over the goal line, but that he wasn't
going to develop the film. One of the
officials is reported to have said to a
group of King players, after the game,
that in his opinion the ball was over,
but he was in no position to do any-
thing about it.

We will be glad to entertain Mary-
ville next year and 'will do so most
hospitably. King fans are not in the
habit of cheering while the opponent's
players are on the field injured.

We do not mean for this article to
be taken from a wrong point of view.
It is easily possible that our view was
prejudiced, but we feel that King fans
might be interested in hearing about
that which we, who were on hand for
the game saw.

increase as the question of international
peace is a vital one that concerns every
person.

Hallam Speaks Before

Peace Forum Meeting

' Speaking at a well attended meeting
of the Peace forum in Dr. J. H. Mc-
Murray's classroom last night, Don
Hallam, prominent senior, discussed the
history of the Spanish government and
the forces which have contributed to
the present revolution. Hallam gave a
very clear account of the various
parties and factions that make up each
side in the conflict and told something
about the leaders, Franco, Mola, and
others who are directing the future
course of Spanish history. The speaker
did not find particular cause for fear j
of an international conflict growing '

out of the situation in spite of the ten-
sion it has created among some of the
European powers.

It was announced at the meeting that
Ray Nelson had been elected chair-
man of the forum with Helen Wood-
ward as secretary. Appointments were
made to the chairmanships of the fol-
lowing standing committees: Lenna
Bess Childers, publicity; Janet Tal-
mage, meetings; Don Killian, literature;
Howard Davis, outside arrangements.

From the interest shown in the brief
forum which followed the talk, the
genuine concern of many of the stu-
dents for mean-3 of achieving inter-
national goodwill was evident. It is
hoped that attendance will continue to

Campus Workers
Build New Fence

Work was started Wednesday on a
new fence which is to be built from
the back of Carnegie, along the road
by the railroad track, and around the
edge of the campus, ending near the
top of the hill on the north-east side
of the campus.

The fence is to be 32 inches high and
will be supported by metal posts. It
will prevent cars from driving across
fhe campus and, if the gates of the en-
trance are closed, it will keep cars from
going around the posts.

During the last week campus work-
ers have been raking the leaves and
cleaning the campus. The gutters on
Thaw hall have been painted and add
much to the appearance of the building.

an authentic drama through correct
period costumes, elaborate stage sets,
and effective interpretation. The en-
tire wardrobe has been rented from
the Miller Costume company, and will
be used in rehearsals next week. It is
hoped that the additional expenses in-
curred in staging and high royalty will
be met by a large attendance from the
surrounding communities, induced
through an extensive advertising cam-
paign.

All Scats Reserved

Although admission to the play will
be kept at the usual rate of 35 cents,
all seats will be reserved. Tickets will
be sold from 3 to 5:30 each afternoon

Gillespie Leads
In Alpha Sigma
Midwinter Play

Experienced Cast Prepares

Satire As Bid

For Cup

Friday evening Alpha Sigma will
present the well-known comedy, "The
Admirable Crichton", by England's
famous playwright, Sir James M.
Barrie. With this renowned piece of
satire by the author of "Peter Pan" and
"The Little Minister" the Society hopes
to win the coveted Theta Alpha Phi cup
which is presented annually for the
best midwinter of the year.

Gillespie Plays Crichton

The leading role of Crichton will be
taken by Robert Gillespie, Alpha Sigma
junior, who achieved success in a
difficult part in "The Crippled Pigeon"
two years ago. In Crichton Gillespie
has one of the most important roles
of the midwinter season. He must
portray the solemn part of an English
butler who through sheer force of
character and resourcefulness rules his
master and his master's party when
they are shipwrecked on a deserted
island. The entire play centers around
this important role, and Gillespie's
performance will contribute in a large
measure to the success of the play.
Experienced Cast Supports

Gillespie has an experienced sup-
porting cast. Peter Kosloski will take
the part of the liberal-minded Lord
Loam. Kosloski has had important parts
in "The Mad Hopes", "Launcelot and
Elaine," and "Peter Ibbetson." Wilson
Leathers, who portrayed Fouche in
this year's "The Purple Mask," will take
the part of the epigram- composing

Alexander Prize
Contestants Meet

Oratorical Competition
Opens for Women

The first meeting of contestants for
the T. T. Alexander oratorical prize,
which is open this year to women,
will be held the latter part of next
week.

The fund for this oratorical contest
was established by a generous friend
of the college, and the prize is named
in honor of one of Maryville's foreign
missionaries.

The contest provides for prizes to
be awarded annually to winners of
first and second place of an oratorical
contest which is conducted under the
supervision of the Department of Bible
and Religious Education. The meeting
next week will be for the purpose of
finding out those who are interested
in the contest, and for instructions that
are necessary.

A preliminary contest will probably
be held shortly after the

February meetings. The judges will be
members of the faculty who are Bible
instructors. Two winners will be
chosen to appear before the student
body in chapel. The final decision will
be made by three outside judges.

The following subjects are chosen
for the contest: The Deity of Jesus
Christ; Christ's Atonement for Sin;
The Resurrection; and Salvation
Through Faith. Alex Christie, '36, won
fist place in the men's contest last year,
with Carl Fisher placing second.

Bainonian's midwinter, "Elizabeth

Maxwell Anderson, was presented Fri-
day evening in Voorhees chapel.

The title role was played by Lois
Brown, and the part of Essex by
Walter West.

Mrs. Nita Eckles West, director of the
play, placed emphasis on correct period
costumes and elaborate stage sets,
which added much to the interest and
interpretation of the drama. Many out
of town visitors were among the ap-
preciative audience.

At the intermissions musical inter-
ludes, woven around a sixteenth cen-
tury madrigal, were provided by
Gerald Beaver, organist, and a mixed
quartet.

Tom Taylor, Jack Meigs, Elsie Kling-
man, and Mrs. George Howell claimed
the free tickets offered in the adver-
tising campaign to those holding the
lucky numbers. One number was un-

Pearson Doorman Reports
Campus Politeness Code

By FRED RHODY

You've heard of "human test tubes"
imperiling their all for the advance-
ment of science. Your reporter did
something of the sort the other even-
ing. Or don't you believe that it was
martyrological of him to play doorman
at Pearsons after supper Wednesday,
to determine who at Maryville is polite
enough to say "Thank you" at the
conventional times? He was even de-
nied the consolation of the uniform and
gold braid which usually accompanies
such a position.

About three hundred persons passed
through the portal while the writer
was performing his Hives-the-butler
act, and sixty-three of these con-
descended by smile, nod, or sounds to
express their appreciation of the open-
door policy.

A few of the girls, particularly upper-
classwomen, took the trouble to say
"Thank you;" but the majority of those
who acknowledged the courtesy at all
merely threw a smile at its source or
murmered an unintelligible "Yanga".
Several winks were winked at the
writer, but since they all came from
men, he wasn't particularly interested.

The upper-class women appear to be
the most polite of all the students, and
the women, generally speaking, have
less to learn of manners than have the
men. Some of the first-year men
paraded through the door with an "it's
about-time-I-received-some-attention-
around-here" attitude.

Football men like Burris and Odell
charged through the doorway as though
expecting the enemy secondary to loom
on the other side. John Knight stalked
majestically through in a manner sug-
gesting that doormen and service de-
luxe are nothing new in his gay life.
Red Kent felt the urge to tip the writer,
but remembered with regrets that his
check-book was in his dress suit. Glenn
Young wasn't satisfied with having the
door opened for him; he wanted a cab
called. George Moore paused warily be-
fore the opened door, possibly think-
ing, "How much is this going to cost
me?" A dark-haired freshman gripped
the writer by the hand and said," You
must come to see me sometime; I had
a lovely time tonight." He neglected to
leave his card.
Occasionally a man and woman left

Winford Ross, president of the junior
class, has requested that the closing of
the junior section of the 1937 Chilho-
wean be postponed until December 10.
The editor, Simpson Spencer, has
complied with this request, in view of
the fact that to date the junior section
is the smallest in proportion to the size
of the class that the annual has had
in many years. Class officers and staff
members are interviewing members of
the junior class this week in an attempt
j to increase the size of the section.

The closing of the sophomore section
has been postponed until January 10.
Any students planning to have their
pictures made at home during the
holidays are asked to secure a 3 1-2x5
inch gloss print of head and shoulders.

The cover of the 1937 Chilhowean is
a complete departure from the covers
of previous annuals; it is modern and
attractive, the selection of the editor

Editor Tours
States With
Jinlo Trailer

By GEORGE L. HUNT

"Only twelve more states to go!"
says Addison Moore, country editor
who believes in "seeing America first."
Mr. Moore has visited thirty-six of
these United States, and when he re-
turns to his home in New Egypt, New
Jersey, he expects to have been in
every state in the Union. More than
that, he expect-s to say that he has
been in every state captial (and most of
us can't even name more than six of
them.) He has letters of introduction
to every governor, and he says he
has found most of them very gracious
people.

When he stopped on Maryville cam-
pus last Tuesday he asked, "Why fa
this called Maryville?" None of the
students who were reading the in-
scriptions on his trailer or who were
passing to fourth period classes could
tell him. (In fact, we'd even like to
know ourselves.) Mr. Moore was visit-
ing his nephew, George Moore, mem-
ber of the sophomore class, before he
continued on his way.

Mr. Moore is editor of the New
Egypt Press, and as he travels with

»ainonian made a strong bid for the midwinter cup last
night, with its production of Maxwell Anderson's
"Elizabeth the Queen." Here was a play worthy of the
time and effort which evidently went into its preparation.
JT ois Brown as Elizabeth was all that could be desired
W from a non-professional. She played her part with
sincerity and strength, and on more than one occasion
achieved truly dramatic effect. Her success was contri-
buted to in no small way, however, by the almost equally
outstanding performance of Walter West, who played
opposite as Lord Essex. Cast in the difficult role of an
ambitious soldier torn between pride and love, West's
interpretation gave proof of ability and imagination.

he hapless Sir Walter Raleigh did not fare quite so

well in the hands of Edward Brubaker, who looked

the part, struck the attitudes, and said the words, but

was handicapped by the immaturiy of his voice which

robbed his personation of conviction.

van Renne's deep voice and serious delivery made
his Sir Robert Cecil interesting, though self-conscious.
Dave Brittain's drawl was incompatible with the
characterization of a very typical Englishman; and scholar-
ly Francis Bacon seemed rather drab, which, however,
may have been according to his idea of the part.

©arel Ward, although unknown to the Critick, was
obviously being herself, and the resultant naturalness
insured a pleasing performance. Don Crego, as fool,
was convincing.

e do regret that Edward Thomas was cast in the in-
significant role of Lord Burghley. His work, as much
of it as we were allowed to see, was among the best in
the play. An easy presence, well-modulated delivery, and
the unobtrusiveness proper to his share of the play's
busines marked him at once as best among the support-
ing characters.

J5f he irrepressible Karukas, as an interpreter of Shake-
™ speare, almost stole the scene in which he was mere-
ly, by contrast, to heighten the horror of the queen's
position. His Falstaff cannot be regretted, however.

e thought beef-eater Hand appeared just a trifle too

LOWever, were tuuii-cuuo «i»« *v,^r~"~ «*r- complacent about having his tongue amputated, but

The Echo does not advocate more and tne grueling round of rehearsals must harden one to such

biffffer student body meetings. It is true unpleasantnesses.

1Z he Critick is gratified that, having bought such a play,
^ Bainonian was willing to go to the added expense of
costuming it fittingly. The splendor of Elizabeth's ward-
robe added much tocher regality.

We were all set to editorialize, and
moralize, on the disorderly exodus from

and it did not occur. There were a few
extremely busy men and women who found
it impossible to spare a minute to exercise
their right of franchise. The majority,
however, were courteous and responsive

"The Purple Mask," and "The Mad
Hopes," wil take the role of Treheme,
while Raymond BowkTey and Jeanne
Ohman, newcomers to the Voorhees
stage, will take the parts of Lord
Brocklehurst and Lady Mary.

Others in the cast are Mary Frances
Dunlap and Betty Fell, who play the
parts of Agatha and Catherine; Eleanor
Brown as Lady Brocklehurst; Garnet
Manges in the lively role of Tweeny;
and Marcella Ardern as Fisher, the
maid. Minor parts are held by Curt-
marie Brown, Mildred Erlingheuser,
Clara Balcom, Albert Chambers, and
Harold Wickland.

Satire On Classes
The play is an imaginative one in
which Barrie satires British class dis-
tinctions. In the first act he depicts the
home of an English peer with the stiff-
ness and formality which is particularly
amusing to an American audience. The
second and third acts take place on a
desert island, where Crichton, the
family butler, shows his superiority
to his master by becoming the leader
of the party, while his master de-
generates to the handy man about their
island home. The proud and scornful
lady Mary becomes a servant, while
the former kitchen maid Tweeny rules
by her ability to cook. The party is rescu-
ed just after Lord Loam has proposed
to Tweeny and Crichton has become
engaged to Lady Mary. In the fourth
act Crichton, once more in England,
returns to his old position of butler in
the house of the powerful Lord Loam,
while Lady Mary weds an Englishman
of her own rank.

This play, which was first produced
in 1901, is considered one of Barrie's
greatest. Mark Van Doren, critic for the
"The Nation'', says concerning the
merits of the play, " it has the very
considerable ones of clarity, symmetry,
and a sort of sensible grace."

It is under the direction of Mrs. Nita
Eckles West. The usual 35 cents ad-
mission will be charged. ,!,.•.

would seem to indicate that a great many people have
anticipated the Critick in reading Guthrie McClintic's ab-
sorbing article on his production of John Gielgud's Hajmlet.
Or perhaps it was the folowing long feature, copiously
illustrated, on the intelligentsia whose appearance con-
tributed so much to the brilliance of the Gielgud first

of Beatrice Lilly and Libby Holman.

worthy of many a bigger and more sensational paper—

THE HIGHLAND ECHO DECEMBER 5, 1936

■1- Ll.ll

About this time tomorrow the ha^+h?11 coaches of the southern colleges
and universities will rally round to the annual wrangle and discussion over and
about the new basketball rules. Coach Honaker is planning to attend this con-
ference, and was telling us something about the changes made this year.

"Probably the most important change made this year," quoth the coach, "is
the new six-foot ring around the center circle. During the toss-up between the
two centers at the beginning of play, all other players Will be forced to keep
out of the painted ring. This prevents crowding the two tip-off men.

"Further", 3ays L. S,, "this ring will be around any two players jumping at
any point on the floor. That is, it will be there in the players' and officials'
imagination."

Every year, the brains of football, basketball, and other sports gather behind
locked doors to formulate, change, alter, «r throw out rules which have become
useless or rnqsances.

This process is one of the most important parts of the college athletic schedule.
And the only thing we ever hear about it is it's result— the new rule book.

Some years back, when the flying wedge was still good form, football was
somewhat brutal as compared. With today's game of speed and deception. That
is what the rules committee has done.: This year, .say authorities, the most
important problem to come before the rules committee in football will be an
attempt to formulate a rule doing away with or inhibiting interference with
a pass receiver. Too much of the decision is left to the judgement of the
officials, say the authorities.

And, speaking of officials, the director of Big Ten football in the North was
quoted this week as saying that he had never seen a perfectly-officiated game
and never hoped to see one.

"The official in a game," said this authority, "has on an average of, 500
decisions to make during the course of the tilt. Even supposing that he can
make all of them perfectly is too optimistic. The average game has between
five and seven errors in officiating." Think of that the next time you are
displeased with the gentlemen in white.

Wrestling

by graduation.

All the team's strength this year
-seems to be concentrated in the middle
weights; that is, most of the men of
proven ability come in groups from
the 135 to 155 pound classes.

Taken according to^eifW? Ratifi-
cation the ' JSJtl, Scottiej shape up as
follows:

118-pound class; The race here is
wide open with five men, four of whom
are freshmen, fighting for the place
left vacant by Dick Battaglia, who
transferred to U. T. this year. 126
pound class: Two men, Jim Battaglia
and Bob Gillespie, held down this job
last year. Gillespie will probably hold
the, inside track on the other six
aspirants. Here, again, most of the
candidates are first-year men.

135 pound class: This is the most
crowded field of them all, with nine
candidates after the position held in
1935 by Edgar Meares, who has not re-
turned to school this year. If Meares
decides to come back the second semes-
ter, Scot hopes will be considerably
brightened.

145 pound class: This class, with men
out, is not far behind the 135 pounders
in numbers. Coulter and Meares are
the veterans back from last year. If
both make this weight, the outcome of
the scrap for the position may be in
doubt for some time. Most of the other

Hudson, and company, overpowered
the Highlanders 40-7. This was fol-
lowed by a heart-creaking 2-0 loss

of the game.

155 pound class; Guy Propst should
have a comfortable margin over his
five rivals in this division, although
there are several experienced grunters
out to make a fight of it. The frosh
seem to be a bit fearful of risking a
try at this one; so far, none has re-
ported in the 155- pound group.

165 pound class: This is the only
other weight which returns last year's
regular. Jim Renfro, star at center
for the Scot footballers, seems to have
things all to himself, with no one out
yet to offer competition.

With the football season put away in
moth balls, Coach Honaker is laying
plans for annexing his third successive
Smoky Mountain Conference basket-
ball title. Blessed with an unusual
amount of excellent material, it seems
probable that Honaker will build
another smooth functioning cage
machine. With Hannah, Baird, O'dell,
McGill, and Overly back from last
years championship team, Coach
Honaker has a group of veterans to
form a nucleus.

Among the new candidates are two
transfers from Mars Hill Junior college
in North Carolina. Parker, who last
year was picked on the second all
junior college team of North Carolina,
and Hernandez who played guard are
out. Black, a transfer from Hiwassee
college, is one of the outstanding candi-
dates for a forward position, having
captained the team at Hiwassee last
year. The frosh who are showing up
well are Meyers, Augenstein, Stanley,
Etheredge, Proffitt, and Stevenson.

The Scots open their campaign with
their traditional game against Johnson
Bible college on December 15 at the
Alumni gymnasium. No definite sche-
dule has yet been formed but outside
of the conference Maryville will pro-
bably encounter Emory and Henry and
some independent teams of Knoxville
and vicinity. A game is pending with
the New York Celtics, one of the best
basketball teams in the country. The
Celtics played here two years ago and
defeated the Scotties by the close score
of 38-34 in an exciting and thrilling
game which went into an extra period
before the Highlanders succumbed to
the Celts.

Fischbach Starts
Swim Practice

Rusty Wicklund, New Frosh
Find, Paces Mermen

With the water carnival over, Coach
Fischbach will turn his attention to pre-
paring the swimming team for its first
meet which will be held shortly after
Christmas vacation with Tusculum.

Everything seems to indicate one of
the most successful swimming seasons
that a Scottie tank team has enjoyed
in a long time. Coach Fischbach is
highly optomistic and was recently
quoted as saying, "This year's swim-
ming team is probably one of the best
balanced teams to represent Maryville
in recent years.

Paced by "Rusty" Wicklund, freshman
sensation, Warren Hilditch, fast mov-
ing backstroker, Bill Meeks, outstand-
ing breast stroker, and Eugene Craine,
excellent diver of this year's squad
shapes up well. In the distance swims
three of last years veterans are avail-
able. They are Clemmer, Brubaker, and
Lowe.

The diving department is bolstered
by the return of LeRoy Obert this
year, Craine, last years star, and
Chandler, who turned in quite a few
creditable performances. In addition
to Meeks in the breastroke there is
Brown, a freshman, who under the
tutelage of Coach Fischbach should
turn into a first class breaststroker and
Jewett, who was a member of the team
two years ago. Tommy Taylor, another
promising freshman, should develop in-
to an ace backstroker.

The captain of the 36-37 season has
not been chosen yet but the choice
seems to lie between Clemmer, Meeks,
and Brubaker. • • •< .

"THE ADMIRABLE
CRICHT0N"

By JAMES M. BARRIE

Priday, Dec 11,1936

8:00 P.M.

Voorhees Chapel

The Carson-Newman game last week,
despite the Scots' disappointing 26-0
loss, marked the end of a most success-
ful grid season.

The 1936 Highlanders broke even in
a ten game schedule which included
three of the South's best teams. They
scored on the University of Kentucky,
a feat the U. T. Vols were hard-put
to accomplish; they chalked up 83
points to the opposition's 48 in SMC
competition; they held Tennessee to
34 points, two touchdowns better than
Georgia could do; they finished third in
the Conference; and they placed a re-
presentative on the All-Conference
team.

All this and more they accomplished
with their lineup sprinkled with fresh-
men and non-lettermen.

The Scots started with a 54-3 loss
to Kentucky, chalking up three points
on Jack Overly's first period field-
goal. Then came the period of greatest
prosperity. The Honakermen took the
next four games in a row, scoring 70
points in winning from Hiwassee, Tus-
culum, Cullowhee and Milligan.

After this flurry the Scots came upon
lean days, losing four of their last
five contests.

Coach Bob Thrower's Tennessee
wrestling champs began preparation
Monday for defense of their State
laurels, won last year for the fifth
straight time.

While a squad of about 35 reported
for the first practice, only f/>ur men
who saw service in 1935 meets have re-
turned thus far, leaving the 1937 pros-
pects in a doubtful state.

These men, Robert Gillespie,
Romulus Meares, Guy Propst, and Jim
Renfro, are expected to form the
nucleus of the team, along with Jim
Proffitt, Toll Coulter, and Fred Tulloch.
Proffitt and Coulter are both experi-
enced grapplers, but did not appear in
any matches last year. Coulter was
kept out of action in the 145-lb. class
by injuries, while Proffitt had the mis-
fortune to be in the came weight divi-
sion as Buck Millsaps, 175 pound ace
who slammed his way through four un-
defeated seasons before losing his
finals at Davidson.

Tulloch, 196 pound freshman who
starred at tackle for the Scots in foot-
ball, is the only heavyweight on the
squad at present. He will be expected
to fill the shoes of Mose Gamble, lost

9 Shopping Days Til Christmas
Ricketts for Wrapping Materials

THE HIGHLAND ECHO DECEMBER 5, 1936

a—

By HELEN WOODWARD

The shopping columnist regrets that
there could be no coluntn last week,
after the dreaded weekly shopping tour
was taken over by Mr. Luminati. Now,
with only 10 shopping days left until
the Christmas holidays begin, it is time
students again heeded the advice of
this column, this time for guidance in
Christmas shopping.

Morris1 Clothing Store has offered
a$1.00 reduction in price on any pur-
chase of $5.00. One of their main draw-
ing cards at present is the line of ties
on display, with prices from 25 cents
to $1.00. A gift suggestion is a tie and
silk handkerchief set, 95 cents or $1.45.
• For further ideas about gifts, visit
Shoemaker's Shoe Store. Look for
bags, hose, house shoes for men and

women.

As long as there are picnics, tin
.cups will be in vogue. The tin cups at
Emery's Five and Ten are the last
word in serviceability. They fold up or
down, and may be had for five cents
or for ten cents, acocrding to size pre-
ference.

Have you a picture? Frame it. Ruth
Proffitt is framed, among others, down
at Webb's. The new frames are antique
style, in gold or silver finish.

And when the Christmas shopping
is in any stage, a visit to Rickett's is
apropos-for wrapping paper, ribbon,
or enclosure cards. And there is also
to be found the usual supply of cards,
priced from two-for-five to 50 cents.
For less elaborate cards, those in
packages of 12 for 15, 25, or 35 cento
are adequate.

The Maryville merchants are pre-
pared to meet the demands of students
in making ready for Christmas. Go
see for yourselves what is offered!

escort was too preoccupied to remem-
ber his manners, and the young lady
did the thanking for the two.

Is it significant that almost without
exception the studente who are active
in campus life were careful to thank
the writer for opening the door for
them? The faculty members, with one
exception, were also very polite.

In a nutshell, the experiment signi-
fied that the women are more polite
than the men. that the upperclass
women are particularly careful of their
manners, that the popular students are
the polite students, and that as a door-
man your reporter would make a
window-washer.

(Continued from page one)
Students to Sing

Cali-sta Palmer, a senior from Water-
bury, Connecticut, will sing the soprano
air, "I know that my Redeemer liveth."
With much singing experience, she is
well known to Maryville audiences. She
has been a prominent member of the
glee club, the Vesper choir, the Bain-
onian trio, and other singing organiza-
tions on the Hill. Her experience in-
cludes several operettas, and radio ap-
pearances with the college quartet.

Lilian Borgquist comes with experi-
ence gained in the Oratorical society of
Salt Lake city, Utah. She has had choir
and glee club work, and will be re-
membered for her part in "Jewels of
the Desert" here last year. She will
sing the familiar soprano air, " How
beautiful are the feet of them."

Margaret Law, a former Maryville
student, has continued to study voice
here. Her contralto voice is heard in
the choir of the Baptist church, Mary-
ville. She will sing the recitative,
"Then shall the eyes of the blind be
opened," and the air, " He shall feed
His flock like a shepherd."
Barber Sings Airs
Harriet Barber's rich contralto voice
has long been familiar to members of
the Fourth Presbyterian church,
Knoxville. A member of the winning
quartet in a statewide competition in
1933, sha has sung in "Martha," "The
Mikado," and "The Bohemian Girl,"
in addition to her choir work. She will
sing the beautiful recitative, "Behold
a virgin shall conceive," and the airs,
"O, thou that tellest good tidings to
Zion," and "He was despised."
Tenor, Bass to Sing
Robert Cusworth, a freshman from
Union city, New Jersey, has studied
for three years under Manly Price Boone
of the Metropolitan opera association.
He has also had two years' experience
in the New York Light Opera guild. He
will sing the opening recitative, "Com-
fort ye my people," and the familiar
air, "Every valley shall be exalted."

Don McArthur, member of the popu-
lar Dixie Vagabond quartet, will sing
the bass recitative, "Behold, I tell you
a mystery," and the air, "The trumpet
shall sound." He has studied music in
his home city, Meridian, Mississippi,
and has had choir and glee club ex-
perience, in addition to broadcasting
over stations WCKY, WNOX, and
WCOC.

The soloists are carefully working
out their parts under the direction of
Mr. Colbert this week. The final com-
bined rehearsal for soloists, chorus,
and orchestra will be held at two
o'clock tomorrow.

ECHOES Of THE PAST

By MARY E HAINES

December 5, 1916

Alpha Sigma will present its mid-
winter on Friday night, December 8.
The program will be centered around
one of the most important questions
before thinking America, "Is America
Losing Its Vitality Because of Com-
mercialism?"

• » •

Thomas Brook Fletcher, famous
lecturer, will speak here on Saturday
night, December 9, on "The Tragedy

of the Unprepared."

• • *

Quite a large number of students
took advantage of the excursion to
Elkmont, last Friday. A crowd of
ninety-one, armed with kodaks and
frying pans, boarded the train at
Maryville for the trip through the
mountains.

December 3, 1926

The December third issue of the
Echo was a special football edition of
eight pages. In it appear the pictures
of members of the varsity and of
Coach Honaker and Coach Thrower.
In the list of players is a half-back
by the name of George F. Crawford,
"Corky," who is described as "the boy
with that peculiar, squirming drive,
that elusive side step, and that momen-
tous change of pace." (It must run in
the family.)

• • •

The Athenian Literary society has
had the reputation of presenting some
of the best plays seen on College hill.
We are assured that this year will be
no exception. Monday it will present
"The Show-Off", a Pulitzer prize play
of George Kelly.

one of the year's biggest grid thrills,
over-coming a 7-point lead to down
King College, 16-14. Odell's fourth
period field-goal provided the winning
margin.

The 26-0 trampling at Carson-New-

happen to men and mice and their best-
laid plans; at least that's one way to
explain it.

As a whole the 1936 season was a

the best spirit of any of the teams of
those fifteen years."

Prominent Pastor
Engaged To Lead
Meeting Series

Dr. Howard M. Morgan Will

Speak at February

Meetings

The Rev. Howard Moody Morgan,
pastor of the Tabernacle Presbyterian
church, Philadelphia, will lead the
sixty-first series of February meet-
ings to be held at Maryville college
beginning February 9, 1937, President
Ralph W. Lloyd anounced Wednesday.

Dr. Morgan is a young man, popu-
lar with young people. His present
church is near the University of
Pennsylvania, and is a church home
for Presbyterian students attending
the University. His former pastorate
at Lexington, Kentucky, brought him
into contact with students of the Uni-
versiy of Kentucky and Transylvania
university, who regarded him highly
as a counselor and friend.

He was born in England, son of Dr.
G. Campbell Morgan, one of the most
notable expository preachers and
writers of the past fifty years. His
father first came to America at the
invitation of Dwight L. Moody, for
whom the Philadelphia pastor is
named, and is now for the second
time pastor of the famous Westmin-
ster Congregational church near
Buckingham palace in London, Eng-
land.

In a statement to the Echo Dr.
Lloyd said: "Dr. Howard Moody Mor-
gan is a most likable person, possesses
a deep spiritual nature, has some of
his famous father's ability as a Bibli-
cal preacher, and understands the life
of today."

The Rev. Sidney E. Stringham, pastor
of the Epworth Methodist Episcopal
church of St. Louis, has accepted an
invitation to assist in the song leader-
ship of the meetings for the fifteenth
time.

Classes Dismissed at Noon
Next Thursday

This evening at eight o'clock the
members of the senior class and their
guests will assemble at Bartlett hall
for their annual Christmas party. Dave
Brittain, president of the senior class,
working in conjunction with the
various committees, has announced the
general program.

All of the downstairs rooms of the
Y. M. C. A. building will be decorated
in the spirit of the Yuletide season.
There will be a large Christmas tree
and a fireplace from which the sur-
prise guest of the evening, a prom-
inent faculty member dressed as Santa
Claus, will emerge. There will be a
check room for the wraps of the guests
who will attend in formal attire. Christ-
mas presents will be given to all of the
merrymakers.

Part of the program includes a
group of carol singers, with the entire
party participating in the familiar re-
frains. Ellen Hitch, popular graduate
of '36, will read. George Kent and Bill
Downes, well-known comedians, will
supervise the main part of the pro-
gram, assisted by Bill Karukas. The re-
freshments following the program will
be fresh fruit pie, ice cream, and
coffee.

Campus Loses
Famed Cedars
To Neip Blight

By ARLENE PHELPS

"As thy hilltop crowned with
cedars

Ever green appears . . ."

Thus Maryville's alma mater
immortalizes its crowning ever-
green glory. The cedar trees, how-
ever, are dying, infested
with a disease which will kill them
all. Already some of them have
been removed, and the sound of
the saw, the axe, and the splinter-
ing crash as they yield to their
destiny sorrows Maryville students.

During the Civil war confederate
soldiers quartered on the Hill must
have used the cedars for targets,
for deeply imbedded in the trunks
of the trees which have been cut
down are numerous bullets.

The contagious apple-cedar rust,
the blight causing the loss of the
cedars, is so serious that in some
apple-growing sections the grow-
ing of cedar trees is prohibited by
law. The spores of the plant Infect
apple trees during the warmer
seasons, and by the rust they form
are fatal. During the winter they
appear stored in a yellow jelly
which oozes out of the leaves of the
cedars, reforming spores which are
blown by the wind to apple trees
for growth.

The cedars will be replaced by
trees resistent to this disease.

Last evening in Voorhees chapel
Alpha Sigma presented another of the
society mid-winters, Sir James M.
Barrie's well-known comedy, "The
Admirable Crichton."

Robert Gillespie, who played the title
role, was supported by an experienced
cast, some of whom, however, were
newcomers to the Maryville stage.

The play, directed by Mrs. Nita
Eckles West, was capably managed in
its various aspects by John Knight,
Edward Gillingham, Marguerite Gray,
and Bruce Walters.

The Alpha Sigma play was the second
of the society mid-winter productions.
Two others, "Craig's Wife" by Theta
Epsilon, and "Graustark" by Athenian,
will be presented during the early part
of next year.

Student Recital

The second of a series of recitals by
students of the Music department will
be given this afternoon at two o'clock
in the new Fine Arts studio, when
pupils of Miss Katharine Davies, pianist
and Miss Dorothy Home, violinist, will
appear.

The recitals, to be given throughout
the year, are designed to give students
an opportunity for frequent public per-
formance, and to show progress made
by individual pupils.

The following students will appear:
Louise Lloyd, Mary Helen Moore,
Katherine Ann Stooksberry, Sara Hus-
sey, Patricia Kennedy, Lynn Tyndall,
Dorothy Strickland, Howland Hussey,
Zilla McKenzie, Genevieve McCal-
mont, Ruth Mack, Kathleen Cissna,
Virginia Schaeffer, Louise Felknor,
Gwen Vaughn, Elizabeth Spahr, Eliza-
beth Moore, Trula Vance, and Mary
Emory.

A valuable collection of original
paintings by the late Mrs. Elizabeth
Gowdy Baker has been given to Mary-
ville college by her husband, Daniel B.
Baker, President Ralph W. Lloyd an-
nounced Thursday. For some time two
of the former class rooms on the second
floor of Anderson hall have been in
the process of preparation for an art
gallery where these paintings may be
made accessible to members of the
college and visitors. After the close of
the Christmas holidays the dedication
and opening of the gallery will be an-
nounced.

Mrs. Baker was known as the leading
living painter of portraits in pure water
color. The portrait of her son, now at
the College, was the first life-size por-
trait painted in pure aquarelle. The
artist regularly received from $4,000 to
$10,000 each for her paintings of pro-
minent people.

Mr. Baker has retained some of his
wife's work. He has, however, given
to the College, in addition, nearly one
hundred photographs of famous por-
traits, as well as the photographic
plates now at the studio of a New
York photographer. These photo-
graphs will also be exhibited.

Many of the paintings were merely
the artist's relaxation, although many
others were exhibited and sold. Mrs.
Baker exhibited her work in princi-
pal art centers in America and
abroad.

From the time of Mrs. Baker's death
until a few weeks ago the pictures
have been stored.

"A few weeks ago the Student
council, through the Student-Faculty
committee, requested the privilege of
appearing before the Executive council
of the faculty to discuss the practica-
bility of changing the Sunday after-
noon social program.

"Representatives of the Student
council discussed this matter with the
Executive council, and because of other
business there was no opportunity for
the faculty to vote on it until last
Thursday. After a full consideration
of the situation, it was decided that
no changes should be made at this

Women Through The Ages

By FRED RHODY
HEADLINE-
EDWARD Vm ABDICATES
FOR WALUS SIMPSON

Long ago when women were still the
weaker sex, there lived a Hebrew
named Samson. This boy was so big
and strong that he thought nothing of
going out before breakfast and killing
off a thousand Philistines to work up an
appetite. But for Delilah, a woman of
Philistia, Samson was a cinch. The day
she coaxed his secret from him Samson
certainly had a close shave. Through
her trickery Samson lost his hair, his
strength, eyes, liberty, and finally his
life. A born actor, like Dizzy Dean,

Samson brought down the house when
he died.

About 52 B. C. a beautiful girl of
17 became queen of Egypt. She had
some killing to do to secure her throne
for herself, so she sent a valentine to
Julius Caesar. Some time later, while
Cleo was keeping company with Caesar
in Rome, he was assassinated. Cleo-
patra was extremely annoyed by
Caesar's demise; he couP nave done so
much for her. But she made the best
of the situation and dropped the hand-
kerchief in front of Mark Anthony.
Always the perfect hostess, she built a
cozy little mausoleum for the purpose
of providing a suitable place for Antony

and her to commit suicide together.
But Cleo was only fooling, and Antony
died alone. Things were getting too
warm, however, and Cleopatra soon
went to keep Mark company.

Louis XV was one of the weakest and
most volgar kings France ever had. The
government and his wife both bored
Louis, but the duchess of Chateauroux,
Madame de Pompadour, and finally
Madame du Barry, served to keep
Louis from becoming a sour old grouch.
WTule Louis ran around with the ladies,
the government went to ruin; the
finances of France were topsy-turvy
until the revolution.

(Continued on page four)

The Social committee will sponsor a
formal dinner Wednesday evening at
six o'clock. Christmas trees, pine cones,
and silver painted cedars are being pre-
pared to provide background for the
dinner and entertainment.

The Alpha Sigma orchestra, tap
dancing, and other specialties will make
up the program.

Writer's workshop met Monday at

with Daphne Harris. Short poems were
read by Carolyn Harrar, and John
Stafford read a character sketch.

Plans were discussed for several
alumni programs after the holidays,
when ex -members of the workshop

since leaving college.

The workshop will not meet next
week.

Home Ec. Dept.

Committees were headed as follows:
Winifred Berst, Mary Kate Anderson,

Special Caroling
Services Planned

Handel's "Messiah", one of the great-
est choral works in all musical litera-
ture, will be sung in Voorhees chapel
tomorrow afternoon at 3 by a mixed
chorus of 175 voices under the direction
of Ralph W. Colbert.

Solos are being taken by Mrs. R. L.
Snelson and Mrs. J. R. Mitchell, well
known vocalists from Maryville, and
Calista Palmer, Lilian Bargquist, Mar-
garet Law, Harriet Barber, Robert Cus-
worth, and Donnell McArthur, stu-
dents at the College.

Orchestra Accompanies

The 30-piece Maryville College Little
symphony and Garnet Manges, pianist,
will furnish the accompaniment.

In spite of the relatively great length
of the complete work, Handel wrote
"The Messiah" in the short space of
24 days. It was first performed in Dub-
lin in 1742, and the proceeds of a
capacity house were dedicated to the
support of several charitable organi-
zations. Subsequently Handel con-
ducted "The Messiah" annually for the
benefit of a foundling hospital, and
it has been estimated that this great
oratorio has contributed more money
to charity than any other work of art.
George II Established Custom

A year after its initial performance,
"The Messiah" was given in London at
Covent garden, and it was on this
memorable occasion that King George
II was so moved by the sublimity of
the "Hallelujah" chorus that he rose to
his feet, followed by the entire audience,
establishing a precedent that has been
followed ever since.

It is interesting to note that the for-
mer of these choruses is given for the
first time in the history of "The
Messiah," at Maryville.

Newspaper Plans
College Feature

The Knoxville Journal will soon
print a full page feature story con-
cerning the history and activities of
Maryville college.

At noon Tuesday, Mr. J. H. Webb, a
director of the College, Dr. Ralph
Waldo Lloyd, and three representatives
of the Journal, Miss Elizabeth Brown,
Photographer Kyle Moore, and Leland
Waggoner, visited points of interest on
the campus.

Mr. Moore took more than 25 views
of the College, including the students
at their noon meal, the College Maid
shop, Voorhees chapel, Bartlett hall, a
women's gym class, the new entrance
gates, and the library and college
museum.

The definite date for the publication
of the article, which will be written by
one of the Journal's best full-time fea-
ture writers, has not been set.

The combined glee clubs will carol
in Maryville Wednesday evening at
8:30, singing for shut-ins whose names
have been received at the Personnel
office.

For the remainder of the student
body, the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. will
sponsor a special Christmas program of
carol singing on the Hill. Everyone will
meet around the Christmas tree in
front of Thaw to sing carols, after
which refreshments will be served in
Pearsons hall.

Upon their return from town, the
glee clubs and choir will join the cam-
pus carolers.

7T! he Critick is happy to be able to present a timely and
*■' interesting review by Dr. E. R. Hunter of Margaret
Mitchell's "Gone With the Wind," in a week notable for
little but the dullness of its dramatics. The book, with
all its faults, is at least worthy of criticism.

ore than once as I have driven into Atlanta, through
Dalton and Marietta, over a road crowded with
memorials of Sherman's devastating march, there has
come to me the impression that surely some one some
day would make a novel with that campaign as its focus.
Recalling the heartlessly triumphing chorus of the North's
stirring song about it, I had even fancied I had a title
ready for the novel. Why might not one lift a phrase from
that chorus, and dipping it deep in ironic brine, call the
story "Freedom's Thoroughfare?"

e

o I came to the reading of Miss Mitchell's "Gone
With the Wind" curiously eager for the adequate
novel of the March to the Sea. And in many respects it is
a satisfying novel. The description of the siege of Atlanta,
the horrors of helpless refugees fleeing from the burning

city, the desolation of the pillaged and burnt country-
side, the breaking of minds and the collapse of a society
are all made real and vivid beyond criticism.

/j» ne will go far to find a more memorable passage than
™ the description of the flight of Scarlett and Melanie
from Atlanta, or a more poignant matter of pathos than
the passage dealing with the broken and distraught mind
of Gerald O'Hara.

ut I cannot subscribe to the estimation of "Gone
With the Wind" as a great novel. Structurally it has
glaring weakness. Setting out to be a view of events and
persons through the eyes of one character, in this case
Scarlett O'Hara, it proceeds on that principle with almost
complete fidelity for practically four-fifths of the volume
of the novel— far enough, indeed, to accustom the reader
and to commit the author to the continuance of his method.
But after the death of Frank Kennedy, the dominant
interpreter is Rhett Butler and the reader, accustomed to
Scarlett's dicta of evaluation, is now turned over to the
untender mercies of Rhett.

Lorenz Loses
books, Socks,
— Epergthinql

When Edmund Lorenz, freshman,
discovered that his books had been
"lifted" from his room, he was only
slightly disturbed. But the situa-
tion took on a more alarming
aspect upon his realization that his
clothes . . . including shirts, socks,
trousers, underwear, and shoes . .
as well as his towels and type-
writer ... all his belongings, in
fact, had disappeared completely.

Lorenz's property was finally re-
stored to him. The pranksters re-
sponsible for the excitement ex-
plained that the incident was an
example of retributive justice.

SHORT SHORT STORY

Betty was a freshman at
Maryville College and had de-
cided to wait until she got home
to buy Christmas presents. Now
on her arrival home, numerous
invitations awaited her, and sud-
denly was so busy that, before
she realized it, it was December
25 and therefore no Christmas
presents purchased.

Betty was sadly disappointed
with her purchases made that
last day — but what could she
expect— waiting 'till the last
minute.

The next year Betty was wiser
and did her Christmas shopping
in Maryville, before the holidays.
She was pleased and so were
her friends and relatives.

Personalities...

This week's column is dedicated to those northern
freshmen whose insatiable curiosity for the typical native
has been a source of general amusement. We present two
students who have more than red hair in common, both
being from the sometimes called hill-billy state of Ten-
nessee. We caution you, however, that the co-ed will not
be a calicoed, clay-piped, poke-bonneted lass, nor the man
a stammering, one-gallused, barefoot lad.

EDITH PIERCE— Rockford— honor graduate— apparently
a believer in "a stitch in time," since she often works in
the maid shop at six a. m. —
likes the moonlight— has a
wealth of nicknames, rang-
ing from "Ray of Sunshine,"
to "Rhythm" — refuses to
wear a hat — has an infectious
smile— likes B. G. picnics-
independent, almost— dislikes
prissy people — vivacious —
never at a loss for words, ex-
cept when being interviewed
— thinks that the shortest
distance between two points
is by skipping— a bug on bas-
ketball— believes in herself,
red hair 'n all— declares that
the best things are free — dis-
likes nuts (of the edible
variety) for personal reasons
—also "snoopers"— sympathe-
tic— friendly. —

o illusrate this I take the presentation of Ashley
Wilkes, who, in the major part of the story, is set
forth most favorably. Torn no doubt he is by a desire for
Scarlett, but never is the approach his and always he is
master of himself and true to his gentleman's conception
of honor; the very counterpart of a Southerner's dream
of Robert E. Lee as a youth and young man, far-sighted,
thoughtful, dispassionate, but brave, loyal, chivalrous.
Thus for the major part of the story. Always even in this
part of the story, Rhett Butler hates him and is mercilessly
critical of him — unfair we feel — until Rhett takes over
the interpreter's role and then we are called on to shift
our view of Ashley. He is spiritless; he takes charity from
a woman; he is a moral coward, and unappreciative of his
noble wife. This appears so strongly that one has a feeling
that the author herself has betrayed Ashley, and one feels
he is entitled to go on believing in 4, nley— that Ashley is
fine and that so strong a defense has been built up in
his behalf through the bulk of the story that, until some
act of hos own dashes our confidence in him, we are due
a full carrying through of that impression. I cannot feel
that the scene of Scarlett in Ashley's arms in the lumber
mill, or the failure to present any full fair showing of
his sense of loss as Melanie is dying is anything short of
unfair to his presentation.

oreover, as a Puritan, and otherwise, I protest the
undue parading of sex in the story and particularly
the presumptous intrusion into marital bed chambers. I
insist that this is not only not necessary, but it is bad
art. Most of the greatest fiction of our race is free from
such materials. Recall Jane Austen, "Tiackeray, George
Eliot, and even Hawthorne and Hardy, who deal with sex-
ual entanglements, never for the sake of presenting details,
but always because the whole impression includes them.
Only in a picaresque fiction of the DeFoe variety is this
method admissible, and who wants a novel of the poten-
tialities of this one subverted to the picaresque? This novel,
like its greater contemporary, "Anthony Adverse," un-
fortunately will live in many and many a memory, not for
its fine passages— it undeniably has them— but for its
smear after smear of improper sex emphasis.

Unsung heroes — The boys who shift the
props for these Midwinters — Fourscore
unappreciated waitresses serving seven
hundred self-indulgent students— The
faculty "censors"— College men digging
sewer lines — English assistants grading
freshman themes— People who do their
own work in the laboratories — Fifty

o my mind Miss Mitchell's greatest achitrement in
characterization is Gerald O'Hara. For a "good
woman" Melanie Hamilton is a signal success— rar more
attractive and convincing, for example, than Amelia Sedley
or Agnes Wickfield. Scarlett, it must be admitted, is a
great achievement, but one cannot escape the impression
that she i* made, not born. She seems tht result of
synthetic processes, and the result is not convincing. Her
heartless unconcern for Charles' memory, her ruthless
stealing of Suellen's lover, her consistent distaste for
Melanie, her coarse and vulgar matching of Rhett Butler's
worst passages— how square these with her heroic salvag-
ing of Tarn, her tender care for Gerald, her idolization of
Ellen, and one passage of idyllic sweetness— the lovely
moment just before Bonnie is dashed to her death? I am
not suggesting that this and a score of other discrepant
facets of her character could not be synthesized into one
convincing personality. It is done in literature, as witness
Falstaff, Hamlet, Cleopatra, Lady Macbeth. It happens in
life. But it is not done here.

ne word more. Rhett Butler is unique in my experi-
ence of fiction. I can match Melanie with Amelia
Sedley to the latter's discredit, and for the minor charac-
ters, Suellen, Aunt Pitty Pat, Will Benteen, Grandma
Fontaine, Old Peter, one can find near counterparts in
many a story. For Scarlett one can trace legitimate kinship
with the Signora Neroni, Hetty Sorrell, and most clearly,
but to Scarlett's discredit, with Becky Sharp. But where
shall we go for a parallel to Rhett Butler? Once more, but
faint and far off, Thackeray's masterpiece offers a sug-
gestion in Lord Steyne, but the Great Lord is infinitely
a greater person than the scion of the Charleston Butlers.

Scribe Recalls Mat History

As the current crop of Maryville
mntmen round into shape for another
season, it is interesting to glance back
over the first decade of the sport at
Maryville College.

Most of us know, for instance, that
Coach Bob Thrower's teams have been
perennial state title claimants, that
wrestling at Maryville is the best draw-
ing card of any of the so-called minor
sports; but it takes a little browsing
in the books to reveal the why's and
wherefore's, to show just how badly
the Scots have humbled Vanderbilt
and U. T.

The first, or "pre-Thrower", period
in Maryville wrestling began when
Farmer Watkins, just starting his col-
lege work here, introduced the sport
in 1927. In the years immediately fol-
lowing, the Watkins-coached teams
met most of the amateur groups of
this section. These included colleges,
universities, highschools, and YMCA's.
The Knoxville and Chatanooga Y's
furnished the bulk of the competition
during this first period.

It is with the second part of Mary-
. ville wrestling history that the avail-
able records deal. This era began in'

1931, when Watkins was succeeded by
the present coach. Bob Thrower. Since
that time the Scot grunters have won
32 meets, lost four, and tied one, giv-
ing them one of the mos unusual re-
cords hedl by any co:lege outfit. After
29 straight wins they finally suffered
their first loss, in 1935, at the hands
the Appalachian State Teachers of
Boone, North Carolina. The Teachers,
(tutored, incidentally, by the afore-
mentioned Farmer Watkins) have been
flies in our soup ever since, winning
twice from the Scots last year.

In the six-year period from 1931
through 1936 Maryville has conquered
Knoxville "Y" twelve times, Chatta-
nooga "Y" seven times, Tennessee five
times, Vanderbilt three times, Appla-
chian Teachers three times, Highpoint
College once, and Knoxville High once.
They lost to Appalachian three times,
and to Davidson once. The only tie
waa with Vandy in 1985.

The prize for outstanding individual
merit during these years would pro-
bably go to Buck Milsaps, last year's
165- pound ace, who was undefeated
in four seasons of 'competition before
losing his last match at Davidson.

The brightest marks on the record
of the team as a whole are as follows:
Scoring 172 points to the opposition's
19 in 1933; taking 35-5 and 33-3 vic-
tories from U. T. and shellacking
Vanderbilt 40-0 in 1934; winning 26-6
from Tennessee last season; and main-
taining a strong grip on the state
championship since 1931.
All of which is not to be sneezed at.

SMC Committee
Alters Regulations
At Yearly Meet

Honaker and McMurray At-
tend Annual Meeting
Of Committee

Several important changes in Smoky
Mountain athletic rules were made
Tuesday, when the annual SMC meet-
ing was held at Cumberland university
in Lebanon.

One of the most significant actions
taken by the representatives of mem-
ber schools was the revision of the
transfer rule.

At the suggestion of Coach L. S. Hon-
aker of Maryville, the conference voted
that "a person who has had any varsity
competition in any sport at a four-year
college shall not be allowed to transfer
to a school in the Smoky Mountain
Conference and participate in the sport
in which he participated in the other
conference."

On the suggestion of Dr. C. M. Eyler,
of Milligan, all athletics must be re-
gistered in college by October 1, instead
of October 15, as formerly.

The Conference also voted to require
five conference games to qualify a
team for the football championship.
Only four have been required hereto-
fore.
Other business included reelection

The annual football banquet, held in
Pearson's hall Thursday evening was
attended by fifty-eight persons, in-
cluding the entire grid squad, coaching
staff, and invited guests.

The dinner was planned and served
by Miss Suzanna Ware and a group of
student waitresses.

James Renfro, a local boy who was
center on the 1936 SMC second team
and alternate captain of this year's
Scots, was elected captain of the 1937
Highlanders. James Proffitt, guard, also
of Maryville, was chosen alternate cap-
tain. Toastmaster for the occasion was
Dr. M. M. Rodgers, Professor of Bible
at the College, and speakers were Dr.
McMurray, Dr. Briggs, President Lloyd,
coaches Honaker and Thrower, retir-
ing Captain Lynn "Corky" Crawford,
and Captain-elect James Renfro.

"Our material this year was below
the usual standard", Coach Honaker
told the gathering, "but their spirit-
probably the best I've seen in fifteen
years here— enabled the team to beat
some schools that were really better
than we were. All in all, it was a
satisfactory season."

Letters were awarded to Alexander,

THE ECHO?

The early bird not only catches the
worm, but gets first whack at the
morning newspaper.

The Maryville tank team initiates its
swimming season tonight at 8:00 when
they met the strong Y. M. C. A. team
of Knoxville in a practice meet at the
Bartlett pool.

Little is known of the strength of the
visiting aggregation but latest reports
indicate that most of last year's
veterans are back and they should
stack up stronger than they did last
year. They encountered Maryville twice
last year and the Scotties came out on
the short end of the score both times.
Maryville will undoubtedly enter the
contest as the underdog but they may
upset the dope and come through with
a victory.

Wicklund Stars

Although this is only a practice
meet, the relative strength of the
Scotties will be found out by their
showing tonight. The Highlanders will
present an evenly balanced team, every
department being filled by experienced
men.

The spotlight will be focused on
"Rusty" Wicklund, new water find,
from Gardner, Mass. Meeks and
Brown will probably swim the breast-
stroke while the diving will be in the
capable hands of Craine, Obert, and
Chandler.

Lowe, Brubaker, and Clemmer are
the outstanding men in the distance
swims and Clemmer and Lowe will
also enter in the dashes. In the back-
stroke the scotties will have Hilditch,
a veteran, and Taylor, a fine fresh-
man prospect.

Coach Fischbach expects to give
everyone on the squad a chance to
show his wares and it is possible that
he will use some of the new men in
the relays.

Tough SMC Schedule;

Vets Will Start

The Maryville Scotties blow the lid
off the current basketball season Tues-
day evening at 7:30 when they collide
with the Johnson Bible Collegians in
the Alumni gymnasium.

This game will be the only one be-
fore the Christmas vacation. After the
vacation the Highlanders swing into a
tough Smoky Mt. Conference schedule,
which includes East Tenn. Teachers,
Carson-Newman, King, Milligan, L.
M. U. and Tusculum college.

The Scots, defending champions of
the Smoky Mountain Conference, have
been working out since early this
fall. Coach Honaker, one of the most
successful basketball mentors in the
Smoky Mt. conference is displeased
with the way the team shapes up so far.
He is very uncertain about the starting
lineup but it is probable that Hannah,
ace pivot man, will lead a team of
veterans on the floor Tuesday night.
The starting lineup will probably
shape up as follows: Hannah, center;
Baird and McGill, forwards; Overly
and O'Dell at the guard positions. For
re-enforcements there will be Myers
and Stanley, centers; Black, Parker,
and Etheridge, forwards; and Augestme,
Herdanez, and William Baird guards.
Coach Honaker will spend the rest
of the week ironing out defensive aad
offensive faults that have been crop-
ping up since the beginning of the
season.

While Johnson Bible College is not
expected to extend Maryville they hold
having played two games. They drop-
ped one to Tenn. Wesley an 52 to 32
were also defeated by Carson Newman
68-20.

UNDER ALL CONDITIONS

WINTER COMES, with its added hazards
to all forms of transportation, the trains stand
out by reason of their exceptional depend-
ability and safety. • Railroading is based
upon all-weather principles, sharpened by
foresight. Railroads build track and equipment solidly.
They provide ample power, warmth and comfort. They clear
the way with snow plows, thaw out switches, inspect
Signals, keep in touch with trains by telephone and
telegraph. Theirs is a devoted and resourceful personnel,
accustomed to winning battles against the elements. • While
some regions of the Illinois Central System are more for-
tunate than others as regards the severity of winter, the
same care for safety and pride in performance hold true
throughout. Shovels for snow,
sandbags for flood, freight and
passenger cars as havens for
storm refugees — all are parts
of Illinois Central experience.
• Such a background leads to
constant preparedness for the
unexpected. That is why those
seeking winter transportation
consider it both smart and safe
to patronize the railroad.

REMINDER...

Students going home for the
holiday* will find railway trans-
portation admirably suited to
their needs.

Low iares invite acquaintance
with carriers that ought to be bet-
ter known to young people today.

New patrons will observe many
travel refinements, and they will
learn how great an emphasis our
railroads place upon dependa-
bility and safety.

sent me up here to get a line on what
they may expect to find in the old
sock on Christmas. B-r-r-r. You've
got a poor heating system up here.
And, incidentally, your Maryville
helper, Fred Jewett, gave me a black
list to give to you. Cross Bill Alston
off your sheet for rolling walnuts down
the halls in Carnegie; Helen Ridenhour
for drawing pictures during chapel;
Mark Andrews and John Magill for
over-sleeping Sunday morning; Henry
Swain for protruding his tongue at a
teacher whose back was turned; Ernie
Enslin for not bringing us those checks
we've been expecting from home; and
Gerald Beaver for buying marbles with
his Sunday school collection.
St. Nick: Not a gift for them, you bet!
A lump of coal is all they'll get.
Reporter: Hyuh, hyuh; By the way, old
boy, isn't it lonely here?
St. Nick: No. I work all day, and then
I begin
To read my scrapbook of the
ads I'm in.
Reporter: Modest fellow, aren't you?
You're getting along in years, now, and
need a rest. Why don't you let the
U. S. post office do your delivering
this year?

St. Nick: I broached the subject to Mr.
P Farley,

But he said, "No, I'm awfully
i sorry,

We can't deliver for you because
We've already got one Santa
Claus."
Reporter: Let me see what you have in

your sack.
St Nick: A tent and barker must surely
go.
. To Bill Karukas, the one-man-
show:
An empty barrel for Ed Lorenz,
I The unfortunate fellow who lost

his pentz;
A name like "Smith" to Looloian

I'll take,
. 'Cause it's about time his profs

got a break;
Some river scows Fred Tulloch
could use,
In Maryville, to fit him, there
are no shoes;

For Evan Renne — the villain, deep-
dyed,
Of Bainonian's play— some for-
maldehyde;
Joe Purvis Obert gets nothing, you
know;
I sent him his present a short
time ago;
Irwin and Ernest these fairy tales
rate,
This'll help them in keeping their
tall stories straight;
This baby's milk bottle to Mayo I'll
pass —
'Twill save him th' exertion of
holding the glass;
As waitress de-luxe Helen Solo-
mon's able —
These roller skates will help her
to wait on the table;
And many more gifts I have that
are good,
For all Maryvillians who behave
as they should.
Reporter: Oh-er-ah-by the way, there's
a little matter of a gift for me —
St. Nick: A mess of applesauce for you
I'll leave,

For what ye give others ye shall
receive.

WOMEN

(Continued from page one)
Josephine de Beauharnais' husband,
a vicomte, was guillotined in 1793, be-
cause at that time anyone who didn't
work for his living was a public enemy.
Jo married Napoleon while he was
still just a small-time politician and
soldier, but after the coup d 'etat she
was crowned empress, much to the
disgust of Napoleon's family. Because
she had no son to inherit the throne,
Napoleon divorced her. "Josephine,"
he said, "my destiny is superior to my
will; my dearest affections must give
way to the interests of France." (You
see, kings weren't so gallant in those
days as at present.) Jo, unlike another
woman we know of, had neither em-
pire nor husband. She died before the
Hundred Days— with Bonaparte's name
on her lips.

William Patterson was the second
richest man in the United States. While
he was living in Baltimore in 1803, his
attractive daughter, Betsy, fell in love
with, and married, Jerome Bonaparte,
younger brother of Napoleon. Napo-
leon refused to recognize the marriage.

He thundered, "So, sir, you are the
first to shamefully abandon your post.
It will require many splendid actions
to wipe that stain from your reputa-
tion. As to your love affair with this
little girl, I pay no regard to it at all."
Rather than "abandon his post" Jerome
abandoned his wife, Betsy, who re-
turned to Baltimore, a wretched woman
indeed. To escape the ridicule of her
friends, she fled to London, where no
scandal has ever been known to exist.
The treatment she received from the
Bonapartes sent her insane.

Recently, Edward Windsor, 42-year-
old ex-ruler of a fourth of the world's
population, calmly announced that he
could no longer carry on his kingly
duties without a wife to hold his hand
and darn his socks. Meanwhile, another
Baltimore lassie, 40 years old, hiding in
public at Cannes, nervously bit her
fingernails and wondered how one puts
on one's hat over a crown. Perhaps it's
just as well for her that her next hus-
band won't be an emperor — there's
not much chance for advancement.

Lives of women oft remind us,
Ours can only be sublime,

When we keep the girls behind us,
Pay no notice to their line.

Changes in schedule will be made
in the Personnel office on February 5.
Beginning February 8, there will be a
fine of 25c for each change made. Stu-
dents should check schedules care-
fully for conflicts before that date,
since similar charge will be made for
unchanged conflicts.

"The Mikado," one of the most well
known of a score of light operas by
Gilbert and Sullivan, will be produced
on March 12 by the combined Glee
clubs and orchestra of the college un-
der the direction of Ralph Colbert,
music instructor.

Tryouts for the nine leading parts
and practices for the entire chorus
and principals will begin soon under
Mr. Colbert's baton. The orchestra,
however, will not begin now. This is
the second season that Mr Colbert has
been director of the light opera and
the fourth season that he has been
connected with it.

"The Mikado", or "The Town of
Titipu", is laid in Japan and is a comic
love story with Nanki-Poo, the son
of the Mikado of Japan, disguising him-
self as a wandering minstrel seeking
to marry Yum- Yum, beautiful daugh-
ter of the Lord High Executioner of
Titipu. Among the many well known
selections found in this light opera are

Social Committee
Announces Plans

Formal Dinner, Community
Sing Scheduled

The Social committee, through its
chairman, Don Hallam, has announced
plans for activities of the new year as
formulated in its meeting last Wed-
nesday evening.

On the evening of February 3, the
last day of the semester, a formal din-
ner will be followed by an As-You-
Like-It, in which a travel motif will be
carried out.

Many social committee functions
have not been planned for the month
of January, because of activities al-
ready scheduled, and because of the
pressure of examinations. Plans are
being worked out, however, for a com-
munity sing to be held soon.

Members of the social committee in-
clude: Don Hallam, Marion Lodwick,
Joan Dexter, Irrna Souder, Bob Gilles-
pie, Don Stevens; and from the faculty,
Miss Jessie Johnson, Dr. R. E. Hunter,
Mr. Ralph Colbert, Dr. H. E. Orr, and
Mrs. Grace P. Snyder. One member of
the committee, Wilson Leathers, has re-
signed his duties for this year.

The next meeting of the Social com-
mittee will be held Wednesday evening
at the home of Miss Johnson.

nouncement this week relative to new
courses and changes in schedule:
History 326, advanced British
history, will not be given this year.
Home Economics 202, costume
design, is broken into two units,
202f2 a two hour credit course,
four laboratory hours a week, a
course in costume designing; 206x,
lecture at 3 o'clock Friday, a one

This second unit is recommended
not only for home economics
majors but also for dramatic art
students and others with interest
in the history of costume. Both
Miss Gertrude Meiselwitz and Miss
Mary Armstrong will have part in
these courses.

Home Economics 318D, which has

Records and Citizens Reveal

Why Maryville Is Maryville

By OTTO PFLANZE

A few weeks ago the query was made by an Echo writer, "Why was
Maryville named Maryville?" With his curiosity fully aroused this author
consulted several musty volumes pertaining to local history in the city library
and interviewed some of the town's oldest citizens. He found that
the story back of that name involves national as well as local history.

The atmosphere of Congress was electric. A constant roar of conversation
filled the room as the bewigged Congressmen leaned out of their seats to confer
with colleagues. The roar quieted down to a tense murmur as a speaker mounted
the rostrum. In his hand he held a message from President John Adams, and
as he read the members strained to catch every word.

The security of the young republic, K
he announced, was in serious danger.
A plot had been uncovered in which
certain men high in political affairs
were conspiring to aid the Spanish in
seizing American territory west of the
Appalachians. The success of the plot
would mean the loss of much land as
well as the presence of an overpower-
ing foreign nation at America's back
door. It would prove, he believed, to be
a definite check on the county's grow-
ing power and might eventually end in
foreign domination.
There were several such conspiracies

in early American history. Aaron Burr

had been brought to trial on such a

charge, and no less a person than

Andrew Jackson had been implicated.

On this occasion the accusing finger

was pointed at one William Blount, a

member of the Senate.
The accusation brought about a

furore of discussion, for Blount was

considered a prominent member of the

body and had had a distinguished

career in Southern politics. He had

previously been a member of both

Continental congresses and had helped

frame the Constitution. President

Washington had looked upon Blount

as a personal friend, and had appointed

him to the superintendency of Indian

affairs and territorial governor of Ten-
nessee. He had proven immensely

popular with the people of that district,

Must Tell Truth To Freshmen

Wearing Long Pants In Rain

By FRED RHODY

I am entirely out of sympathy with
those pathetically cynical creatures
who delight in breaking little hearts
by destroying faith in beloved legends;
those people, for example, who ridicule
the accepted stories of how the rabbit
lost his tail, and how the Republican
party lost its shirt.

Nevertheless, having noticed several
first year boys appearing on the cam-
pus in long trousers, I have concluded
that the freshmen are reaching the age
when the truth must be told to them.
Away with false reticence, and let the
truth be told! Possibly some of the
keener minds among the freshmen
have already suspected this: life at
Maryville is not all sunshine. Very
frequently, in fact, this locality ex-
periences precipitations which in any
other place would be occasions for
calling out the militia and Red Cross;
here such a thing is just "a shower —
might be over in a week or so."

Now, having utterly and magnifi-
cently annihilated the reader's child-
like confidence in those pernicious
railroad advertisements referring to the
"sunny southland." let me crawl into
the good graces of local readers by

mentioning some of the manifold ad-
vantages of living in this land of plenty
(rain).

First, the saving in clothes is tre-
mendous. A rain coat costs very little
when compared to an overcoat, and
the rain coat is worn continuously from
November to May, being removed only
at meal and bed-times. It is true that
hats, shoes, trousers, and stockings
suffer slightly from the chronic down-
pour (we recommend two applications
of shellac); but you get my point, I'm
sure.

Then, too, everyone knows that noth-
ing is better for the complexion than
rain water. If our coeds would toss
away the umbrellas and let the rain at
their faces, we should soon be recog-
nized as the College of Beautifully-
Complexioned Women. Unfortunately,
repeated soakings tend to hasten the
departure of the hair from the head,
and we can not conscientiously advise
the shellac treatment in .this case.

Another advantage of living here
amongst the rain drops — we can splash
around through puddles all day with-
out hearing the admonitions of a fond
parent concerning the wearing of over-

Fever Apparatus

Pre-meds Have Physical
Therapy Demonstration

At a meeting of the Pre-medical club
Monday night in science hall, Doctor
T. T. Gibson, prominent Knoxville phy-
sician, discussed and demonstrated a
heat fever machine, which is part of
physical therapy.

The machine, which has saved in
16 years all but two of Dr. Gibson's
pneumonia patients, is a rectangular
bo*, wound with electric wires. A
cable, which projects from the machine,
is wound around the diseased part of
the patient. The current is applied, and
a slight sensation of electricity goes
through the body as it heats. By keep-
ing the body at a high temperature for
a certain time the disease carrying
germs are killed.

The electric knife, which makes it
possible to cauterize the human flesh
as it is being cut in an operation, was
shown, and Dr. Gibson described an
ultra violet ray that would heal these
wounds rapidly.

Student Council
Studies Problems

Luminati Appoints Three
To Consider Clubs

At a meeting of the Student Council
held Thursday night, a committee was
appointed to investigate and stimulate
activities of the various organized state
clubs on the campus. Also proposals
on a number of campus problems were
passed for consideration by the Stu-
dent-Faculty committee.

The state clubs of the campus have
been experiencing difficulties in se-
curing places to meet, and places for
activities on the activities calendar.
Considering these clubs as a vital part
of the recreative life of the campus, the
Council passed on a proposal, and
Charles Luminati, president, appointed
a committee composed of Jean Brand,
Kay Quass, and Tom Bryan, to assist
in the work of the state clubs.

Campus problems soon to be pre-
sented to the Student-Faculty com-
mittee involved the water hole in the
road near Carnegie, safety drills and
devices for Memorial and Baldwin, and
the burden of examinations during the
last few days of the semester.

A proposal is now under considera-
tion by the Council concerning the
proposed National Youth Act, which
wotild make the present Federal aid
to students permanent. Action will not
be taken upon this subject until a
forthcoming meeting, pending further
development and the attitude of the
student body.

Theta Epsilon will make a strong bid
for the coveted Theta Alpha Phi cup
when an able cast, headed by Deane
Bell in the title role and Gordon
Bennett opposite, will present on
February 5 the popular Pulitzer Prize
play, "Craig's Wife," by George Kelly.

The entire cast consists of Deane
Bell as Craig's wife; Gordon Bennett
as Walter Craig; Gloria Miller, Mrs
Harold; Curtmarie Brown, Mazie the
maid; Simpson Spencer, Billy Birk-
mire; Bruce Walters, Eugene Fred-
ericks; Irene Browder, Miss Austen;
Marguerite Gray, Mrs Frazier; Kath-
eine Warren, Ethel Landreth; and Fred
Brubaker and Bill Swearingen, detec-
tives.

"Craig's Wife" centers around the
domestic relations of Craig's family, and
the setting is ultra-modernistic. No
play of this type has ever been pre-
sented in Maryville before. The cos-
tumes are very elaborate, designed
from those in the movie recently pro-
duced.

Clara Balcom, stage manager for the
play, has been working for some time
towards a successful production. Joan
Dexter is in charge of the costumes,
and Emma Katherine Smith will act
as business manager. Mrs Nita Eckles
West is the coach.

Senior Entertainment

Will Be Theatre Party

Changes Are Made
In Midwinter Cast

The first of this year's entertainment
for the members of the senior class
will be given in the form of a theatre
party this Monday evening at seven
p. m., when the group will leave Pear-
sons parlor for the Capitol theatre to
see the "Gold Diggers of 1937."

The party will be open only to
seniors.

After the performance the group will
go to Reagan's cafe for refreshments.

Athenian will present its midwinter,
"Graastark," on the evening of Febru-
ary 26th, with three important changes
having been made recently in the
cast. The lead will be carried by
Gerald Beaver, who will have opposite
him Lois Black.

LeRoy Obert, veteran of the Mary-
ville stage, originally slated for the
lead, has found it necessary to relin-
quish the role. Robert Goff, formerly
Prince Gabriel in the cast, is leaving
school at the end of the present semes-
ter; and Russell Stevenson has found
it impossible to play the role of Prince
Lorenz. Besides Beaver, new members
of the cast are G. L. Hunt as Harry
Anguish, and William Kayrukas as
Prince Lorenz.

Miss Black was cast last year in the
Bainonian play. "The Stubbornness of
Geraldine". Mr. Beaver will be remem-
bered for his pleasing work as Almeric
in Athenian's "The Man From Home".
Others in the cast include Malcolm
Brown, James McNeel, Martha Sue
Cornette, and Marion Lodwick.

Feature Section
Of 1937 Annual
Has Senior Page

A decision to include pictures of
twenty senior men and women selected
subjectively on a personality basis in
the feature division of the 1937 Chil-
howean has been announced by John
Stafford, feature editor, and Roberta
Enloe, associate editor, this week. The
informal portraits, in a photo-montage
effect, will occupy two pages.

The junior section of the yearbook,
somewhat larger than those of preced-
ing years, is being prepared for the
printer today. Proofs of the zinc en-
gravings for the divisional pages and
those of part of the senior section have
been returned from Knoxville this
week.

An advertising campaign designed to
speed up subscription sales for the
annual is being launched by John
Mclntyre, business manager, and Henry
Swain.

Cusworth Fills Vacancy

All college students and faculty have
been invited to attend the joint meet-
ing of Theta Epsilon and Alpha Sigma
next Saturday evening in Bartlett
gymnasium.

A varied program, initiated by these
two societies, with contributions from
other students, will constitute enter-
tainment at this open house.

Bob Cusworth has been selected to
fill the vacancy left by Wilson Leathers
in the Y. M. C. A. cabinet, according
to an announcement made by Dick
Schlafer, president of the Y. Leathers,
before leaving college, was song leader
at the weekly meetings.

Professor Kenneth R. Lagerstedt will
be the speaker at the Y. meeting to-
morrow afternoon at 1:15 in the Bart-
lett hall auditorium.

Dr. E. R. Hunter, director of curri-
culum, under whose direction plana for
a system of comprehensive examina-
tions for seniors have been formulated
has released the following statement
concerning the administration of these
tests this year.

These examinations will be held on
two successive afternoons, Thursday
and Friday, May 6 and 7. The examina-
tions are expected to require six hours
and will be definitely limited to eight
hours as a maximum.

These examinations are not exami-
nations directly on "courses" but in
a "field". The field to be covered is
the student's major field and its re-
lated courses. Material of the related
courses will be thought of as a part ofl
the student's field in the respect that
the student will be encouraged to
bring these materials into the discus-
sion of the topics treated.

The purpose of these examinations is
not to catch the student or to probe
his knowledge for details of fact, but
rather to give him an opportunity to
relate the materials of his field to each
other and to demonstrate his ability
to give clear and effective expression to
what he knows.

The form of the examination is, in
general, to follow not the detailed, ob-
jective type, but is to consist of larger
units of material in the form of dis-
cussion of topics by means of essays,
or of the solution of problems, or of
the translation and construing of
passages, or of whatever means is best
adapted to each field of subject matter.
There is to be provided liberal option
of topics from which to choose, but at
the same time, provision for a repre-
sentative spread over the field.

Educator Speaks
At Faculty Club

About sixty-five members of the
faculty club, at its monthly meeting last
Monday evening, heard Mr. W. E.
Evans, principal of the Knoxville High
school, discuss the developments and
trends in courses and curricular activity
in high schools today.

Following the dinner Mr. Ralph
Collins showed a cinema of folk dances

Neu? Diamonds
Sparkle Among
Senior IPomen

The Christmas season, whatever else
it might have done, has brought close
confirmation of the suspicions of the
campus populace in general as to who
might or might not be engaged. A
glance at the rings flashing on the left
hands of several coeds reveals a half
dozen approaching marriages.

Among those noticed has been that
of Lois Brown, whose engagement to
Bob Downes, '36, has been announced.
At present Bob is studying at Prince-
ton Theological seminary.

Some of the students will r^wnber
John McQueen, '34, who will finish his
course this year at the Louisville Pres-
byterian seminary. Lillian Crawford is
wearing his ring.

There's still another minister in-
volved in this, judging by the ring seen
on Katharine Montgomery's finger, for
which Merritt Slawson, graduate of
'35. is responsible.

Anyone observing closely when Mary
Frances Dunlap chews her nails will
see a ring that came from Stanley
Shields, better known as "Skeeter."
remembered as a former Maryville
football star.

It is rumored that Dorothy Morrison
will be married in June to Eddie Heidt,
of Taneytown, Maryland; and it is a
fact that she is wearing a ring.

Elizabeth Cass and Hazel Beaver also,
wear new diamonds.

"SOMETHING
SHOULD BE DONE—"

In the Flambeau, Tallahassee's F. S.
C. W. publication, editors of college news-
papers may find a terse statement of what
is wrong with the college press as an in-
stitution, and with the editors themselves
as commentators through their editorials.

"It is a discouraging job," a scribe
records, "to try to find in a week's ex-
changes one editorial which is really worth
reprinting. It seems that college editors
are at their best in the job of cheer-leaders
for athletics, singers for the long gone
past, simperers over alma mater and her
latest brain child. Try to find one editor
in a dozen, however, who is capable of
turning out some decent logic on really
important student matters or an unsenti-
mental commentary on school progress."

All of which strikes any enterprising
young editor squarely on the chin, and
brings his vertebral column into alignment
with his ambitions. The purpose of college
journalism, as the Flambeau puts it, "to
rise to the highest journalistic standards
and yet remain interesting to college read-
ers," is a double one in which it is difficult
to fulfill one condition without neglecting
the other.

And what of the campus "public," for
whom papers are created, and by whom
they are supported? "Allow one bad
journalistic error to slip into the college
paper, and the general public, faculty and
students immediately clamor for more,"
says the Flambeau. Inevitable conflicts
arise when cultural and broadened
editorial policies come into contact with
student bodies striving ever for the
"collegiate," or when an editor of limited
intellect and unlimited journalistic intro-
version attempts to write for educated
men and women.

The Flambeau has "room to rave." It
would be well if it would not abandon its
crusade, but could succeed in eradicating
from the editorial files "collegiate" jour-
nalism."

Two familiar phrases are heard on
every campus, "I've never cracked a
book," and "I was bored to death." By
these phrases is the pseudo-sophisticate,
whose idea of things collegiate is born of
his high school fancies and pre-depression
movies, forever identified. We wonder
how many of his achievements will ever
"crack a book."

And as for those who find life at twenty
too dull, we dedicate this wise old say-
ing of old Ling Po, "None are so boring
as the bored."

EVERY YEAR some people ignore
their obligations and priviledges. Those
who fail to attend class meetings or to pay
their dues are the same ones who take no
interest in their societies, who do not
read the Echo or support the yearbook,
who constantly whine about the regula-
tions; yet they are willing to attend a
party planned by someone else, or an
athletic contest where others do the
fighting.

HOW TO APPLY ART...

-O-

The gloomy guy who is always throwing a wet
blanket on the happiness of others should spend eternity
hanging the blanket up to dry.

By WALTER WEST

High up on the fourth floor of Science hall is one of
the most interesting spots on the campus, the studio of ap-
plied arts. Travelers expect to find art studios in the
garrets of London or Paris tenements, but who would
look for one on a campus so outwardly prosaic as many
of us believe Maryville to be?

Browsing about the campus, a reporter paid a visit
to the studio. On the walls of one room he saw ranged
partly completed fabric paintings, done with oil colors.
One painting was of a rock bridge over a rippling brook,
with a house on a hillside in the background. Beside it
was hung the bare outline pattern from which the whole
work was copied. Nearby hung a picture of an Egyptian
princess, on brown fabric which made the yellow hue of
her skin stand out in striking contrast. Off in one corner
a simple, six-inch magazine advertisement design was be
ing transformed into a varicolored parakeet.

Some of the students were doing wood burned
etchings. One of the best executed might be named "A
Stairway to Heaven." And some of the workers, not con-
tent with the more artistic aspect to the course, applied
their artisan skill to repairing furniture, renewing up-
holstery, and matching colors and styles of home fur-
nishings.

If you would like to see something really interest-
ing, drop up there to Fayerweather's fourth floor some
time and see what the students are doing. And, young
fellow, if a woman who has had that course tells you it's
not good taste to wear a green tie with a blue shirt, you
had better believe her. She knows what she is talking
about!

HAPPINESS IS RELATIVE

The happy man has nothing, yet possesses everything.
The unhappy man possesses everything and has nothing.

PERPETUAL GROUCH

The grouchiest person in the world is the man who

Winter is an old, old man
Who walks among barren trees
And listens to the sighing branches
In the biting breeze.

COMPRflHENSIVES

(.Continued from page one)
By the beginning of the second
semester, each department is to make
available to its major students a very
general statement of the ground to be
covered in its examination.

At least at the beginning, the fol-
lowing relation of performance on the
comprehensive to graduation require-
ments is to be recognized.

Grade on Grade-point

Comprehensive Valuation

A plus 135

A 120

A minus 105

B plus 90

B 75

B minus 60

C plus 45

C 30

C minus 15

D 0

E minus 15

F minus 30

The grade-point requirement would
be revised from the present require-
ment of 366 points on 122 hours (C
average), to 366 plus 30 (C average
plus C grade on comprehensive
examination), or if more hours are
taken, a C average plus 30 grade points.
A D grade on the comprehensive
examination does not add to the stu-
dent's record or grade points. For
every letter division above D a quali-
tative value of 15 grade points is set
and for the two levels below D a de-
duction of 15 grade points is set.

A student who has on his course
record 400 grade points and makes an
F on the comprehensive examination
would have his total thus reduced to
370 which is 26 short of the required
396 (366 plus 30) and would not gradu-
ate until a successful performance on
the comprehensive examinations one
year or more later.

The E grade is recognized here only
in relation to the comprehensive
examination. It represents failure but
not so complete a failure as is repre-
sented by F. Perhaps its range may be
thought of as the 10 percentage points
below D.

During the second semester seniors
will be excused from the regular an-
nounced tests and examinations in
courses in their major field and re-
lated courses. The "examination" factor
in semester grades in these courses is
to be taken over from the grade on
the comprehensive examination.

Students who finish course require-
ments at mid-year will either return
to the campus for the comprehensive
examination in the following May or,
if that offers serious difficulty, will be
given the examination at home under
approved supervision.

Students doing honors work in
fields other than their major will be
excused from the written phase of the
comprehensive examination in the
honors work field taking the oral
honors examination, but the written
comprehensive examination in the
major field.

It is not yet definitely settled whether
honors work students will take the
same written comprehensive exami-
nation as other -seniors.

MARYVILLE NAMED

(Continued from page one)
and when the state of Tennessee was
formed he had been unanimously elect-
ed to the Senate.

Although he protested his innocence,
Blount could disprove nothing. He was
consequently expelled from the Senate,
and an attempt to bring him to trial
failed only because of the lack of evi-
dence.

Upon returning to Tennessee Blount
expected to be met with hisses and
catcalls. However, it was quite the
opposite, for the people were unable
to believe that their leader was guilty
of such a crime. In order to show their
confidence in him, they elected Blount
to the state legislature, and upon en-
tering that body he was made speaker.
Members of the legislature, in order to
establish a lasting proof of their re-
cord, named a new county which had
been formed south of Knoxville in
honor of Blount and the county seat in
honor of his wife Mary Blount.

And so the names, Maryville and
Blount County, stand as monuments to
show the loyalty and affection of the
people of the state for one of their
greatest leaders. Tennesseans have no
cause to regret that fidelity, for his-
torians have proved that Blount was
not implicated in the conspiracy.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO JANUARY 16, 1937

Some years back — about 1891, it was — a young Y.
M. C. A. instructor had a brilliant idea. His gym classes
had "holed in" for the winter, and were losing interest
fast. Just how he got this inspiration will probably never
be known. The result, however, will not soon be forgotten.
For you see, young James Naismith, of Princeton, Massa-
chusetts, invented basketball.

At first, of course, the game was simple. Equipment was not available,
and had to be invented along with costumes, rules, and the like. But never
did a sport spread so widely in such a short time. In due course, it found a
receptive spot in the state of Indiana, which has since been known as "the
basketball state."

And take it from a Hoosier, they really live basketball up there. Every
peach basket sent within the boundaries finds its way onto a wall, and be-
come the tafget for a quintet of enthusiasts, all the way from six to sixty.

Why, the first words a child ever speaks up in Indiana are, "mama,"
"papa," and "Whaddya mean, referee?"

And, if some Hoosier mother's fair-haired one can't tell you the names
of the local varsity, with weights, records, and family history, before he's
reached the callous age of four, people start' watching for week-minded
tendencies.

But we were talking about history. When basketball became firmly
entrenched in American sportdom, it found its way into college athletic
schedules with unprecedented ease. Conference competition had a new sport,
and everybody was happy.

Since those early years, basketball has developed into one of the fastest,
most complex games played on foot. Ideally suited to the winter season, it has

Defense of Championship

Begun With Easy

47-24 Win

The Maryville College cagers, cham-
pions of the Smoky Mountain Con-
ference, began defense of their laurels
Tuesday with a 47-24 win over East
Tennessee Teachers.

"We are about the same as last year",
Coach L. S. Honaker stated when
questioned on the merits of the 1937
Scotties. "If there is any great differ-
ence it is the fact that our reserve
strength is much better this year. So
far, our subs are looking better than
the first five. The addition of Parker,
Stanley, Hernandez, and several other
men playing their first year, has help-
ed us considerably."

Despite Coach Honaker's lament that
"we looked terrible against Teachers",
the Scots rate an excellent chance to
repeat as Smoky Mountain champs this

filled an empty spot for sports-lovers, and is second only to football in college j season. They return all five of last

athletics.

Which all brings us back to 1927, and the fact that a mighty fine
handful of basketeers has been performing for the orange and garnet lately.

Seems as if Maryville is fortunate when it comes to the sphere-tossers.
About twenty years ago, on January 12, 1917, the Scotties edged out Tusculum
college, 83-11. Said the sports scribe, "Prospects for a fine season are looking
up . . The Scotties will play U. T. in Knoxville on January 20."

If your editor doesn't find that next paper he'll go mad.

Toss away the tests tonight, and we'll see you over at the gyro, where Bob

into a wrestling team. As far back as we can remember, he's always done pretty
w«ilL So we're looking for some action tonight.

Several Students
Will Not Return

A number of students have indicated
their plans for leaving Maryville with
the close of the present semester. Ralph
Joseph, and Ina Lovingood, freshmen,
did not return after the Christams
holidays. Stanley McCleave and Samuel
Houck will complete their graduation
requirements this month.

Martha Evelyn McSpadden, senior,
has announced her plans to teach
school in Kentucky instead of returning
for the second semester. Wilson
Leathers, well-known junior, has ac-
cepted a position in Pittsburg. Steve
Adkins will work in Cleveland, Ohio,
and attend Western Reserve university.
Ruth Collette intends to enter Stetson
university at DeLand, Florida next
semester. Doris Ann Hill, Helen Solo-
mon, William Chittick, and Robert
Goff are among the other students
leaving Maryville.

Sigma and Theta Epsilon.

year's starting lineup, including Baird
and McGill, forwards, Hannah all-con-
ference center; and Overly and Odell,
guards. The incoming stars include
Caney Stanley; freshman ball-hawk
from Oneida; Parker and Hernandez
transfers from Mars Hill college; Black
captain at Iliwassee last year; and
Baird, Etbardege, and Myers, crack
freshman prospects.

Outstanding among this new group,
according to Honaker, are Stanley,
Parker, and Hernandez, any one of
whom may be substituted without
weakening the team. They have been
instrumental in the Scots' opening
victories, which include two wins from
Johnson Bible college and Tuesday's
conquest of Teachers.

The ability to substitute freely may
mean a lot to the Honakermen when
they get into the thick of the Smoky
Mountain title chase.

The schedule is as follows:

Jan. 16 Lincoln Memorial — there
19 Mynatts (Knox.) — here
21 Austin Peay— here
22 King— here
23 Emory-Henry— there

Upon Dave Brittain's bringing to the
class on the primary school a small
model of a dam, and explaining his
very good reasons for, choosing this
as his project, Miss Keller exclaimed,
"Now, class, you can see just how much
good these dam projects do!", and
thereby expressed the sentiment of the

Start New Class

McGill, Clark Teach Ten
Women Twice Weekly

Approximately ten women comprise
the newly organized women's fencing
class which meets twice each week
under the direction of Bill McGill, cap-
tain of the college team; and Vernon
Clark, an experienced fencer in the
freshman class.

The class is associated with the ath-
letic department and is under the
supervision of Mrs. Verton M. Queener.
She has announced that some equip-
ment may be purchased by the depart-
ment. Mrs. Grace P. Snyder, super-
visor of Women's residences is an ar-
dent member of the class.

Bill McGill states, "Now that the
Christmas holidays are over the Girl's
Fencing Class may be resumed in pro-
per measure. Before this it was nec-
essary to take the training quite
slowly since what was learned might
be quite easily forgotton over the long
holiday." Every Saturday and Wednes-
day afternoon the lessons are given
by the two men students.

During the coming week McGill and
Bob Brandriff, manager of the Men's
Fencing team, expect to arrange several
matches with the Knoxville Y. M. C.

team in Tennessee.

1937 Campaign
With Knoxville Y

Highlanders Have Several
Inexperienced Men

Coach Bob Thrower's "Wrasslers",
opening their 1937 campaign, tonight
at 8:00, will attempt to extend their
string of victories over Knoxville Y.
M. C. A.

For the first time in several years
the "Y" team of Coach Bob Maher is
conceded at least an even chance to
humble the Scots, kingpins of Ten-
nessee amateur wristling for the last
six seasons.

This condition is due not only to the
Scotties' graduation losses and crippled
condition but also to a much improved
Knoxville aggregation.

Coach Maher has announced to
Knoxville sport scribes that his team
has its best chance in years to register
a win. Led by Capt. Tom Askin, at 135
pounds, the "Y" grapplers are certain
to provide a real obstacle for the Scot
grunters, who are opening with in-
experienced men in several weight
divisions.

The lineups will probably be as
follows:

day ahead of time, even when that
exam is in Chaucer. The student in
question is Joe Ernest who arrived in
Dr. Hunter's classroom, all prepared
for a test, exactly 24 hours too early
one day this week.

Adding another win to their growing
string, Coach L. S. Honaker's basketeers
last night defeated the Norris T. V. A's
39-30.

Starting slowly, the Scots let the
Norris men slip away to an early lead,
but found their eye for the basket in
time to hold a 16-15 edge at the half.
After this it was all Maryville. The
Honakermen turned loose McGill and
Hannah with their free-wheeling
shooting magic and the T. V. A's,
although fighting gamely, soon realized
it wasn't their night.

Hannah, Maryville's all-conference
pivot man, led the scorers with 14
points. S. Longmire registered 13 for
the visitors, while McGill followed
with eight points for Maryville.

The work of Junior Odell under the
goals was a feature of the game. Be-
sides scoring six points for himself, he
saved many more by hawking TVA
passes and rebounds.

Stanley, lanky freshman, also put up
a good game, scoring seven points and
enjoying a good night on the floor.

In the preliminary the Scot reserves
tossed the Knoxville Demolays for a
21-13 decision.

UNCEASING CARE

"Long life and prosperity!" That is the toast of the New Year.
And it is the toast of our American railroads, for— factors other
than transportation being equal — their travelers live the
longest and their shippers suffer the least from loss and
damage. • That well-known motto "Safety First! "is derived
from the opening rule in the book of railway operation:
"Safety is of the first importance in the discharge of duty."
• Railway safety is enhanced by strong track, automatic
train control, electric block signals, improved braking,
special safeguards on trains, constant inspection and repair
of equipment, constant schooling of the men at work. • As a
result, on the travel side alone, 99 of the 142 principal Ameri-
can railroads recently completed 15 years with not a pas-
senger fatality in a train accident— this despite the movement
annually of hundreds of millions of passengers billions of
miles. The Illinois Central is
now in its ninth consecutive
year of similar safety to pas-
sengers. • Protection of freight,
as measured by claim pay-
ments, is likewise at a high
standard, the loss declining in
recent years to considerably less
than a dollar per revenue car.

REMINDER . . .

Safety, like charity, must begin at
home if patrons axe to be pro-
tected in their lives and property.
I am especially proud of the fact
that thousands of Illinois Central
supervisory employes hold cards
testifying to years of clear safety
records for the men under their
direction.

housing conditions and sanitation;

survey of present day housing
conditions." This course will have
interest not only for home econo-
mics majors but also for sociology
and economics students.

Latin £-4d6 is a new offering, the
fundamentals of language study.
It is designed especially for stu-
dents who have had difficulty get-
ting started in college language
study, either because of no high-
school language or a weak pre-
paration in language. This course
will meet every day and carries a
full year of credit, 6 hours. It will
begin very simply with an effort
to lay a foundation for studying a
language. The languages used for
illustration and study will be
illustration and study will be Eng-
lish and Latin. At the end of the
courses the student may either go on
with a second year of Latin and so
complete his language requirements,
or begin another language and
carry it for two years, receiving
elective credit on the fundamentals
of language study. Miss Almira
Bassett will teach this course.

Instead of Mathematics 302C,
spherical trigonometry, Mathema-
tics 306f, the history of mathema-
tics, will be given.

Music 102 and 202, the courses
in theory, will be broken into two
units 102, 104; 202, 204. The first
element is harmony; the second is
ear training and sight singing,
which will meet twice a week for
one hour of credit, and may be
taken separately from the harmony.

There will be two sections of
general psychology, Psychology
201b and 201d. Psychology 315,
minor psychological problems,
will be given as a three-hour
course, the class to meet at "A" as
scheduled, and the third hour to
be arranged for individually.

known to follow cruises "a pied" through
the various bodies of water on the cam-
pus, but no drownings are on record.
Students are warned, however, that
they navigate at their own peril the
lake across the road from Carnegie's
entrance; it hasn't been charted yet.

It is to be regretted that the machina-
tions and perpetrations of Mr. Brown's
campus crew have deprived the college
of a most satisfactory lake over by Wil-
son field. Just when the prospects for
good fishing and boating seemed
bright, the site was leveled and drained.
Plans had to be cancelled for the rais-
ing of funds for a college pleasure
yacht, and the racing crew which was
being organized was disbanded,

Having thus prepared the freshmen
and new students to expect a bit of
dampness during the next few months,
I am now free to turn again to my
efforts to perfect a compact, easily-
carried campus-compass, marked with
the buildings, such es Carnegie, Thaw
and Pearsons, instead of the directions.

While Professor McMurray was at
Harvard, a house belonging to him
was sold for twenty-one cents, back
taxes. When he acquired the house, he
had neglected to secure a clear title to
the property, and was unaware of the
unpaid taxes. He redeemed the house
later by paying the twenty-one cents.

Sir William Gilbert, English play-
wright and humorist of the last cen-
tury, librettist for the famous light
opera duo. first wrote comedies in
1866; and in 1871 he began that colla-
boration with Sullivan which lasted
for twenty years. A few of their light
operas are "H. M. S. Pinafore", "Pirates
of Penzance", and "Iolanthe".

Sir Arthur Sullivan, one of the most
famous composers of the nineteenth
century, in addition to composing the
music for all the Gilbert and Sullivan
operas, wrote the famous "Lost Chord",
"Onward, Christian Soldier," and many
other hymns.

The Mikado" will be the first light
opera presented at Maryville in many
years. In the spring of 1935 an opera
fantasy, "Briar Rose", was presented,
and in 1936 the operetta, "Jewels of the

Holidays Increase Illness

Since the Christmas holidays the
number of patients at the College hos-
pital has been greatly increased. Eleven
patients have been confined there dur-
ing the past week.

Patients now at the hospital are: Pat
Mann, Raymond Clements, Fern Un-
thank, Mildred Constant, and William
Napier. Jane Brunson, Frank Morrow,
Lavona Greenlee, Jean Brand, and
Arlene Bruton have been released re-
cently. Harriet Barber, who was con-
fined for a few days, is now at her
home in Knoxville.

It has been said that cleanliness is
next to godliness. We wonder if that
is the reason Saturday comes before
Sunday.

Dr. Morgan Writes
Of Meeting Plans

Leader Has Deep Interest
In February Services

Dr. Howard Moody Morgan, pastor
of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church,
Philadelphia, the leader of the 61st
series of February meetings which
opens on February 9, has written of his
deep interest and keen anticipation of
his service at Maryville.

In a recent letter to President Lloyd
he wrote as follows:

"I am looking forward with great
eagerness to the services at Maryville
college; and I have received a splendid
letter from Dr. Louis Evans congratu-
lating me on the high privilege which
is to be mine. Then others here in
Philadelphia, who themselves have been
present at these services, voice equally
high praise for what they have meant
in their lives."

Likewise, the Reverend S. E. String-
ham, who is to lead the singing, has
written from St. Louis of his anticipa-
tion of this fifteenth series of February
meetings in which he has participated.

Choir Sings Anthem,
Spiritual At Vespers

Ralph W. Colbert, voice in-
structor and leader of the college
choir and glee clubs, is arrang-
ing special music for Sunday
night's vesper service. He will
lead the choir in "Send Forth Thy
Spirit," a seven-part anthem by
Schuetky, and "Listen to the
Lambs," a spiritual in eight
parts, in an arrangement by Dett.

"Lamento," arranged by Gab-
riel-Maire, will be played as a
cello solo by Erwin Ritzman,
freshman from Reading, Penn-
sylvania.

Faculty Members
Attend Meetings

President Lloyd Receives
Honors At Washington

Last week President Ralph W. Lloyd
and Professor Edmund W. Davis at-
tended in Washington the meetings of
four different associations in which
Maryville has membership, the Presby-
terian College union, the Council of
Church Boards of Education, the Na-
tional Conference of Church Related
Colleges, and the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges.

Most of the conference groups were
composed of college presidents, but
there were a few faculty members and
trustees also present.

President Lloyd, as chairman of a
special committee appointed a year
ago to consider the policy, finances, and
plans of church colleges organized in
America, addressed the National Con-
ference of Church Related Colleges.
Four other college presidents served
on the committee.

Dr. Lloyd was elected vice president
and member of the executive committee
of the National Conference, and re-
ceived appointment on the college com-
mission of the Council of Church
Boards of Education for next year, and
to the executive board of the Presby-
terian College union for three years.

The association of American Colleges
has a membership of about five hun-
dred institutions, and the number in
attendance at the various meetings was
nearly four hundred.

Luminal i Resigns Post

Heading Pre-Law Club

Charles Luminati, president of the
Pre-Law club, tendered his resignation
at a meeting of that organization Wed-
nesday evening. Luminati is said to
have given up the position because of
the press of his school work and his
activities in other organizations. He is
president of the Student council and
business manager of the Highland Echo.

Walter West was elected to fill the
vacancy, and will seive until the end
of the year.

Edward Jussely, vice president of
the club, presided over the meeting,
when a talk entitled "Law and Pro-
gress" was given by Bill Karukas.

"I Come From a Land Where It Never
Rains," Says Freshman From Persia

By HARWELL PROFFITT

"I come from a land where it never
rains," says John Fisher, who has come
from Hamadan, Iran (Persia), to
Maryville college.

"Hamadan is exactly on the other
side of the world from Tennessee," he
said, "the distance being about 14.000
miles. The latitude is also the same,
and yet we never have weather like
this.

"All the houses art made of mud,
with walls about six feet thick. Since
Toofs are also made of mud, if it did
rain much you can see what would
happen to our houses.

"But, he said, "it does snow some-
times. Each year we are snowed under
for about two weeks. During this time
we can't get our mail and have little
communication with the outside world."

When asked about the people of
Persia, he said,

"I had seen only three girls faces
before I came to Maryville. The girls
all wear veils in Persia, and never

show their faces except to their hus-
bands."

Unlike most college students, John's
early education was received at home
where he was taught by his mother.
Later a teacher was sent from America
to teach the children in the mission
compound.

Asked why he chose this college for
his schooling, he replied that his father
and mother graduated here in the
classes of 1G and '17. He also men-
tioned that he never intends to go
home. John quickly added that his
parents have a furlough every seven
years and he can see them then.

"How do you like Maryville?" he was
asked.

"Fine," he answed, "especially the
food. In Persia our diet was mainly of
bread, tea, and cheese made of goat's
or camel's milk. Once in awhile we had
meat and other foods.

"But the food isn't the main reason
I like Maryville," he hastened to add.
"The main reason is because the peo-
ple of Maryville talk my language."

Theta Presents
Next Midwinter
On February 5

Cast Headed By Bennett,

Bell To Produce Prize

Play, "Craig's Wife"

Theta Epsilon's midwinter, the
Pulitzer prize play by George Kelly
entitled "Craig's Wife," will be pre-
sented February 5 with a cast chosen
from the most promising material of
Theta Epsilon and Alpha Sigma
societies and headed by Gordon Bennett
and Deane Bell.

In the play Craig and his. wife seem
to be enjoying a smooth domestic
relationship until there is a murder,
after which come most amazing revela-
tions. The entire play is built around
the classic saying of Miss Austin,
"People who live to themselves are
generally left to themselves." "Craigs
Wife" is modernistic, sophisticated, and
unusual and is the f irst midwinter of its
type ever to be presented here.

Miss Gertrude Meiselwitz of the
Home Economics department has high-
ly approved the set for the production.
All the costumes, especially the gowns,
are very elaborate and have been de-
signed from the movie production of
the same title. The staff headed by
Clara Balcom, stage manager, has made
an extensive search to procure furni-
ture to provide the correct atmosphere.

George Kelly, the author, Pulitzer
prize winner with this play, is especial-
ly noted for his mastery of common-
place things which is half the charm of
Theta's production. Mr. Kelly is also
the author of the well known play
"The Show-Off."

Although it was first announced that
the part of Mazie the maid would be
played by Pat Mann, it will be portray-
ed by Curtmarie Brown.

Dinner, Entertainment
For Feb. 3 Considered
By Social Committee

At the meeting of the social com-
mittee, held Wednesday evening at the
home of Miss Jessie Johnson, plans for
the formal dinner scheduled for the
evening of February 3 were reconsider-
ed.

The only addition to the formal din-
ner plans reported last week will be
an announcement concerning a long
program to follow the dinner, and an
informal entertainment to be held after-
wards.

Don Hallam, chairman of the social
committee, announced that two
changes had been made in the com-
mittee, one the election of Don Stevens,
treasurer, in the place of Wilson
Leathers, and the appointment of
William Swearingen to fill the vacancy

Authors Combine
To Produce Last
Midwinter Play

Athenian's midwinter, "Graustark",
now in rehearsal, combines one of the
nation's favorite authors and a talented
playwright, George Barr McCutcheon
and Grace Hayward. These two turned
out a play which has been a favorite
of amateurs and stock companies since
its long run on Broadway closed.

McCutcheon was born in 1866, in a
little Indiana town, the son of a popular
Democratic politician, who continually
carried elections in a Republican
stronghold. In 1890, McCutcheon sold
his first completed novel, "Graustark,"
for S500. He immediately gave up news-
paper work to devote his time to writ-
ing plays and novels. Almost imme-
diately, "Graustark" leaped to fame.
Going through a number of editions and
selling several hundred thousand
copies, the novel was easily one of the
most popular of the early part of the
century. So popular was it, that the
author wrote a sequel to the original,
"Beverly of Graustark."

From these two novels Grace Hay-
ward wrote the play which Athenian
will present on February 26. Originally
produced on Broadway under the
name "Love Behind the Throne," it
netted the producers over a quarter
of a million dollars before being re-
leased for amateur production. Of re-
cent years, another of McCutcheon's
novels, "Brewster's Millions," has had
an extended run on Broadway, streng-
thening his reputation as a writer of
intriguing plots.

Rehearsals began during the early
part of the week on the midwinter and
will continue throughout February,
with the final midwinter presentation
on February 26. Announcement will be
made later concerning date for the
opening of reserved seat sales.

Baker Memorial Art Gallery
Dedication Set For Wednesday

Ceremony and Initial Exhibition Begin At Chapel Period ;
Faculty, Seniors View Pictures

The formal opening of "The Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Memorial Art
Gallery" will take place next Wednesday morning when the ceremony and
initial exhibition wil be in connection with and immediately following the
regular chapel service.

Mr. D. B. Baker, now of Maryville but formerly of New York, has given to
the College approximately 230 paintings by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Gowdy Baker
and the paintings have been brought from New York where they have been
in storage since Mrs. Baker's death in 1927. At the chapel service next Wednes-
day, President Ralph W. Lloyd and Miss Katherine Davies, head of the Fine
Arts Department, will give brief descriptions of the artist, the paintings, and
the place they are to fill in Maryville's program of fine arts. It is expected
that Mr. Baker will be on the platform.

_X Limited Number To See Gallery

From the chapel the faculty, seniors,
and guests will proceed to the gallery
in Anderson hall where the pictures
will be on exhibition. There a brief
address will be given by Mr. Baker,
and a dedication ceremony conducted.
The number attending this part of the
service is limited because of the limited
space in the gallery. Full opportunity
will be given later to all other students
to visit the gallery and regular open
hours with someone in charge are to
be arranged and announced.

Classrooms Refinished
The two former central class rooms
on the second floor of Anderson hall
have been transformed into an
attractive art gallery; the walls have
been painted a soft mauve gray, and
the ceilings white. The floors have been
refinished. Four indirect lights have
been installed in each room, and win-
dow shades especially arranged to con-
trol outside light have been hung. A

Schlafer Promotes
Annual Y Banquet

Varied Program Featured
For Tuesday Dinner

A short, interesting program has been
arranged for the annual banquet of
the YMCA Tuesday at 6:00 in the
Masonic temple. Dick Schlafer, YMCA
president, will be the master of cere-
monies. Irma Souder will give a tap
dance, Lois Black a reading, Edward
Brubaker a violin solo, and Robert
Cusworth a vocal solo. Superintendent
R. O. Smith of the Maryville1 city
schools, will be the after dinner
speaker.

A tempting menu has been pro-
mised by the ladies of the Order of the
Eastern Star, who will serve at tjne
affair. The bill of fare reads as follows:
baked chicken with dressing, cran-
berry sauce, potatoes, peas, salad, hct
rolls, coffee, and a desert of peaches
with whipped cream and angel food
cake.

Although the price of the dinner will
be fifty cents for each person attending,
students will be charged only fifteen
cents. The Y. M. C. A. will make up
the difference. Those planning to at-
tend are requested to register on the
bulletin board in Carnegie hall and
to secure tickets before 7 p. m. today
from either Fred Young or Donald
Hallam.

YWCA Opens McManigal
Library To All Women

Interracial Commission

Meets, Discusses Peace

Approximately fifty representatives
from Knoxville college, Morristown
college, and Maryville attended a meet-
ing of the East Tennessee Interracial
commission in the Y. W. C. A. rooms,
January 17.

At the election of officers, which con-
stituted the main business of the meet-
ing, Hendrika Tol, '36, social worker
in the vicinity of Maryville, was elected
treasurer.

LeRoy Obert discussed peace pro-
grams, and Edward Brubaker contri-
buted a violin solo to the program,
which was under the supervision of
Helen Woodward.

The Y. W. C. A. library, consisting
of five hundred books, and supported
by the Florence McManigal fund, is
now ready for use.

The fund, established in memory of
a Maryville graduate of 1908, is sup-
ported by Dr. J. Oscar Boyd, her
brother-in-law. After a year's teach-
ing in Maryville's preparatory depart-
ment, Miss McManigal was p
to a college position, but during the
following year she became ill, anJ
died in the College hospital.

Her memorial fund is being used !
repair old books and to buy new ones.
Among seventeen new books recently
acquired are "Gone With the Wind,"
"Anthony Adverse," and "An American
Doctor's Odyssey."

Books may be taken at any time from
the reading rooms, through a self-
charging system.

Relates His Reaction
Present Foreign
Policies

To

The Peace forum held its first meet-
ing of the year last Friday evening in
the sociology classroom, with about 45
persons present. Professor Kenneth R.
Lagerstedt spoke on Germany, with
special emphasis on his own reaction
to the German situation after spend-
ing last summer there.

Professor Lagerstedt brought out the
fact that Germany, with 60 million
people living in territory only half
as large as Texas, feels the need of the
colonies she lost by the treaty of
Versailles. Before the World war she
was one of the leading nations of the
world and now she feels herself justi-
fied in spending a great deal on arama-
ments in order to keep up with other
major nations.

The masses of the German people
are peace-loving, but at the same turn
they worship Hitler as the one who
has given back to their country her
place in world affairs. They do not de
sire war any more than do the masses
of the American people, but they look
on the militarism under Hitler as the
t'orce which can keep Germany in her
rightful place.

Professor Lagerstedt's talk revealed
vividly to his audience the very real
need of Germany today, and the fact
that much of the unfavorable comment
heard is only propaganda.

Interest in the Peace forum is grow-
ing rapidly, and soon it will be found
neeessarj to change ,vo meeting place
to the phi! nophy daseroom in order
to accomodate those who attend.

LET'S ABOLISH
ABOLITIONISM

The day of abolitionists did not pass with the war.
Always present among it is the dissatisfied attitude toward
established institutions which cries, "Down with every-
thing! Nothing is good; let us have nothing!"

Like the sins of O-mission and COM-mission, tire-
somely and repeatedly condemned in public players,
DE-structive and CON-structive criticisms are pointed
out as the wrong and right of modern thinking. Trite
though the expression may be, the idea is something to be
kept in mind.

The ever-present discussion for and against the
Student council at times reaches the importance of a
campus movement. One or two points might be kept in
mind, by both supporters and accusers of the Council.

Maryville can not be said to have student govern-
ment, in the sense that the expression is used in many
other institutions. The powers of the body representative
of the students are limited, acknowledgedly, to regulation
of lesser student activities, and to recommendation in major
matters. The Council is definitely purposed to be an inter-
mediary between faculty and students. Since, then, the
Council is not all-powerful, its critics cry out for its
extermination.

A similar situation exists in one of the most active
of the smaller clubs. Requirements designed to limit mem-
bership to students having positive interest in the organi-
zation, not having been enforced, are about to be abolished
by over-enthusiastic office-holders who deside to enlarge
its roll.

The Abolition movement went out with crinoline and
celluloid collars. In its place has been accepted a new
spirit of reconstruction, which any up-to-date thinker must
embrace.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO JANUARY 23, 1937

HOW IMMATURE!

Any college editorial staff must be at a loss to find
something new and effective to record concerning the
destructive pranks of so-called college men and women.
Repeatedly they have hurled epithets, "childlike," "imma-
ture," at the fun-loving students who must give release to
energies or to ego through placing their marks on common
property.

If there were any condemnation through which these
people could be brought to a distinct realization and
appreciation of the contempt in which they are held, the
Echo would be inclined to reward its source. A good
old-fashioned remedy, out-moded but effective, and equally
as dignified, would be a session in the wood-shed with
Father and a whip. Any student body would welcome
emancipation from this pseudo-humorous spirit, by any
.neans.

The editorial pen cannot fully express our unlimited
Jisgust that such practices as that disturbing the entire
campus Monday night continually occur, to give evidence
of man's lack of judgment.

/|T he publishers of the leading magazines evidently firm-
*"^ ly believe in the proverbial value of the good start, for
January's periodicals fairly bristle with interesting names,
articles and features.

hristopher Morley devotea his entire "Bowling Green"
in the Saturday Review to a criticism of the deathless
poesy of that four-square figure of South Carolina's
literary tradition, J. Gordon Coogler. Such touching bits of
lyric beauty as

"There's a tide in the affairs of woman

Which, if taken at the eddy,

Would make her life steady,

And give her time to get ready."
written in all seriousness, made him the laughing-stock of
the readers of a generation ago, and the butt of the nation's
editorial pages.

jT iving Age, outstanding in its class for the irreproach-
■J* able good taste of its format, contains a delightful little
satire in the modern manner by lion Feuchtwanger, called
"The Dictator." In the same issue is "The Philemon's
Boy," a short story translated from a Parisian weekly, of
brutality and superstition on a Grand Banks fisherman.
7|T he irrepressible P. G. Wodehouse bursts forth in the
™ current Forum in "Back to Whiskers," an impassioned
lament on the degeneration of criticism, which can only
be attributed, he thinks, to the deplorable custom of shav-
ing every morning, with its resultant flush of well-being
so incompatible with the critical mood.
flf he complete details of the magnificent nineteen million
^ dollar collection of old masters offered to the nation by
Andrew Mellon is featured in the Art Digest, "the news
magazine of art," as newsy and alive in its field as Time
or the Literary Digest. More reserved and scholarly, the
American Magazine of Art carries an article by Gertrude
R. Benson on the rediscovery of de la Tour, with several
illustrations of his work. Although working in the 17th
century, de la Tour is more modern in spirit than many of
the so-called moderns, and his unusual and original use
of a "unifying light" is truly dram, .tic in effect.

his month Scribner's celebrates its fiftieth birthday
with a sumptuous anniversary number done in the
spirit of the old Scribner's from 1887 on. The articles, re-
printed from former issues, present a graphic illustration
of America through the last half century. The table of
contents of old contributors reads like a who's who in
American letters, while the work of Howard Pyle, Charles
Dana Gibson, Howard Chandler Christy, Maxfield Parrish,
Rockwell Kent, and many others furnishes a fascinating
chapter in the development of magazine illustration.

She Geographic, long since run short of worlds to con-
quer, is again forced to resort to printing features on
London, this time a little worse than usual. The two
articles this month give the old town about as much
glamour as South Gay street.

y far the best essay in any of the periodicals this
month is a regular "scoop" in the Atlantic called
"Newton on Blackstone." It is the text of an address de-
livered by A. Edward Newton on the occasion of his be-
ing awarded an LI. D. by the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Newton presented the University with a rare edition of
Blackstone's commentaries and an even rarer dissertation
on things judicial. "Seldom," to quote Atlantic's contribu-
tors' column, "has the pot had more fun in calling the
kettle black." His delightful subtlety, and flashing humor
are soon to be offered in book form by the University press.

Full This Week

It's humiliating enough to wake up
one morning unable to say anything
but "big stbklbg" in a hoarse whisper
. . . But when our roommate, thinking
we were trying to be funny, hoarsely
replied "blfg stbklbg," chucking us un-
der the skin, we became downright
discouraged It all happened be-

cause we hopefully opened our win-
dow during a lull in The Great Flood,

and influenza . . .

It was Tom Bryan, recently repre-
sented as a typical product of this red

They snoop to conquer . . There
are always a few men and women,
about as inevitable as measles and just
about as pleasant (ask Bill Napier),
who seek to compensate for their own
unhappiness by trying to make life
unpleasant for those forced to «ccept
them as schoolmates They feel

an insane sense of "duty" regarding
any inconsequent misdemeanors of
others . We won't repeat the popu-

lar name for this group, but we philo-
sophically suggest David Grayson's
statement, "Happiness, I have dis-

We're glad that someone has called
to Councilman Luminati's attention the
inconsistent fact that it is actually
possible to leave Carnegie via the fire

wooden buildings, but they stop at the
second floor on the way down . . .

headed for championships again . . .
With Black, Parker, Hernandez, Jim

Most Trouble

Are

Due to measels, flu, mumps, and in-
fection the hospital is filled to capacity
this week with even the parlor and
clinic room being pressed into service
as quarters for the patients.

Theron Etheredge is suffering from
the mumps and Charles Ramsey and
Raymond Clements are still quaran-
tined with the measels. Lucille Gilles-
pie, Frances Gamble, and William Mc-
Gill have flu, and Charles Davies is in
the hospital because of an infected leg.

Fern Unthank, who underwent an
emergency operation for appendicitis
last week in the town hospital, is re-
covering and is expected to return to
the school hospital either today or
Monday.

Muriel Mann, Alex Pearson, and.
Simpson Spencer who have had flu
were discharged during the past week.
Bill Napier was also dismissed after
a case of the measles.

Return of Texts Now

"This semester's books may be
turned in to the bookstore any
day between now and the end
of the semester," stated John
Lancaster, student assistant, last
night. Books for the second
semester will be issued as soon
as all first semester's books are
returned.

February second has been set
as the dead line for the returning
of all old books and the morning
of February third will be the
earliest time that new books may
be secured. Students must bring
their schedule cards when buy-
ing books.

SWING

In the "Loudspeaker", the radio column >
of the Sewannee Purple, we read that
the supposedly popular "swing" tunes
are not the tops in the Lucky Strike
hit parade. The meditative " Did I'm
Remember" ran for two months and ;
was supplanted by "When Did You
Leave Heaven?" Then "The Way You
Look Tonight" became the country's
favorite. Even the celebrated "Organ
Grinder's Swing" made only four- ',
teenth place on the program. Evidently
the public still likes them "sweet and
slow".

FOOTBALL

There are no seniors on the Lenoir
Rhyne football squad. The alternate

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Coach Honaker, pessimist that he is, is about to admit that he's got
something when it comes to a Highlander basketball team. Barring accidents
tonight, the Scots are off on another splurge of wins in the old hardwood sport.

And, after all, it's the points that win a basketball game. Which all
reminds us that Pivotman Lee Hannah has personally accounted for quite a
few digits during the past three or four years with the Maryville ba-sketeers.

Very seldom it was that Hannah's counters could be recorded with one
figure. From the teens to the twentys they have ranged with almost ceaseless
regularity. We bow to our all-Conference center, who, incidentally is slated, we
believe, to occupy that position again this season after the last wind-up.

The Highander swimmers and George Fischbach have stepped back into
the spotlight of affairs again this week. Working steadily since the Water
Carnival "last winter", the mermen of Fischbach have just demonstrated to
all interested what they can do with a little competition. And the triple-threat
of the Carnival, one Rusty Wicklund, was in there for a couple of firsts last
night. The effortless way be drifted in ahead of all comers promises plenty
of excitement before the swimming season closes its doors.

Swimmers Drown
Tusculum, 55-29

Fishbach's Mermen Open
Season With Victory

Coach George F. Fischbach's mermen
opened their 1937 swimming season
with a decisive 55-29 victory over Tus-
culum college at the Bartlett pool
Friday night.

"Rusty" Wicklund, ace of the Scotties,
led the individual scoring with two
rather easy victories in the 50 yr. and
100 yd. freestyle. In the 50 Id. dash
Wicklund clipped .7 of a second off
the old record to establish a new re-
cord, this time was 27:1.

The Maryville tank men swept all
the first places but the 200 yd. free-
style, in which Black of Tusculum de-
feated Brubaker. Lowe was disquali-
fied for crossing over into his opponents
lane and at the time of his disqualifi-
cation he was leading. Clemmer, a con-
verted backstroker, sprang a surprise
when he outdistanced both Sondit of
Tusculum and Hilditch in a fast finish.
Meeks, easily won the 100 yd. breast-
roke and Lowe eased home to win the
400 yd freestyle. The work of Rad-
ford, who placed second in the
breastroke, and Taylor and Stafford
in the relays was commendable1.

The results were as follows:

200 yd relay— 1st (M) Taylor, Lowe,
Craine, Staafford. 2nd (T) Whitely,
Feagle, Tipton, Law. Time 1. 59:2

100 yd breastroke — (M) Meeks (M)

Austin Peay 44-25

Basketball Champs Ring Up
Seventh Straight Win

Mayville's Smoky Mountain court
champs rang up their seventh straight
win of the season Thursday night with
a 44-25 triumph over Austin Peay.

The Scots were able to amass only a
17-14 lead m the first half, but came
back strong to pile up a comfortable
margin early in the final period. Both
teams were ragged throughout most of
the play. The passing was wild, and
few shots were connected for either
side.

Stanley Takes Scoring Honors

The stubborn defense of the Middle-
Tennesseans held the Scot scoring aces,
Hannah and McGill, to a total of ten
points, but in the meantime allowed
Caney Stanley, earning his first start-
ing assignment, to slip away for ten
points and high scoring honors. He
was followed by Lorentzen, chief-
marksman for Austin Peay, who regis-
tered nine points, including several of
the long-range variety.

Reserves played most of the last half
for Maryville, dividing scoring honors
evenly among themselves.

In the preliminary clash, the High-
lander second string defeated Powell
High, 45-20.

Mynatts Bow To
Honakermen In
Fast Tilt, 47-39

Lee Hannah Leads Scottie

Team To Victory Over

Knox Pro Five

Paced by the indomitable Lee Hannah,
all-Conference center and captain of
the Scotties quint, the Maryville bas-
keteers counted out Mynatts here
Tuesday night. The Knoxville funeral
home five, reputed to be one of the
best teams of the region, put up a
stubborn resistance before falling prey
to the Septs on the short end of a
47-39 count.

Maryville Leads 17-5

Maryville got off to a quick lead,
running the score up to 17-5 in the
first few minutes of play. During the
first quarter, and also in other spots
throughout the game the Scotties
clicked like a real championship team.
The Mynatts pulled the score up to 17
all but then the Highlanders pulled
away again and never again did the
Knoxville team really seriously threat.
The half ended 29-20 with the Hona-
kermen on top.

Second Half Slower

The second half was considerably
slower getting started but once it did,
the game offered all the fast and thrill-
ing playing of the first two periods. The
Mynatts did pull the score up to 35-33
but they seemed to have lost some of
their former pep. Only once during the
whole encounter was the visiting team
in the lead, when they scored the
first basket of the game for a two point
margin.

Hannah Outstanding

Outstanding for Maryville was
Hannah, scoring 19 of his team's 47
markers. McGill and Odell also seemed
to have a pretty good night, scoring 10
and 8 points, respectively. Odell's work
under the Mynatt's basket along with
Hannah's work all over the floor was
especially noteworthy. Stanley showed
up best of the four freshmen who got
in the game. Baily, the former Mary-
ville high school basketball coach,
played the best game for the Mynatts,
scoring 13 points.

The summaries:

Maryville-^17 Mynatts— 39

Scots Defeat King, 39-33;
Meet E-H Quintet Tonight

The Maryville matmen engage their
second foe tonight when they meet the
Chattanooga YMCA team there.

In facing the 'Noogans, Coach Throw-
er's men will be after their eighth
straight win in the last six years, hav-
ing emerged unscathed in seven pre-
vious encounters with Coach R. W.
Tapp's club.

Maryville should rate as favorites by
virtue of their 30-0 opening victory
over Knoxville "Y", who, incidentally,
lost an early season meet to Chatta-
nooga, 21-12.

The Scots, still in far from perfect
shape, will use about the same lineup
as started the season here last week,
with Ernest, Gillespie, Meares, Coulter,
Propst, Renfro, Proffitt and Jenkins
wrestling in that order. One or two
changes may be made however, before
Saturday. Fred Tulloch, freshman
heavyweight, will likely be kept out of
the lineup for another week with a
broken rib. Obie Jenkins, 168-pounder
who tamed Knoxville's heavyweight
last week, will continue to work in the
unlimited class.

The attack of the Chattanooga fea-
tures Sim Efand, Southern YMCA
champ in the 175-lb. division. Both he
and Proffitt, Maryville light-heavy,
have wins over Bryan, of Knoxville, to
their credit so far this season.

Maryville should win with little trou-
ble if their new men come throueh is
they did against the Knox club. The
middle weights will all be capably
handed by experienced wrestlers in
Meares, Coulter, Propst, and Renfro.

Sophs Beat Frosh, Juniors

Weldon Baird, head of the Y. M. C
A. committee of intramural sports, has
announced that a series of basketball
games has already been started among
the four classes, with the sophomores
defeating the freshmen and juniors in
the first week of play.

Unlike the basketball tournament of
last year, each team this season will
play one game a week until March 15
when the schedule will be completed.
Last year the tournament was of the
elimination type. Games will be ar-
ranged as much as possible as pre-
liminary to the college games; other-
wise, they will be played in the after-
noon.

The sophs downed the freshmen in
the initial game, 24-17 and in the second
game they defeated the juniors, 25-18.
Bob Goff, titular head of the quint
that has won the two games was quoted
as saying, that "of course it is under-

The Maryville college quintet meets
the Emory and Henry Wasps at Emory
Virginia tonight on the first road trip
of the Highlanders so far this season.
Last night the Scotties met and de-
feated the King college team coached
by the well-known Pedie Jackson,
mentor of the Wasps last year.
Emory Quintet Favorites

By virtue of their game with the
University of Tennessee early in Jan-
uary the Emory quint goes into the
game tonight the favorite but if the
Scotties have any thing to do with it
the game won't come out as the scribes
predict. On January 6 the U. T. Vols,
southeastern conference champions,
defeated the Wasps by a very few
points in the last quarter of play .

Coach L. S. Honaker of the Scotties
stated that he expected high things of
the team "but unless they show up
better than they did against Austin
Peay Thursday night we won't have
a show in."

Scots Lose Twice In '36

Last year the Emory and Henry
team breezed through the Scots in both
of the encounters, 53-27 and 50-29, and
so this year the Highlanders are out
for revenge. Since then, several of the
Emory players graduated while Mary-
ville has five lettermen back losing
only Henry and Hulette from the 1936
squad.

Next Thursday night the Highlanders
meets the Tennessee Wesleyan quint in
the Alumni gymnasium. The next day
they take their second road meeting
East Tennessee Teachers and Tusculum
on January 29 and 30, respectively.
Ten Players Make Trip

Ten of the Maryville players left
yesterday afternoon for the trip to
King and Emory. They included Lee
Hannah, captain, Howard McGill, Wel-
don Baird, Jack Overly, Junior Odell,
Don Parker, Myers, Stanley, Ether-
edge and Hernandez.

As Team Trims Tornado

In Fast Battle

Last night in Bristol the Maryville
college quint defeated the King college
team 39-33 in the fastest and hottest
game played so far this year on the
Tornado's court.

Although favored to win by a margin,
the Scotties had to work for every
point they scored. They lead almost
consistently throughout the entire
game, the score standing 23-16 in the
Highlanders favor at the half.
Hannah Outstanding

Lee Hannah, Maryville's captain, us-
ing that effective one hand shot, was
the high scorer, with 14 points, and
outstanding offensive player of the
game. "Short" Pettigrew of King team
also played a fine brand of ball, scoring
13 points. Odell, with his work under
the Tornado basket, was by far the
best defensive player on the floor.

With this victory the Scots started
their second road trip of the season
very successfully. Tonight at Emory,
Virginia, they meet the Emory and
Henry Wasps, in a game which should
be hard fought and possibly close.
King Passing Erratic

Although not up to their best play-
ing, the Highlanders were aided con-
siderably by the erratic passing of the
King cagesters.

Coach L. S. Honaker played all ten
of the men making the trip, while
Pedie Jackson, Tornado mentor, used
only six members of his team.

YMCA Team Weakened By
Sickness Before Match

Eleanor Pflanze, '36, well known on
the Maryville campus, received an ap-
pointment during the holidays to the
laboratories of the Henry Ford hospital,
Detroit, Michigan.

The appointment, an eighteen months
training for laboratory technicians in-
cluding a Master's degree in that occu-
pation, was secured through the efforts
of the late personnel director, Dr. John
M. Cummings.

Maryville's 1937 wrestling stock took
an upward leap Saturday as the Scots
administered a convincing 30-0 set-
back to their first foe, the Knoxville
YMCA team.

Weakened by sickness, the "Y" men
were unable to offer Coach Bob Throw-
er's grapplers the opposition expected
of them. They were hit especially hard
by the absence of Captain Askin, 135-
lb ace, Householder, 145 pounds, and
Christian, 118 pounds.

The Scots however, made it plain
that they could have taken the measure
of the YMCA team even at full
strength.

McGill, midget forward, was in the

secure valuable training.

Tom Tryan and Norma Beamer assist
in the county health office on several
days, during examinations at the

Bell, Bennett
Lead In Theta's
Midwinter Play

G. Kelly's "Craig's Wife"

Ready for Presentation

Friday Evening

Deane Bell and Gordon Bennett,
leads, supported by an able cast, will
present Theta Epsilon's midwinter, the
Pulitzer prize play, "Craig's Wife," by
George Kelly, Friday evening at 8:00
o'clock in Voorhees chapel.

Both of the leads, along with several
V other members of the cast, have had
valuable experience before. Miss Bell
was in Theta's play last year, "Lady
Windermere's Fan," and the College
players' play, "Peter Ibbetson."
Bennett Has Had Leads

Mr. Bennett acted one of the leads
in the "Purple Mask," this year's Col-
lege players' production, and was also
a lead in "Peter Ibbetson."

Gloria Miller has carried leads in
"Lady Windermere's Fan," and "The
Purple Mask."

Players Have Had Experience

Irene Browder played in "Peter
» Ibbetson" last year; and Bill Swearingin
was in this year's "The Purple Mask."
Several other members of Theta's cast
have also had experience in minor parts
of the various plays presented at the
college. v

"Craig's Wife" is centered around the
domestic relationships of Craig's family,
and is modernistic, sophisticated and
unusual. The settings are ultra-modern
and the costumes are elaborate, design-
ed from those in the movie recently
produced. No play of this type has ever
been presented in Maryville before.

The entire cast consists of Deane Bell
as Craig's wife; Gordon Bennett as
Walter Craig; Gloria Miller, Mrs.
Harold; Curtmarie Brown, Mazie, the
maid; •Simpson Spencer, Billy Birk-
mire; Bruce Walters, Eugene Freder-
icks; Irene Browder, Miss Austen; Mar-

Council Sponsors
Benefit Program
For Flood Relief

College Contributes $106

To Red Cross for Work

In Inundated Areas

Leading Soprano
Presents Concert

Lehmann Sings Wednesday
On Knoxville Series

Student council sponsored a benefit
performance in the College chapel last
Tuesday evening to raise funds for flood
sufferers along the Ohio. This was the
first time anything of this nature has
ever been attempted in the history of
the college.

The unreserved cooperation of stu-
dents and faculty made it an out-
standing success, as $106.85 was raised
by their beneficence.

The funds were turned over Thurs-
day to Mr. William Seaton, treasurer
of the local chapter of the Red Cross,
who will send the money immediately
tp help in the relief work at Louisville.

The program, with Red Kent as
master of ceremonies, featured the tap
dancing of Irma Souder, a ten point
fencing match between Bill Karukas
and Vernon Clark, the comedy team of
Downes and Kent, and group singing
led by Bob Cusworth, accompained by
Gerald Beaver.

Expressions of gratitude for the stu-
dents' part in the greater flood relief
program have been received by Presi-
dent Ralph W. Lloyd from the Mary-
ville chapter of the Red Cross.

"Elijah" Oratorio
To Be Presented

Colbert Announces Soloists,
Trials for Places

Lotte Lehmann, leading Metropolitan |
soprano, will be heard in concert at
8:15 on Wednesday evening at the
Central Methodist church in Knoxville,
in a concert which will be the third
in a series of four sponsored by the
Knoxville concert series.

The first of the concerts, held on
November 17, featured Eugenia Bux-
ton, young American pianist, and in the
second, on January 4, Iso Briselli,
violinist, was heard. The last of the
concerts, which will be held sometime
in the spring will be given by the
National Symphony orchestra.

It has been requested that all stu-
dents possessing season tickets to the
concert series, who at any time can-
not attend the concert, turn over their
tickets to Miss Kaherine Davies, head
of the department of Fine Arts, in
order that other students desiring to go
may avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity.

Ralph W. Colbert, voice instructor,
has announced that Mendelssohn's
oratorio, "Elijah," will be presented on
April 11. Robert Cusworth, Harriet
Barber, and Don McArthur will carry
tenor, contralto, and bass solos. Places
will be open for student singers, and
tryouts will be announced some time
soon. ,

This oratorio on words from the Old
Testament was Felix Mendelssohn's
second achievement of this type. He is
believed to have begun the composition
of it about 1845, and on August 26 of
that year it was performed for the
first time at Leipzig.

The composer then set to work re-
vising it, making several changes and
additions, including "Lift Thine Eyes,"
and the final chorus. Mendelssohn was
helpajd in the selection of words by
Julius Schubring.

The famous .oratorio was presented
first in its present revised form in
October, 1849, by the Sacred Harmonic
society in Exeter hall, at Hamburg.

Guest Reporter Recalls Vivid

Horrors Of Pittsburgh Flood

By GEORGE SWEARINGEN

Pittsburgh, standing on the fork of two rivers, was raising its proud head
from the paralyzing blow dealt it by the depression. She stood there proudly
that March day, her mighty furnaces belching forth tongues of flame, writing
with brilliant red colors on the night sky that prosperity was returning.

The two rivers, the Monongahela and Allegheny, converging at the
picturesque point to form the Ohio, had just discharged their annual winter
quota of ice, and relieved even the weather man of any flood danger.

Then it struck. The innocent rivers, X

fed by a six-inch snowfall back in the

mountains, were turned into roaring
torrents by a heavy rain. They came
upon the helpless city like the lava
upon Pompeii. To some, the realization
of the disaster did not come until
cottages, garages, and chicken coops
were swept by on the turbulent crest
of the water.

Pittsburghers realized too late the
wide path the water was taking. Street
cars were stalled, and frightened pass-

engers waded through knee-deep water
to safety. Thousands were trapped in
downtown office buildings. The motion
picture palaces, miracles of interior
decorative art, found water, muddy,
yellow, icy, creeping into imported
carpets and covering orchestra pits and
stage with a blanket of slime. Millions
of dollars of the finest models • the
dressmaking art could produce were
turned into dirty rags.

Obert Fails To Finish

LeRoy Obert, speech making
senior and friend of the immortal
Joe Purvis, has requested that the
last sentence of his speech at the
YMCA banouet be published by
the Echo. He was stopped by
Richard Schlafer just before he
began to finish. After ex-
plaining that the Palooka, Ala.
flood commission had decided
that the main trouble with rain
was that there was water in the
rain drops, he intended to include
the following sentence:

"The Palooka delegation to the
Alabama legislature, to solve for-
ever and eternally the Palooka
flood problem, passed a resolu-
tion that it was all right to have
floods, so long as the rivers didn't
rise."

Exeunt, Joe Washington Jeff-
erson Roosevelt Purvis.

Worms Suffer

Five newly elected members of Theta
Alpha Phi, National dramatic fraternity,

Three Students
Called To Guard
In Flood Area

As the flood waters continued to rise
Tuesday, twelve National guard trucks
with three Maryville students among
the fourteen National guardsmen aboard
left Maryville bound for the inundated
area. The students were Obie Jenkins,
Toll Coulter and Jim Renfro.

The guardsmen had orders to report
in Nashville, and were sent from that
point to Union city, Tennessee, for duty
along the Mississippi river.

Capt. R. O. Smith, the commanding
officer of the group, was to have made
an after-dinner speech at the YMCA
banquet Tuesday night, but was forced
to cancel the engagement because of
the order.

Workshop Elects
Three New Members

Black, Ooten, G i 1 m o r e
Selected Monday

Because of a tie in the election of
new members to Writers' workshop
Monday, it was voted to increase the
membership quota temporarily to
twenty-six persons. Lois Black, a junior,
and Mary Frances Ooten and John
Gilmore, seniors, were the students
elected to the honor literary association.

Two Maryville graduates, former
Workshop members, were guest readers
at the last meeting. Louis Krainock,
whose original play, "The Crippled
Pigeon," Alpha Sigma presented as its
midwinter two years ago, read a tragic
story of a blind violinist whose favorite
piece was Brahms' "Lullaby." Edwin
Best's composition was a gruesome war
story, "Gott mit Uns," in which he de-
picted the effect of the horrors of battle
on the sensitive mind of a young
divinity student. Both Krainock and
Best are now on the staff of the Ten-
nessee Valley authority in Knoxville.

At the next meeting of the Workshop,
February 8, two of the regular members
will read original compositions. Miss
Johnson will read a story which, for
lack of note paper on the train en route
from Birmingham, she composed on the
blank backs of menus. Daphne Harris,
secretary of the governing board of the
organization, will read a work entitled
"The Way of a Man."

Obert Is Speaker
At YMCA Banquet

Senior Fills in, Giving
Flood Control Data

Due to the absence of Superintendent
R. O. Smith, scheduled speaker at the
Y. M. C. A. banquet last Tuesday night,
LeRoy Obert, senior ranconteur, en-
tertained the hundred guests with the
experiences of his friend in flood con-
trol in Palooka, Alabama.

Richard Schlafer was toastmaster.
Those whom he introduced with ap-
propriate remarks were Robert Cus-
worth, who sang "In the Garden of My
Heart," and "Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes;'' Irma Souder, who tap-
danced; Lois Black, who read two
selections, "China Blue Eyes," and
"Blue Roses;" and Erwin Ritzman, who
played a cello solo.

The chicken dinner was prepared by
the ladies of the Order of Eastern Star
and was served in Masonic temple. Fred
Young and Don Hallam were in charge
of the program.

Former Child Prodigy Has

Appeared in Concert

On Radio

Josef Hofmann, who appears in Voor-
hees chapel on February -23 as the
second number on the 1936-37 Artist
series, is at present on his golden anni-
versary tour.

Mr. Hofmann has recently appeared
on a number of radio programs as con-
cert soloist, and with some of the great
symphonies of the nation.

Was Child Prodigy

In the days prior to the "gay nine-
ties," when Hofmann was growing up,
he was considered a child prodigy. To-
day his attraction has not diminished,

Due to necessary revising of the
itinerary of Josef Hofmann, because of
the flood conditions, the noted Ameri-
can composer- concertist wil present his
concert in Voorhees chapel on Febru-
ary 23, rather than on February 24 as
originally scheduled. This special notice
is given so that those desiring to let
friends from out of town know of the
change in date may have time to do so.

but has been gilded by years of ex-
perience on the concert stage and as
head of the Curtis institute of Phil-
adelphia. Born in Cracow, Poland, in
1876, Hofmann showed early signs of
following in his father's musical foot-
steps. His father, Casimir Hofmann, was
a professor in the Warsaw conservatory.
At the age of seven, young Josef
became the only private pupil of the
great composer, Rubenstein. A few
years later, just fifty years ago, the
young Polish pianist came to America
for his first tour. After fifty-two con-
certs, he was forced to quit his playing
and cancel his remaining concerts be-
cause of interference from the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil-
dren.

Continued Study

Hofmann, nevertheless, continued his
studies in America and abroad, study-
ing under Urban and Morkovsky in
addition to Rubenstein. He returned to
America and became a naturalized
citizen in 1926. The following year he
became the head of the, Curtis institute,

President's Son Has -
Operation, Daughter

Sustains Fracture

Last Friday evening, Mrs. Ralph W.
Lloyd left for Easton, Pennsylvania, to
be with her older son, Vernon, who
Underwent an operation for appendicitis
the same evening.

Although the president's son was in
Blairstown, New Jersey, where he is a
student at the Blair academy, he was
taken to the hospital in Easton for the
operation. Word has been received that
his condition is satisfactory.

About the same time the message
concerning Vernon was received, Ruth,
the older of the Lloyd daughters, fell
while roller skating on Court street,
sustaining a "green stick" fracture, a
bending of the bone just above the
wrist. The fracture is not serious, and
is mending rapidly.

At a meeting of the Nature Study
club on Thursday evening, Jack
Mahaney was elected president for the
second semester.

Other officers elected during the short
business session were: Mary E. Haines,

nesday morning for a winter hike to
Mount LeConte and Klingman's dome.

OUR PART

IN FLOOD RELIEF

More wholehearted cooperation than that given to
the Student council flood relief program could not be
desired. The boxes of clothing sent to the refugees through
the agency of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A., and the sub-
stantial sum raised by the benefit program Tuesday night
expressed in part our horror at the tragedy and our willing-
ness to give all aid we can.

It is in times of emergency that large groups of
people forget their factional differences and, with a
common purpose, unite to carry out effectively group
action. Great decisions have been made, and great things
accomplished at such times.

It is lamentable that the cooperative spirit cannot be
always a part of group undertakings; but it is commenda-
ble when we can, unite in giving even a small part of the
relief which people in the flooded areas must have.

The gratitude of the student body is due all of those
•who engineered the project, and who participated in the
benefit program.

ATHENIAN f**

TO THE FRONT

Editor's Note: In cooperation with the Student Council
movement to promote clubs and similar organizations, the
Echo in this issue initiates a series of short features con-
cerning these groups and their activities.

Athenian Literary society, oldest existing student
organization on the Hill, has invariably numbered a high
percentage of the outstanding men of the campus among
its members. Organized in 1868, it is the only society still
retaining the word "literary" in its name; and the annual
short story and play contest give this added meaning.

Familiar old Athenian hall, on the third floor of
Anderson, is the scene of weekly gatherings of college men
attracted by the friendly atmosphere and spirit of good
fellowship.

Athenian dramatics have always been of high order,
with a cup-winning play in 1934, and a highly successful
presentation of Booth Tarkington's "The Man from
Home" last year among recent triumphs.

Today's administration carries on in the spirit of
the founders of the society some 69 years ago, who saw
in Athenian a beneficial and constructive influence for the
HOI.

And see beyond the constant sky
The everlasting Now.

I long for springtime when green leaves

Shall cover up my doubt:
I have a need for camouflage

To keep intruders out.

Night

The night is deepest black velvet.
The wind is a soft black cat that
arches his back— friendly and
warm against your ankles.

And war was on — the knife and fork
Attacked quite fiercely a piece of pork.
The struggle was great
And sad was the fate
Of the poor little knife and fork.

"Flood Situation Is All Wet,"

Reports Grad From Louisville

By J. T. HUNT

"Well, it was all wet."

With this quippish statement Earl
(Squirrely) Crawford, '35, cheerfully
gave an epitomic description of the
flood situation in Louisville when he
was there. Squirrely, a student at
Louisville Presbyterian Theological
seminary, returned to Maryville Mon-
day for an enforced, but welcome, two
weeks' vacation caused by the rising
waters.

Squirrely relates that the first
realization of any great danger to
Louisville was on January 21. Many of
the students volunteered their services.
Squirrely, being unfortunate enough
to have a Hebrew examination the fol-
lowing morning, stayed home, but pro-
vided John McQueen with a pair of
trousers in order that he might go out.

On Friday the rain turned to sleet
and snow. All lights except those nec-
essary were ordered off. The age-old,
but no less effective, custom of study-
ing by candle light was revived.

Telephone calls were restricted, and
the boys couldn't call their girls.
Squirrely insisted, as an afterthought,
that he was not one of those affected
by such a limitation.

Squirrely praised the fine spirit that
characterized the people in the flood
areas. Especially did he commend the
work of the Red Cross and of the radio
station WHAS. Food, clothing, shelter,
boats, tools, coal and trucks were
quickly and willingly collected and
contributed.

The professors, having caught the de-
sire to help, and feeling that their action
was justifiable, phoned in the exami-
nation questions to the questionable de-
light of the apprehensive students.

As in the case of any emergency,
unscrupulous people attempted to ex-
ploit goods and to take undue advan-
tage of the needs of others. Some re-
fused to rescue people unless they had
money to pay their rescuers. Some
merchants asked exorbitant prices for
necessary equipment; one sold boots
at sixteen dollars a pair.

"Such cases as these," Squirrely
pointed out, "are exceptions. On the
whole, there was a wonderful spirit of
unstinted help and willing cooperation."

Howard Kipp, a Maryville graduate
and student at the Presbyterian semi-
nary, reached here Thursday. At the
time he left Louisville, rowboats and
even power boats were becoming al-
most useless in the strong current.
Howard, who helped man one of the
boats, found that most people were
ready to move, and that they remained
calm and composed even in the most
trying situations. A few, however, be-
came hysterical, refusing to leave their
i homes, while others often rushed back
to snatch some trifles which had signi-
ficant meaning for them.

John McQueen and Sumter Logan,
both former Maryville students, are
still in Louisville. John has the night
watch at the Seminary, and Sumter has
charge of one of the relief boats.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO JANUARY 30, 1937

LOST— Three wrasslers. Somewhere "between the
Maryville armory and the Mississippi River last
Wednesday. Foul play a distinct possibility— the
grapplers were missed late Wednesday after-
noon, after having been last seen in the company
of a division of the Tennessee National Guard.

Anyone with information leading to the re-
covery of this strayed or stolen property, or to
the arrest of the perpetrators of the crime, will
please call the Athletic Department, Maryville
college. A liberal reward is to be had if the
property is undamaged.

Answering to the names Toll Coulter, Jim
Renfro, and Obie Jenkins, they range in weight
from 145 to 165 pounds. The last named may be
recognized by a slightly cauliflowered ear. The
others, though veteran grunters, are compara-
tively unmarked.

All three were to have kept dates with people
from Chattanooga Saturday.

WANTED— Three able bodied young men. Apply for work between
the hours of seven and ten Saturday evening.

Experience desirable but by no means indispensible.

Short working hours guaranteed.

If interested see or call Bob Thrower at Maryville college

wrestling emporium.

The Maryville college basketeers
meet the Tusculum Pioneers at Green-
ville tonight in another Smoky Moun-
tain conference battle. Last night the
Scotties met and defeated the East Ten-
nessee Teachers at Johnson City for the
second time this season, Maryville win-
ning their first conference victory over
the same team 47-24.

Maryville Quint Favorites

In the game tonight the Highlanders
rate as heavy favorites over the
Pioneers. Maryville has lost no confer-
ence games so far this year, whereas
Tusculum dropped a game to Carson-
Newman recently by about ten points.

The Scotty team was confident, as
they left Maryville yesterday for their
third road trip of the season, that both
of the conference games on this trip
would only add two more victories to
their string of victories.

Tusculum Loses in '36

Last year the Maryville college team
submerged the Pioneers in both of the
conference tilts, 50-29 and 57-27, and it
is expected that they will have little
trouble in winning tonight.

Both of the quintets lost about the
same amount of material by gradua-
tion from last years team, Maryville
losing only Henry and Hulette from
he 1936 championship team.

All of the next three games will be
conference tilts and will be played in
Maryville. The Scotties will meet
Milligan, King, and Carson-Newman
on February 4, 6 and 8 respectively in
the Alumni gym. As the record now
stands the Highlanders will rate as
slight favorites over all three of their
conference opponents.

Ten Players Make Trip

Coach L. S. Honaker of the Scots
took ten of his ablest players on the
trip to East Tennessee Teachers and
Tusculum. They included Lee Hannah,
captain, Howard McGill, Weldon Baird,
Jack Overly, Junior Odell, Don Parker,
Jim Etheredge, Caney Stanley, Joe
.Myers, and Gus Hernandez.

Chattanooga Meets
Maryville Tonight

Wrestlers Have Return
Match With "Y"

The Maryville college wrestling team,
perennial state champs will be after
their third straight win of the season
and their second over the Chattanooga
YMCA when they meet the 'Noogans
here in a return match tonight.

With their lineup riddled, due to the

departure of three men for flood areas

with the National Guard, the Scots

are faced with the possiblity of defeat

(Continued on page four)

Less than a month hence, the 1936
edition of the Highlander baseball
aggregation will start practice. Eight
letter men will return to form the
crux of this year's squad.

Hurling Trio Returns
Ralph Hand, Ralph Ashby, and Bill
Collins team up to form the Scot
hurling trio. These three veteran
pitchers re all expected to be out at
the first call for warm-ups.

Behind the plate, Al Burris, 1936 Scot
receiver, will call for curves and fast
ones this coming season. Burns' playing
is well known to all Scot diamond fans.
In the infield, Coach Honaker calls
back a quartet of seasoned players.
Evers, Odell, Blazer, and Cross all re-
turn to cover the sacks and shortstop.
"Toots" Blazer's aggrevating (to the
opposition) and cheering (to the Scots)
chatter will be rolling over the diamond
this spring. "Junior" Odell, football,
basketball headlines, will be back in
the spotlight with his stab catches and
smaching hits. Glenn Evers, Scot heavy
hitter, equally at ease behind the plate
and on first sack, will be out to bat
the old apple out of sight, and Don
Cross, last year's lead-off man and
steady, reliable inf ielder will be showing
them up again.

New Candidates
In regard to new candidates as well
as the '37 outfield, Coach Honaker has
no comment. It is believed, however,
that Kindred, Bill Swearingen, and
Wilburn will return to the squad.

D6n Parker, junior football and
basketball newcomer, will seek laurels
in his third sport when the season
opens. Hernandez, his Mars Hill run-
ning mate, and one of Coach Honaker's
best basketball reserves, will be out
also.

Team To Elect Captain
Something new in the diamond sport
happens this year with the election of
a baseball captain. This position has
not previously been filled. Nothing is
known, however, of candidates for this
post.

The 1937 schedule is yet for from
complete. Coach Honaker, however, has
received offers from a number of the
Big Ten teams to play here late in
March. An effort is being made to ac-
comodate these college and university
men on their southern trips. The
Indiana U Hoosiers will probably re-
turn to fill a spot on the Scottie sche-
dule this year.

Scots Seek Championshp
No word has cbme of Conference
competition this year. Last season, the
Scots lost the SMC championship after
holding it for quite a few years, off
and on. If the spirit that is circulating
among the letter men becomes con-
tageous, it seems probable that the SMC
cup will come to rest in the Library
before the bats and gloves are put
away this coming season.

Lanky Pivoter
Piles Up Total
Of 964 Points

By RALPH DOWELL
(Echo Sports Statistician)

The Best To
You All

From

Friends of M. C.
Basketball Squad

In speaking of basket-ball players,
we bring to your attention Lee Hannah,
Maryville's captain and all-conference
center for the past two years.

Hannah, a local boy, after playing
for four years with Everett High School
and averaging fifteen points a game,
entered Maryville college in September,
1933. Soon after basketball season start-
ed papers began to read, "Hannah, ace
pivot man, leads Scotties to victory."
With that effective one hand pivot shot
which is so well known, Hannah, at the
close of his junior year had to his
credit 964 points for 61 games, making
his average over 15 points per game.

He has been one of the reasons for
Maryville's fine record in the Smoky
Mountain Conference, helping to win
the Championship in '35 and '36, and is
maintaining his fine record of the past
in the aim to help the Scottie hard-
wooders hold this Championship for
the present season.

Not only is this lanky pivot man a
good shot, but his ability to handle
himself and the ball has not been sur-
passed by any other college player in
this vicinity. This boy must be consid-
ered an outstanding player and an im-
portant man, since the mentors of op-
posing teams assign two men to watch
over him, but he then feeds the ball to
his running mate, McGill, who has an
uncanny eye for the hoop.

From this record we have no ,doubt
that when the season is over, Hannah
will again occupy his berth on the all-
Conference team by a great majority
of votes.

Freshmen Beat Juniors

24-20, For First Win

The freshmen scored their first win
in the Y. M. C. A. intra-mural sports
schedule as they eeked out a 24-20
victory over the juniors.

The juniors put on a last minute
spurt that almost spelled defeat for
the frosh, only the fact that the fresh-
men had pilled up a substantial first
quarter lead saved them. Headrick was
outstanding for the freshmen while Roy
Talmadge and "Ripper" Collins lead
the juniors.

Bob Clemmer, backstroker and mid-
dle distance man, was unanimously
elected captain of the Maryville college
swimming team for the 193,7 season
last Thursday afternoon at the regular
practice session.

Bob is a junior from Morristown,
Pennsylvania, and was a letterman
from last years squad. He stated that
he had high hopes and was confident
that the Scotties would have a very
successful season this year. Last year
he introduced to the swimming team
a new backstrokers' underwater turn
which all of the backstrokers now use.

Hector Hottair, whose challenge to
the American college is, "Teach me
for four years, and when I leave I'll
still have some sense," tells in an ex-
clusive interview why he prefers the
discussion-type exam rather than the
direct question type.

"All you need for any essay exam,"
says Hector, "is a bare inkling of your
subject, which can be pjeked up in
your spare time from cross-word
puzzles and bill-board ads. You simply
talk all around the points about which
the prof evidently expects you to tell
him, but of which you know even less
than he does. Make liberal use of such
expressions as 'it is believed,' 'possibly,'
'at times,' 'perhaps,' 'some authorities

say.'

"Another method is to touch mom-
entarily upon the assigned topic; then
inject 'on the other hand,' and switch
hastily to something which you have
heard of before. If the professor knows
his cricket, he will take the attitude
that your exuberant enthusiasm for his
course has caused you to misinterpret
his question."

Chattanooga "Y"

Although forced to the limit by a
stubborn Chattanooga- YMCA outfit
Maryville's grapplers gained a 14-12
victory in their meet at the Lookout
City last Saturday night.

With a lead of 14-6 as the meet en-
tered the last two events, Maryville
almost saw the decision slip from their
grasp when the "Y" came back to cap-
ture the 175 pound and heavyweight
matches. The last six points were added
to the Chattanooga tally by Captain
Sim Efland, who out-timed Obie Jen-
kins, and by Julius Parker, who got the
referee's nod in an overtime struggle
with James Proffitt.

Reporter Describes Flood

(Continued from page one)
Up and down on both sides of the
banks thousands were driven by the
water into rainy, grey weather. Others,
staying until it was too late, sent out
frantic appeals to already over- bur-
dened rescue squads. Profiteering boat-
men, human leeches in the emergency,
refused to rescue families except for
exorbitant prices. Others volunteer.-d
their services and their lives for the
relief of marooned people. Some perish-
ed in the act of stepping into boats
which would have carried them to
safety.

The radio was the only connection
with the outside world. Newspapers
were silent, with human interest stories
on every flooded block. Their presses
were stilled by the same water which
covered the trunk lines of all rail-
roads and blocked all highways lead-
ing into the city.

Incidents slip through the mind as
memories of that flood are revived.
National Guardsmen wej:e given orders
to shoot on sight all persons found rob-
bing or looting. A life was brought in-
to being while churning waters rocked
the boat bearing the mother to safety.
Hospitals carried on emergency oper-
ations under candle light. Grim humor
was added when a rescue squad, taking
from the water what they thought was
a body of a flood victim, found only a
wooden dummy from a show window.
Out of it all, flying high over the
yellow sea of suffering, disease, and
fright, flew the banner of the American
Red Cross. As receding water left last-
ing evidence of the flood's destructive
path that banner was irjdelibly im-
pressed in the minds and hearts of
those from whom the water had wrest-
ed homes, furniture, automobiles, and
even a means of livelihood.

Exchange Notes

By CURTMAR1E BROWN

WESLEYAN

(Continued from page three)
hands, the Highlanders showed super-
iority throughout the game, a spectacu-
lar affair which saw 26 fouls called.
Maryville's ability to convert Wesleyan
fouls into points, coupled with a very
effective Scot defense, gave the Hon-
akermen the edge. They secured an
early lead, holding a 21 to 11 margin at
halftime, and were never headed.

Hannah and McGill, in top form
again contributed 26 points, enough to
equal Wesleyan's total output. McGill
led with 14. The Athens team showed
an effective long range marksman in
Jack Blalock, whose first half ringers
kept them in the contest. He scored
eight points, behind Huskey, who made
nine.

AH! LOVE

The Teacola of Alabama State Teacher's
college prints an advice to the lovelorn
column. They call it "Fannie Faint-
heart." The column is evidently written
in all sincerity, and does a flourishing
business. Here is a ck-3sic bit of advice
from Fannie to a jealous young man.
"It is my suggestion that you read
Shakespeare, and see where jealousy
got Othello." That young man must be
in a pretty bad way by now if he be^
lieves everything he reads.
SLANG

The Gamecock, published by South
Carolina university, has discovered
some examples of old-time college
slang.
Flash— a student unprepared for class.
Bugs — Professors

Trained— called before the faculty
Wooled— condition of a student who
cannot answer a question during reci-
tation.

Splurged — what a brilliant student
did when he made a perfect record.
WHY BOYS!

This is an extract from a letter to Santa
Claus, evidently written by a proctor,
in the All State of Austin Peay Normal
school.
"Dear Santa Claus:

...Please bring me a much quieter
bunch of boys for the dormitory. This
bunch I have practice dancing in the
hall every night, and I can't sleep."
EXAMS

The following exam suggestions are
from Campus Comments, the Mary
Baldwin college paper.

1. Don't tell your friends you've flunk-
ed, you're sure, and then come through
with a B plus.

2. Don't run around getting ready to
study until 10:30, and then stay up un-
til 2:30 getting it done.

3. Don't go to a movie to "relax" and
then complain about not having time
enough to study.

4. When you feel desperate about an
exam, sit down and play solitaire for
15 minutes and then study.
Well, we always said there was noth-
ing like a rousing game of solitaire
when you need a little stimulation.

The 214 new books recently purchas-
ed by the Lamar Memorial library
have been received and are now being
catalogued. Forty three of these are to
be put on the fiction shelves, thirty one
will be added to the Bible section of
the library, and the remaining books
will be divided among the sciences,
English, fine arts, and psychology sec-
tions.

Best sellers of 1936 are included in
the new books. Alexis Carrel's "Man
the Unknown," which evoked so much
comment in literary circles last year;
"Green Laurels," a book containing
biographies of famous naturalists,
written by Donald C. Peattie, author of
the biography of John James Audobon;
"White Banners," the magazine serial
story which is ex-pastor Lloyd C. Doug-
las latest contribution to the thought
provoking sphere of the fiction world;
"Drums along the Mohawk," Walter D.
Edmond's story of upper New York
state in the days of the Iroquois;
"Around the World in Eleven Years,"
the adventures of youngsters Patience,
Richard, and John Abbe on the conti-
nent and in America as told by them-
selves; and "Edufation before Verdun,"
the much-discussed book by Stefan
Zweig, author of "Mary, Queen of
Scots," are among the favorites.

A favorite of six years ago, young
Larimore Foster's "Larry; Thoughts of
Youth," is included in the new consign-
ment. Foster was a young man living in
the open spaces of the west, who,
through contact with nature, came close
to the vital issues of life. After
his premature death, his thoughts
written as they occurred to him were
published, and the book was very popu-
lar among young people.

Famous English names are well re-
presented among the new books. A. A.
Milne has contributed "Peace with
Honor;*' John Masefield is represented
with "Eggs and Baker;" J. B. Priest-
ley's "They Walk in the City" is his
contribution to the shelves; and poetry
has found its way in with, among
others, the late A. E. Housman's "More
Poems."

In the German department the most
unusual book is Adolf Hitler's "Mein
Kampf" ("My Struggle), written in
German.

Outlining the development and pre-
sent status of Mussolini's corporative
state in Italy, Simpson Spencer, speak-
er last night at the Peace forum, dis-
cussed the Ethiopian invasion in the
light of its economic criticism.

Pointing out that Italian censorship
of anti-Fascist criticism is not unlike
Hearstian "red-scare" propaganda with
its attendant riots at demonstrations in
this country, the speaker paralleled
Mussolini's "authoritarian democracy"
with the present administrative policies
in the United States.

Following Spencer's speech the group
took part in an open forum discussion
of the problems presented. Howard
Davis, chairman of the committee on
outside speakers, presented a detailed
report of his work. Ray Nelson, chair-
man of the group, discussed the sign-
ing of peace pledges.

ECHOES OP THE PAST

January 30, 1917

The Rev. Joseph M. Broady, a for-
mer student of Maryville, now the
pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church in Birmingham, Alabama, will
arrive in Maryville on Monday to lead
the annual February meetings.

* * •

The girls' varsity basketball team
leaves Thursday for a trip to Kentucky.

* • *

The "Winter Opening' of the swim-
ming pool took place rather inauspic-
iously last Wednesday afternoon. After
two long months of inactivity, the
natatorium resounded with the usual
sounds of splash and yells. The annual
water carnival will !>e pulled off again
this spring. Aspirants for class teams
are already beginning to "crawl" and
"trudge" the length of the pool, and
some good material will show up in

the prelims.

• • •

Friday evening at 8:00 o>!oek the
Bainonians will give the fourth and
last midwinter of the year. It will be a
portrayal of "Merrie England," as pre-
sented by Chaucer in the Canterbury
Tales.

February 4, 1927

The fifty-first annual February
meetings began on Tuesday, at the
chapel service. Dr. Marston, who is
preaching his fourth series, delivered
a forceful and appropriate message to
the students, faculty and town people.
* * *

Alpha Sigma will present its mid-
winter play on February 21. It is to be
"The Whole Town's Talking," a farce
by John Emerson.

On February 14, Mr. Edgar C Raine
will present travel talks on America's
"Land of the Midnight Sun." The talks
are illustrated with a great many
colored views, the best set in existence,
of our romantic land of the North.
* • •

On Thursday and Friday of last week
the annual dr|ve was launched for
funds for Fred Hope, Maryville's own
missionary to Africa. The cause was
presented by Dr. Johnson, senior mis-
sionary from Africa, who is on a fur-
lough. The students, faculty and friends
responded generously, and up until
Wednesday of this week a total of
$1340.95 had been subscribed.

by a state team for the first time in
six years.

Scots Out of Meet

Toll Coulter, Jim Renfro, and Obie
Jenkins, Scot representatives in the
145, 155, and 175-lb. classes left Wed-
nesday for Nashville, where they were
to join a company of the Tennessee
National Guard, and proceed to the
territory which has been suffering from
floods, where they will assist in rescue
work.

Their places on the team will pro-
bably be filled by Elbert Montgomery,
Reese Scull, and S. K. Taylor. Taylor is
slated to oppose Julius Parker of
Chattanooga in the heavy class, with
Jim Proffitt working in the 175-lb.
division.

Wrestlers Rate Even Chance

Coach Bob Thrower's grunters, who
were hard pressed to beat the "Y" men
last week, 14-12, rate no beX.er than an
even chance for victory. Their main
hope lies in the possibility of secur-
ing falls in the 118, 135, and 165-lb.
classes, where they are represented by
Don Stevens, Rom Meares, and Guy
Propst. Propst will likely be shifted
from his usual 155 pound spot to the
next higher division, replacing Renfro.
His 1551b. position will be filled by
Reese Scull.

Regardless of how these men come
through Saturday, Maryville's hopes
for further dominance of state wrestling
will be put to a most severe test by
Coach R. W. Tapp's Chattanoogans.

Lives in Holiday

Hike Tragedy

What promised to be at the start a
pleasant trip, the Nature club hike to
Clingman's dome, ended in tragedy
last Wednesday when the truck bear-
ing the hikers overturned at Fightin'
Creek gap, bringing death to two of the
party and injuries to a number of
others.

Jean Brand, sophomore from Man-
nington, W. Va., received a skull frac-
ture which resulted in her death early
Wednesday evening. She died at the
hospital in Gatlinburg, having been un-
conscious from the time of the accident
to her death.

Dr. Giffen Dies

Dr. J. Kelly Giffen, associate pro-
fessor of Bible at the College, received
a fractured shoulder, and together
with Bill Baird, who seemed to be in-
jured rather seriously at the time, was
taken from Gatlinburg to the Fort
Sanders hospital in Knoxville, by Dr.
H. E. Orr. Examination showed that
Bill Baird was not seriously injured,
however, only badly cut.

Dr. Giffen's death came on Thursday
about 9:30 a. m. Fortunately, Dr. W. P.
Stevenson, College pastor, arrived in
Knoxville a few minutes before Dr.
Giffen's death and was there at the
time with Mrs. Giffen. Dr. Giffen's
death came as the result of a blood clot,
and was entirely unavoidable and un-
expected.

CCC Gives Aid

After the accident, which occured at
about eleven a. m. Wednesday, one
member of the party set out to summon
aid and met a CCC truck. The camp to
which the truck belonged supplied an
ambulance and two trucks to convey
the injured back to the College. In the

Due to the fact that there are

measure to prevent a possible
epidemic.

tion Saturday night in Alpha Sigma
hall.

Lavender, a well known figure on
the Maryvilie campus, is a star per-
former on the track team, a member of
the Athletic Board of Control and

Carnegie Plans Open House

Prof. Lagerstedt Shows

News item: Plans announced for open house in men's dormitory.

Welcome, friends, welcome! Welcome to our cozy home. Jeeves will take

your things He isn't? Well, well, Jeeves must be over at the Y store

shooting pool These? Oh, they are the felt slippers which everyone

slips on over his shoes as he enters Carnegie Yes, to preserve the

lustrous finish on the floors, and to prevent the noise of footfalls from desecrating
the hallowed sanctity and quiet of cloistered Carnegie.

On the left — as we tread reverently upon the very same splinters which
jabbed the feet of so many former Carnegie-dwellers, who have since re-
formed and made good in life— we look upon the lair of the proctor, who, con-
trary to popular belief among freshmen, X __

has never eaten a raw steak or an iron

No, we won't go down to the base-
ment; it isn't quite safe. You see, the
dark, clammy environment down there
has had a Stygian effect upon the in-
mates, and the weird chants and muff-
led drum-beats which issue from the
nether regions of the dormitory at
twelve each night indicate that the stu-
dents down/below have become allied
with Mephistopheles. You'll notice
them on cloudy days in the trees on the
campus, with their pink eyes squinting
at the light, and their unkempt beards
blowing mysteriously about their pale,
gaunt faces. A class in sociobiopsyche
has been trying for weeks to capture a

Negative Case Against

Spring Hill College

Maryvilie will have an opportunity
to see its first representatives in
forensic action Monday night when
Leland Waggoner and Edward Bru-
baker, debating the negative case, will
meet an affirmative team from Spring
Hill college of Alabama.

The debate will be a return of a
meeting between the two schools last
spring, when Paul Hartman and Archi-
bald Pieper, on their way to the
national tournament of Pi Kappa Delta
met the Spring Hill debaters. The en-
gagement will be held in the Philoso-
phy classroom, beginning at 7:30. The
debate will be judged by Dr. John B.
Emperor of U. T.

Maryvilie has been invited to partici-
pate today in a practice tournament
at Virginia Intermont. Professor
Queener planned to take three women's
teams to meet representatives from
Virginia Intermont, King, Emory and
Henry and other colleges. No decisions
willl be awarded in this tournament.
Those who were preparing to go were
Helen Maguire, Mary Frances Ooten,

In Chattanooga

University Echo Is Host
To Tenn. Papers

The Tennessee College Press associ-
ation, of which the Echo is a member,
will hold its third annual meeting at
Chattanooga, February 11, 12, and 13.
The "University Echo," publication of
the University of Chattanooga, will be
the host paper. ,

As part of the program, Gerhard
Becker, of "Collegiate Digest," Madison,
Wisconsin, will be present to discuss
new ideas in college newspaper ad-
vertising. Charles Soroka of National
Advertising service, New York, will talk
on national advertising problems for the
college newspapers.

The papers of the colleges will be
ranked by judges not connected close-
ly with any college paper in the state.

Maryvilie college became an official
member of the T. C. P. A. this year,
although it has participated in the
activities of the association since its
organization a few years ago by the
present director, Thomas L. Passons, of
Tennessee Polytechnic institute. The
College shall not be represented this
year, however.

The T C P A, federating thirty-two
college papers of Tennessee, hopes to
raise the standard of journalism, to
promote good will between colleges and
universities of the state, and to provide
a medium for the exchange of ideas. An
annual convention is held to consider
collegiate journalistic problems.

Play Leads in Theta

Alpha Phi Cup Bid

— i

Theta Epsilon society presents at the
Voorhees chapel tonight at 8:30 "Craig's
Wife," as their bid for the Theta Alpha
Phi cup. Gordon Bennett, who will be
remembered for his lead in "The
Purple Mask," and Deane Bell, who
has had parts in many former plays,
will have the leads.

"Craig's Wife" is a play by George
Kelly which, in 1926, won the Pulitzer
prize for the best original play present-
ed in New York that represented the
educational value and power of the
American stage. The play is in three
acts, all of which transpire between
5:30 in the evening and 9 o'clock the
following morning, in the living room
of the home of Mrs. Walter Craig.

Mrs. Craig, acted by Miss Bell, is a
woman who preferred a magnificently
run house to the love and respect of
her husband. Mr. Bennett plays the
part of the husband who seems to b?
blind to her grasping manner. Irene
Browder plays Miss Austin, the aunt of
Craig who shows him the way in whicb
his wife has discouraged his friends,
and is ruining his life. Gloria Miller

Y.W.C. A. Library
Is Open To Women

Six Hundred Books Donated
In McManigal Honor

The Y. W. C. A. library of six hund-
red books, established in memory of
Florence K. McManigal, Maryvilie gra-
duate and instructor, is now available
to all women.

Miss McManigal graduated from
Maryvilie in 1908, and returned here as
teacher the next year. Her death, dur-
ing her second year of teaching, re-
sulted from typhoid fever, and was the
first death to occur in our college
hospital.

Dr. and Mrs. J. Oscar Boyd, brother-
in-law and sister of Miss McManigal,
have contributed to the library fund
at various times since 1912. These gifts,
together with donations of books from
various sources, have made possible the
memorial library.

The library's purpose is to afford
college women a convenient source of
books, many of which are not found in
the college library. A recently institu-
ted self-service system enables readers
to borrow books from the reading
rooms at any time.

Users are requested to leave the
signed and dated card for each book
borrowed. Books may be kept two
weeks; and a fine of one cent a day is
imposed for those overdue.

Freshman Fills Vacancy
In College Book Store

The second vacancy which occured
in the personnel of the Book store dur-
ing the past month has been filled by
Lois V. Whitmore, freshman from
Washington. Miss Whitmore replaces
Frances E. Gamble.

Miss Gamble, a junior in her third
year of service in the book store, was
forced to leave school because of ill
health. She returned to her home at
Wetumpka, Alabama, at the end of
the first semester. • «

Mr. D. W. Proffitt, of Proffitt's store,
gave an address before Dr. C. A. Camp-
bell's business administration class
Tuesday.

One of the important phases taken up
in the discussion, and one to which the
class has devoted considerable time
during the year, was purchasing. Many
of the smaller stores over the country
have joined in the employing of New
York buyers, and are able to purchase
their goods at as low a rate as the
largest department and chain stores in
the country.

"The business concern of today," said
Mr. Proffitt, "will employ the college
graduate in preference to an unedu-
cated man."

The class usually makes a field trip
to Knoxville during the spring to study
at first hand the organizations and prin-
ciples used by successful firms.

Assoc. Prof. J. H. Kiger

Is 111 With Bronchitis

J. H. Kiger, associate professor of
history, is slowly recovering from bron-
chitis. Two weeks ago he was forced to
remain at home with the flu, and this
later developed into bronchitis. His
physician says that the professor will
not be able to meat his classes for at
least two more weeks.

Maryvilie opened its forensic season
on Monday night winning two debates
and losing one. All debates were held
on foreign soil, two of them as a part
of the triangle meet between Emory
and Henry, Lincoln Memorial univer-
sity and Maryvilie. The other debate
was a renewal of the long forensic re-
lations between Maryvilie and Virginia
Intermont college for women.

The Maryvilie affirmative team of
Mark Andrews and Richard Schlafer
met the Lincoln Memorial negative
team at Emory and Henry college, in
Emory, Virginia, where the decision
was rendered in favor of the Maryvilie
team. The following evening, the Mary-
vilie affirmative team met King college
in a non-decision debate at Bristol,
Tennessee.

Maryville's men's negative team met
the Emory and Henry affirmative on
the Lincoln Memorial stage, at Harro-
gate, Tennessee. The Maryvilie repre-
sentatives, Donald Hallam and Walter
West, were accorded a split-decision
over the Virginia team.

In the third debate of the triangle
meet, Emory and Henry's negative
team defeated Lincoln Memorial's affir-
mative here at Maryvilie.

Monday night, Maryville's women's
negative team met an accomplished
affirmative team representing Virginia
Intermont college at Bristol. The Mary-
vilie representatives, Curtmarie Brown
and Etta Culbertson, lost to the team
that ranked high in the Strawberry
Leaf tournament at Winthrop college,
in Rock Hill, S. C.

The men's affirmative and women's
negative were accompained on their
trip by Prof. Verton Queener, debate .
coach. The men's negative team, de-
bating at Lincoln Memorial, were ac-
companied by Miss Jessie Heron of the
English department.

Mrs. Walker Has
Sale For Flood
Victims Today

Local collectors were afforded an un-
usual opportunity today when Mrs
John Walker offered many of her
valuable antiques for sale to aid the
flood victims.

The sale was held at the Guest house
in the college woods, and was spon-
sored by Mrs. W. P. Stevenson's Bible
class. Signs were placed at the entrance
to the campus directing people to Mrs.
Walker's home.

Mrs. Walker offered for sale brass,
pottery, silver, and china from Europe;
antique quilts from Canada; linens,
paintings, and other things brought
from the four corners of the earth

Mrs. K. D. Martin, president of the
local chapter of the Red Cross,, express-
ed, last Tuesday evening, the appre-
ciation of her organization for Mrs.
Walker's contribution to flood relief.

Athenians Approve Design
For Society Pin Saturday

The Athenian Literary society last
Saturday night approved the design
for an Athenian pin. Stanley McCleave
has been chairman of a committee
which was forme J in September for
the purpose of receiving designs, and
he presented the committee's choice.

The accepted design embodies all the
characteristics of the Athenian emblem.
It has the Athenian owl, the crescent,
and the stars. The main part of the pin
has a border of pearls. The guard which
is included in the pin may be an "M"
or the Bainonian shield, as represent-
ing the sister society of Athenian.

Maryville college has indeed been afflicted
this tragic week. In I)r. Giffen we have lost a
learned scholar, an understanding teacher, and
a sympathetic friend. His indomitable spirit was
never so much in evidence as near the end. The
tireless energy and selfless courage displayed
at the scene of the tragedy were characteristic
of the man and his life.

Although he was a stranger to most of us, a
few short months made him the friend of all
who knew him— his colleagues, his acquain-
tances, and his students. A forceful character,
a strong belief, and a delightful personality were
characteristics that do nothing to lessen the
shock of his passing.

His absence will be hard to bear, with little
but a memory to console us in this sudden and
sobering realization that even "in the midst of
life we are in death."

Uratt Iranb

For the fourth time in five short months
Maryville's student body has been stricken.
Finding ourselves barely accustomed to the
loss of a counsellor, and a fellow student, we
find ourselves facing the difficult realization of
additional tragedy.

Many expressions of the students' affectionate
regard for Jean Brand have been received by
the Echo; and were it possible to print them
all, there would be a record of friendship un-
rivaled.

What we are all trying to express is our feel-
ing that we shall never quite fill the place that
has been left here by Jean. Through her quiet,
kindly manner she endeared herself to every-
one. From those who knew her only slightly she
had respect; and from her friendship she had
love. She was quietly kind, sympathetic, and
friendly, and we shall miss her sorely at Mary-
vie.

"THE ELIZABETH GOWDY BAKER
MEMORIAL ART GALLERY"

"The Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Memorial Art gallery"
assumes an immediate place among Maryville's most
valuable assets. Such a collection of pictures is not only
an important cultural influence rare in a college of this
size; it is almost indispensable to the achievement of the
purpose of a liberal arts education. Art appreciation
courses can be offered, but mere text books are notoriously
ineffectual, and the classroom seldom has the atmosphere
of the gallery. There is no substitute for the study of good
original work, and Mrs. Baker's work is good. Its ex-
cellence is obvious to the most untrained eye.

Most of her landscapes and a few of the portraits in that
part of the collection now on view would be decidedly at
home in any metropolitan gallery. But the most impressive
observation to be drawn from the whole showing is Mrs.
Baker's absolute mastery of the most difficult of all media.
She could apparently do anything with water color.

(jJumplrat GInttrk

S\ mong the new books received by the library in its
■•* recent order is a slim little volume in distinguished
format published by Random House. It is called "Days of
Wrath," and is translated from the French of Andre
Malraux. Its dedication "to the German comrades who were
anxious for me to make known what they had suffered
and what they had upheld" gives some slight foretaste of
what it is. It may belong to that already great and ever
increasing library of questionable books that have at-
tempted to lay bare alleged abuses and expose great social
ills, although such stuff is usually characterized by pan-
dering sensationalism that immediately makes them best
sellers. But the quiet dignity and unimpeachable good
taste of "Days of Wrath" raises it to the level of an un-
deniable work of art.

ahaux is a communist and one of the most promising
younger writers of France. His hero, Kassner, lives
the ideal of the Communist way of life. In his unselfish
sacrifice of self for others and the submergence of his
identity in integrated endeavor that reaches far beyond
personal ambitions he discovers his true personality. "He
that loseth his life shall find it."

Sespite the very probable loss through translation,
Malruax's style has a simplicity and directness that
should assure him a prominent place in contemporary
letters regardless of the inevitable prejudice to his affili-
ation with the rising "communist culture." Employing the
psychological approach, he is at his best in the descrip-
tions of the mental torture of Kassner in dark and solitary
confinement in a Nazi Concentration camp. The very
rhythm of the language suggests the turmoil of the
bruised and bloody Kassner's thoughts as he hopes for the
welcome release of speedy death.

3n its most profound aspect, the meaning of "Days of
Wrath" reaches far beyond mere political differences
and racial animosities. It touches upon some of the most
fundamental issues of life. Malraux himself best expressed
it in a prefatory note when he says, "It is difficult to be a
man. But it is not more difficult to become one by en-
riching one's fellowship with other men than by cultivating
one's individual peculiarities. The former nourishes with
at least as much force as the latter that which makes man
human, which enables him to surpass himself, to create,
invent or realize himself."

To The Editor of The Highland Echo:

At least four copies of the Echo reach the Princeton
campus and are much in demand among the seventeen
Maryville men here. It is because we have such high re-
gard for the publication that we hasten to bring to your
attention an inaccuracy in the current issue.

The Echo of January 30 carries the statement that
Athenian Literary society is the "oldest existing student
organization on the Hill." That is not true to the facts.
Alpha Sigma has that honor. Let us get historical and
explain.

In 1866 ( a year before the founding of Athenian)
there was organized an association, Animi Cultus. From
that group was developed Alpha Sigma Literary society,
and from the latter, Alpha Sigma society. In other words
the association now known as Alpha Sigma has" had a
continuous existence since 1867, one year longer than
Athenian.

It must be recognized that a mere change in name
does not mean a change in entity. For instance, Bainonian
changed its name four years ago. Does that mean that Bain-
onian is only four years old?

For further information consult Wilson, Samuel, 1.,
A Century of Maryville College, p. 200.

You understand of course, that this does not come
to you in spirit of fault-finding, but in a spirit of mutual
helpfulness, and with regard to the ideals of the •
Adelphic union, "Bonum unius, bonum omnium."

For the Maryville contingent at Princeton,

A memorial service in honor of Dr.
J. Kelly Giffen was held in the New
Providence Presbyterian church yester-
day afternoon. College students, repre-
sentatives fom Knoxyille college, and
friends united to pay tribute to the
late Bible professor.

Dr. John A, McAfee, pastor of the
New Providence church, conducted the
service. A tribute to Dr. Giffen was
read by President Ralph W. Lloyd. Dr.
Morton M. Rogers and Dr. William P.
Stevenson read scripture, and Dr.
Horace E. Orr offered prayer.

The family accompained the body of
Dr. Giffen to his birthplace, St. Clairs-
ville, Ohio, where funeral services will
be held.

On Thursday evening after supper a
memorial service was held in Voorhees
chapel in honor of Jean Brand. The
brief service was sponsored by the
Student council, under the direction of
Charles Luminati, president. Included
on the program were a few words by
Dr. Lloyd, a prayer by Dr. Stevenson,
scripture reading by Helen Maguire and
Jack Mahaney, and special music by a
quartet. Members of the Council usher-
ed at the service.

From 3:00 p. m., Thursday, on
through that evening members of the
Council were with the body at the Mc-
Cammon-Ammons funeral home.

OPEN HOUSE

(Continued from page one)

Oh, no! Surely you do not smell
toast up here on the second floor; that
sort of thing isn't done around here.
That toast-like odor is merely the result
of one of our versatile showers sudden-
ly complying . with a bather's plaintive
yelp for "H-h-h-ot w-w-w-w-ater!"

Yes, we are just one big happy family

here, with never a bit of Elmer!

Put that straight razor down. And
Erasmus, you wear your own ties' .....

discord This fourth floor was

patterned after the "grande salle" of
Louis XIV's palace, and is pervaded, as
you perceive, with the atmosphere of
powdered wigs and dainty minuets ....

Now, let us step into this room and
observe the fastidious manner in which
the Maryville man handles the interior
decoration problem

If you will kindly open a window and
let me shovel some of the dust out, we
shall soon be able to distinguish objects
in the room. Yonder is a machine de-
signed to inflict torture upon the dor-
mitory proctor — the radio. A boy will
do without a haircut, ice cream, a girl

friend, but a radio — never! If

you will look carefully under the bed
and behind the radiator you may find
; textbook or two in the room, but that
i?. extremely unlikely. It is a mark of
.'cakness and infidelity to the brother-
hood to permit anything in the room
which will interfere with the college
education, and books top the list. The
magazine pictures plastered over fhe
walls represent a struggle for supre-
macy on the part of room mates, with
each trying to cover his half of the room
with bigger and uglier pictures

The mahogany desk with the six
telephones, eight push-buttons, and
electric water-cooler, is part of the

standard equipment of each room

Note the fine view of Pistol creek

from the window And now, shall

we step downstairs to the guest suite,
where tea is being served by some of
the domestics? Step softly, please;
these steps aren't what they used to be.

There Is One
For Euerq One

By GEORGE L. HUNT

At Maryville there is a state club,
a professional club, and a literary
society for almost every student. Last
week the Echo briefly reviewed the
history of the Athenian Literary
society. This week it turns to several of
the state clubs.

THE CAROLINA CLUB, when it
was composed of students from North
Carolina, was the earliest state club of
which we have available record. In
1915 it was the largest on the hill,
with fifty members. That year it's
faithful scribe submitted to the editor
of the Echo the following report of
one of it's meetings:

"We didn't come here to fail to be
acquainted, so we taxed ourselves for
a sufficient amount to buy chocolate
and vanilla ice cream and cake with
streaks running through it, apples and
other small things too tedious to men-
tion, and these were ordered to Baldwin
hall where the group of pleasure-seek-
ing humanity was assembed."

In 1917 the club elected David H.
Briggs to its presidency. In those days
he was known as "Sheeny."

THE GREAT WESTERN CLUB is
the result of the combining of several
smaller clubs. In 1915 the West had,
among others, the Hoosier club, whose
members were from Indiana. This club
entertained its members at various
times with appropriate programs and
enjoyed a prominent place in the
activities of the college. A party at
which the members played progressive
rook and sang Indian songs reminds us
of a forgotten era.

In later years this club joined with
clubs representing Iowa and Idaho to
form the "Three I Club."

Your editor was neatly put in his place in a number of ways and a
number of times during the past week. Without undue labor he secured a num-
ber of extremely vociferous compliments upon the spread commonly encased
within these borders. It is with regret, and due only to applied pressure that
he admits this: That said notice was written by Arthur "Carrot" Byrne and
all comments upon same should be addressed to him. We retire to our dusty
corner

Once there was a farmer who had a mule. Nothing odd about that. Then
this mule, who seemingly had errant tendencies, or perhaps an eye upon greener
pastures, ran away one fine day, just a day or two before plowing was dfcie to
begin. So this farmer thought and he thought. And suddenly he reached into
his gleeve, or up in the rafters, or in the mattress, and pulled out a surprise.

Then one day the mule, finding greener pastures left a bitter taste in the
mouth, came back. Fancy his surprise when he saw the fields all plowed! And
then the crushing blow— when he sought out his familiar stall, there reposed a
neat black tractor, complete with horn, running water, and awning. His face

was a bit red (use your imagination) There's nothing resembling a

point in this story.

But have you noticed what a fine wrestling team Coach Thrower pulled

out of the sub ranks? ■ . . .

A few times back we were wont to say in regard to a certain copper

assumption comes more and more to be the truth. We refer, in a breath, to
one "Rusty" Wicklund, who has broken and smashed, ripped and torn tank
records with amazing regularity ever since his debut with the Scottie swimmers.

On his way to Emory University at the present in search of new worlds

Scribe Hears Echo of Ancient

Grunts In Tracing Mat History

By ARTHUR BYRNE

(Echo Sports Writer}

"A sport in which two persons strive
to throw each other to the ground,"
says Encyclopedia Brittannica, in an
attempt to define the recreation known
locally as rasslin.'

At any rate, wresting is known to
have been a highly developed sport even
in 3000 B. C. when, according to
scholars, old Ben Hassim, a carnage-
loving Egyptian, made rough sketches
of a couple of panting pachyderms on
the walls of his Nile villa. The odorous
affairs staged by our modern profes-
sionals often testify to the age of the
grunt and groan racket. But that ap-
plies only to the pros.

The ancient Greeks had a word for
it, too; they had several, in fact, in-
cluding strangling, butting, kicking, and
finger crushing. As an added proof of
• their diversity these boys after apply-
ing a coat of oil to their bodies, would
rub in a generous amount of sand in
order to give the opponent a fair chance
to clamp on a hold. If that isn't sports-
manship, let the Greeks name it.

In later centuries, after Mile of Cro-

tona had piled up six Olympic victories,
other peoples began to recognize the
sheer joy to be had in tearing limb
from limb a precocious foe. The Japs,
for example, took up the sport about
the eighth century A. D., climaxing
their annual season with a colossal
grunt show at the harvest festival of
the "Five Grains." The surviving grap-
pler, in addition to being named "Prince
Of Lions," was dubbed with the proud
title of "official referee."

A little later, rasslin' began to blos-
som in Merrie England, where the fic-
kle Henry VIII was known, says our
encyclopedia, " to be a powerful wrest-
ler." It is somewhat disconcerting to
note that the teddibly civilized Britons
became really uncouth when indulging
in the sport. Wrestlers wore heavily
soled shoes, "with which it was legiti-
mate to belabour the opponents' shins."
To add to the festivities the Englanders
made it necessary to hold two shoulders
and a hip, or vice versa, to the ground
before a fall was awarded. This is
known today as the three-point landing.

The boys today don't rub sand into
their bodies, or belabour with heavy
shoes, but rasslin' otherwise has chang-
ed not so much after all.

Knox Group Gains But One

Fall and Time Advantage

Over Scot Squad

The Maryville Scots took their second
win from the Knoxville YMCA wrest-
lers at Knoxville last night winning
28,8.

Four of the scraps ended in falls,
while two went to Maryville by forfeit.

The only bouts won on time advan-
tage were the 118 and 126-lb. classes, in
which Dick Battaglia, former Scottie
grappler, defeated Don Stevens, and
Bob Gillespie beat Joslin, of the "Y",
in an overtime struggle.

Elbert Montgomery registered his se-
cond fall in as many tries pinning
Weaver in 4:25. Reese Scull repeated
the trick at the expense of Jones, in
the 155-lb division, taking a fall in
2:30.

After the 165 and 175 pound contests
had been forfeited to Maryville, Fred
Tulloch, starting his first match, pinned
grid-star Bob Suffridge in 1:05.

Householder's win, registered over
Burns in the 145 gave Knoxville their
only fall.

Swimming Team
Goes To Georgia

Emory University Host To
Scottie Mermen

Coach Fishbach and the swimming
team left early this morning for Atlanta,
Georgia where they encounter the
Emory University mermen. Defeated by
a small margin last year, the Scotties are
out to avenge last years loss. Boasting
a vastly superior team this year the
Highlanders are favored to win the
meet, although little is known of the
comparative strength of the Emorymen.
The men making the trip are: Captain
Clemmer, Wicklund, Meeks, Lowe,
Chandler, Craine, Hilditch, Taylor,
Stafford and Radford.

The Maryville wrestlers took their
third straight victory of the season and
their second over Chattanooga YMCA
last Satuday when they hung up a sur-
prisingly easy 21-11 win.

Falls by Montgomery, Propst, and
Scull, and decisions by Stevens and
Meares gave the Scots their margin,
an impressive one in view of the fact
that the Chattanoogans had held the
Throwermen to a 14-12 verdict a week
earlier. Too, Maryville entered the con-
test with three regulars absent, Toll
Coulter, Jim Renfro, and Obie Jenkins
having gone with the National Guard
to aid in the rescue of flood sufferers.

The Scots went into the las t two
events with a 21-3 lead, but Sim Efland,
"Y" 175-lb. ace defeated Proffitt on
time advantage, and Parker pinned in-
experienced S. K. Taylor in the heavy
class, adding the last eight points to
the visitor's total.

The summary:

118— Stevens, M, beat Nichols, C;
time 8:25

126— Couch, C, beat Gillespie, M; time

FALL IN THE SPRING

Examination week — the season when
leaves begin to turn.

Four records were shattered by the
Maryville mermen as they outswam the
University of Kentucky Wildcat 54 to
30 at the Bartlett Pool, Thursday after-
noon, in an informal meet in which no
spectators were present. Paced by the
inimitable Wicklund who again broke
his own record in the 50 yd. dash when
he turned in the time of 26.9 seconds.
He also lowered the 100 yd record as
he clipped five seconds off the orginal
record, his time being 58.5. Lowe,
brilliant distance man, broke the college
record in the 200 yds., with the time of
2.33:3. The medley relay was also shat-
tered by the brilliant trio, Taylor,
Meeks, and Wicklund, in the fast time
of 1.37:7.

BASKET REVUE

By RALPH DOWELL

(Echo Sports Writer)

Coach L. S. Honaker's Scotty hoop-
sters will meet Pedie Jackson's Tornado
quintet at the Alumni gymnasium here
this evening at 7:00 o'clock. Next Mon-
day evening Maryville will fight it out
with Carson-Newman, which is,
theoretically, the only team that stands
in the Highlanders way for another
Smoky Mountain conference champion-
ship.

A game had been scheduled with
Milligan for last Thursday evening but
that was postponed until sometimes
later on in the season. It will probably
be played in Maryville after the Feb-
ruary meetings next week.

Scotty Quint Favorites
By virtue of their win over the King
college team earlier in the season at
Bristol, Maryville college stands as a
heavy favorite when the two teams
clash this evening in the gymnasium.
The game played at King January 22
was the hottest and fastest game play-
ed on the Tornado's court this season
and it saw the Scotties whip the Tor-
nado's to the tune of 39-33.

That night Jackson used only six
of his men and he will probably play
no more than that this evening for he
is seriously handicapped by the lack
of reserve strength. Coach Honaker is
more fortunate along this line having a
second team almost as good as the
first.

Pettigrew Ace Player

"Short" Pettigrew is the ace player

for the King team. The game in. which

Maryville and King played saw him

ring up almost half of his teams points.

Speedball New

Women's Sport

Replacement of Basketball
Announced

Speedball, a combination of soccer
and basketball, has replaced basket-
ball as the sport at the practices of the
women's point system, according to an
announcement made yesterday by Mrs.
Verton M. Queener, head of the
women's physical education depart-
ment.

The three classes have been prac-
tising for several days each week for
two weeks and the freshman class, the
sophomores, and the junior-senior
classes will organize teams soon for the
tournament to be held early in March.

Martha Watson, assistant to Mrs.
Queener states that "all women who
are interested in speedball should come
out for this sport. We want women
particularly interested in the game and
not those who are only interested in
making points, to come out."

It is expected that speedball will be
a very popular game as the women now
are very enthusiastic about it and a
great many of them attend the classes.
• The basketball tournament played
two weeks ago was won by the soph-
omore team which defeated every team
that it met.

The high flying Carson-Newman
Eag' .'s will march into Maryville Mon-
day night to meet the Scottie baske-
teers in what promises to be one of the
most outstanding and most hotly con-
tested battles to take place in the
Alumni gymnasium this current sea-
son. The outcome of this classic will
probably include the ultimate decision
as to who will wear the Smoky Mt.
Conference basketball crown.

The Eagles and the Scotties are both
ranked as outstanding favorites to an-~
nex the conference title this year.
Seventh Conference Tilt

This game will be the seventh con-
ference tilt for the Orange and Garnet
and Coach Honaker hopes to keep in
the win column. His outlook on to-
morrow's game is not so bright. The
Eagles have already played and defeat-
ed ten conference opponents. The only
tilt they have dropped this season was
the one they lost to the Southeastern
conference champs. University of Tenn.
by the score of 37 to 18. Besides ten
con ference wins they have also de-
feated Johnson Bible College and the
Lenoir City All-Staters.

Last season the Eagles split with the
Scotties, winning at Jefferson City but
dropping the one played here.

Eagles Have Strong Team

The Eagles have a stronger team than
that which played here last year. With
last year's varsity intact, two additional
lettermen, an entire constellation of
freshman stars. This years team has
been called "Coach Holt's team of
destiny."

The great scoring combination of
guards, Hamblen and Roberts will pro-
bably lead the Eagles offensive. Hawkin,
star forward will have for his running
mate Stafford, a fine floor man. At
the pivot position will be Hudson.

On last Friday, the fifty-first series
of February meetings came to a suc-

his last sermon of the series in an
especially inspired manner.

Dr. Frank N. Seerly, lecturer for the
International committee of the Y. M.
C. A. on the subject of sex education
and social hygiene has, through the
cooperation of the local Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A., been engaged to give
several addresses to the students of

Maryville on Sunday

That was some party the seniors pull-
ed Wednesday evening! Arriving at
Prof. McTeer's home somewhere around
eight o'clock, the party started off with
a scurrying search, under rugs and
over chandeliers, for red and white

heats.

* * *

Our Highland Lassies fought two
great games in the gym last week. Fri-
day night witnessed the defeat of the
Tusculum girls in an exciting game,
and Saturday evening our girls played
a mighty good game against East Ten-
nessee normal girls.

action of the General Education board
appropriating to Maryville college the
sum of $75,000 towards a Centennial

The sophomore class has established
a precedent, and at the suggestion of
the faculty, has decided to publish the
Chilhowean next year instead of the
year after. They have elected a very
efficient editorial staff: Josephine

business manager; "Happy" Lloyd,

question:
Whether 'tis easier for a man to suffer
The pouts and giggles of annoying

females
Or to take arms against a world of

women,
And thus by shooting end them? To

love — to date —
No more— and by no dates to say we

end
The head-ache and the thousand bank-
roll shocks
That love is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To date, to love,
To love: perchance to kiss: ay, there's

the rub;
For in that kiss what chaperones may

come
When we have shuffled to some dark-
ened nook,
Must give us pause, There's the reason
That makes calamity of college life;
For who would bear the jabb'ring ton-
gues of girls,
Cold benches' chill, the female's stub-
bornness,
The pangs of empty pockets, the ma-
tron's frown,
The sense of favored rivals, and the loss
Of sleep and reason that Dan Cupid

takes,
When he himself might his freedom

make
With a blunt, "Scoot, Sis."? Who would

girls endure,
To suffer in silence through weary

dates,
But that the dread of something worse

than love —
The lonely, date-less country to whose

bourn
The bachelor returns — weakens the

will,
And makes us rather bear those girls

we have,
Than try for others that we'd rather

know?
Thus caution does make couriers of us

all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'ir with the pale cast ot

thought,
And plotted jiltings of great craft and

cunning,
With this regard their currents turn

awry,
And lose the name of action. Soft you

now!
The twerp Matilda! Hi, honey, How's

for
A date with your highness tonight?

ambulance were Bob Goff, suffering a
cut on the back of the head, and George
Moore, with abdominal bruises and
severe muscular bruises on the back
of the left leg.

After the accident the College infir-
mary was filled to capacity, and a
special nurse had to be called in to help
handle the situation. While none of the
patients now seems to be in a dan-
gerous condition, a number are recov-
ering from minor shocks and bruises.
As a precautionary measure, Dr's. E. L.
Ellis, K. A. Bryant, and Wm. Crowder,
Jr., reexamined the patients yesterday
morning and made several x-rays of
injuries whose seriousness was doubt-
ful. The College authorities wish it to
be known that everything possible is
being done for those who were hurt,
and daily check-ups are being made to
obliterate the possibility of anything
else, serious developing.

Students Injured
Betty Fell, who received bruises on
the face, was badly shocked. Helen
Bewley was not seriously injured. Mary
Lou Inglis received bruises on the head,
and on last Thursday had developed a
temperature. Phyllis Gessert sustained
a broken collarbone. Kay MacDonald
was brought back badly bruised, but
was better on last Thursday. George
Felknor suffered a cut on the nose, but
was not injured badly enough to re-
main in the infirmary after he had re-
ceived treatment.

Bill Gentry, the driver of the truck,
has had many years of experience as a
driver, and this is the first case of his
having had an accident. The wreck oc-
curred after the truck jumped out of
gear and gained such momentum going
down the steep incline that the brakes
refused to hold. It was the driver's
presence of mind that kept the truck
from going over the steep embankment
on one side of the road, and he suc-
ceeded in swerving the vehicle over
against the embankment which ascend-
ed on the other side.

and America, and took bis artistry into
South America for the first time. He
was received with tremendous ovations
at Buenos Aires and Rio Janeiro. His
European concerts have won him an
invitation to play in the comation cere-
monies in England in the spring.

Is Composer

Besides his excellent work as a piano
soloist, Hofmann has attained a high
place as a composer. Among his musi-
cal works are a symphony, two con-
certos, five sonatas, several groups of
songs and the well known piano piece,
"Valse Caprice." Hofmann was the
author of two books on piano techni-
que before he was twenty-four years
old.

Tickets Demanded

This is Hofmann's first appearance in
this section although it is planned for
him to appear on th" Knoxville Con-
cert series in the future. Great demand
is being made for tickets, necessitating
an early ticket sale to students.

The choir alcove will be used as a
reserved seat section, open especially
to music students who wish to study
the movements of the artist's hands.
There will be a limited unreserved sec-
tion, to which second semester treasur-
ers receipts will admit students. Ticket
purchases for student tickets must be
accompained by second semester
treasurer's receipts.

Scotties Trounce
Teachers, 48-29

Hannah, McGill Make Most
Scots' Points

Maryville College Scotties continued
their winning ways in the Smoky
Mountain Conference as they trounced
the East Tenn. Teachers last Friday
night at Johnson City by the decisive
score of 48 to 29. This was their fourth
consecutive victory in the conference.
After lx-ui!» hi Id to 14 points in the
first half the Honakermen put on the
pressure at the beginning of the second
half and jumped into a commanding
lead and thereafter were never threat-
ened. Hannah and McGill, that un-
stoppable duo, accounted for more than
half of the Scotties points. For ' the
Teachers the offensive and defensive
' star was Dyer, dynamic little forwaiti
who accounted for 8 points and broke
wp a number of play*.

Mrs. S. T. Wilson,
Wife of Former
President, Dies

Pres. R. W. Lloyd Conducts

Funeral Service This

Afternoon

Mrs. Samuel Tyndale Wilson, wife of
Maryville's president emeritus, died at
the home of her son, Lamar Silsby
Wilson, in Glendale, California, last
Sunday.

Mrs. Wilson went to the West for
her health in the fall, and became so
ill that she could not return to her
home here. In addition to her son, two
of her daughters were with her at the
time of her death.

Mr>. Wilson, daughter of a Presby-
terian minister, was for five years a
student at Maryville and for one year
a student in the music department of
Oberlin college. She began her active
Christian life in the first series of the
February meetings, in 1877, and in that
same year united with the New Provi-
dence church, where she was a mem-
ber for Axty years.

Had she lived until June 8, she and
the President Emeritus would have
celebrated their fiftieth wedding anni-
versary.

A memorial service conducted by the
Reverend Lester E. Bond, of the Class
of 1915, was held in California soon
after her death. The funeral service in
the New Providence church this after-
noon was in charge of President Ralph
W. Lloyd, assisted by Dr. W. P. Steven-
son and Dr. M. M. Rodgers.

Spring Hill Wins
Debate Decision

The 1937 Chilhowean is expected to
be more popular by one hundred
copies and larger by twenty pages than
any other Chilhowean in the thirty one
years of publication.

John Mclntyre, the annual's business
manager, has announced that up to the
present time over four hundred and
fifty paid subscriptions to the year-
book have been received and six hun-
dred copies of the annual have been
ordered in the cover contract.

An order has been received from the
publishers that all photographic and
manuscript copy, with a few necessary
exceptions, must be complete by March
1. Because of inclement weather and
other uncontrolloble circumstances,
progress has been retarded and
the staff has been working rapidly
in an attempt to meet the required
schedule.

The feature section and the new Fine
Arts section, arranged in cooperation
with Miss Katherine Davies and Mr.
Ralph Colbert, will be the last sections
to be completed. Since a few organiza-
tions have not yet turned in their
photographic copy, Winford Ross and
Allin Stephens, photographic editors,
have asked the cooperation of all clubs
and other groups in the taking of pic-
tures. With the completion of the
sophomore section last week and the
closing of the freshman section to-day,
the first half of the book will be
finished.

There is a possibility that the delivery
of the year-book may be delayed un-
less all class and club obligations to the
Chilhowean are paid immediately. The
staff and the class officers in cooperation
with the Highland Echo are earnestly
requesting prompt payment of all dues.

Piano Recital Held Today

JOSEF HOFMANN

Record Crowd to Hear Hofmann in Chapel Tuesday
Evening; Artist Plans Varied Program
Including Haydn, Liszt.

Ticket sales of unusual proportions give promise that Josef Hofmann's
concert Tuesday evening will be witnessed by one of the largest crowds ever
to hear an Artist series number in Voorhees chapel. Practically every available
seat has been sold, although a limited section has been held open for students
not purchasing reserved seat tickets.

Hofmann, the world's greatest pianist, will present a varied program, in-
cluding selections from Haydn, Albenis Godowsky, Rachmanninoff, and Listz.
There will be groups from Chopin and Schumann. "Fury Over the Lost Penny,"
the short, furious number by Ludwig Beethoven, and Hofmann's own "Berceuse"
will be the other single selections on the program.

Plays In New York S<

Having essentially the same program
in Carnegie hall, New York, two weeks
ago, Hofmann's performance was hail-
ed greater than ever before. The Musi-
cal Courier states that music critics and
pianists were to be seen all over the
house, and, continuing the review of
the concert, the Courier states that the
crowd encored and cheered the artist
until he played practically an entire
additional program in encores. He was
then beseiged by hundreds of person
in his dressing room, wishing to con-
gratulate him and secure his auto-
graph.

Arrives Tuesday

So far as is known, Mr. Hofmann will
arrive in Knoxville Tuesday, prior to
coming to Maryville for the perform-
ance. Following the concert, he will re-

First Honors at Meet

Held Last Week

The Highland Echo carried off third
honors at the Tennessee College Press
association convention held last week.
The Association was the guest of The
University of Chattanooga Echo, which
won first place in the judging.

Vanderbilt's Hustler was awarded
second place by a group of Chattanooga
newspaper men. The Tech Oracle,
David Lipscomb Babbler, Cumberland
Collegian, and University of Tennes-
see's Orange and White received hon-
orable mention.

John Templeton, editor of the Tech
Oracle, Cookeville, was elected presi-
dent of the Association for the re-
mainder of his editorship.

Other officers elected at the same time
were: Bryan Anglin, editor of the
Vanderbilt Hustler, Nashville, vice-
president; and Margaret Wysong, assis-
tant business manager of the Sidelines,
publication of the Teacher's college at
Murfreesboro, secretary-treasurer.

The sessions of the convention,
held Febuary 11, 12, and 13, were fea-
tured by a dinner given the delegates
by President Alex Guerry of the host
university. Discussion groups on the
various phases of college journalism
were conducted by prominent news-
paper men.

Sharp competition among freshman
in tryouts February 6 caused the selec-
tion of fourteen instead of the usual
twelve to make up the freshman debate
squad.

Those chosen were: Helen Bewley,
Sara Lee Heliums, Loretta Long,
Harriet Miller, Louise Proffitt, Arda
Walker, Miriam Waggoner, Warren
Ashby, J. N. Badgett, Fred Brubaker,
Arnold Kramer, H. F. Lamon, Otto

Debate coach Verton M. Queener has
announced that this team will be en-
tered in a state-wide debate tournament,
to be held at Maryville March 26 and
27.

To date nine schools have accepted
invitations to enter teams in this con-
test. They are: Southwestern university,
University of Tennessee, Union college,
Bethel college, Murfreesboro Teachers
college, King college, Tusculum college,
Carson-Newman college, and East
Tennessee Teachers college. Teams en-
tering the tournament will be known by
numbers in order to avoid any parti-
ality in judging.

The question to be debated is, "Re-
solved: That all electric utilities should
be governmentally owned and oper-
ated," the same question used in the
Maryville tryouts, and this year's
national high school question.

Marcella Ardern, veteran varsity de-
bater, will help Mr. Queener in prepar-
ing the Maryville squad for the tourna-
ment.

Clara Dale Echols was elected presi-
dent of the Y. W. C. A. for the coming
year at an all-day poll Thursday.
Other officers will be: Louise Orr,
vice-president; Gloria Miller, secre-
tary; Joy Pinneo, treasurer; Helen
Bobo, Nu Gamma leader.

In plans to continue the work now
being carried on by the organization,
the new president will include special
emphasis upon services to new girls,
social service and mission work, and
Nu Gamma leadership. Social and
joint activities with the Y. M. C. A.
will be carried on as in the past.

"I hope," said Clara Dale in regard
to her plans, "that we shall continue
the successful work of the past ad-
ministration, and that Y. W. this year
may come to have meaning even more
than ever before for Maryville girls."

Having acted as treasurer of the
Y. W. during the past term, she has
been active in promoting its work
on the Hill. She has also served as
class secretary, and is a member of
the B. G. organization.

Louise Orr, newly-elected vice-pre-
sident, who will supervise appoint-
ment of big sisters for new girls, has
held office in the Y. W. C. A. for
three years at Maryville. She has also
been connected with class activities,
and with the Chilhowean.

New officers will assume their
duties after the formal installation

Josef Hofmann travels with two
monkeys! But they have never been
a problem to customs officials and
have never harbored a flea. They are
made of wooly cloth and may be fitted
over the hands to be manipulated as
marionettes. Mr. Hofmann is quite
adept at making the two perform. On
his long trips, he tells reporters, making
them perform is one of his chief re-
laxations. They are named Moneykiki,
who has been with Hofmann ten years,
and Moneycoucou, who is but eight
years old,

Mr. Hofmann is not eccentric, rather
he is humam Quite a lover of animals,
the artist has his farm on the shores
of Lake Geneva in Switzerland well

stocked with pigs, horses, dog and cats.
And his two sons, 5 and 11, have their
pets at the Hofmann home in Merion,
Pa.

On his tours, Mr. Hofmann seldom
practices regularly, believing over-
training worse than undertraining. On
a recent trip the artist was accom-
panied by his friend, Mr. Theodore
Steinway. Hofmann lapsed into a
silence and seemed to be enjoying a
quiet siesta. After about a half an hour,
the pianist opened his eyes.

"Have a good nap?" asked Mr. Stein-
way.

"I wasn't sleeping," was the reply, ''I
was only practicing."

Mr. Hofmann enjoys playing cards,
being adept at rummy. The other hand

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 20, 1937

CLASS DUES,
ONCE MORE

To some students the chief aim of a college career is
to try how much can be secured without expenditure of
effort. The accounting of them, if it would be read, would
be a record in red ink of liabilities unredeemed, accounts
unbalanced, and final refuge in bankruptcy. *

It sometimes seems as if it must be definitely more
trouble to avoid duty and imagine excuses for not carrying
it out than to fulfill obligations, forget them, and progress.
The man must be a fool who would swim a river and run
a risk of drowning, rather than pay the toll and cross in
ease and safety.

»i • All this leads back to the old situation when a few
people carry the responsibilities for a whole class; and— '■
the only redeeming evidence— reap what benefits it gives
toward the enrichment of life. The tragedy of it, however,
is the criticism from the less alert, and, worse, the negative
support it brings.

The senior class, in order to complete its Maryville
career with a clean record, has asked the support of its
members to a financial program which reduces ordinary
individual obligations by half, but provides for finishing
the year with no deficit. To date a few less than half
of its members have responded to the appeal. The other
half, presumably, have no interest in ciass activity and
no desire to bear a share of the burden which cooperative
! activity brings.

Let them rest in peace! The day of- reckoning and
balancing accounts is yet to come!

unnar's Daughter", most recently published work of
the Norwegian Nobel prize-winner, Sigrid Undset, is
a medieval tale told in the tradition of the old Icelandic
sagas. Students of Scandanavian letters may discover
various technicalities for scholarly debate, but judged as
a piece of modern prose— as it will be judged by the
majority of its readers— "Gunnar's Daughter" ranks high
in the roster of contemporary novels.

asil Davenport, writing in the Saturday Review, finds
grounds for criticism of Madame Undset's characteri-
zation. The people in "Gunnar's Daughter," he points out
as one who should know, do not possess a certain irony,
an "ability to contemplate one's own situation objectively,"
which is characteristic of the Icelanders of the old epics.
Regardless of the worth of Mr. Davenport's opinion, the
book is absorbing reading for all that great public which
is indifferent to inconsistencies in tradition of any other
discrepancies so irrelevant to its enjoyment as a detached
piece of literature. Even Mr. Davenport, with all his
apparent background of Scandavian culture, must have
reveled in the lusty barbarism of Ljot and Vigdis and
Ulvar — heroic but human figures which seem to have
stepped from fifteenth century manuscript.

espite motives peculiarly medieval, and ideas particu-
larly Icelandic, the fundamentality of unchanging
human nature set forth so convincingly in "Gunnar's
Daughter" gives Madame Undset wide appeal to the modern
reader.

7T he theme is one of passionate love turned to all-con-
™ suming hatred by betrayal. A proud and beautiful
woman, seduced by a faithless lover, vows relentless re-
venge even by her son on his father. The inevitable tragedy
is developed with a stark directness worthy of the pro-
verbial (and unfamiliar) tragedy of the Greeks.
A lthough Madame Undset writes of a little-known land
~*of a long-ago century in imitation of an out-moded
form, her appeal is strangely to today in its almost sophis-
ticated simplicity. Perhaps it is because she is our con-
temporary; or perhaps it is because such basic things as
love and hate, birth and death are vitally interesting to all
ages; and in proportion as a book treats of them sincerely,
skillfully, and artistically it is a great book. If the latter
is true, "Gunnar's Daughter" is a pocket-sized classic.

This Is Becoming Serious ....

H ! in'

; Presbyterian Theological Seminary
, . Chicago, Illinois
February 10, 1937
To the Editor of the Highland Echo:

We have no intention of making a "vox pop" out of
the sacred columns of our old Highland Echo, but we are
interested in veracity for veracity's sake.

First of all, let us introduce ourselves. We are indig-
nant members of Athenian-Literary-Society-in-Chicago,
and we can't resist setting our good brethern from Prince-
ton in the way of truth. Mind you, this is not to be a duel
to the death; we merely take up the cudgels of argument in
self-defense.

In the issue of January 30, two Princetonians were
quoted to the effect that the Alpha Sigma, and not the
Athenian Literary society, is the "oldest existing organiza-
tion on the Hill." They cited for verification of their claim
the work of our good President-Emeritus, Samuel T. Wilson.
We have referred to his work, and we now feel qualified
to present the real facts.

True, the. Anirhi Cult us, organized in 1867, was the first
society on the Hill, post-bellum, but there, is no evidence
that the, Alpha Sjigma society, is a continuation of j the
Animi Cultus. Dr. Wilson points out, merely, that tiie
Alpha Sigma society is the "successor" of the Animi
Cultus. As a matter of fact, even the Bainonian society is
a predecessor of the Alpha Sigma. Consider the facts:
1867— Animi Cultus organized; 1868— Athenian organized;
1865— Bainonian organized; 1882 Alpha Sigma organized.

Our worthy Princetonian brethern have made the
mistake of identifying Alpha Sigma with Animi Cultus.
Merely because one society ceases to exist and another
begins is not sufficient justification for calling the two
organizations one. Roosevelt is the successor of Hoover,
but by no stretch of the imagination is Roosevelt also a
continuation of Hoover.

We Maryvillians of Chicago are proud of our college
and of our college paper. We are eager to see that it pub-
lishes the truth and corrects errors.

E pluribus unum,

Theta Epsilon

By GEORGE L. HUNT

It's getting to be a matter that re-
quires a sort of Congressional medal
of honor to write a history of any of
the literary societies that hold forth on
the campus. To be on the safe side,
however, information has been obtain-
ed from Deane Bell, president of the
featured organization.

Theta Epsilon is the youngest of the
four social societies. It first gazed on
Chilhowee's lofty mountains when six
girls, calling themselves what would be
"happy sisters" when translated from
the Greek, met and organized in 1894.

Miss Bell says, "There was already
one women's literary society here of
some years standing, but the need for
stimulating competition was felt, and
Theta Epsilon arose to supply that
need."

The original members adopted blue
and white colors, and drew up a con-
stitution ,so that the organization could
have a firm foundation. Year by year
the group enlarged, until in 1906 it
had sixty members of which it could
be proud. Today it has a membership
totaling 115.

The motto which the sister society to
Alpha Sigma adopted, and to which
all members are pledged, is "Si Deus
valiscum, quis contra vos." To the
Latins this meant "If God is with us,
who can be against us?"

Theta Epsilon is outstanding on the
Voorhees stage, and in its attack against
the offerings of talent from other
literary societies it is led by its presi-
dent. Last year, with an outstanding
production of "Lady Windermere's
Fan," Theta won the Theta Alpha Phi
cup. This season has seen a strong bid
to retain the treasured' prize with a
presentation of "Craig's Wife."

In all activities on' the Hill the
society has had a leading part. V.„ W.
C. A. officers, journalistic workers, and
Pi Kappa' Delta officials nave been
members of the "happy sisters." Ac-
cording to its president, "Theta Epsilon
wishes to grow and accomplish more in
the future."

All this controversy between Alpha
Sigma and the Greeks seems quite
stupid ... In 6pite of their venerable
ages neither is evidently old enough to
know better ... Or, mayhap, they
reach second childhood? . . . And
alumni don't seem to gain any wisdom

after graduation . . .

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 20, 1937

HO HUM

Stack the state wrestling title back in the dusty files,
gentlemen. It isn't going anywhere this year. Robert C.
Thrower, that chap from Maryville College, has again
conclusively demonstrated that Tennessee wrestling is
right in the palm of his hand.

Laurels, orchids, and all else to the grunters of Thrower for an ex-
cellent season of the mat sport From 118-lb. Don Stevens to 205 lb. Fred Tulloch
stretches a row of champions. May the record that they have continued never
be broken,

FOILED AGAIN

Some years back, quite a few years, indeed, we used to trot to the
grocery store with Momma when the day came for paying the bill for weekly
eatables. We always liked to go on bill-paying days, for the, grocer was wont
to bend smilingly over the counter and offer us a treat, sort of a dividened
for paying the bill. This was, since is was free, evidently nice, and must be
listed as a Good Thing, as is everything, or most everything Aat is free.

Something that comes without the usual price tag upon it is undoubtedly
a Good Thing. At least that was the opinion circulating when we talked with
one Bill McGill this week. We were discussing the prospects and aspects of a
working fencing team hereabout Maryville. Said M'sieur McGill in part: "We
want a fencing team badly. All we want is a place to have our matches, just
any old place big enpugh to swing a couple of foils. We don't want any money,
any "Treat" from the athletic funds. We have a lot of fun fencing, and we
think that an audience of Maryville men and women would have a lot of fun,
too." So say we all of xts.

It seems, though, that the sword-swingers have run up against a snag
or two. They've spent a lot of time in practice, trying to revive and keep re-
vived the ancient sport of fencing around and about the Hill. Wethlnks it
would be a pity to see such a noble and unselfish effort come to such an ignoble
end. So here's hoping— for a bigger and better fencing team at Maryville.

Upperclass Squad Exhibits
Speed in Winning, 5-3

The junior-senior girls speedballfc
team defeated the sophomores 5-3 inj
the first game of the year last night"
as a preliminary to the Maryville-
Milligan game.

At the end of the first half the score
was tied at two all but then in the
final period the Upperclass women put
on a spurt that sent them into the lead.
The junior-seniors were by far the
better team.

* Speedball is -a. combination of basket-
ball and soccer. While the ball is in
the air the game is played as basket-
ball but when it is on the floor it is
played as soccer. Goals, counting one
point each may be made either between
the goal lines or in the basket. Nine
players are on each team.

The game last evening was the first
of a series of interclass games which
will continue through February and on
info March. >*"

\ Only a very few fouls were \ called
on either team las^ night. However,
Jane Corey, of the sophomores was in
jured during the first half and lib?

substitute.

Highlander Basketeers
Overwhelm LMU, 50-28

The Maryville basketeers partially,
atoned for their defeat by Carsonr-New-
man when they overwhelmed Lincoln
Memorial here Wednesday night byjfr
50-28 count.

After being held at an 18-15 lead in
the last period to pile up a comfortable
the first half, the Scots opened up in
lead on the Railsplitters, who boast
one of the Smoky Circuit's better teams.

Lee Hannah's last-half drive, during
which he tallied 12 points, gave the
Maryville center top scoring honors.

Howard McGill and Caney Stanley,

A 21-9 trouncing administered to the
Tennessee Vols Thursday night kept
safe the Maryville wrestlers' state
title claims.

Winning two decisions and three falls,
the Scots successfully passeld thei#
first test against college competition
this year.

U. T. Wins Three Bouts

Tennessee's only wins came in the
118, 126, and 155 pound divisions, where
they secured three time decisions for
their nine point total.

Falls were registered for Maryville
in the 135, 165, and unlimited classes,
by Eldon Montgomery, Jim Proffitt,
and Fred Tulloch. Montgomery's fall
was his third in as many tries while
Tulloch kept a perfect record of two
falls in two attempts.

Tulloch Wins by Fall

Tulloch, "himself a grid star, has had
as his victims two of the best known
football performers in the state. He
beat Bob Suffridge, Knoxvile Central
star representing the Knox YMCA,
two weeks ago, and followed up last
night by adding Jo Black Hayes, Ten-
nessee's guard and 1937 captain, to his
list.

The Scots will be after their sixth
straight triumph Tuesday afternoon
when they face the Vols at Knoxville
in a return meet

CINDER CAPERS

By RALPH DOWELL

(Echo Special Writer)

Continuing this erstwhile scribe's
statement and opinions with a resume
of the track and field prospects for
1937— Ed.

If anyone should see during the next
few weeks a few boys running around
in a circle just south of the gymna
sium and west of the foot-ball field
he could say, "Those are the boys who
are left of Maryville's crack track
team."

The boys, under the leadership of
Coach Robert Thrower have been con-
ference champs and runners up in the
State meets for some time. This was due
mostly to the performances of those
who for graduation or other reasons
will be unable to participate this year
We shall miss Stu' Snedecker, one of
the best runners Maryville has ever
produced, Rom Meares, Lavendar, Rich,
Kleemeier, Smith, Steakley, Gray, and
Loessberg, who could account for points
against any opponents.

Nucleus Around Lettermen

The nucleus around which the team
will be built this year are those re
turning, namely, Talmage, a great run-
' ner in the quarter and half-mile, Speed
Savitski, the sprinter, Weldon Baird,
a distance man, and "Iron-man" Propst,
the weight thrower. There are several
old members of the squad fighting for
that honor of becoming itetteT-man.
Among these are; Orr, Rugh, Hallam,
Morgan, Chandler, Ross, Atkins, and
Roddy. imruM ■ •

The Maryville team in the past has
been one which could emerge from
competition by winning by a great

WASHINGTON-LINCOLN
SHARING

The Roll of Honor

for February

It is to America's, honor that she pro-
duced two such great men as George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Sterling leaders, courageous men, they
stand for the true characteristics and
real ideals of America as a nation. A
nation as a whole that is more than
capable of producing great men of the
future as great and as outstanding
as these two.

Maryville Battles
Carson-Newman
In Crucial Game

Scotties Anxious To Avenge

Former Defeat In

Game Tonight

Coach L. S. Honaker's Orange and
Garnet basketball squad left for Car-
son-Newman this afternoon to battle it
out tonight with the Eagles in the
most crucial game of the season for
either team, for upon this game hinges
the outcome of the Smoky Mountain
conference championship.

The game this evening promises to
be one of the hottest and fastest of the
year in the conference race, if it is
anything like the game played in Mary*
ville recently, in which the Eagles
won an overtime battle, 40-37.
Ninth Conference Game

This evening's battle is the ninth con-
ference game for the Highlanders, and
the team is seeking revenge for its de-
feat by the Eagles. The Carson-New-
man team has already met and defeated
eleven conference opponents. University
of Tennessee, the southeastern champs,
is the only game they have lost this
season, dropping that one by the score
of 37-18.

Last year the Eagles split even with
Maryville, winning at Jefferson city
and losing the game played in the
Alumni gymnasium. But this year's
Eagles team is a much more experienc-
ed and efficient quintet than last year's
for seven lettermen returned from ,the
squad, and a whole new set of fresh-
man stars* appeared on the floor, ,

Scotties Win Close Game
In Last Minute

Maryville's Scots continued their
cage comeback with a last-minute,
28-27 win over Milligan College here
last night.

A crip by Lee Hanah, made in the
final minute of play, erased the Buff's
27-26 lead and enabled the Scotties
to chalk up their tenth victory in
eleven conference starts. ^ i

Milligan Leads First Half *.\

It was a repetition of the Carson-
Newman thriller, with the lead switch-
ing at frequent intervals throughout
most of the game. Milligan field the
upper in the first half, amassing a 1"-
14 advantage, but yielded to the
Scotties' second half pressure.

The Eylermen appeared to have the
game on ice until Hannah slipped un-
der the basket, and, after taking a
pass from Jack Overly, dropped in the
winning goal.

Scots Hope For Title

The victory kept alive the Honakerr
men's hopes for another championship.
A Maryville win over Carson-Newman
tonight, and a loss by the Eagles in
their game with the strong Appalachian
teachers, would return Maryville to the
top of the Conference race.

hopes are penned around Hannah, all-
conference center, and McGill, ace for-
ward. .■!■!■. ;/<"

Because of their victory earlier in
the season the Carson -.Newman, team
is rated as the favorite in tonight's
battle, but Maryvijle has every chance
of upsetting the, sport writers' pre-
dictions.

keep a fellow in fine trim-no better
exercise in the world than trying to get
to the next lecture before roll call.

-M. C—
Which English teacher, unconsciously
repeating Tuesday'* lecture on Thurs-
day, innocently remarked that she is a
strong believer in things up-to-date?
— M. C—
We've heard of at least one conscien-
tious co-ed who is torn between respect
for Dr. Morgan's eleventh command-
ment and a dread of spinsterhood.
-M. C—
A suggestion: Painless extinction,
through some kindly yet firm means
of all citizens over seventy years of
age. These human relics of the horse-
buggy-and-constitutional- government
days, fettered by tradition, won't walk
in the New Way, and therefore they
constitute a menace to the Era of Light
and Justice. Selah.

war in Spain, with oodles of people
being bombed and things. In Berlin we
saw three communists executed, and in
Moscow, twelve Nazis. We didn't like
Italy; they keep their killings too
secretive. But China was lovely!
Heads were being cut off on every

majority or losing the same way. The
prospects of a winning team this year
will depend upon the willingness and
performance of the new men.
New Candidates Out
In regard to new candidates we have
a few who should aid the team. "Monk"
Myers, freshman basketball and track
man from Illinois will seek laurels in
the pole-vault. Tulloch will be out to
defeat his room-mate, Propst, in the
weights. Stanley, Humpheries, Faulk-
ner, and others will turn out for the
initial practice.

Track is a sport of many different
events and is open to the one best
suitable for a particular event. Anyone
having some natural ability and will-
ingness to work should be trying to
earn that prized letter "M".

Schedule Not Completed
As to the schedule for this year we
can say that plenty of competition is
in store when we encounter teams like
Davidson, University of Tennessee,
Sewanee, and probably Vanderbilt.

February 20, 1917

Under the leadership of the Reverend
J. M. Broady, the fortieth series of
February meetings came to a close,
after seventy-one students were influ-
enced to begin the Christian life and
over two hundred students consecrated
their lives to the service of the Master.

The climax of the meeting was reach-
ed at the closing service, last Friday
morning. One of the seniors arose! It
was easy now to plead for others to
follow this young man's lead. And they
followed! So quickly and so steadily
did they "hit the trail" that the presi-
dent of the college, Dr. S. T. Wilson,
who has been through forty such cam-
paigns, was overcome with joy, buried
his head in bis hands, and wept like a
shild. There were others besides Dr.
Wilson in the audience who could not
keep back the tears of joy.

February 18, 1927

The request of Maryville college for

a post office on the Hill has received

favorable consideration at the hands

of postal authorities in Washington.
* • •

Since the middle of January there
have been thirty-four cases of measles
treated at the college hospital.

On last Friday, the fifty-first series
of February meetings came to a suc-
cessful close. Dr. Marston, preaching
his last sermon of the series, presented
in a most forceful manner the claims
of Christ.

The appeal throughout the entire
series was non-emotional, but sensible
and rational, and it is safe to say that
not one decision was made without
calm and collected forethought.

* * *

Last Tuesday evening the Parson-
ettes of Carson-Newman college were
defeated by the Highland Lassies by
a 32*12 score. This was the first defeat
fpr the Parsonettes this year.

* • •

Last Monday evening Dr. McMurray
entertained the senior class at his
home with a Valentine party. This was
the first senior party since the New
Year began so there was a hundred
per cent attendance. The feature of the

evening was the rolling game.

is generally held by Mrs. Hofmann.
Chess and ping-pong are other favorites
of his. As his other relaxations, the
artist tries his hand at invention, boat-
ing and hiking. Among his inventions
are oil-burning furnaces, shock ab-
sorbers and snubbers. He has designed
and built automobiles and motorboats.
Recently, he has been working on
colapsible roller-skates, and a model
house that can revolve to meet the
sun.

Mr. Hofmann is not hard to please
with food. However, when intent on
a problem, he may live for days on
boiled eggs, toast, and tea. When he
has solved the problem, he generally
goes out for steaks— nice, juicy, thick
ones.

The artist nas a pet aversion for
squeaking benches and uneven floor-
boards, and has made use of his in-
ventive genius to solve the problem.
With him he carries a colapsible
bench, whose legs can be adjusted to
meet the ups and downs of the floor-
boards.

Tuesday evening, Hofmann appears in
Voorhees chapel. He has always been
a favorite of college and university
audiences wherever he has appeared.
He is always glad to autograph pro-
grams for his admiring audiences.

The best angle to approach a prob-
lem is the try-angle.

It is a frequent compliment for watches and clocks
to be set according to the passage of the trains.

Yet the years are constantly requiring new schedules to

meet the accelerated tempo of modern business. Passengers

' today must measure their miles by their minutes, and freight

must travel at what used to be good passenger-train speed.

The Illinois Central's streamline Green Diamond, for
example, makes its daily 588-mile round-trip between 9t.
Louis and Chicago in 590 minutes, including stops. The
MS-1 (Merchandise Special, a freight) reaches Memphis
overnight from Chicago, after several stops, covering the
527 miles in 830 minutes.
Other trains are proportion-
ately speeded.

To maintain schedules under
present demands is a chal-

resourcefulness. It is hearten- comfort and dependability of

Four Teams, Two
Special Speakers
To Attend Meet

Debate Tournament to Be
Held at Winthrop
Next Week ,

Four debating teams and two special
speakers will accompany Prof. Verton
Queener, Maryville debate coach, to
Winthrop college, Rock Hill, South
Carolina, next week to take part in the
South Atlantic Forensic tournament. In
the three previous years that Maryville
\* has entered this contest it has won first
in the debating contest twice and five
first places in special contests.

In the tournament, which will con-
tinue through March 4, 5, and 6, Helen
Maguire, Mary Frances Ooten, Mark
Andrews, and Dick Schlafer will uphold
the affirmative side of the national Pi
Kappa Delta question. Curtmarie
Brown, Etta Culbertson, Walter West,
and Don Hallam will represent the
negative. Louise Proffitt will enter the
women's oratorical contest; Don
Hallam, the men's oratorical contest;
-and Warren Ashby, the men's extem-
f pore contest. Speakers in the
impromptu and after dinner contests
will be chosen later.

The debaters plan to leave Maryville
rat four, Thursday morning and to
enter their first round of debates at
three o'clock that afternoon. They will
return some time Saturday.

Twenty-eight colleges from eight
different states will take part in the
tournament. The debates will be judged
by coaches of the teams participating.
Finals will not be finished until Sat-
urday, but the results of the special
contests wlil be announced earlier.

Two teams representing Waynefe-
► burg (Pennsylvania) college plan to
return with the Maryville debaters in
order to participate in a debate here
on the following Monday evening. The
subject of the debate will be chosen
after the teams arrive, and they will
be given only a limited time to prepare
their arguments.

Professor and Student
Attend Meet of Physics
Group Friday, Saturday

Associate professor of mathematics
and physics Edgar R. Walker and Bill
Meeks attended last week a convention
for the betterment of physics at Dur-
ham, North Carolina. The meetings
were conducted by American Physics
socic!y and the Physios Teachers asso-
ciation. Duke university and the Uni-
versity of North Carolina were the
hosts.

Friday morning the visiting delegates
made a tour oi' the Duke buildings. In
the afternoon lectures were given by
Niels Bohr and Hans Bethe, noted
scientists. On Saturday the University
V of North Carolina was the host, and
during the day many ten-minute
scientific papers were rea 1 by attend-
ing members.

The delegates, numbering nearly two
hundred, were from universities and
colleges in the north, east and south.

NOTICES

STUDENT WORKERS

All time sheets for work done
on the College program must be
turned in at the Student Help
office before Monday, in order to
be included on the payroll.

N. Y. A. time sheets should be
turned in on Wednesday evening,
and should include work done
that day.

SENIORS

Dave Brittain, president of the
Class of 1937, has requested that
all seniors be prepared to remain
after the regular chapel seviee
Wednesday morning for an im-
portant class meeting.

Josef Hofmann, world renowned
pianist and composer, played his own
special piano Tuesday evening before
one of the largest crowds ever to
assemble in Voorhees chapel. He ap-
peared as the second number on the
1936-37 Artist series.

Chairs placed in the aisles and in the
choir alcove made use of practically
every possible space in the chapel,
although some people were forced to
stand. Visitors from nearby communi-
ties swelled the audience to approxi-
mately 1200.

Gives Carnegie Program

The program presented by Mr. Hof-
mann was, with one exception, the
same he gave recently in Carnegie hall,
New York. Carefully and artistically
arranged for effect, his selection in-
cluded Haydn's "Theme and Varia-
tions in F Minor," several Chopin com-
positions, in the interpretation of which
Hofmann excels, and a concluding
"Hungarian Rhapsody," by Liszt.
Had Pleasing Personality

Mr. Hofmann seemed willing and
pleased to autograph programs for his
listeners. "This is one favor," he said,
"that I never refuse." After the con-
cert many students and visitors met the
pianist back stage.

Has Golden Anniversary

Having started concert work fifty
years ago, Mr. Hofmann is now on his
golden anniversary tour. He will go
later in the spring to London, where
he will play at the coronation cere-
monies of King George VII.

Cooperative Spirit Shown

With nearly 200 students working on
various projects, the NYA program is
again proving successful.

"There has been a very fine spirit of
cooperation on the part of the stu-
dents," said Miss Clemmie J. Henry,
director of student-help. She also add-
ed, "A great deal of work that re-
quires initiative has been done."

The government has supplied $13,000
for the use of Maryville college, and
although it is only a minor part of the
$50,000 which is being used this year on
the student-help program, it has help-
ed greatly.

Due to the fact that NYA is not a
certainty for next year, plans have not
been completed for next year's pro-
gram.

Maryville's Missionary

Conducts Annual Drive

Fred Hope, Maryville graduate and

ionary in West Africa, will conduct

the annual Fred Hope drive in person

March 10 and 11, President Ralph W.

Lloyd announced this week.

Mr. Hope has returned from the

ion field because of the need for

caution for his health. He was here in

1934. the last time that he conducted

the drive personally.

The Fred Hope drive is an annual
project in which Maryville students
have the opportunity to contribute
funds to help with mission work among
the African natives.

Eleven seniors, nine women and two
men, are now engaged in honors work
projects in eight departments of the
curriculum. The system, initiated only
a few years ago at Maryville, provides
for a study of special concentration in
some phase of the student's major
field, similar to work done for the
Master's degree in a graduate univer-
sity.

In the department of English, Shirley
Jackson is making a study of the
imagery in the poetry of Edward
Arlington Robinson, tracing in her
study the personality of the poet. Mary
Lawson, in the same department, is
making a study of medieval sources of
material in William; Morris' "The
Earthly Paradise."

Student Does Hormone Research

In the Chemistry department Jose-
phine Winner is planning an original
and valuable research project involv-
ing the study of the function of the
cortical hormone from the adrenal
glands. She hopes to obtain a number
of guinea pigs for use in this study.
Dorothy Leaf has outlined twenty pro-
blems in organic chemical analysis,
mostly of items of general interest.
Professor George D. Howell is directing
the projects.

Studies Diabetes

Under the supervision of Miss Ger-
trude Meislewitz, Marcella Ardern has
planned a thesis entitled "An historic
and analytic survey of diet in the
treatment of diabetes using a correla-
tion of hospital dietaries." In prepar-
ing for her study Miss Ardern has
done much library research and has
sent circular dietary letters to one

Carnegie Open House

The open house held in Carnegie
hall on February 24 was attended by
a large number. In addition to women
students, many faculty members visited
the men's residence.

Mrs. Grace P. Snyder, supervisor of
women's residences, remarked, "I was
particularly impressed with the general
neatness of the rooms. Pictures of maps
and ships on the walls show that the
men have visions. Also prominent was
the evident hospitality and eagerness
ol the men to conduct us through the
rooms. "

Proctor E. E. McCurry requested that
the Echo express his appreciation for
the men's cooperation and the services
rendered by guides.

Glee Clubs Plan Elaborate
Staging for "Mikado"

A thirty-five piece orchestra is un-
dertaking concentrated rehearsal of the
accompaniment for the combined Glee
clubs' presentation, of Gilbert and
Sullivan's "Mikado," March 12.

The light opera is under the direc-
tion of music instructor Ralph R. Col-
bert, who has been conducting re-
hearsals of the men's and women's
choral organizations for several weeks.
Under his guidance, character and solo
interpretations are being shaped, and
chorus groupings worked out.

Elaborate sccner :\\vl costume
effects are being planned by Ellen Sauer,
wardrobe mi id Maxwell Cor-

nelius, stage manager. The semi-cir-
" jta^e in Voorhees chap?l will be
used without I , to provide space

staging effects.

"Harriel Barber and William Karu-
. id Mr. Colbert Friday, "are
doing splendid work in their parts. The

Test Requirements

To Teachers

Revising the original statement con-
cerning regulations for comprehensive
examinations for seniors, Dr. E R.
Hunter today released the following
statement:

The opportunities for discussion
regarding comprehensive exami-
nations that have come since the
announcing of the details of the
plan a month or more ago have led
the faculty to feel that a change
is warranted in the matter dealing
with exemption of seniors from
routine examinations in the second
semester in courses in their major
field.

In a number of cases students
have expressed a desire to take
these tests as the best means of
preparing themselves in the
courses, and in other instances
teachers who depend largely on
examinations as means of judging
student attainment also wish the
privilege of examining their senior
majors.

In view of these opinions, the
faculty decided to leave it to each
teacher to decide in each class
situation whether or not it is
necessary to hold the senior majors
for their scheduled tests.

Mr. Daniel B. Baker will conduct the
first in a series of lectures and conver-
sations on art, Tuesday from 2:05 to
3:00 in the Elizabeth Baker Memorial
Art gallery, according to an announce-
ment made this week by President
Ralph W. Lloyd.

Mr. Baker, donor of the gallery which
contains his wife's paintings, has for
twenty-five years been acquainted with
lives and works of well-known artists
in America and abroad. He has taken
an active part in the handling of ex-
hibits and business matters pertaining
to Mrs. Baker's paintings.

The lectures will be held on alternate
Tuesdays and Wednesdays for several
weeks — the first on March 2, the second
oh March 10, alternating each week for
the convenience of students who have
F period classes.

Under the sponsorship of the Fine
Arts department the lectures will con-
cern art in general, as well as the pic-
tures in the gallery. Part of the period
will be a forum in which all who wish
may ask questions.

Patience And Quiet Accommodation
Characterize Hofmann, The Artist

By WALTER WEST

A short, gray-haired man in a large
tan overcoat stood almost unnoticed by
the steps of a Southern railroad pull-
man. About him a red-cap was piling
traveling bags, perhaps entirely uncon-
scious that the initials. "J. H.," meant
that they belonged to the world's
greatest pianist. Such was the arrival
in Knoxville of Josef Hofmann Tuesday.

A few minutes later, as Dr. Hofmann
was being driven to the hotel, droll
humor broke forth. He picked up a
poster intended for display in the hotel
lobby, and, looking at the silhouette on
it. said. ''You know, I have a new son.
He was born just a week ago."

He laughed softly. "My second boy,
six years old. was quite glad to find
that his little brother wasn't going to

be black like his father's picture."

Although the artist asked no ques-
tions about the ticket sale, Prof. George
E. Howell broached the subject. When
told that people were coming from
distances of two hundred miles to hear
him, Dr. Hofmann replied, "I've done
belter than that. I've come a thousand
to !>e here."

Before the hotel, Dr. Hofmann took
off his topcoat and posed for snapshots.
Patient, quiet, and accomodating are
words that describe the personality of
Hofmann.

The room reserved for the artist lack-
ed the ventilation he desired. While
waiting to be taken to another room,
Dr. Hofmann discussed several of the
great figures of the musical world.

Lead in "Graustark,"

Voorhees Chapel

Members of the Writer's Workshop
have selected the five best literary pro-
ductions of last semester to be placed
on permanent file in the library.

The following works were selected:
"The Settin' Up," a story by Daphne
Harris; "Rain," a poem by Dr. E. R.
Hunter; "Shore Duty," a story by Miss
Elizabeth Jackson; "The Last Word,"
a story of Shirley Jackson, and "Absit
Invidia," a poem by Reese Scull.

"The Settin' Up" is written in south-
ern mountain dialect, and deals with
the superstitions of the typical moun-
tain people.

"Rain," by Dr. Hunter, was written
in commemoration of the death of Dr.
John W. Cummings.

"Shore Duty," a short story, portrays
the struggles and hardships of life in a
New England sailing village. Shirley
Jackson's story, "The Last Word," is
the story of an old New England woman
who insisted upon having her funeral
before she died.

"Absit Invidia" has as its background
the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The
theme centers around the struggle of
a young man who cannot adjust him-
self to the disparity between the
religious teachings of the priests and
the tyranny of the political leaders.

These five selections are considered
by the Workshop the finest work done
by any of the members during the last
semester.

Work In Literary History

Lois Black and Gerald Beaver will
lead in Athenian's presentation of
"Graustark," the season's final mid-
winter, tonight in Voorhees chapel at
eight o'clock.

Overcoming great handicaps during
the last month of rehearsals, the play
cast has developed a strong contender
for the Theta Alpha Phi cup, under the
direction of Mrs. Nita Eckles West.
Dress rehearsals on Thursday and Fri-
day evenings precede tonight's per-
formance. Ticket sales of promising
proportion are reported by Robert Mc-
Kibben, business manager.

Dramatized from Novel

The story of the play, written by
Grace Hayward from George Barr Mc-
Cutcheon's novels, revolves around the
romance of the princess of a mythical
European country. A young American
saves the princess from being kidnap-
ped and secures both the wrath of a
villainous prince, to whom the princess
must be married unless a war debt is
paid, and the love of the princess.
Has Duel Scene

There follows a duel, in which a
member of royalty not involved in the
meeting is killed. Circumstantial evi-'
dence points to the American as mur-
derer, but the mystery is not solvedl
until the last moments of the last act,
when the solution provides a bombshell!

This evening will witness the last of the .midwinter plays
presented by the societies in quest for the Theta Alpha Phi
cup. With the end of the season wffll com* general aban-
doning of things dramatic until the senior class play-
To students having a deep-grounded interest in Mary-
ville's cultural activities it seems a near tragedy that so
many potential working or recreational hours, and so
much effort and ingenuity, are expended each year in the
production of four plays which must, because of limited
financial resources and half-hearted patronage by students
and townspeople, be considered fortunate if they "break
even." And experience in the past and in the present
has taught ambitious promoters that a too enthusiastic
approval of a high royalty play demanding elaborate stag-
ing and costume effects leads only to the red-inked "De-
ficit" on the business manager's report.

In addition, a production which requires even a minimum
amount of attention by its cast in learning lines, attending
rehearsals, and appearing on the Voorhees stage must
necessarily also limit its participants in other scholastic
activities which often seem to be of more lasting value
than the scripts upon which much time is spent. What, for
example, remains for a man after he has mastered the lines
of nearly any $35 royalty play, acted his part, and forgotten
|it, when he might have taken part in other activities,
or earned a few additional grade points. True, some manage
to carry dramatic roles along in their stride of extra-
curricular activities. But there remains the class of stu-
dents who, at the glimpse of the accumulation of interests,
I have '%o much to do they don't see how they can ever
finish,'4 and they eliminate from their schedule something
vital.

If these sacrifices are to be made in order that we
have a rounded dramatic program, they should be made
i to some end. And it is here that reform seems needed. A
combination of resources of brother and sister societies in
the production of two, instead of four midwinters each
year would seem to us an extremely' worth-while pro-
position. The small decrease in number of social events
surely would not be noticeable in a program as packed
as Maryville's is. It would become an honor to have a role
to play, and expression students not provided for by the
characterizations in the two midwinters might obtain ex-
perience in informal recitals or, as they do now, by con-
tributing to the rounding out of other programs on the
Hill.

Maryville might be a business manager's paradise if pro-
ductions were fewer in number and more worthy of sup-
port. An'd surely, with a combination of talents, originalities,
and finances in two societies the College dramatic produc-
tions might have even higher ranking among the cultural
pursuits of the community and surrounding country.

A Man .and His Dog, (Herr und Ilimd), by Thomas Mann,
affords, a refreshing oasis in our present-day landscape
of letters seared to desert dryness by the heat of sordid
passion, bitter irony, and unsmiling satire which so often
characteriwe contemporary literature. Written 4>y one of
the greatest, living authors and Nobel prize winner of 1929,
it impress** one as being the work of a great mind in
relaxation.

73T he biogeaphy of a dog, it is nevertheless filled with
^ a certain great scholarship which comes from more
mature speculation on little things. It is hard to .believe
that is was written in the very midst of the Great War,
unless, as has been said, Mr. Mann "wrote to turn his
mind from the chaos about him."

TjC e approaches the study of his dog as might a sdolar.
™ None of the sentimentality of Albert Payson Terbune;
no illusions as i* the nobility of a dog's soul or the make-
up of a canine character— his dog is an animal nothing
more. Probably the most remarkable feature of the book
is Mann's observation. Every little idiosyncrasy, each pecu-
liar quirk of behavior has been almost casually noted
and act down. Mr. Mann's familiarity with his dog would
put t» shame the more specialized knowledge of a fancier.
A Man and His Dog is written in a far different vein
■*^ from Mann's earlier and greater works. Buddenbrooks
was a frankly autobiographical novel of development; The
Magic Mountain, an analysis of abnormal character. A Man
and His Dog, compared with such formidable works, is
the lightest diversion. Yet the lucidity of thought, the free-
flowing beauty of style, the sympathetic and scholarly
treatment of subject matter brand it at once a piece of
literature of more than transitory value.
■Ji n it, Thomas Mann is revealed not so much as the
*^ philosophic author as the meditative essayist — an
Addison brought to date, a latter-day Montaigne.

INTRODUCING
BAINONIAN

By QEORGE L. HUNT

In 1875 women of the Hill became aroused to the fact
that there was no literary or social society for them on
Maryville's campus. When, in response to the question of
why they could not have such an organization, an Athenian
said, "Pshaw! Girls couldn't draft a constitution and by-
laws; and even if they did have them, they wouldn't know
how ot use them. Girls can't debate, anyway!" several
girls met in a classroom and organized the Bainonian
Literary society. Professor Lamar suggested the name,
which means "going forward," and this has been an out-
standing characteristic of the society in its 62 years of
active organization, " , ~' ■ .'..*•-

Various signs and seals of the group were first attended
to by zealous workers. Their motto was "Alius volumnus
proprius," which they interpreted to mean, "We fly with
our own wings." They adopted the colors, green and white.

Bainonian is the largest women's society on the Hill.
Because its hall could not accomodate this year's enrol-
ment, the Y. W. rooms have been serving as a meeting
place for the group. Dottie Mae Lewis is now serving as
president, having been elected when the one-semester
term of Calista Palmer expired.

Bainonian is represented in nearly every activity. The
production of the difficult "Elizabeth the Queen" last
winter, with the aid of brother Athenians, gave an impetus
to the outstanding performances which have featured this
years' UuC 'inter season.

Members of the society are active in all phases of
college life. Lillian Crawford, queen of the Thanksgiving
Barnwarmin' last fall; Shirley Jackson, vice-president of
the senior clss; Harriet Barber, whose contralto voice is
an outstanding feature of every musical presentation on
the Hill; Helen Maguire, president of Pi Kappa Delta; and
Lois Brown, expression graduate, now president of Theta
Alpha Phi and the Y. W. C. A., are representatives of
Bainonian's role.

Patnkiti6m was tile. theme of the for-
mal dinner held last Tuesday evening
in Pearsons hall.

George Washington was .celebrated
in a ski presented by Lois Black, as
Martha Washington, and William
Karukas, as the hanorable George, the
scene taking place ii a modem heaven.

Others on the program were Jean
Barlow, who gave several popular num-»
bera on the piano; lEdward Brubaker
and Rupert Woodward, on the violin,
accompanied by Elizabeth Moore, who
gave two numbers; Gerald Beaver and
Charles Blak, who gone several popu-
lar numbers on the piano; and the
freshman quartette, William Karukas,
Jack Meigs, Ralph Reed, and Sick
Woodring.

"The Star Spangled Banner" was
sung by everyone, concluding the pro-
gram.

The dinner was in charge of William |
Swearingen, Robert Gillespie, Marion
Lodwick, and Joan Dexter, appointed
from the social committee especially
for the occasion.

HOFMANN, THE ARTIST

(Continued from page one)
Lauritz Melchior, Rose Bampton, John
Charles Thomas, Iso Briselli, Lily Pons,
and Helen Jepson all came in for a
share. Compliments were given to John
Barbarolli, the young English conductor
who led the New York Philharmonic
society during the winter.

Dr. Hofmann's humor once more
asserted itself when he referred to Ten-
nessee's child-marriage. Discussion had
turned to Jose Iturbi, with whom Dr.
Hofmann will soon appear in concert in
Minneapolis. When reminded that
Iturbi was a grandfather, Dr. Hofmann
replied, "That's entirely possible, now
that girls marry at sixteen, fifteen,
twelve — and in some places, nine."

Once situated in a room through
which a swift current of air was pass-
ing, Dr. Hofmann prepared to lie down
and rest and "forget that things were
moving."

He asked no elaborate preparations
for his concert. He was quietly accomo-
dating, making one feel that he was the
host rather than the guest. His con-
versation could turn on any point, and
even the weather came in for a share of
discussion. With enthusiasm he spoke
of his home and his work at the Curtis
Institute of Music, and a recent con-
cert in Carnegie hall, for the benefit
of flood sufferers, where he appeared
with eleven other artists and where
boxes sold for $250.

New Gas Plates Placed
In Home Ec. Department

The Home Economics department last
week replaced several pieces of worn
out electrical equipment with new gas
hot plates. Two pairs of hot plates
already have been installed in the
kitchen, and two more pairs will be
secured soon.

In an adjoining room a small gas
kitchen range has been set up. "The
new apparatus," said Miss Gertrude E.
Meiselwitz, "is to give the women an
opportunity to cook while using a fuel
other than electricity."

HOW MANY APPLES?

The New York State college of Agri-
culture says that it is estimated that a
full grown apple tree has about 50,000
leaves on it.

To pen the ridiculous after a week
long to be remembered for the ex-
perience of thrilling to the vibrant
beauty of Josef Hofmann's music is a
difficult task . . . We'd rather turn
these lines to a philosophical chat on
the awareness of beauty that we all
possess but few acknowledge . . . Too
few of us take time to look at our
mountains, to enjoy the smell of damp
earth after rain, to run in the face of
a strong spring wind, to hear the song
of a meadowlark . . . The writer runs
the risk of sadly shaking heads over
his sentimental musings . . It's a good
idea to leave things once in a while,
though, and simply feel qualities . . .
Nor is it effeminate. . . .

A difficult time had we in Y. M. C. A.
Sunday afternoon trying to make
foreign-born trackman Talmage under-
stand the meaning in the line from a
well-known hymn, "Someone far from
harbor you may guide across the bar"
. . . Seems that brother Talmage's idea
of "bar" is limited to a single definition
. . . Great country, this Korea . . .

A whisper from the demure secretary

serious Overly-complex on the part of

The adoring young lady seems to think

hero, Spencer Tracy . . We won't
say But we feel justified in our

differing from Lincoln Johnson's idea
that he could do as well, if not better,
than Robert Taylor, given the time, the
place, etc. . . . With that new blazer
of his, though, there's no telling . . .

Thoroughly subdued by the flow of
praise for our last column by ad- 1
mirers who know well we had no part '
in it, we release the identity of little
Susie ... 'Twas none other than the I
amplelarynxed 'opkinsville orator I
whose nefarious advertisement for a
date was of no evident avail . . .
Seemed to us that W. P. W. and room-
mate became rather confused as to
whether Hofmann was Hofmann or
what was who anyhow in their herding
of ardent autograph seekers Tuesday
night . . .

Pondering over the statement by Dr.

we got to thinking about Clayton Marx

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 27, 1937

With a Columbusy feeling and a subdued whistling of "Balboa", we must
admit we've discovered something. In short, we sneaked up on, that well-known
mentor of Scot athletics, one L. S. Honaker, the other day, and found him
strolling around with bat in hand and that dreamy, faraway look on his face.
Yeah, man! It's baseball time again!

And, believe me, "there's something in the air"— that under current of
good old spirit marking time for the opening curtain of Highlander diaman-
detring for 1987. It promises to be a great year, with surprises in store for
everyone. Orchids to the baseballers!

And so we wave a fond good-bye to the hoop-and-sphere sport— a
season perhaps of disappintment which saw the Scots bow twice to Frosty
Holt's Eagles of Carson-Newman. It might have been different. Championships,
though, are made to change hands. The Scots are not down, however. May
we assure Frosty and the Eaglets that we'll be out to contest that supremacy
about this time next year.

The one fly in next year's hardwood ointment will be the absence of lanky
pivoter Lee Hannah. This high-scoring tip-man has been a bulwark for the
Highlanders during the past four years. The best thing we can think to say
of him is— well all miss him.

May the, spirits of sports columnist condemn us! Last week, we cited
ttne bunch of Scottfe matmen as State cliamps, and they" come a one" of
letting us down. Notice lie gray hairs. But, by virture of a win and a tie over
the Tennessee Vols, the Scotties stand supreme, and another silver star slides
into place behind the name of Coach Bob Thrower. Coach Bob and the boys
perform the last act versus Davidson next week, then the final curtain will
slide over another group of Scottie champions. More orchids, florist!

And, while the fragile beauties of the floral kingdom are being ladled
out, one matman Montgomery comes to mind. Bouncing up out of the secondary
ranks. Monty breezed through all apposition in a style worthy to behold. At
present occupying the injured ranks with a broken hand, Monty bids fair to
be quite a name in the mat sport

And never should we forget footballer Fred Tulloch, who after grinding
through an unheralded season on the gridiron, changed his background to the
rasslin' mat and again came through. Cracked rib kept him backstage for a
while, but he's been out to show his steel since then. Congrats, Fred!

Women Swimmers
Prepare For Meet

Three Teams Practicing
In YMCA Pool

An interclass swimming meet for
girls to be held in the latter part of
March has been planned by Mr. George
Fischbach, instructor in swimming.
Three teanw, freshman, sophsmore, and
a combined one of juniors and seniors,
are now practicing.

Many good swimmers have respond-
ed to the call, and the girls are all very
intersted in this new plan.

Mary Knihloe is in charge of the
junior-senior group. The sophomores
are headed by "Virginia Road who per-
formed in the water carnival and who
is an- assistant in one of the swimming
classes. Linda Iddins, who was also in
the carnival, leads the freshman team.

It is not too late for girls to enter
this interclass swimming meet. Any-
one who is interested is urged to go out
for tit.

The junior-senior speedball team
won its second victory on Tuesday
afternoon when it defeated the fresh-
man team, by a score of 4-3. On Thurs-
day night at a game preliminary to the
Tusculum-Maryville game the sopho-
more and freshman teams played to a
5-5 tie.

In both the games the teams were
evenly matched. The sophomore-fresh-
man game was a race to the finish,
first one side scoring then the other.

The junior-senior team with its cap-
tain, Mary Elizabeth Lyons, has now
won both its games. There are still
three more games to be played in the
tournament, and so as yet the cham-
pionship can not be determined.

The freshman team is captained by
Margaret Huff who has been prevented
from playing by a severe cold. Esther
Sommers leads the sophomore nine.
The games have been refereed by
Martha Watson who is in charge of
the point system classes.

Jane Corey, sophomore, who was in-
jured in the first game against the
junior-seniors was on the floor again

Mary ville Loses Game 35-33

In Last Two

Minutes

Field goals by Hudson and Roberts
and a foul shot by Hamblin in the last
three minutes of play enabled the Car-
son-Newman Eagles to pull from be-
hind a 33-30 hole and give them a
35 to 33 victory over Maryville College,
and the undisputed Smoky Mountain
Conference basketball championship.

The 'blood* battle was a seesaw affair
throughout. Carson-Newman took the
lead from the outset when Stafford led
off with a goal in the first five seconds.
And after the Eagles had run their
advantage to 14 to 11 and later to 23 to
13, the Scotties began perking up.

Lee Hannah and McGill started hit-
ting the hoop for the Scotties and they
pulled up even with the Eagles and
then took a three point lead just a few
minutes before the game ended. It was
here that the winning goals were tossed
in by Hudson, Roberts and Hamblin.

Even though beaten, the Scotties, who
were Champions last year, will wind
up in second place behind the Eagles.

Teams Play Listlessly In

Tusculum college, the last SMC cage
team to appear here this season, went
down before MaryvilleV Scots Thurs-
day night by a 46-33 count.

Playing listlessly, the Highlanders
were held to a 19-15 lead at halftime,
but came back in the last period with
a 26 point clinching act.

Davis, stocky Tusculum forward,
troubled the Maryville hoopsters con-
siderably, leading the scoring with 13
points. Lee Hannah followed closely
with 12.

It was Maryville's fifteenth victory
in eighteen games this year, and their
tenth conference win in a twelve game
loop schedule.

Tilt For Scots

The 1937 edition of the Maryville
college basketball team wound up a
fairly successful season by losing a
hotly contested game to the Emory and
Henry Wasps 40-38 in the Alumni
gymnasium last evening.

The game was played on even terms
all the way through with the High-
landers holding the edge on their op-
ponents most of the time. Since the
last game with the Wasps, played
earlier in the season, in which the
Emory team completely outclassed the
Scotties, the defense of the Maryville
team has highly improved and it was
on par, last night, with the fine de-
fense of the Virginia team.

Hannah Completes Captaincy

Lee Hannah, ace center, completed
his year as captain with a fine per-
player on the floor, and he was high
formance. He was easily the outstanding
point man with 14 tallies. Stanley and
Overly also showed up very well, both
scoring eight points.

For Emory and Henry Garnand, with
twelve points, and Rickman, with
eleven, were high scorers. The Mary-
ville team was able to hold Akard,
freshman Wasp guard and high-point
man in the previous game, to only
four markers.

Highlanders Lead At Half

The Highlanders led at the half,
19-13. Putting the finishing touch on
the season last evening, the Scotties,
runners-up in the Smoky Mountain
conference race, have won 14 games
this year and lost only four, all of
them to Carson-Newman and Emory
and Henry.

Loss of Elbert Montgomery

Handicaps Scots For

Meet Monday

A broken hand, received in the Tenr
nessee meet Tuesday by Elbert Mont-
gomery, virtually put an end to Mary-
ville's hopes of remaining undefeated
when Davidson's wrestling Wildcats
come here for a meet Monday night.

Montgomery, 135-pounder who has
man-handled every foe sent against
him this year, and one of the few Mary-
ville men conceded an even chance to
win rfom the strong Carolina team, is
lost to the Scots for the rest of the
season.

Davidson Last Opponent

In Davidson, their seventh and last
opponent of the 1936 campaign, the
Throwermen will run against a team
which is by far the strongest on the
schedule. The Wildcats trounced the
North Carolina State team 16 to 1? in
their last start and will be heavy favo-
rites to repeat last year's 18-8 victory
over the Scots.

The outstanding men on the Davidson
team are Baker, 145-lb. man who has
lost only one match this year; Fort,
155 pounder who is expected to put
on a good show with Guy Propst, Mary-
ville's ace; and McFayden, 'who,
although he weighs less than ISO, is
undefeated in the heavyweight clrtss.. .

Last Wednesday evening the Mary-

the second time this season to a superior
Knoxviile Y. M. C. A. team, 57-26, in

FITS AjYD FIZZLES

By FRED RHOD¥
LOST— between three and five o'clock,
Wednesday, Carnegie hall: one sock,
orange striped with green!

RAPE OF THE SOCK

Canto I
Appollo many fairy nymphs employs,
To guard sox-appeal of college boys.
A gart'r unmoored from calf it should

have spann'd? —
Apollo's nymph appears with rubber

band.
Wear- parted wool reveals the pink-
tipped toes? —
Apollo's nymph darns up th' offend-

hose.
The week- worn sock droops over heel

and sole? —
A nymph with laundered ones is in

control.
The nymphs are keepers, too, of bureau

drawers;
They guard the extra socks of sopho-
mores.
The other boys have sense enough their

own —
And thus they can protect their socks

alone;
But sophs have reached a puzzling

time of life;
To "bear it all" they need a nymph or

wife.

Canto II
On Wednesday last a solitary sock,
A hare-brained soph left draped behind

a clock.
By the sleepy nymph on duty 't was

not seen —
This somber sock of orange striped

with green.
Deep Trouble enters as it always will,
When Woman puts her foot across the

sill.
(Foi, on that day the girls from far and

wide
Said, "Here's Carnegie; let's see what's

ilnside!")
Thus, Open House kept all nymphs

c ccupied —
The sock behind the clock remained

unspied.

Canto IH
A miid with visions of a souvenir,
Enteired the room and to the clock drew

near.
Time-kpieces such as this she oft had

WD,
But n ;ver sock of orange striped with

gr een.
An envied treasure for her room 't

wd)uld be,
Could she but filoh it from the place

arid flee.
Brain, nerve, and muscle answered to

thought's knock —
The Thing was pilfered from behind the

4lock.
And then— the door— the hall— the

stairs — escape!
Apollo's nymphs knew nothing of the
rape.

Canto On-Much-Longer
The stolen sock was hung in gaudy

splendor,
By the thief beside her open winder.
(A sock once drawn upon a soph'more's

foot,
Must always in an airy place be put.)
Then by a violent gust of wind torn

free,
Th? stripe-ed sock found rest in yon

spruce tree.
And to this day each breeze the sock

unfurls—
Warns mankind of unscrup'lousness of

girls.
And all because a maid, by nymphs un-
seen,
■ Civ ■ ' ick of orange striped

ECHOES OF THE PAST

February 27, 1917

The high water mark in the history
of the music department has been
reached this course, with 135 pupils
registered for piano, and six teachers
being employed in the teaching of this
one branch of music. Including voice
and violin, there is an enrolment of
189 pupils.

We see no reason, with such a foun-
dation, why a special music building
should not in the near future be erected

on the college campus.

Last Friday and Saturday the eleven-
th annual meeting of the Tennessee
Philological association was held on the
Hill. H. J. Bassett, head of the Latin
department of Maryville college, was

elected president.

The Maryville college basketball
team closed one of the most successful
seasons in the history of the college to-
day when it defeated Tusculum, 25-19.
So far the Varsity has not lost a single
game in which the regular varsity line-
up was used.

On Monday evening at 8 o'clock in
Voorhees chapel, the last regular
lyceum program of the season will be
given. The Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. take
pleasure in announcing that the con-
cluding number of the series is to be
presented by the Vernon Concert en-
semble.

This is a company of excellent musi-
cians featuring solo and ensemble in-
strumental numbers, with a few vocal
selections to add even more variety to
the program,

Students will welcome the announce-
ment of the YMCA and YWCA asso-

this year. There will also be an "unde-
cided" group to which students may go
for general advice and counsel which

will aid them in a choice of their work.

The Athenian program this Saturday
night is the one big program of the
year — the French Oratorical contest.
Six speakers will compete for the
French medal, a reward given annually
to the best Athenian orator.

Some very interesting results were
obtained from the survey of the in-
terests of our student body as taken by
the YMCA last Saturday in chapel.
Among those questions that received
the greatest number of votes were:
relations between men and women;
how a Christian is different; does the
campus give a fair chance to all; and
how far are we responsible for other
students. ''

The social committee will sponsor its
fourth community sing this evening
at eight o'clock in Voorhees chapel, to
be followed by light refreshments in
the three women's dormitories.

John Magill, leader of the sings, has
announced a varied and interesting
program. Among the feature numbers
will be tap dancing by Irma Souder,
and dual piano numbers by Louise
Felknor and Patricia Kennedy. Group
singing will consist of old songs, fun
songs, popular songs, and rounds.

From nine to ten-thirty the women
will entertain in the parlors of the
dormitories, where refreshments will
be served.

Joan Dexter, chairman of the social
committee, has appointed sub-com-

lost theirs.

Reversing the situation here, Helen
Maguire and Mary Frances Ooten,
affirmative team, were defeated by
Tusculum; Curtmarie Brown and Etta

their decision.

Professor M. P. Morehouse, of Knox
college, gave critic decisions at both

Stadlemann To Read

The Bainonian program tonight will
display some of the society's own
talent. Dorothea SUdlemann will read
"Fourteen," by Gerstenburg. A flute
solo by Nina Husk, and singing by
Lillian Borgquiat will compete the pro-
gram.

The physics department has recently
received an oscilloscope as an addition
to its sound equipment.

The instrument makes visible the
various conditions of a sound wave,
such as amplitude, wave length, and
interference. Fundamentals and over-
tones are recorded, as well as stationary
waves. The oscilloscope also makes
visible the 60 cycles of a 110-volt light
current.

The sound enters a microphone, and
the reflection of the wave is seen on a
revolving mirror, through a glass win-
dow which is divided into quarter-inch
squares so that amplitude and wave
length may be more easily recorded.

contest at the South Atlantic Forensic
tournament being held this week at
Rock Hill, South Carolina.

In a telephone message last night,
Verton M. Queener, coach of the debate
teams, reported the wins for his
speakers.

Proffitt Places Twice

First place in women's oratory was
taken by Louise Proffitt, freshman, by
her oration, 'Personality." She also
took second place in the women's ex-
tempore speech contest.

Mary Frances Ooten, senior addition
to this year's forensic squad, was
awarded first place in women's after-
dinner speaking. Third place in men's
oratory was taken by Donald Hallam,
veteran debater, with his "I, Tony
Lazzero."

Debate Reports Not In

No reports have as yet been received
from the debating and improtnptu
speaking contests.

The teams practiced every day for
a week before their departure, and Mr.
Queener was with them until 10 p. m.,
Wednesday. They left at 4 a. m., Thurs-
day, and will return late tonight.
New Approach Taken

Maryville has been experimenting
with an approach to the national Pi
Kappa Delta question for 1937 different
from the social and economic approach
which other teams have been using.
Assuming the need for legislation,
Maryville teams debate the means for
obtaining it. The question is, "Resolved:
That Congress should be empowered to
fix minimum wages and maximum
hours for industry."

A Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, team
will return with the Maryville de-
baters, to engage in an extemporaneous
debate in the Philosophy classroom
Monday evening.

Fred Hope Fund

Here Next Week

Missionary to Africa Will

Lead in Special

Services

Dr. Fred Hope, Maryville's repre-
sentative in the African mission field,
will speak in chapel March 10 and 11,
in the interest of the annual drive for
the Fred Hope fund, conducted for
many years by the College. Dr. Hope
will speak also on Wednesday evening,
when he will show a moving
picture of the mission work in Came-
roon.

The Fred Hope fund drive is the
only function of the college conducted
each year with the view of obtaining
money. The drive is on a voluntary
oasis, with students giving or pledging
to give as much or as little as they
desire. The money collected is turned
over to Dr. Hope to be used for things
most needed in the West African
Cameroon mission field. In the past,
large sums have been pledged, rang-
ing from five hundred to fourteen
hundred dollars. Last year, over seven
hundred dollars was pledged by stu-
dents and faculty members.

Dr. Hope, An Alumnus

Dr. Hope was graduated from Mary-
ville in 1906, having come to the col-
lege from Illinois. While a student, he
was looked upon as one of the out-
standing members of the student body,
and was a leader in the Y. M. C. A.
He had numerous offers for positions
with large business groups, but chose
to enter the mission field as a layman.
He was placed in charge of the indus-
trial school at Elat, where he has been
for a number of years. A few years ago

By J. T. HUNT

Miss Mary Ellen Caldwell was Mary-
ville college's first dean of women, and
until her retirement last spring, the
only one it has ever had. Her request
to be permitted to retire as soon as a
successor could be secured was granted
by the abactors of the College at their
spring meeting.

Entering the preparatory department
of Maryville college in 1881, Miss Molly,
as she is known to thousands of gra-
duates and former students, continued
her work in the College and was gradu-
ated in 1891 in a class of fourteen.

Since there were no high schools in
Maryville at this time, and since ad-
vanced work was necessary for en-
trance, Maryville college had a pre-
paratory school. Of the three hundred
students in 1891, about two-thirds of
them were in this department.

Close chaperonage and strict rules

After receiving her B. A. degree, Miss
Molly served one year as principal of
the Maryville city school, and then re-
turned to the College to be an in-
structor of Latin and mathematics in
the preparatory department for a year.
For the following four years she was
matron of Baldwin hall.

Miss Molly next went to the Hunts-
ville (Tennessee) academy, where for
seven years she was principal. But her
desire to be near "her girls" brought
her back to Maryville, and she served
for nine years more as matron of Bald-
win, and then for twenty-three years
as dean of women (now called super-
visor of women's residences) and head
of Pearsons hall.

Through her contact with nine col-
lege generations of young people, Miss
Molly received a deep insight into the
problems, and needless to say, the
ways of college youth.

Previous to her retirement, Miss
Molly had the distinction of being the
senior member of the faculty and staff
of Maryville college, having beep, for

At the meeting of the senior class on
Wednesday morning several matters of
importance were brought to the atten-
tion of the class by the president, Dave
Brittain.

A matter already known to most
members of the senior class is the re-
duction by half of class dues. Formerly
$8.00, they will be only $4.00 from now
on if everyone cooperates in payment
of them. All those who have not as yet
paid their dues are urged to see Bill
Morgan, class treasurer, within the
next few days and make arrangements
with him for payment.

Since the meeting Wednesday morn-
ing, one change has been made in the
plans concerning the May Queen elec-
tion as announced. Instead of the
original plan of having each nomination
for May Queen accompanied by the
signature of ten seniors, one person
may submit a nomination with only
his own signature. Any senior may
make a nomination, but no one may
submit more than one name.

Maxwell Anderson
Drama is Chosen
For Senior Play

"Mary of Scotland" has been selected
for this year's senior play to be given
June 5, during the commencement sea-
son. Maxwell Anderson, Pulitzer prize
winning author of the play, has also
written "What Price Glory?" and
"Elizabeth the Queen."

"Mary of Scotland" came to Knox-
ville last year while touring the
country, with Helen Hayes playing the
lead. Frederick March and Katherine
Hepburn have played leading roles in
the motion picture version of the
same play.

Mrs. Nita Eckles West, who will
coach the production, has announced
that tryouts will be held and staff ap-
pointed some time during the next two
weeks.

Hussey, Collins Read
Two Research Theses
At Language Meetings

Reading research theses at two meet-
ings in the state during the early part
of the year, Dr. George B. Hussey,
former professor in the department of
Foreign languages at Maryville and
now a resident of Maryville, and Ralph
S. Collins, present associate professor
in French and German, presented the
results of their recent work.

Dr. Hussey's paper, read at the Uni-
versity of Tennessee January 12, was
entitled, "Defense of Some Readings
of Plato's Statesman in Two Manu-
scripts. Professor Collins thesis was
entitled, "Conception of the Artist as
it Occurs in Hauptmann's Dramas."
Both professors will journey to Mem-
phis during the early part of March to
read their papers before the state
meeting of the language association.

collaboration, was under the direction
of R. D'Oyly Carte, whose company,

ances in America within the last year.

Students Tell Horrors
Of Chemical Warfare
At Last Peace Forum

Two student speakers appeared on
the program of the Peace forum held
February 26 in Dr. J. H. McMurray's
classroom.

Walter West, the first speaker, gave
an account of the horrors of chemical
warfare, dwelling with particular em-
phasis on liquid fire which played an
important part in the last war. Louise
Orr then reviewed a magazine article
refuting one of the most prevalent of
war-scare delusions — the use of bac-
teria in combat.

The meeting was as usual in charge
of Ray Nelson, chairman.

SHARED
RESPONSIBILITY

A more orderly and business-like class meeting than
that witnessed in Voorhees chapel Wednesday morning
we have yet to see at Maryville. Which all goes to prove
that respect can be induced for leaders who know how to
fead.

It would seem that to the demands made by the senior
class officials no response could be made other than com-
plete cooperation. The straight thinking and clear-cut
reason to the plans worked out, and the fact that we all
would share their benefits should produce in every senior
the desire and will to do his part.

There is no reason why half of the senior class mem-
bership should support the parasitic other half. Sharing
the burdens as well as the benefits of individual represen-
tation in the annual is a common responsibility, as is also
participation in a clean, fairly-conducted election of the
May Queen. ,.

Let's get behind that program, and Boost!

SPARKS,
BUT NO FIRE

, , Up to the present time the. sparks struck by our
editorial proposal of a reduced number of midwinters have
not produced fire. That the idea has met a responsive note
in the minds of a few campus leaders is evident; but there
remains the problem of arousing .interest sufficient to
cause someone to "do something about it."

, { An unbiased', survey of the past midwinter season
would surely reveal mat two ojf <he, productions w^ere
entirely superfluous, if Consideration It marie"', of contrir-

knowledge that the other play definitely produced ^deficit
on the books of a society which was not prepared to bear
a loss.

Of the two worthwhile presentations on the Voorhees
stage, neither was what could be called a howling financial
success. If, however, resources exhausted on the other
plays had been available to aid, the results would have
been much more satisfactory than they were.

We all object when we are treated with methods
adaptable to high school administration. Yet, at least one
of this year's midwinter series, and more than one of the
plays of previous years, has been presented by high school
talent all over the country. We should make progress in
our attempts, even though our abilities may seem to fall
short at times.

Here's something for the coming Maryville genera-
tion to ponder upon, and to act upon, when we old-fogey,
conservative seniors have departed. Otherwise, there will
be the same regrets next year that we are now experienc-
ing.

CAMPUS CALENDAR

/|T he Mountain and the Plain is the most significant
*■' fictional work based on the French Revolution that
has appeared in the last several years. Written by Herbert
Gorman, distinguished American scholar, novelist, and
critic, it gives evidence of the most detailed and pain-
staking research. With a reputation for sympathetic ap-
proach to French character already established by his
previously published work on Alexandre Dumas, Mr.
Gorman has added considerably to its luster with his latest
work

77! o one only superficially acquainted with French
T* letters, Mi. Gorman seems to stand in quite apparent
indebtedness to Victor Hugo. His approach to almost any
given situation, his development of the compact dramatic
unit, even such formal factors as the division of the work
into books, chapters, and sections, are all reminiscent of
Les Miserables. Some few frequently recurring devices
might give rise to the suspicion that Mr. Gorman has been
so unwise as to even attempt an imitation of his style —
•but it is at best only an attempt, lacking as it does the
forceful simplicity characteristic of Hugo even in trans-
lation, and exhibiting a too-frequent tendency toward a
conscious striving for striking effects, resulting in a kind
of veneer of originality— -shiny but artificial.
9|f ne commendable feature of Mr. Gorman's approach is
™ that it has resulted in an historical as well as a dra-
matic whole. It might almost be said that the characters
form a background for the revolution, so vital is it to the
idea of the story; at least, they are brought into a highly
successful harmony unusual in historical novels.
/|ftf course, the inevitable love interest is superimposed
™ upon the sweeping pageant of the revolution, with a
touch of the even more inevitable triangle, developed,
however, with due restraint and good taste in no way
detrimental to the dignity of the predominating theme.
Probably Mr. Gorman's most interesting structural device
is his casting of an American, David Livingstone, in the
leading role. Although he does not actually narrate the
story, one cannot help but notice that both David Living-
stone and Mr. Gorman are decidedly outsiders looking on
at one of the most consequential political upheavals in
history. Thus any observations or attitudes not strictly
Gallic are justified.

Another feature not quite so commendable is the open-
ing section, or "thematic overture," a take-off on musi-
cal form, for the introduction of characters. The reader is
abruptly collared and alternately picked up and set down
all over the map of France, in a manner highly distressing
to the sedentary. It almost appears that the thematic over-
ture might have been written at the last in an ineffectual
attempt to achieve an unnecessary additional unity— the
dramatic symmetry of the French revolution does that
automatically.

4| "n spite of the" fact that the author's knowledge of the
<• French is mores than sufficient for the development of
satisfactory Frenchmen, his best character is an, American,
Thomas Paine, whose stentorian rhetorical outbursts are
the most convincing speeches in the book. All the portraits
are drawn with care, but in his , historical > figures Mr.
Gorman shows, an, especially happy faculty for obtaining
something more than a name and a few quotations from
history.

Several Accompany Faculty
To Johnson City

Driving to . East Tennessee Teachers
college at Johnson city yesterday, Dr.
David H. Briggs, head of the depart-
ment of education, , took several stu-
dents and faculty members to the ses-
sions of the Progressive Education asso-
ciation conference now being held
there. ,

Accompanying Dr. Briggs were Miss
Mary M. Keller and Dr. Newell T.
Preston, faculty members in the de-
partment, and Abby Higgins and
Mayme Carol Ludeman, majors in
education.

The meetings, held March 4, 5, and
6, are those of the southeastern section
of the association and are the first to
be held in Tennessee. More than a
thousand high school and college
teachers, as well as grammar school in-
structors, are expected to attend.

Among the speakers will be Dr. G.
A. Alexander of Columbia university,
Dr. Doak S. Campbell of Peabody col-
lege, Nashville, and Dr. G. M. Bass,
new state superintendent of instruction.

The group returned to Maryville last
night.

OF ALPHA SIGMA

Alpha Sigma was organized in March, 1882, by nine
men who "came to the conclusion that a new organization
was essential to the welfare and success of the college."
John Grant Newman, now a pastor in Philadelphia, and at
one time a member of the Maryville faculty, was elected
president. The first critic was D. A. Heron, father of Miss
Jessie S. Heron, member of the College English depart-
ment.

The authorities gave the men permission to use as
a meeting place the room on the third floor of Anderson
hall which they still occupy. It had formerly been the
headquarters of the Animi Cultus society, which had died
a natural death. That group left to the organization one
piece of furniture, an old desk, and an unlighted room
so that the election of the first officers had to take place
during the day. They also passed on to the new organiza-
tion the heritage of the noble aims which their name ex-
pressed.

Fresh Section
^ffi'Zl Annual
Exceeds Record

Exceeding by fifty percent that of
any previous yearbook, the freshman
section of the 1937 Chilhowean was
sent to the printer this week by the
staff, completing final details of the
annual.

Simpson Spencer, editor, with
Roberta Enloe and Henry Swain, staff
members, have prepared for the en-
graver and publisher this week more
than fifty cuts and sixty pages of manu-
script. With the presentation of the
final midwinter, the large two-page
photomontage of all four midwinter
plays has been designed and sent to
the engraver.

Since only a few clubs and part of
the Fine Arts section are incomplete,
the staff expects to complete all manu-
script and photographic copy within
the next few days.

Because of a week's delay, for various
uncontrollable causes, the new year-
book will probably not appear until
May 10.

Due to the rapid sale of the book the
business manager, John C. Mclntyre,
has announced a probable raise in
price on the final fifty books some time
this month.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

■ The final cui-Uur swished on the 1S37 wrestling season last Monday
evening, closing a little late to find the Scots still in the all-win column. One
loss out of an entire season, however, is nothing to shed tears over, especially
when that loss rlB""'""1 a most successful season for the Highlander matmen.
Coach Thrower has pulled some rabbits out of bis hat before, but never has
he developed such a successful team from the substitute ranks. We refer, in
part, to grunters Stevens, Montgomery, Scull, Gillespie, Jenkins, and Judy.

And a sub-note to put the fiaal touch: one wrestler Gillespie in said
meet with Davidson scored his first fall in three years Of faithful wrestling. We
are as proud of that letter as Gillespie is, and we hope he'll let us wear it some

time- I IV VV i*. .•M.t.i

WANTED: TRACKMEN

■i" M it r» :. i . .. ■

Along with our celebrated adversary, Yorkk, we wish to express a
weekly gripe in terms of no mean gentleness. In other .words, Coach Thrower
ane we arc mighty riled over tike fact that there is •<B»ficeable lack of track-
men out for first practices. Running is not a new sport, nor is it exclusive.
People have run ever since the day when a little feller first saw a big ' un,
provided the big'un had a soar look on his face. Merely 1» transfer the running
from nowhere in particular to a cinder oval, with hurdles to go over instead
of fences, is not the most difficult task in the world. It dosn't take champion-
ship form to come out for track, so Coach Thrower ana we want to see more
men out there this week. That's final!

ALL-CONFERENCE SCRAMBLE

Comes now the time for all "good men to come to the aid of their
basketballers. To put it simply, an all-conference quintet will probably be
selected in the near future. In guessing as to who will fill pivot position on that
particular five, we refer you to one Lee Hannah, high-scoring pivoter for the
Scotties, who has completed the fourth in a series of successful years under
the mentorship of Coach L. S. Honaker. Hannah has carved himself a niche in
the hardwood court that can only be fully recognized by naming him again to
this mythical quintet. For all -conference center, then, our vote goes to Lee
Hannah!

Swimmers Edged
Out In Thriller
By Auburn, 43-41

Wicklund Smashes 200-yd

Mark; Meeks Sets New

Time In Breast Stroke

In one of the most bitterly contest-
ed and thrilling swimming meets of the
current season the Auburn aquatic
stars eked out a 43 to- 41 victory, pver
a tenacious and hard swimming Scotty
team in the college pool Wednesday
night. The strong Southeastern confer-
ence team led most of the way but a
strong comeback in the diving and 200
yd. dash in which the Scotties copped
two firsts and two seconds to give
them a slight lead of one point almost
spelled defeat for the Auburn Plains-
men.' With the result of the me'et hing-
ing on the last event, 190 yd medley,
the Auburnites came through with i
closer vieforyVtb win the nfcet. i ' '.

Two records were broken as the
amazing "Busty" Wicklund bettered
the 200 yd dash record with the time
of 2:31.3. This record was formerly
held, by Lowe. Reliable "Willy" Meeks
broke the record in his own specialty,
the breast stroke, when he hung up the
time of 1:18.8.. The marked improve-
ment of Chandler in the diving de-
partment was one of the outstanding
features of the meet as he took first
place.

Summary of the meet:

200 yd. Relay— Conner, Forbes, Kit-
chell, Keenstead (A); McEnteer, Hfl-
ditch, Lowe, Wicklund (M). Time 1:51.

100 yd Breast— Meeks (M), Wood-
ard (A), Reinow (A). Time 1:18.8.

100 yd Back— Griswold (A), McCue
(A), Clemmer (M)..Time 1:19.7.

Wrestlers Lose Hopes For

Perfect Year In Last

Meet of Season

The Maryville grapplers let slip an
opportunity for an undefeated record
Monday night when they dropped a
15-11 meet to the Davidson Wildcats in
the season's finale.

It was the Scots' first setback in a
seven-meet schedule, during which
they won five, tied one, and lost one,
while retaining their state crown.

Davidson proved to be the best team
the Scotties have faced this year. After
getting away to a slow start, during
which Maryville grabbed an 8-3 lead,
the Carolinians came back strong to
take four of the last five battles.
Although all of the scraps were close,
Guy Propst, out-weighed ten pounds
by his 165-lb foe, was the only Mary-
ville man to show any superiority in
the heavier classes. The other two wins
were turned in by Omer Judy and Bob
Gillespie in the 135 and 126 pound
divisions. Gillespie's fall over Lowrance
was the only one made by either side.
Judy, making his debut as grunt artist,
was impressive in disposing of Craver
to give the Scots an unexpected and
sorely needed three points.

Classes for women in both junior

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 6, 1937

Trackmen Begin
Practice With 23
Hopefuls on Deck

Starting Squad Is Compara-
tively Small For Open-
ing Sessions

Twenty-three men were present for
the initial practice of the Maryville
college track team Thursday. This num-
ber is short of the expectations of
Coach Robert C. Thrower since in the
past, there have been thirty-five or
forty men out. However, Thrower be-
lieves there will be an addition the
first of next week. .

Propst and Tulloch, members of the
wrestling team, have not been present
at the regular practices but shall ex-
pect to attend Monday.

Maryville usually has a very good
track team being surpassed in the
state of Tennessee only by the Uni-
versity of Tennessee. The hope or
ability for the team to win is in the
hands of new men since only five
lettermen return. Those are: Talmage,
Baird, Savitski, Propst, and Dowell.

Track schedule is as follows:

April 10— University of Tennessee—
Knoxville.

April 16 — Lincoln Memorial Univer-
sity— Harrogate.

April 24— Davidson, N. C— here.

April 30— Chattanooga University—
here.

was given in 1931.

Out field is Largest Obstacle

In Way of Baseball Victory

Coach Honaker Prophecies Excellent Season In Diamond

Sport If Outer Garden Players Are Developed;

Pitching Staff Strong

Coach L. S. Honaker, who has been
leading his 1937 Scot baseball aspirants
thru their paces this week, had little
to say yesterday in regard to the per-
sonnel of this year's team.

"I don't know who'll play," he said.
"We have a whole infield and a few
catchers and pitchers back, but the
outfield will be filled by new men."

And so it seems that the outer gar-
den sector will cause most of the
worry, at least for a while, this season.
The Scotties lost a complete outfield
in Walt Coker, Wilbur Loessburg, and
Big Jim Holloway, who graduated last
spring. Besides the gap left by these
boys in the field, their hitting, a big
part of the Highlander fireworks in
1936, will be missed. As it looks now,
the vacant posts will be filled by Bill
Swearingen, Chuck Kindred, and pro-
bably Al Burris, who is also lined up
with Glen Evers as a member of the
catching staff.

The absence of Ralph Hand from the

present squad leaves only two letter-
men back to form the backbone of the
pitching staff. Ralph Ashby and Rip
Collins, who saw plenty of mound
action last year, will be depended on
for most of the slab work, along with
Don Parker and freshman Nig Wilbum.
Among the other pitching prospects^
Copeland and Amos, freshmen, have,
looked best in practice so far. .4 j.

The Scots seem to be pretty Well fix-
ed in the infield, with Gus Hernandez,
on first, Don Cross at second, Junior
Odell at short, and "Toots" Blazer hold-
ing down the hot corner. Hernandez,
the only newcomer' in this group, fills
the place held last season by Holloway
and Evers. The utility post will likely
be awarded to Black, who played at
Hiwassee last spring.

There are several others out for prac-
tice who may blossom into first-string
material before the Scots hit Ohio Uni-
versity on April 1, but those mentioned
seem to have the inside track so far.

(Continued from page one)
however, by the presence of Katisha, a
sour old maid who insists on marrying
Nanki-Pooh, and Ko-Ko, Lord high
executioner, who is already affianced
to Yum-Yum. The difficulties are ob-
vious and the solution delightful.

The role of Nanki-Pooh is being sung
by Dick Woodring, while the part of
his royal girl-friend is taken by Nancy
Quinn. The elderly Katisha is sung
by Harriet Barber, while Ko-Ko, the
Lord high executioner, is Bill Karukas.
Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else,
George Brown; Pish- Tush, a noble lord,
Edward Goddard; and the Mikado of
Japan, Evan Renne, are among the
other important supporting roles.
Marian Huddleston is singing the part
of Peep-Bo, one of Yum-Yum's sisters,
while Mildred Erlingheuser was
originally cast in the role of the older
sister, Pitti-Sing. Miss Ruth Wood
substituted in the role of Pitti-Sing
while Miss Erlingheuser was confined
in the college infirmary- Miss Erlingh-
euser has returned to the cast, however.
Supplementing the soloists will be a
35-piece orchestra and a chorus of
75 voices. The production is being
elaborately staged, with some of the
costumes rented and others especially |
made by the College Maid shop.

The infrequency of good operetta
performances in this section makes the
Maryville presentation of wide-spread

interest, and tickets are on sale in

town and in Knoxville.

ALPHA SIGMA

' (Continued from page two)

The list of Alpha Sigma alumni
is a distinguished one. Dr. Ralph
Lloyd is a past president of the
society; Homer Hammontree, famed
gospel singer, was once a member
of the society quartet; and the
proctor of Carnegie hall, Mr. E. E.
McCurry, is a member of the club.

Alpha Sigma has been extra-
ordinarily active in the social life
on the Hill. The orchestra which
one of its members, Bill Downes,
organized last year has added much
to the entertainment of various
functions as the Alpha Sigma
orchestra. Don Hallam, former
chairman of the social committee,
was first semester president of the
society, and his work on that com-
mittee is being carried on by his
brother Alpha Sigs in cooperation
with representatives of the other
societies.

! SENIOR CLASS

(Continued from page one)
All nominations must be in the hands
of one of the senior class officers by
Ma-ch 14. From March 16 until March
18 names of all nominees will be
posted on the bulletin boards of Pear-
sons and Carnegie halls. The plan for
election follows: On March 18, ballots
will be distributed in. chapel for a
primary election, with the direction that
each person shall vote for two nomi-
nees. The names of the two girls re-
ceiving the largest number of votes
will be submitted next on March 20,
when ballots will again be distributed
in chapel for the final election, with
the understanding that each person
shall vote for one nominee. Notices
will be posted on the bulletin boards
from time to tune with directions for
participation in the election.

Besides Dave Brittain, the class
officers to whom nominations may be
submitted are Shirley Jackson, vice-
president, Joan Dexter, secretary, and
Bill Morgan, treasurer.

In addition, two other matters were
discussed at the meeting. Senior play
tryouts will be held within the next
two weeks and the managers selected
to serve In the various capacities. An
extension of time was made for the
filing of application for recommenda-
tions with the Student-Help office. Be>-
cause of the desirability of such action
a period of several days was added to
ft* original tune limit of Match 1.

At a meeting held March 3 the
French club selected new officers for
the remainder of this term. Mollie
Comstock was elected president;
Wilkinson Meeks was made vice-presi-
dent; Wilma Pechak, secretary; and
Ruth KortKamp, treasurer. Program
secretaries are Helen Bobo and Etta
Culbertson.

At the same meeting, Winnie Berst
told the members about her trip from
China in the summer of 1934, emphasiz-
ing her visit in France.

ARE WE STRANGERS WHO
COULD BE FRIENDS?

People sit unspeaking as they ride to work day after day— strangers
who might become friends if the reserve between them were broken.
Perhaps the same is true between us. Perhaps it's because you feel
that when you ask about life insurance, you thereby obligate yourself.
But such is not the case at all. You can phone me, or call on me or ask
me over at any time without hesitation. I believe that a better acquain-
tance will work out to our mutual advantage. Give me a ring, won't you?

Forensic Meet

Twelve members of the Maryville
forensic squad returned early Sunday
morning from Rock Hill, South Caro-

South Atlantic Forensic tournament,
sponsored by Winthrop college. The
Maryville contestants won two firsts,
two seconds, and a third out of eight
scheduled events.

Maryville's firsts were won by Louise
Proffitt and Mary Frances Ooten, who
placed in women's oratory and women's
after-dinner speaking. The two seconds
were won by Louise Proffitt in women's
extempore speaking, and by the
women's debate squad, which lost in
an extra round of debate to Winthrop
college, the host school. Donald Hallam,
representing the school in men's
oratory, was awarded a third place.
N. C. Wins Men's Debate

The men's debate was won by North

place going to University of Florida.

Capacity Crowd
Sees Glee Clubs'
Opera Production

Chorus Sings "The Mikado"

Under Baton of New

Music Instructor

Ralph R. Colbert, Maryville music
instructor, directed the combined glee
clubs and orchestra in the first pre-
sentation of Gilbert and Sullivan's
light opera, "The Mikado," before a
near capacity crowd in Voorhees
chapel last evening. An ensemble of
sixty-five voices, and the Maryville
College Little Symphony orchestra re-
sponded brilliantly to the baton of the
relatively new addition to the Mary-
ville faculty.

In order to accomodate an enlarged
chorus, the semi-circular stage was
used without curtains, allowing the en-
tire space for movements of the large
number necessarily behind the foot-
lights at some times. The management
of staging and scenery by Maxwell
Cornelius was effectively carried out
in the theme of Japan.

Action moved smoothly and rapidly,
permitting at no time that the audience
lose interest, and an animated chorus
formed a background for the popular,
lilting melodies of the opera. Casting
of roles was strong, in both voice and
dramatic fields.

William Karukas, as Ko-Ko, Lord
High Executioner, was outstanding
among the leads, carrying off the
comedy in his role with ease and
effectiveness. His parody-encore to the
solo, "I've Got Them on My List," was
hilariously approved by the college
audience. Harriet Barber, playing
opposite him, used to good advantage
the opportunity to exhibit her rich
contralto voice and a hitherto un-
suspected comedienne flair.

Disc Club Hears
"Parsifal" Friday

The Disc club has planned a program
appropriate to the Easter season for
its regular meeting next Friday.

Music will consist of excerpts from
"Parsifal," featuring recordings by
Leopold Stokowski and the Philadel-
phia orchestra. Professor Ralph S.
Collins, an enthusiastic admirer of
Wagner's music, who has seen the
opera several times both here and
abroad, will comment upon the pro-
gram.

"Parsifal" was begun by Wagner in
1845, but was not produced until the
occasion of the second Bayreuth festival
in 1882. The story is part of the legend
of the Holy Grail, based, in this particu-
lar instance, on a Middle High German
epic of the thirteenth century.

From its first performance in 1822
until 1914, the production of "Parsifal"
anywhere but in the Festspielhaus in
Bayreuth was prohibited. Since the
latter date, however, it has been regu-
larly given in all the great opera houses
of the world, at Easter time. Its highly
spiritual and religious nature makes
its performance at any other time
nearly sacrilegious.

O

Informal Parties Are
Permitted This Evening

AN EDITORIAL

Few are those whose neglect to bear part of their
classes' financial obligations is deliberate. Some seem to
enjoy a frustrated desire for supremacy in their standing
aloof from class responsibility; a very few are really unable
to pay their full class dues. Those whose parasitic natures
allow them conscientiously to burden their classmates with
their own share of the burden certainly cannot expect to
share in the privileges of those who are loyal. To pay class
dues now is not only to assist the class in meeting present
obligations, but also to aid in making the pressure of other
payments in May much lighter. Let's all cooperate!

Roumanian Artist
Visits on Campus

Daniel Baker Gives Second
In Talk Series

Hugo Bossir, internationally known
Roumanian artist, appeared with Mr.
Daniel B. Baker, donor of the Elizabeth
Gowdy Baker Memorial Art gallery, in
this week's art lecture Wednesday
afternoon in Anderson annex.

Mr. Bossir, who is now in Maryville,
has come from California to paint in
the Great Smoky mountains. He paid
a glowing tribute to Mrs. Baker, both
as an artist and as a woman, in the
expression of his belief that she was
not only the greatest woman water
coleur, but a true genuis as well.

Mr. Baker, in the second lecture of
the series, discussed three of Mrs.
Baker's paintings of Spanish architec-
tural subjects, giving their histories and
the details of their interpretation.

Mr. Bossir has promised to return
later in the series to give a lecture on
his work. The next regular discussion
will be on March 16.

day evening in the Philosophy class-
room.

Following the debates in South
Carolina in which Maryville partici-
pated, several students from a college
in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, re-
turned here to engage in humorous ex-
temporaneous debate. The constructive
speeches were eight minutes long, and
the rebuttals were four minutes in
length. The time keeper was asked to
give the decision by applause.

Marriages of Former
Maryville Students
Are Announced Now

After the literary society meetings
this evening, parties will be held in
the women's dormitories, sponsored by
the social committee. There will be a
group in the Y. W. rooms, four groups
in Pearsons, and several in Baldwin
and Memorial.

Mrs. Grace P. Snyder has said that
the privilege of having these parties i
on subsequent Saturday evenings will

Ministerials Hear Quartet

The singing of a quartet from Colum-
bia (Ga.) seminary will feature the
Ministerial association program Monday
at 7:00 in Athenian hall.

This quartet visited Maryville once
before when they sang before the
association in 1935. On this occasion
they were well received, and sang in
chapel the following morning by invita-
tion of President Ralph W. Lloyd.

Edgar Story, '35, is a member of the
quartet.

Two marriages recently involved
three former Maryville students,
Martha Evelyn McSpadden, Frances
Gamble, and Frank Dean.

In Harlan, Kentucky, last Friday
evening, March 12, Martha Evelyn Mc-
Spadden, former head of the college
post office, was married to William
Walter Brooks, of Lynch, Kentucky.
Martha Evelyn left school at the be-
ginning of the second semster to ac-
cept a position in a Kentucky school.
Mr. Brooks is employed in the com-
missariat of a coal company at Lynch.

Several months ago, Frances Gamble,
also an employee of the post office on
the campus, was married to Frank
Dean, former Maryville athlete.
Frances, better known as "Ollie," fin-
ished the first semester at school before
going to join her husband in Mont-
gomery, Alabama. Frank Dean will be
remembered as one of the outstanding
wrestlers several years ago.

Dr. Frank Bible
Speaks In Chapel

Executive Secretary Honors
Mission Centennial

Curriculum Head
Opens Research
Fields for '37-8

Honors Work Applications

May be Submitted

Next Week

Commemorating the hundredth anni-
versary of the establishment of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions,
Dr. Frank W. Bible will address the
student body at chapel exercises, March
18 and 19, and Thursday evening at
7:00 in Voorhees chapel.

Dr. Bible, executive secretary of the
Presbyterian board, has been connected
with foreign mission work for twenty-
eight years. From 1904 to 1919 he was
a missionary stationed in Hangchow,
China. Since that time he has been
active in this country as secretary, dis-
trict secretary, and as direct field work-
er of the Presbyterian board.

Dr. Bible is a graduate of Park col-
lege, Parksville, Mo., and of Auburn
(N. Y.) Theological seminary, from
which he graduated in 1904. He received
his LI. D. degree from the former in-
stitution in 1926.

Conferences will be arranged for
those who wish to talk with Dr. Bible
about their life profession or about
mission work in the foreign field.

Alva W. Taylor
Speaks in Chapel

Speaking under the auspices of the
League of Nations association; Dr. Alva
W. Taylor, the southern representa-
tive of that organization, addressed the
student body in chapel exercises this
morning.

A member of a committee of the
Federal Council of churches. Dr.
Taylor has been active in social ser-
vice work for several years. He was
appointed to the inter-church committee
investigating the steel strike of 1919,
and was a delegate to the Institute of
Pacific Relations which met in Hono-
lulu in 1925. As professor of social
ethics at Vanderbilt university, he or-
ganized the Institute of International
Relations at Nashville recently. Last
year he spoke throughout the South as
a representative of the Carnegie Peace
foundation.

Dr. Taylor, who is a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, national honor society, has
a Ph. D. from Drake university, an
M. Ph. from the University of Chicago,
and an LI. D. from Culver-Stockton
college.

R. B. Jones, who graduated from
Maryville in the class of '28, now a pro-
fessor at Vanderbilt, accompanied Dr.
Taylor.

Maryville students will again have
an opportunity to hear lectures on
international relations when Dr. Frank
Darvall from England speaks here
April 27, 28, and 29, under the aus-'
pices of the Institute of International
Education.

The announcement has been re-
leased from the office of the Director
of Curriculum this week of the filing
of applications for Honors Work for
the coming year. The Honors system,
begun in 1932-33, is limited to seniors
who have met exacting scholastic
requirements in general scholarship and
in that special field in which the work
is to be done.

All applications, filled out after a
conference with, the head of the de-
partment in which the work is to be
done, must be returned to the com-
mittee on Honors Work by March 24.
The work is to be done in: (1) special
projects of research-like nature, (2)
special courses of reading, or (3) a
combination of (1) and (2).

The popularity of the Honors Work
system has been increasing each year.
In 1934-35 two projects each were
carried out in psychology, English, and
biology, with one project in history.
Last year nineteen seniors did special-
ized work in fourteen departments.
During the current year there are
eleven students at work on concentra-
ted study in some phase of each of the
following subjects: biology, home
economics, French, English, German,
physics, chemistry, and Bible. Each
student receives six to eight hours
credit for his year's work and is given
an oral and a written comprehensive
examination at the end of the year.
Students doing Honors Work are
exempt from class attendance and
examinations in the department in
which they are studying. Special library
privileges are granted to them also.

It is impossible as yet to estimate
the number of present juniors who will
be engaged in Honors Work projects
next year. All successful applicants
must present a statement of the general
plan of their work for next year be-
fore May 1.

Maryville Takes
Part in Debates

Teams Break Even in Wins,
Losses in Triangle Meet

A triangular debate among Maryville,
Milligan, and Tusculum was held
Thursday. A women's negative team
composed of Thelma Mider and Pauline
Cope lost to Tusculum, and a women's
affirmative team composed of Lois
Black and Marcella Ardern won a de-
cision over Milligan. The Milligan col-
lege negative team won the decision
over the Tusculum affirmative team in
the debate which took place in the
Philosophy classroom Thursday after-
noon. Dr. E. R. Hunter judged this de-
bate, rendering a critic decision.

A men's dual debate between Carson-
Newman and Maryville also took place
on Thursday. Edward Brubaker and
Ernest Crawford, Maryville negative
team, lost a decision to Carson-Newman
at Jefferson City. Ray Nelson and James
Whitt, Maryville affirmative, won the
decision over the Carson-Newman ne-
gative team in the debate held in the
Philosophy classroom here Thursday
evening. Dr. John B. Emperor, of the
University of Tennessee, rendered
the critic decision.

Missionary Makes
Plea For Station
In African Field

Voluntary Pledges Raise

$574.30 in Annual

Hope Drive

Dr. Fred Hope, Maryville's missionary
to Africa, conducted the annual Fred
Hope drive in chapel, March 10 and 11.
Wednesday evening and Thursday
morning he showed moving pictures
of his work in Cameroon.

Through the distribution of pledge
cards to those desiring to have a part
in furthering Dr. Hope's work in the
West African Cameroon mission field,
$574.30 was raised by 231 indivi-
dual pledges. Last year voluntary gifts
by students and faculty amounted to
more than seven hundred dollars.
Graduated at Maryville

Soon after his graduation from Mary-
ville in 1906, Dr. Hope entered the
mission field as a layman. For several
years he has been in charge of an in-
dustrial school at Elat.

Tells of his work

Dr. Hope's chapel talks and moving
pictures were centered around his
field, picturing the work done by mis-
sion workers among the Africans, and
the need for even more constructive
aid. "Maryville's gift," he said, "will be
used in erecting a concrete industrial
building very much needed by our
workers."

Students may pledge

Additional pledges will be received
at the Student-Help office at any time,
as will also payments on the gifts
already signed for on the cards.

Oratorical Prize
Contests Begin

Preliminaries Scheduled for
Next Week

Preliminary tryouts for the T. T.
Alexander oratorical contest will be
held some day next week before the
faculty of the Bible department. At
that time two of the six women who
have entered the contest will be select-
ed to give their orations in morning
chapel service within the next few days.
First and second places will be awarded
them, according to the decision of
judges from outside.

The T. T. Alexander prize fund was
established a number of years ago by
an anonymous friend of the college,
who desires to have the prize named in
honor of one of Maryville's foreign
missionaries. Prizes are awarded to the
winners of the first and second places
on the basis of sixty and forty percent,
although prior to 1935 only one prize
was given. By an alternation plan, the
contest last year was open to men stu-
dents, and to women this year .

Topics that may be used for the
orations are as follows: The Deity of
Christ Jesus; Christ's Atonement for
Sin; The Resurrection; and, Salvation
Through Faith.

Every year a copy of each manu-
script submitted is sent to the donor on
his request.

Waggoner Speaks

By FRED RHODY

That James Farley is head of the U.
S. Weather bureau, and that Wm. E.
Borah is chief justice of the Supreme
court, are only two of the startling
facts revealed by a recent citizenship
test taken by students in the social

science classes.

David Lilenthal, according to re-
ports, is not only r^cretary of the
treasury and secretary of state, but a
steel magnate and director of the
Panama canal, as well. Gordon Brown-
ing is an English poet, while Col. Frank
Knox is secretary of state, senator
from Tennessee, secretary of war, and

manager of the Democratic party on
the side.

Fiorella LaGuardia, we learn, is a
former leader of Cuba, and Spanish
ambassador. To John D. M. Hamilton
goes the distinction of being the first
U. S. President, present President, first
secretary of the treasury, ex-brain-
truster, and leader of the Democratic
party.

When it isn't raining, James Farley
is secretary of state and leader of the
Republican party, while John Marshall
stages a remarkable comeback as pre-
sent chief justice of the Supreme
court.

J. Edgar Hoover, son of Herbert

Hoover, is also an ex-President in his
own right, and finds time to run the
U. S. Civil service. President Roosevelt
is the new leader of the Republican
party.

The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fif-
teenth Constitutional amendments
brought us prohibition, while the eigh-
teenth amendment repealed the twenty -
first. Incidentally, all governmental
authority in our country comes from
England. "Ex post facto" means that
no person can be legislated to death
without the solace of a speedy trial.

A "rider" is one who speaks badly
of the government: one who keeps a

A SUGGESTION
CONCERNING MIDWINTERS

In making a ftnal plea for an improved midwinter
system, we are glad to present a suggestive thought from
one who has a vital interest in the plays.

A reduction in the number of midwinters, it has been
agreed, would be an effective step toward improving the
quality of our dramatics and insuring a more sound
financial basis. The main objection to the proposition has
been centered in the fact that the number of activities on
the Hill would necessarily be somewhat reduced, and
many students would be denied opportunity to appear on
the Voorhees stage and to receive experience there.

The question as to whether or not inexperienced
actors should be submitted to critical audiences such as
those which attend the midwinters is debatable, as is
also the contention that since good scripts have an over-
abundance of prominent male roles we must give more
plays to allow opportunity for women studying in the Ex-
pression department to display their talents. It would
seem to us, inexperienced as we admit ourselves to be,
that in order to raise the standards of our stage offerings
we must necessarily be selective in naming casts. Because
a man wants to be a doctor, even though he is incapable,
is no reason that he must be given opportunity to practice
medicine and jeopardize the lives of those who trust him.
An intensive training and rigid examination is a prere-
quisite to every M. D. award. Preparatory experience and
genuine talent should be required of every midwinter parti-
cipant, no matter how inconsequential his role.

As a substitute for appearance in midwinter plays, we
humbly suggest the use of the new Fine Arts studio for
recitals, one -act play programs, and other activities suitable
to give initial experience. The system seems to be working
admirably in the musical branch of the Fine Arts de-
partment.

The suggestion has been made, then, that a small
amount, perhaps fifty cents, be added to the student
activities fee payable with semester bills, to act as a
financial basis for four midwinters, and insurance against
deficits. Some of the advantages of the system, which is
comparable to that now in operation by the Artist series,
may be outlined in this manner:

1. For $1.00 a year, each student would be admitted
to four plays, thus reducing the 35 cent admission now i'i
effect.

2. A capacity audience would be insured for all the
plays.

3. The sum raised by the activities fee, with some
additional patronage from outside, would be adequate for
financing four plays of high rank, worthy of college
Thespians.

This would seem an excellent idea, if it were not for
the fact that at the present time the annual, the classes,
and several other organizations are agitating to increase
the activities fee to meet their needs. While it would pro-
vide that any student might attend all the plays, regardless
of individual embarrassment at the time of their presen-
tation, it would also mean that those who have no interest
in dramatics would be forced to undertake the support
of the program. As worthwhile as we believe our midwinter
series to be, it does not approach the value of the lyceums
whose cultural aspects are worthy of any sacrifice.

We contend, in addition, that there is danger in the
great number of extra-curricular activities now indulged
in by a limited number of students. Since many actors
appearing most often on the Voorhees stage have varied
interests, and find it necessary to neglect some phase of
their college program in order to participate, there could
be few objections to cutting down the possibilities for en-
tanglement in these activities.

The Echo is opening its editorial columns to outside
expression on this problem, and will print signed letters
giving opinions on any side of the question. It would
seem a step toward maturity of interests and broadening
of background if some measures were taken to improve
the quality of the midwinter# series.

Triangle Club

The largest state club on the hill this year is the
TRIANGLE CLUB, whose members come from the
neighboring states of Pennsylvania, New York, and New
Jersey. BUI Young, who is president, comes from the
state of Campbell's soup and seashore resorts.

For many years New York and Pennsylvania had
separate clubs. Under the name of the "Keystone club,"
the Pennsylvanians organized in 1915. Available records
seem to place the organization of New Yorkers in the fol-
lowing year. In 1318, among its eleven members the New
York club had Dr. and Mrs. William P. Stevenson:.

The three states first combined in 1S28, and one of
the programs in this yesr was a '■tacky" 'party. (Norths**
ners: this means a party where one wears hto oldest
clothes.) In 1S24 the erob had enrolled two New Yorkers,
fourteen New Jerseyttes .and nineteen Penmyltanlana.

STUDENT OPINION

The Editor of the Highland Echo:

We are writing in response to your editorial concern-
ing the number of plays to be given in the future. So far,
the selection and casting of plays has been in the hands
of students of the societies and merely advised by Mrs.
West. In most colleges, the plays are completely supervised
by the dramatic departments, and not presented by various
non- dramatic organizations.

Next year a course in play-production with full
college credit will be offered to all students interested in
dramatics. It will provide training not only in action, but
also in the selection of plays, staging, and business man-
agership. Later, additional courses in drama will be
offered which will give even more training. The members
of these classes and the instructors in the dramatic arts
department could serve as a basis for the production of
the plays, aided by others talented and interested in
dramatics. Thus the presentation of plays would not be
sponsored by the various societies, but by the depart-
ment itself, as is the practice in many colleges and uni-
versities. As has already been stated, the present midwinter
system has been generally financially unsuccessful.

Plays sponsored by the dramatic department would
not be 'given for financial gain, but for the enjoyment and
cultural uplift of the student body as a whole. If this
plan were put into effect, the number of plays would not
necessarily have to be reduced, but every production
would be moVe finished and acceptable to all concerned.

This is merely a suggestion for consideration, and is
not intended to be a criticism of any organization or pro-
duction.

Respectfully yours,

THETA ALPHA PHI

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 13, 1937

Editor's Note — In following of a custom long estab-
lished, (about two or three minutes) your editor turns
over the reins of the "Bench" to his assistants, in an effort
to escape work and see, incidentally, if there is a sports
writer on the staff. This week's spread is written by one
Warren Ashby, freshman sportscribe.

In the inescapable lull between sports seasons, it be-
comes a skullbreaker extraordinary to find material that
may be of use in composing editorial comment. »

Orchids have been handed out to many of the year's outstanding athletes,
and so it's now time that special orchids, with extra long steins, be given to
Weldon Baird, for his excellent and faithful work as head of intra-mural
athletics. Never before at Mary ville have the class athletics been so numerous,
varied, and &s well handled. All credit due to said manager Baird for this
new peak in sports.

At the beginning of the year he conducted a touch football tournament.
Then came a tennis tournament; next, one in basketball; and now a tournament
in handball. We wonder what kind of sport contest he is going to pull from his
sleeve next *

Orchids to you, Weldon — in fresh water!

And speaking of intramural athletics, it'* just about time that the
women athletes get a few words. The girls get so much attention in other
matters that no one thinks they need it in athletics. But they do!

Our co-eds have just completed a speedball interclass tournament. And
now they are planning a swimming meet. We'll be out to see you, girls!

That speedball is a wonderful game. Our opinion is that only women
could possibly play this fast game. Maryville men, with all their good looks
and brute strength, aren't quick witted enough for it. It' takes smart women to
play speedbalL

When Yorick starts to write about sports, we believe that he is over-
stepping his boundary. Evidently our dear opponent doesn't think we can handle
the sports. He fills half of his already empty column with his sports nonsense,
written in his own supercilious style.

Sir Yorick, this conflict between thee and we must end. A duel we must
have, none other. Choose your weapons.

Junior and senior men who intend to
enter the William H. Bates Oratorical
contest were reminded this week that
oration manuscripts must be submitted
by April 6.

Subjects for this year's contest are
as follows: The Rediscovery of Charac-
ter; The Menace of Nationalism; Be-
tween Fascism and Communism, Where
the Church?; Social Justice; Unem-
ployed American Youth; The Future
of the Tennessee Valley.

A committee of four faculty members
will select six of the orations to be
delivered in the final contest.

The Senior class won it's second in-
terclass championship by defeating all
the other classes in school either one or
two games. Results of games partici-
pated in by the seniors are as follows:
Seniors 36 vs Sophomores 20

Seniors 22 Sophomores 19

Seniors 37 Juniors 36

Seniors 46 Juniors 33

Seniors 21 Juniors 18

Seniors 36 Freshmen 28

The brilliant coaching of Donald
Cross, moulding a great team from
such prospects that turned out, de-
serves to be recognized. The Senior
team did not have the largest squad
but it must have possessed the most
skilled and best players. The shooting
combination of Gillmore and Brittain
at forward: stellar floorwork of Alex-
ander and Allen at guard; ability of the
pivot man, Hippo Stephens; ever ready
utility man, Dowell, comprised the
roster of the senior class team.

Since the Seniors have already won
two of the Y. M. C. A. cups for inter-
class competition in athletics, they are
in hopes of annexing the swimming
cup and making a clean sweep in their
last year.

Frosh Take Crown
In Speedball Fest

In an extra five minute period on
Thursday, the freshman team of the
women's point system played off a tie
with the sophomores and won the
speedball tournament which has been
held during the past month. The fresh-
men have won three games, defeating
the sophomores twice, 7-6 and 6-5, and
the junior-seniors once, 4-2. The
junior-senior team won two games and
the sophomores one.

Now that the speedball tournament
is over the classes are going to practice
baseball. There are to be four practices
before the baseball tournament, which
will extend from March 18th to April
6th. Six games will be. played among

If the weather continues as it has
been for the last two or three days
Coach Bob Thrower thinks he can
develop some kind of a track team
from those boys who report for prac-
tice every day.

The practices for the thirty men who
are out incluude warm-up and stretch-
ing exercises in the wrestling room,
then distance running outside to build
up their endurance.

Among the promising men reporting
are Tulloch, Rankin and Myers in the
discus, Myers in the pole-vault, Morrow
and Bond in the hurdles, Orr, Hum-
phrie, Rugh, Mooney in the distances,
Cooper in the javelin.

Maryville has been weak in the field
events in past years but if Tulloch can
develop the form necessary for good
throws he should set his aim on the
college record and walk away in June
with it in his pockets.

Additions may be made to the squad
next week, seeing several new men
present who could add strength to the
squad by hard work. These men have
been withheld from practice by the
production of "The Mikado."

With the first competition only one
month away, Maryville is working to
make a better showing against Uni-
versity of Tennessee than they have in
the past two years.

Scot Wrestlers Successfully Defend

State Laurels For Another Season

12-12 Tie With Tenness(
Only Mar on Perfect
State Record

x

the three teams.

During the last month of point system,
which ends the first of May, track will
be taken up. Swimming exams are to
take place on Tuesday night, March
23.

All girls who are interested in going
out for baseball, will be welcome. Base
ball is the beginning of the spring sea-
son for the point system groups.

Despite their loss to Davidson in
their last meet, Maryville's wrestling
Scotties have added another successful
defense of state laurels to their long
list.

Undefeated by any Tennessee foe
this year, the Thxowermen have only
a 12-12 tie with the U. T. Vols to mar
an otherwise perfect state campaign.
Their five straight wins, hung up at the
first of the season, give them a clear
hold on a seventh championship. Van-
derbilt, the only Tennessee team not
met by the Scots, was walloped twice
by Tennessee, who, in turn, could get
only a draw and a 21-9 loss in two
meets with Maryville.

Probably the outstanding factor in
the success of the 1937 season was the
way in which so-called subs stepped in-
to the lineup and man-handled their
opponents,

Elbert Montgomery, Obie Jenkins,

Reese Scull, and Omar Judy, all ad-

! vancing from the sub ranks, came thru

with eight wins, including five falls, in

ten starts.

The Scotties started the season with
a 30-0 win over Knoxviiie Y, in which
Joe Ernest, Bob Gillespie, Rom Meares,
Toll Coulter, Guy Propst, Jim Renfro,
Jim Proffitt, and Obie Jenkins wrestled
in that order.

With the exception of Don Stevens,
who replaced Ernest in the 118-lb class,
this same group nosed out Chattanooga
YMCA, 14-12, in the second meet.

Then, by January 29, when the
Chattanoogans came here for a return
meet, Uncle Sam and the elements
had stepped into the picture. The result
was the absence of three regulars,
Coulter, Renfro, and Jenkins, on
national guard relief duty, leaving
Coach Bob Thrower facing the prob-
lem of replacement. Proffitt was shift-
ed to the 175 pound division and Mont-
gomery and Scull were placed in the

135 and 165 pound spots, where both
secured quick falls, handing Maryville
an unexpected 21-11 victory.

In the next meet, with the three
guardsmen still missing, two more re-
placements were made. Rom Meares,
undefeated in the 135 and 145, where
he had alternated, graduated at the
end of the first semester. His 145-lb
niche was taken over for thsi meet by
Harold Burns. Fred Tulloch, who had
been counted on as the regular heavy-
weight before receiving a broken rib,
took part in his first meet, pinning
Suffridge in 1:05, as Maryville beat
Knoxviiie "Y" again, 28-8. t

It was in the next meet, with the
regular lineup again in action, that the
Scots" hit their peak, trouncing Ten-
nessee 21-9.

In a return engagement on the fol-
lowing week, Maryville could secure
only a 12-12 deadlock with the Vols,
although Guy Propst very decisively
reversed his loss to Haynes, Vol 155-
pound ace.

The Scots, with an unbeaten record
in their grasp, dropped their last one
to the Davidson Wildcats, 15-11.

In looking over the 1937 individual
records, the main feature noticed is the
part played by Guy Propst, the real
ace of the team. He contributed six
wins, including three five-pointers, to
the Scot total. His one loss, a heart-
breaker to Haynes, who won by 14
second in an extra period, Propst even-
ed up with a six minute advantage at
Knoxviiie. i

Jim Renfro, always out weighed but
beaten only by Davidson's 165-lb Vass,
who won an overtime battle, was
another valuable Scot.

Rom Meares, with Montgomery, the
only undefeated Highlander, added a
fall and two decisions in his three
matches.

Altogether, 1937 was a very success-
ful year, individually and collectively,
in the Maryville grunt industry.

ELCOME HOME! That's what

the comfort of railway travel

really means nowadays. On -the railroad— and

on the railroad alone— you can fully enjoy

yourself while traveling.

As you ride at high yet safe speeds, free from jolts
and skids, you can eat, sleep, read, write, stretch, relax, listen to the
radio, breathe cool, clean, sweet air and make yourself fully at home
under the kindly ministrations of courteous attendants alert to your
every need.

i

For these and other benefits, you must credit thorough air-conditioning,
smart interior decoration, up-to-date car construction, improved road-
beds, heavier rails, adequate power and — most important of all — a
personnel interested in service.

Typical of railway modernization for
comfort is the fact that by the end of
the year the Illinois Central will have
in service 157 air-conditioned cars of
its own, in addition to air-conditioned
Pullman equipment. All the railroads
and the Pullman Company together
now have more than 8,000 such cart.

REMINDER . . .

Railway travel today is a thrilling
experience, full of the spirit of
youth. On your next trip learn
how deservedly enjoyment,
coupled with economy in price,
has increased railway patronage
in recent year*.

"THE MIKADO"

(Continued from page one)
Nancy Quinn, as Yum-Yum, and
Richard Woodring, as the wandering
minstrel, Nanki-Pooh. were effective as
heroine and hero of the plot.

Among the supporting roles were
Edwin Goddard, who carried through
consistently in voice and facial ex-
pression; Evan Renne, whose regal
bearing was suited to the Mikado of
Japan; Mildred Erlingheuser, admirably
cast as Pitti-Sing; John Guigou, who
enjoyed himself thoroughly in his role
of the umbrella bearer; George Brown;
and Marion Huddleston.

The responsiveness of the audience
to the musical and comical appeal of
the light opera was exhibited by hearty
applause, and several genuine curtain
calls for the principals. Coordination
of orchestra and chorus under common
direction insured effective interpreta-
tion of libretto and music.

FITS AND FIZZLES

SPRING
SHOPPING

It only takes a bit of sunshine, a jon-
quil or two, and the glimpse of a cou-
ple of returning robins to arouse that
old shopping urge in me, and send me
down town to see the new spring
clothes. Spring really is here in all her
glory at Proffitt's, even if she is acting
6hy and coy with the rest of us.

There I found the very thing for
early spring wear. Light weight wool
skirts in plaid or solid colors, and twin
sweater sets are perfect for this time of
year. You will go for these skirts, I
ani sure. Some of them "zip" all the
way down the front, and some have
narrow leather belts in contrasting
colors, which is very new. If you have
ever had the smooth lines of a skirt
spoiled by a side opening which bulged
dr gaped, you will be gald to know
that these skirts have an exclusive fea-
Jure which prevents this. It is called
"Nevagape," and permits individual ad-
justments, thus insuring perfect fit.
Sweaters to wear with these skirts are
gay and youthful, in a variety of colors
and styles. And blouses! If you like
tailored blouses, Profntt's have them
in broadcloth, crisp linen, or washable
crepe. There are frilly, feminine ones,
too, that look so well with tailored
suits. For wear later on, I saw a ship-
ment of wash dresses bearing the well-
known Kay Dunhill and Mayflower
labels. There are printed piques, linens,
silks, as well as solid colors. One little
number was particularly irrestible. It
was black linen with perky white
collars and cuffs, and red and green
buttons marching all the way down the
front.

On the Main Floor, Mrs. Carringer
showed me a lot of new costume jewel-
ry in all the spring shades. She has the
new "bee-hive" style bracelets, pins,
or earrings in white, blue, or gold. Very
striking, and would add greatly to
your Easter outfit. I also saw a long,
antique-looking pin in gold with brace-
let to match, and numerous clips and
bracelets of catalin, both multicolored
and solid. You will like the new com-
pacts, too. They are leatherette enamel,
are double, and will hold your favorite
loose powder.

This is going to be a really colorful
spring. New bags of patent leather are
in every color you might desire, and
gloves may be had in any hue. The
famous Kayser and Van Raalte are
astonishingly low in price. For sports
wear, there is the ever popular pigskin
in white, natural, navy, or black.

Now for shoes. Gaberdines are
very important and I saw them in all
the late spring styles— built-up fronts,
broad straps— and in blue, gray, or
black. The new cross-and-wrap-around
style is particularly effective in white
Kid Skin with brown trim. For you
who want something comfortable to
wear to class or about the campus, let
me suggest a pair of those smart crepe
soled oxfords with detachable flaps as
the very thing. You can have them in
Sturdy buckskin in gray, blue, or
brown. There are extra flaps, in differ-
ent colors. You can make your own
color schemes by matching them to
sweaters or skirts. Remember, these
shoes are all scientifically fitted by
modern X-ray, and to keep them look-
ing as good as they feel, Profntt's have
all types of cleaners, and a tricky little
buckskin brush that looks like a lip-
stick.

If you feel a twinge of spring fever
coming on, just go down to Proffitt's
and see all these new things. This will
be the best Spring tonic you can find.

By FRED RHODY

It hath been said:

"Revolution is a form of government
abroad. The Stoics were the disciples
of Zero and believed in nothing. A
polygon is a dead parrot. Paraffin is
the next order of angels above sera-
phim. A monologue is a conversation
between two people, such as husband
and wife. Matrimony is a place where
souls suffer for a time on account of
their sins. Transparent means some-
thing you can see through, as a key
hole. Cassius was a vile selfish man
who was always doing his best to make
his own ends meet. Lord Macaulay
suffered from gout and wrote all of his
poems in iambic feet. Milton wrote
'Paradise Lost;' then his wife died and
he wrote 'Paradise Regained.' Humor
was then introduced into the English
drama; for instance, a wife wringing
her husband's neck. A poetic license,
often called a dog license, is one you
get at the post office for two dollars,
to keep poets. Syncopation is emphasis
on a note that is not in the piece. Job
had one trouble after another: he lost
his cattle and all his children, and then
he had to go and live alone with his
wife in the desert. A certain man drew
his bow at a venture, but missed the
venture and hit Ahab. The Bible is
against bigamy, for it says that no
man can serve two masters. Eliza came
before the king wrapped in a camel's
hair. The equator is a menagerie lion
running around the earth and through
Africa. All brutes are imperfect
animals; man alone is a perfect beast.
A man has x miles to travel; he goes a
miles by train, b miles by boat, c miles
he walks, and he cycles the rest; how
far does he cycle? D, e, f, g, h, i, j, k,
1, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, miles.
Martin Luther died a horrible death:
he was excommunicated by a bull.
Louis XVI was gelatined during the
French revolution. They gave William
IV a lovely funeral: it took six men to
carry the beer. The chief executive of
Massachusetts is the electric chair. Col-
lective noun: garbage can. A passive
verb is when the subject is thg sufferer,
as "I am loved." Degrees- of comparisons

bill moving; and a bill that is thrown
on the table. The "spoils system" is
both a labor problem and the system
whereby Congressmen hold their jobs
even after being defeated. Congress and
the civil service are the largest de-
partments in the President's cabinet.

President Roosevelt will be interested
to learn that there are twenty-five
justices on the Supreme court bench,
other figures ranging from one to
fifteen.

Did you know that the governments
support themselves by poll taxes? The
theory of "checks and balances," of
course, refers to our banking system.
Who would have guessed that martial
law is government punished by death?
Or that the "implied powers" of Con-
gress result from a "different interrup-
tion" of the. Constitution? Alabama and
Tennessee appear to have moved their
capitols to Washington, D. C.

Tennessee is unique in that it has
thirteen houses in its legislature. A
"lobby" is either a large entrance of a
building, the office of a government
agent, a place where bribes are carried

on, an influential meeting place, or the
entrance of a bill in the legislature.

The repeal of Ike eighteenth amend-
ment was the present Congress' first
piece of legislation. Hitler, II Duce and
George IV are men prominent in Eng-
lish politics. Russia is ruled either by
a czar, Saltine or Lenin. We also dis-
cover that there is a state of war exist-
ing in Russia, where Japan and China
are fighting. The League of Nations

Chorus Repeats
"Mikado" Before
Knoxville Crowd

Church Sponsors Second

Appearance At High

School Hall

The combined glee clubs with the 35
piece orchestra of Maryville college
presented its second performance of the
light opera, the "Mikado," last evening
in the Knoxville High School gymna-
sium before a large crowd from Knox-
ville and neighboring towns.

This performance was the second ap-
pearance in Knoxville this year of the
College Music department. It was
sponsored by the committee on redeco-
ration of the Central Methodist Church.
The pastor, Reverend Henley, sponsor-
ed the program of the Maryville choir
in Knoxville last month.

Maryville college's first presentation
of Gilbert and Sullivan's light opera
received a capacity crowd in Voorhees
chapel March 12. Its success brought
Professor Ralph R. Colbert, director of
"The Mikado," an offer from the D. A.
R. chapter in Morristown to sponsor a
performance there.

Delivering the third of his series of
lectures on the portraits in the Eliza-
beth Gowdy Baker Memorial Gallery,
Mr. Baker discussed his friendship
with Edwin Markham, the great poet,
and with Wallace, the distinguished
American engineer of Panama Canal
fame at the regular lecture and discus-
sion Tuesday afternoon. The portraits
of the two men named were among
those discussed at the meeting of the
small group of art lovers.

In an effort to make it more con-
venient for students to visit the gallery,
the time for viewing the pictures has
been extended. Darline Andrus, stu-
dent in charge of the gallery, has an-
nounced the following schedule. Here-

Dr. Fields Will Visit

Campus During Holidays

Several visitors will be on the campus
during the Easter vacation. Dr. Paul
E. Fields, head of Psychology Depart-
ment of Ohio Wesleyan university and
former professor of psychology at
Maryville, will stop here on his way
back from Columbia, S. C. where he
will read a paper on psychology re-
search. He plans to spend part of his
time fishing in the Smoky Mountain
region. Robert Dove Downes, graduate
of class of 1936 and student at Princeton
Theological seminary, will be here dur-
ing the holidays. Stanley (Skeeter)
Shields is in Maryville for a visit.

Helen Maguire and Mary Knibloe
were yesterday chosen by the judges
as having submitted the best oratories
in the T. T. Alexander oratorical con-
test which is conducted under the
supervision of the Department of Bible
and Religious education.

The prize fund was established by a
friend of the college, and was named
for one of Maryville's foreign mission-
aries. Two prizes are awarded yearly
for the participants who are judged to
have submitted the best manuscripts.
This year six manuscripts were sub-
mitted.

The subjects chosen for the contest
are: The Deity of Jesus Christ, Christ's
Atonement for Sin, The Resurrection,
and Salvation through Faith.

"Christ's Atonement for Sin" was the
subject of Helen Maguire's manuscript.
She had three points, the main theme
of the paper; first, What in his person-
ality made Jesur Christ the savior of
the world; second, Why was it neces-
sary that he die; and third, What must
we do because he died.

"The Resurrection" was the title of
the manuscript of Mary E. Knibloe. She
discussed the basis on the belief in
future life, and death as consummation
of life, and death followed by resurrect-
ion.

The two winners, Helen Maguire and
Mary Knibloe, will speak in chapel next
week; and from this the final awards,
first and second place, will be decided
by several men from Knoxville.

The semi-final judges were Dr.
Horace Orr, Dr. Norton Rodgers, and
Associate professor Kiger. Last year the
winners of this contest were Alex
Christie, '36, and Carl Fisher, '36.

The college's best musical talent will
take part in a special YMCA program
Sunday at 1:00 in the YMCA audi-
torium. The program, which was
arranged in observance of Palm Sunday
by Don Killain, YMCA program secre-
tary, includes some of the best singers
and instrumentalists on the campus.

Dorothy Home, college violin instruc-
tor, will play the "Londonderry Air"
arranged by Fritz Kreisler; Harriet
Barber, Don McArthur, and Bob Cus-
worth will combine their voices in a
vocal trio, "The Prayer Perfect," by
Oley Speaks; Harold Truebger will play
a trumpet solo, John Magill will sing
"The Holy City," by Stephen Adams.

The Maryville college trio, consisting
of Elizabeth Moore, pianist, Edward
Brubaker, violinist, and Erwin Ritzman,
cellist, will render "At the Brook" by
Baisdeffre; Harriet Barber will give a
vocal solo; Katherine Davies, music de-
partment head, will play a piano solo,

Ralph R. Colbert, director of the col-
lege choir, has announced Sunday,
April 11, as the tentative date for the
presentation of Mendelssohn's oratorio,
"Elijah."

First performed in 1846 at Birming-
ham, England, this powerfully dramatic
composition of Jakob Ludwig Felix
Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, who also com-
posed the oratorio, "St. Paul," stands
second only to the "Messiah" in popu-
larity.

The text, taken principally from the
First Book of Kings, relates in a vivid
spontaneous manner the sitory of Elijah's
attempts to bring Israel back to Je-
hovah, during the Baal-worship days
of Ahab and Jezebel.

Among the best-loved of the forty-
two numbers in the complete oratorio
are these: the recitative by the double
quartet of angels which Elijah hears
by Cheriths' brook — "For he shall give
his angels charge over thee;" the thrill-
ing choruses of the priests of Baal
during the climactic scene on Mt. Car-
mel; and the chorus "Be not afraid,"
considered the' greatest of Mendels-
sohn's choruses.

Violin Students
Appear In Recital

Harmony Classes Try Orig-
inal Composition

A studio recital was given by the
violin students of Miss Worothy Home
this afternon at one o'clock in the Fine
Arts studio.

The following students played: Mary
Helen Moore, Betty Lou Turner, Ruth
Lloyd, Joyce Brakebill, Howland Hus-

A feature of the program this after-
noon was the First Movement of Men-
delssohn's "E Minor Concerto," played
by Edward Brubaker. This was the first
time that any of the major concertos
have been played on the programs.

The Harmony classes are trying
original compositions. The students of
the second Harmony class have already
completed solos for their major instru-
ment, and this past week they wrote
hymns. The students of the first year
class have composed short waltzes for
the piano, and they are now starting
on composition of songs.

Athenian, Alpha Sigma
Have Combined Meeting

EXTRA ! ! !

David J. Brittain, president of the senior class, accepted the invitation of Mary
Frances Dunlap to be King at the May Day, shortly after noon today. Mr.
Brittain said "I am very proud to be asked to accept this honor. I am sure that
Miss Dunlap will make a charming queen."

Mary Frances declined to comment on the election or her invitation.

Miss Mary Frances Dun-
lap, of Maryville, was chosen
this morning to reign over
the May Day celebration
held annually at the
college. Miss Dunlap held a
thirteen -vote advantage
over her opponent, Calista
Palmer, in the final tally of
the Senior class ballots.

Miss Dunlap has been a popular
member of her class during her four
years at Maryville. She has been an
attendant to the May Queen, was a
member of the Daisy Chain at the
1936 commencement, and has appeared
in a number of dramatic presentations.
She is a graduate of the Expression de-
partment.

The election this year was the first
under the new Brittain scheme of
"politics-free" elections. Miss Dunlap
and Miss Palmer were chosen in a pri-
mary election held after chapel Thurs-
dayy morning. Helen Chambers, Mary
Lawson, and Joan Dexter were the
other candidates in the primary.

At the election this morning the
senior class voted on the two remaining
candidates. Miss Dunlap; in winning,
receives a total of 53 votes. Miss Pal-
mer received 40. All ballots counted
were signed by the person casting
them.

Eleven Seniors
Become Members
Of Honor Society

Alpha Gamma Sigma Init-
iates Ten Women, One
Man This Morning

Athenian and Alpha Sigma societies,
will hold a joint meeting in the
Philosophy classroom Saturday night,
6:45. The program will be under the
direction of Miss Garnet Manges, super-
visor of music in the Maryville public
schools. Outstanding in the program,
will be the "Italian Street Song," pre-
sented by six high school girls, with
the coloratura lyric sung by Elizabeth
Ann Huddleston.

The invocation will be led by Donald
Killian, and the benediction given by
Weldon Baird.

This morning in chapel eleven seniors,
ten women and one man, were initiated
into Alpha Gamma Sigma, Maryville
college honor society, in recognition of
four years of consistent excellence in
scholarship.

Those awarded membership were:
Lois Brown, Lillian Crawford, Joan
Dexter, Abby Higgins, Shirley Jack-
son, Dorothy Leaf, Wilkison Meeks,
Ruth Proffitt, Emily Watson, Josephine
Winner, and Alma Whiff en.

Requirements of Alpha Gamma
Sigma are substantially the same as
those of the national honorary frater-
nity, Phi Beta Kappa. Membership is
limited to ten per cent of the graduat-
ing class, and is restricted to candidates
for the A. B. degree, home economics
students having a society of their own.
Scholastic requirements include a mini-
mum average grade of 6.5 for seven
semesters' college work.

Alpha Gamma Sigma, organized four
years ago, now has an enrollment of
fifty-six. Included in this number are
some six honorary members from
among Maryvillel's most distinguished
alumni, and several members of the
faculty and staff who are qualified in
their own right. Five of the faculty
have been included in the society
automatically by virture of their mem-
bership in Phi Beta Kappa.

At a busines meeting held yesterday
afternoon, the society elected Lois
Brown president, and Shirley Jackson
vice-president. Dr. Edwin R. Hunter
was re-elected secretary-treasurer for
the next three years.

Dr. Hussey, Former Maryville Professor, Tells Of Experiences Here And There

By J. T. HUNT

A kind, gray-haired man sat relaxed,
chatting with a reporter. As he talked
he toyed with horn-rimmed glasses,
and with a quiet dignity told of his
work. '

This man was Dr. George B. Hussey,
who for fifteen years was a professor
at Maryville college, and during most
of that time was head of the depart-
ment of modem languages. Dr. Hussey
retired from active service two years
ago.

Retirement, so far as Dr. Hussey is
concerned, seems to imply the oppor-

tunity for further study and a fuller
development of interest rather than a
well earned rest from routine duties.
His recently finished thesis, "Defense
of Some Readings of Plato's Statesman
in Two Manuscripts," was read several
weeks ago at a language meeting at the
University of Tennessee. He is now
working on a Greek lexicon of Plato.
Attends Johns Hopkins
Dr. Hussey became interested in the
classical languages at the John Hopkins
university where they were required
for graduation. They became his major
subject, but later he devoted more time

to modern languages because of th^ir
more wide-spread popularity.

While spending the summer near
Asheville, North Carolina, he met Dr.
Jasper Barnes, then dean of Maryville
college, who asked him to apply for a
vacancy in the modern language de-
partment. Dr. Hussey applied, was ac-
cepted, and left to teach in a college
about which he knew comparatively
little except from the rosy description
given by Dr. Barnes. Dr. Hussey pro-
fessed that he was agreeably snrprised
upon his arrival at Maryville, and con-
siders the students here the most in-

terested and capable of any that he has
ever taught.

The students, Dr. Hussey states, have
become men and women instead of
boys and girls. Every Hallowe'en it
used to be his duty to stay up most of
the night to see that the college as
well as the neighboring houses were
left intact from the thoughtless pranks
of the students. Among other events re-
called by Dr. Hussey that "created
quite a stir" wert the Pearson's fire and
thj blessed event which made Professor
Shine father of twins.

(Contiautd on pas* two)

Several of the college students are
taking part in the presentation of Sir
John Stainer's oratorio, "The Cruci-
fixion," to be given tomorrow after-
noon at four- thirty in the New Provi-
dence Presbyterian church.

The oratorio, a "meditation on the
sacred passion of the Holy Redeemer,"
is under the direction of John Magill.
Soloists from the college are Lilian
Borgquist, Charles Blair, Don Mc-
Arthur, and Carl Wells.

May Day Pageant Centers
Around Ancient Greeks

Plans for the annual May day are
progressing rapidly. The theme of this
year's presentation is centered around
ancient Grecian festivals. The pageant,
being written by the pagentary class
under the direction of Mrs. Nita Eckles
West, head of the department of ex-
pression, is nearing completion and
i parts will be assigned soon.

For the past two months Mrs. Verton
M Queener, instructor in women's
physical education, has been training
groups of women for the dances.

Persona

ities...

FRED JEWETT— New York City-major in Bible— intends
to be a missionary after four years of theological and one
4 year of medical work— freshman year
at Wheaton college — during four years
out of school he was clerk, waiter, re-
pair man, saleman, tinkerer, and
blood donor — likes ice hockey, wrestl-
ing and hand ball — to compensate for
his so flowing hair he has occasionally
grown a bristly mustache or beard which tickled him no
end — doesn't like affectations, big city aloofness, —
prestidigitator who enjoys making his own equipment for
fooling some of the people part of the time — is learning
to like spinach and cold showers— has letters in swimming
and tennis.

HAS THIS BECOME
ANOTHER FRONTIER?

One afternoon last week a United Press correspon-
dent was browsing down along the dingy shop fronts of
lower New York in search of a story. Upon entering one of
the dim, stuffy rooms he found an old cobbler hard at work
mending shoes. The cobbler was singing while he worked —
singing an aria from the opera "Rigoletto". Withdrawing
after due conversation, the correspondent wrote a small
item about it— a story that made the front page of many
of the nation's newspapers.

Had the great composer Verdi been living then, he
surely must have been honored by the hearty voice of the
old man who pounded away at the nails in his customer's
shoes. He must have been touched, also, to know that his
music had gone deep into the heart of a simple cobbler.

Can it be that this signifies a slowly receding frontier
of the older music? Does this point to the time when we
shall have to invade the shops of cobblers in order to live
in the centuries of the old masters?

~We have, you say, conservatories of music. But what
stand can these scattered institutions make against a jittery,
shin-wiggling moondrunk youth— youth who have thrown
Brahms to the mercy of 4-4 time, and who have conditioned
love to the wail of a saxophone.

In this section of the country we have societies whose
sole purpose it is to preserve the rapidly disappearing
Anglo-Saxon dialect of the southern mountaineers. Must
we also organize leagues for preservation of the great com-
positions when finally their age and security have made
them desirable?

"" Were we like the cobbler, we should not have to do

this.

MOONSHINE AND GOLDENROD
By GEORGE L. HUNT

While it Is no longer actively organized, there is a
club on the Hill that still exists from a past decade. When
is had offices it was named the JUNIOR ORDER OF
AMERICAN MOONSHINERS. Its purpose need not be
explained.

Chilhowean reporter described the club's colors as
"anything but yaller." Its motto was "Keep, Kool." The
question arises as to whether it could hold its meetings
t$ince membership in the club was restricted to men.

The ALABAMA CLUB was at one time one of the
largest on the Hill. It adopted the colors of red and white
when it was organized 'and as club flowers goldenrod was
chosen. (Don't they have hay fever down in Alaboma?)
As an appropriate motto they selected, "Here we rest" and
as a theme song, "Nellie Gray."

Ah, Ecstasy!

The first warm zephyr to me brings
Memories of other springs,

The merry brooklet's wanderings,
And I've had my parlor date!

The

Echo

f|T he current Scribners carries an article by J. C. Long
™ called "Conflict on the Campus," which has provoked
much comment locally. Following are a few of Mr. Long's
most salient observations.

She demands of vocational carpet-baggers and the de-
cline of authoritative teaching are the cause of great
confusion in higher education.

7T[ he decline of authoritative teaching in this country
W had its beginnings some sixty years ago, when Charles
W. Eliot, president of Harvard, introduced his elective
system. Eliot had the theory that learning through the
boy's natural interest was better than learning through
compulsion. In practice, however, this may have some
strange results. The youth of today in many a college can
choose courses in advertising, astronomy, accounting,
journalism, comparative religions; and those five units are
equal to any other five units in making him a bachelor of
arts.

Tjj happen to know at the moment of several youngsters
*° who are "slipping around" among the college catalogs,
not for the best courses, but to see where they can matri-
culate with the least effort. Conscious that this practice
is not uncommon, the colleges plead that they must relax
entrance requirements to meet competition. Thus the
Eliot plan of surrendering educational authority to the
undergraduate has gradually yielded place to the domi-
nance of college policy by the sub-freshman.
WT oday, the greatest menance to a liberal curriculum is
'■' made up of the bold demands of the graduate schools.
The medical departments demand so many units of pre-
raedical work. The law and engineering schools insiat on
their requirements, and even the schools' of pedagogy do
not hesitate to warp the undergraduate's training by stak-
ing out their special claims upon'the work he is required
to do in college. 3

fIT pursuit of its true purpose, free from the growing
W he independence of the undergraduate college in the
domination of vocational men, will not be easy to main-
tain. Especially is this true of the undergraduate school,
within university walls, where the very teachers of the
undergraduates have a divided allegiance.

uch is the conflict within university walls, however,
between powerful graduate schools and the colleges,
between the ambitious. professors in graduate work and
the requirements of undergraduate teaching, that it seems
inevitable that the leadership of general education in the
future must come from the independent small college.
A small college, indeed, which has a vital teaching
^* staff, and good facilities, is better equipped than any
other institution to provide a liberal education. That is its
one purpose. It accomplishes this purpose within a com-
pact framework. It deals with a small body of students,
in close contact with the faculty and with each other. It
avoids the bewilderment, the loss of identity, and the
diversity of larger size. It can give the undergraduate what
he needs, concentrating whole-heartedly in this single
task."

Peace Forum

Dr. Claude A. Campbell addressed
the Peace forum at its regular meeting
last evening in Dr. J. M. McMurray's
classroom.

Dr. Campbell gave a comprehensive
discussion of the League of Nations,
touching on its history, organization,
and function. Despite its loss of prestige
through failure to act in several recent
crises, it is, according to Dr. Campbell,
still influential in international politics.

The meeting was in charge of Howard
Davis, acting in the absence of the
regular chairman, Ray Nelson.

senior play, "Mary of Scotland." The
cast has eighteen men's roles and not
all have been filled. There will be fur-
ther chances for tryouts next week.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Echo Sports

Page Three

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 20, 1937

As the week comes and goes the sport editor continues his "long establish-
ed custom" and turns over the reins of his column to another erstwhile sports
scribe. The author this week for the column is "Russ" Colombo, sophomore
sports writer, who modestly submits the material below. . . .

With the dishing out of orchids to certain outstand-
ing personages on the campus seemingly the vogue, this
embryenic sports writer, protege of the sports editor
or what have you, wishes to dedicate this column to that
handsome, young, bespectacled, moustached man from
Alabama, who for the past four years has guided the
destinies of the Scotty swimming and tennis teams-none
other than George Fischbach.

This soft spoken young man since his graduation from Maryville has
taken mediocre material and welded into, if not a winning team, a hard -fighting,
well-coached, sportmanlike team which is a credit to any school. Lack of
material and funds do not seem to bother this stalwart young coach, as he
proved this year by turning out one of the best swimming teams ever to wear
the orange and gamet. Despite the fact that it lost a number of meets, almost
all existing records of Maryville college were thrown into oblivion. One of the
best examples of his coaching prowess is the converting of "Rusty" Wicklund
from a diver into one of of the greatest dash men in Tennessee.

With only four men reporting for the tennis team last week as Coach
Fischbach issued the first call, we who are pinchhitting for your sports editor
toss our hat into the ring and say that Fischbach will turn out a team* that will
make the school proud of both him and the team. We sincerely believe that
the tennis team will win the majority of its matches.

Here's a bunch of orchids to you, George— from an affectionate student
body.

Loud predictions of a Smoky Moun-
tain championship are beginning to
come from the Scot diamond where
Coach L. S. Honaker's baseball hope-
fuls are exuding an unusual amount of
pep and fire in their daily workouts.

There are various factors responsible
for this rosy outlook. Outstanding, per-
haps is the work being done by the
Highlander's veteran infield, which is
expected to be the backbone of the 1937
outfit. The quartet of Hernandez, Cross,
Odell, and Blazer has been whaling the
hide off the ball and fielding smoothly
at hte same time.

Coach Honaker's worries this year
will be centered elsewhere than on the
infield. It seems now that the main sore
spot in the pitching staff, where a
search is in progress for some capable
starter to aid Collins, Ashby, and
Parker. Thus far these three are the
only dependable chunkers to appear on
the scene.

The backstopping department should
be well cared for by Glen Evers, who
has plenty of experience and slugging
ability to bring to the aid of the
championship cauoe.

The flychasing duties rest now in the
hands of Bill Swearingen, Al Burris,
Chuck Kindred, and Nig Wilburn. The
starting trio will come from these four.
The 1937 outfield suffers little in com-
parison with that of last year, both in
fielding and hitting strength.

It remains to be seen whether the
Scotties title hopes are well founded,
but meanwhile they are confident they
can land the crown which was snatched
from them last year for the second time
in 17 years.

O

were played the best two out of three
but for the semi-finals and finals the
match is played the best three out of
five.

The YMCA is also sponsoring a
consolation tournament for all those
put out n ithe first round of games.

The feature of the swimming season
which has just terminated was the
establishing of new records in every
event but the back stroke. Despite the
fact that Coach Fishbach's mermen
won only two meets, those against Tus-
culum and the University of Ken-
tucky; they dropped three close meets,
one to Emory university, one to Au-
burn, and to the University of Term.,
one of the strongest teams in the south.
The season was a successful one.

"Rusty" Wicklund, probably the
greatest swimmer ever to enter Mary-
ville, -figured in every record except
the breast stroke. In the meet with
Kentucky, the red-headed wizard of
the pool, plummeted through the water
fast enough to break both the 50 yd.
free style and 100 yd. free style with
times of .26.9 and .58.5 respectively. He
continued his record breaking perfor-
mance in the meet against the Knox-
ville Y. M. C. A. when he established
a new time of 2(|3.9 in the 220 yd. free
style. With Wicklund swimming ancho%
position on the 200 yd. free style relay
and 150 yd. medley relay, two other
new records were hung up. The times
being 7.50.6 and 1.37. McEnteer, Hilditch
and Lowe figured in 200 yd. free style
relay and Hilditch and Meeks swam
in the 150 yd. medley relay. In the
last meet of the season against the
Auburn Plainsmen Wicklund put the
finishing touches on his first year of
swimming at Maryville by flashing
through the water in the 200 yd. free
style, with time of 2.31.8. Meeks also
broke the 100 yd. breast stroke record
in this meet with the time of 1.18.8, •
The letterman for the swimming team
are as follows: Captain Bob Clemmer,
Warren Hilditch, Richard Lowe, Harold
Wicklund, Wilkinson Meeks, Eugene
Craine, Sert Chandler, John Stafford,
and Tom Taylor.

Tennis Team Practices Indoors;

First Meet With Union, April 2

Tentative Schedule Made;

Two Men Report

From '36

With the first tennis match only ten
days away, Coach Fischbach is trying
hard to get the team in readiness.
Handicapped by lack of good weather
an dthat only two experienced men are
available for service this year, Fish-
bach is driving the squad hard in pre-
paration for their first meet with Union
college on the college courts April 2.
Thus far most of the practice has been
confined to the indoors.

Only two men return from last years
team. Captain Gillingham, ace and cap-
tain of the team and "Russ" Colombo
who played No. 3 position last year.
Gillingham, last year, reached the semi-
finals of the Smoky Mountain Confer-
ence meet before being defeated in a
hard fought match by Ed Scott, who
went on to cop the singles champion-
ship. Colombo and Fogarus reached the
finals of the Smoky Mountain Con-
ference meet before succuming to a
powerful duo from Tusculum. Both
Gillingham and Colombo won the
majority of their singles matches last
year. Colombo leading the squad in
that respect winning fine and drop-
ping only two. The only men lost to the
team by graduation are Ed Scott,
smooth tsrdking star and captain, who
alternated with Gillingham in the No. 1
position and Fogaris, unorthodox
stroker, who by the end of the year was
the most improved player on the team.

Two otehr men on the squad who
hvae had Varsity experience are Fred
ewett and Meeks, who in the fall
toumey showed a marked improvement
over last year. Both of these men are
fine tennis players. A freshman who
seems slated to win a varsity position
is Morrow who reached the finals of
the fall tourney. Although lacking in

The finals of the handball tourna-

will be played off sometime next week,
according to an announcement made by
Weldon Baird, chairman of the Y athle-
tic committee and head of the intra-
mural athletics.

All of the quarter-finals have been,
played except the match between Ed
Brubaker and Reese Scull which will be
played this afternoon. Weldon Baird de-
feated Malcolm Brown in the upper
bracket of the cemi-finals. The lower

has a fine variety of strokes. Other men
who probably will see plenty of ser-
vice before the season is over are: Stan
Czepiel, Gordon Beamer, Earl Short,
and Russ Stevenson.

Although the schedule is incomplete
matches are to be played with East
Tennessee Teachers, Tusculum, Carson-
Newman and University of Chatta-
nooga. A tentative trip through Ken-
tucky includes matches with Centre,
Union, East Kentucky Teachers and
Transylvania. Coach Fischbach also
plans to take the squad to the Smoky
Mountain Conference meet and the
Tennessee intercollegiate tennis meet.
There is a possibility that the Smoky
Mountain Conference meet may be held
in Maryville although present plans
call for its being held in Johnson City.

FITS AND FIZZLES

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 20, 1937

By FRED RHODY

Good Saint Patrick (so I understand),
Once chased the snakes out of Ireland.
A modern Patrick this soul implores,
To drive the snakes from our own

shores;
And these are those we all agree,
Should be gently dropped in the China

Sea
(Or hanged by their ears till their

ankles ache;
Or planted in the middle of a stiff

earthquake;
Or laid to rest in a waterspout;
Or hammered on the feet till the brains

run out;
Or buried alive in molten pitch;
Or burned at the stake like a Salem

witch):
The bright boy who answers the ques-
tion you miss;
The dandy you catch with your girl in

a kiss;
The prof who thinks nothing of popping

a test,
To give himself half an hour longer to

rest;
The wash-boiler tenor who makes your

bile leap,
By airing his tonsils while you try to

sleep;
The rival in love, who stoops, when he

courts,
To telling your lass that you're wear-
ing his shorts;
Diners who splash their soup on your

tie,
Or squirt the grapefruit juice in your

eye;

Girls who say "cute" or "divine" or
"that's swell,"

Or write you letters without learning
to spell;

Backslappers, handshakers, and others
concerned,

Who'll knife you with pleasure when
your back is turned;

The quibbler, the heckler, the grouch
and reformer;

Self-righteous angel, double-crossing
informer;

Cautious conservative, sickening op-
timist;

Cotton-brained radical, funereal fata-
list—

Brpther Saint Patrick, take the whole
pack,

Let not a single one of them back;

Take all these cracked-pates from this
hemisphere,

— Arid there'll be not a single one of
us here!

DR. HUSSEY

(Continued from page one)
Is Hi-Trailer

Dr. Hussey became one of the leaders
of the Hi Trail club, and was one of its
most ardent hikers and supporters. Mrs.
Hussey tells that once on an overnight
mountain hike he and a student became
separated from the group and lost their
way. They were gone for three days,
missing several classes. The first night
was spent at a home where there were
eleven girls, but, as Dr. Hussey smiling-
ly said, "We won't go into that."

Dr. Hussey's liking for fresh air
seemed to cause an unintentional and
unfavorable pitfall for some of his stu-
dents. His door was always kept open
for ventilation, and after the roll call
several would slip out, trusting that
their absence would not be noticed.

When at John Hopkins, Dr. Hussey
received a prize for being the most
faithful student. A less tangible but
more lasting and cherished prize is the
consciousness of his continued faith-
fulness in work well done, and the en-
richment of those lives influenced by
his genuine scholarship, love for his
work, his helpfulness and patience, deep
interest in students, and a unique
understanding of their problems.

ADVICE FOR MALES:
Easter-time is gift time, and
if yoa are at all in doubt what
to give — to your best girl,
your mother, or your rich
aunt— the answer is perfume.
Jt is the ideal gift for
women. Down at Proffitt's
you can select the right
type. An especially nice
gift is a flacon of the
popular Evening in Paris
tucked in a clever catalin
container which can be used
as a pin-tray or a catch-all.
They also have Eau de
Cologne in Hudnut or Yard-
ley brands. The famous Gemey
perfume is always acceptable,
and Elizabeth Arden's Blue
Grass and Cupid's Breath
perfumes are distinctive and
individual odors that captiv-
ate every girl. Try giving her
perfume; the chances are she
prefers it.

The Easter costume is the big news
of this week. Proffitt's Ready-to- Wear
department have any type of outfit
you wish. Suits lead the parade, of
course, with man-tailored ones the
heavy favorite, but printed sheers and
crepe dresses are running a close
second. Big flowered dresses are good,
as are solid colored crepes in the new
bright colors as well as in the ever
popular gray and navy. They also have
some new casual coats, known as
"Jigger" coats, the loose, boxy kind so
good this spring, for they can be worn
with anything, and will turn every
frock in your wardrobe into an en-
semble. As for hats, you are sure to
find the one most becoming to you, for
the colors and the shapes are varied.
There are Breton sailors, off-the-face
types, tarns, pill boxes, and rolled
brims, all in new high shades of thistle,
rose, geranium red, and the smart
coronation blues and pinks, which are
definitely not pastels, but are colors
with" personality. An especially nice
hat is the one called the "Sue Way",
which can be worn at any angle.

But remember that a successful cos-
tume does not stop with dress and hat.
Gloves and accessories have an even
greater importance than ever before.
Remember, too, that the day of the
loose glove wrinkled at the wrist is
gone. Trim neatness is the keynote
today, in every detail of the silouette.
The new Kayspun glove by Kayser is
an example. It fits as if it were painted
on your hand, for besides being made
of non-stretchable material, it has an
elastic inset at the wrist which pre-
vents looseness. Proffitt's also have
Kayser leatherette gloves, button
trimmed and guaranteed washable, and
at a very low price. Natural pigskin
gloves provide the smart color, beige,
and there are pigskin bags to match.
Flowers are better than ever this year,
and the bigger the better. I saw some
lovely boutonnieres, crisp and fresh
looking, the perfect addition of gay
color to your new suit, or a rejuvenat-
ing touch for your last years dresses.
These flowers may be had in any color
combination.

Shoes continue to feature high built-up
fronts, strap patterns, and wrap around
effects. Gabardines and buck are im-
portant, and Proffitt's have them in new
styles and colors, especially blues and
gray, but if you feel you just must
have white for Easter, they have that,
too. White combinations are very popu-
lar, and blue and brown head the list.
A classic white sandal features the
new boulevard heel and open toe,
although it is not cut out too much for
early wear. The whites continue the
butterfly decorations that the earlier
shoes began. And these shoes are all
fitted by X-ray, you know, so you will
be comfortable as well as smart if you
wear them in the Easter parade.

Student Vol Group
Rehearses Drama

Band Has Party

Last Monday evening band members
topk their dates to see the movie,
"Ready, Willing, and Able," after which
the party of about fifty-five persons
had refreshments in town.

The Student Volunteers will give
"The Years Ahead," a one-act play by
Eliot Field, for a conference of the
Women's Missionary society of Union
Presbytery to be held April 16. Later
the play will be given at churches in
this section of Tennessee.

Ruth Proffitt, member of Theta Alpha
Phi will direct the cast. Leading roles
have been assigned to George Hunt
and Joy Pinneo, while supporting roles
will be taken by Edward Thomas,
William McGill, Suzanne Fickes, John
Fisher, Alice Whnaker, and Mildred
Dallas.

Eliot Field, author of the play, is
well-known for his modern religious
dramas. He has written plays for the
annual meeting of the Presbyterian
General assembly, as well as many of
the plays which are produced by
church dramatic organizations over the
country.

"The Years Ahead" is the story of a
young American college graduate who
is determined to go to Persia as a
missionary, despite the objections of his
parents and some of his friends. The
setting is modern, as are the speeches
and characters.

Mr. Baker Gives
Fourth Art Lecture

Donor Discusses Attempted
Bribes of Zuni Indians

German Prof. Views Europe

From A Motorized Bicycle

It is fortunate for procrastinating re-
porters that Professor Collins is so
obliging, or this would never have been
written. With all possible patience he
willingly narrated this amusing little
chapter from his European travels.

Several summers ago, Professor
Collins was engaged in a leisurely
survey of foreign affairs from the seat
of a bicycle. At the time of this parti-
cular incident, he was traveling with
a friend in the south-eastern part of
France. Due to the arrival of several
letters from home, or the inflation of
the franc, they were equipped with an
unusually luxurious mode of travel
just then — a motor bike, which is more
like a bicycle with a motor than one
of our motorcycles.

The fourth in a series of art lectures
was presented by Mr. Daniel B. Baker
in the Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Memo-
rial Art gallery at 2:05 Wednesday
afternoon. ■'.

Mr. Baker discussed eight pictures,
including two profiles of braves of the
Zuni Indians, a tribe descended from
the Aztecs. Mr. Baker related to the
small group of art lovers the story of
Mrs. Baker's attempt to bribe the
Indians with ice cream in order to ob-
tain poses. On the first day the bribe
was successful, but on the second day
it was necessary to use the ice cream
as an inducement for them to leave.

Of special interest among the pic-
tures were a small portrait of Mr.
Baker, and a sketch of Mrs. Baker done
shortly before her death. In his lecture
Mr. Baker emphasized many of his
wife's personal traits, her dislike of
sombre colors, and her ability to choose
models.

Mr. Baker said that his greatest de-
sire is for students to ask him questions
concerning the pictures in which they
are interested. The lectures given by
Mr. Baker are being presented by Dr.
Lloyd and will be published in pamph-
let form later.

The next lecture will be given by
Mr. Baker in the art gallery at 2:05
Tuesday afternoon, March 30. The lec-
tures will continue through April.

Privileges Are

Announced For
| Easter Holidays

New Additions to Former

Privileges Are Made

By Mrs. Snyder

According to Mrs. Grace Snyder,
supervisor of women's residence, privi-
leges for the Easter vacation this year
will be much the same as in other years,
with perhaps a few additions. The vaca-
tion, beginning this afternoon at 3:00,
will last until chapel Tuesday morning.
Daring this time, restrictions will be
somewhat lightened.

This afternoon, tomorrow and Mon-
day afternoons, until supper, men and
women students may be together in
the main business section of Maryville.
Also, this evening, following an early
service in the chapel, and Monday
evening, groups of women students, not
in company with men, are permitted off
the campus unfil 10)30 by signing out.
This evening, however, everyone is
urged not to leave the campus until
after the chapel service.

Tomorrow evening, in view of the
fact that students are not to leave the
campus, there will be various social
activities including mixed parties in all
the women's dormitories and in the
Y. W. C. A. rooms, a girl's speed-ball
game in the alumni gymnasium, and a
science lecture.

Activities are to begin early on
Easter morning. A double mixed quar-
tet will sing outside all the dormitories
as a signal for everyone to get up for
the sunrise service. In the afternoon a
men's chorus will sing Easter songs in
the chapel. Student Volunteers, the
only service scheduled for Sunday
evening, will be held at 7:30 in Bartlett
hall.

Throughout the vacation women stu-
dents, with the permission of their
dormitory heads, may visit women
friends in town. Also, with the chaper-
onage of faculty members, mixed
parties off the campus will be permitted
during the daytime.

Ruth Proffitt Takes Title

Role In Anderson's

"Mary of Scotland"

One day they set out for Switzer-
land, in spite of admonitions of more
experienced travelers, who insisted that
there would be endless difficulties at
the border, and probably a $500 de-
posit for taking so formidable a vehicle
into the country. Heedless of this well-
intended advice, the two daring
motorbikers set out, and in a short
time steamed up to the custom officials
at Geneva.

Without the least delay, papers were
given them, and across they went with
the greatest of ease — too easily as it
turned out. Once in Switzerland they
cruised about quite extensively, all the
while working toward the German
border. After visiting the William Tell

"The Symphony No. 8 in B Minor"
by Franz Schubert will feature the
meeting of the Disc club next Friday
afternoon in the Fine Arts studio. All
persons interested in music are invited
to attend since there are no membership
requirements.

This symphony, popularly known as
the "Unfinished," is one of the favorite
symphonies. It was begun in 1822 for
an honorary society, but as George
Eliot puts it, "it lay frozen waiting for
summer" until it was discovered by
Sir George Groves. Schubert neve*1
heard his symphony played, for it had
its first public performance many years
after the composer's death.

Two movements were completed and
a sketch for a third was made before
Schubert laid them away. "The Song
of Love," which was adopted from the
first movement for the American
operetta, "Blossomtime," is a popular
j portion of the symphony.

Huehn Sings Role

In Opera, "Electra"

Listeners to the concert of the New
York Philharmonic Societies' concert
last Sunday afternoon had the enjoy-
ment of hearing Julius Huehn, young
Metropolitan Opera baritone and the
final number of the current Maryville
Artist series, sing the role of Orestes
in the non-dramatic version of the
opera, "Elactra." Mr. Huehn will appear
in concert at Voorhees chapel on Tues-
day evening, April 27.

During the current opera season of
the Metropolitan, Mr. Huehn has been
heard numerous times in leading roles.
Early in the season, he sang one of the
leading roles in "Carmen," for which
he was highly praised. In recent weeks,
he has carried a heavy repertoire. On
February 20, he sang Donner in Wag-
ner's "Das Rheingold." On February
25, he appeared as Count Robinson in
the renewal of Cimarosa's "The Clan-
destine Marriage." He appeared in the
weekly Sunday evening Metropolitan
concert on February 28. He has also
appeared as Kurvenal in "Tristan and
Isolde," and as Kothner in "Die Meis-
tersingers."

Oldest Alumnus
Dies in New York

Mrs. Emma Brown Alexander, oldest
living graduate of Maryville college,
died last Saturday in New York city,
where she had made her home wtih one
of her daughters. She was buried Tues-
day morning in the Magnolia cemetery,
Maryville.

Mrs. Alexander and her husband, T.
T. Alexander for whom the
oratorical prize is named,
were missionaries in Japan for many
years. They were graduated from Mary-
ville, and only one other student from
the College preceded them to the
foreign field. Mrs. Alexander was a
member of the first graduating class
from Maryville which included women
graduates. Six of her children have
since graduated here.

Mr. Ernest C. Brown, campus en-
gineer, is a nephew of Mrs. Alexander;
and Bruce Alexander, member of the
senior class, is her grandson.

Reporter Finds Natl Problems

Determine Men's New Fashions

By FRED RHODY

Your correspondent has just returned
from a tour of the style centers of New
York, Paris and London (via. the A.
P. route), and brings male readers up-
to-the-minute fashion flashes.

Country clubs are complaining of de-
serted links, and horse races are being
run before empty stands — a new craze
is sweeping the country! Sit-down
strikes have taken America by storm!

Enthusiasts of this new fad will find
a darling sports model suit with a
sturdily reinforced seat and built-in
pillow, guaranteed to make sit-down-
ing a pleasure. Specially-constructed
pockets provide ample space for sand-
wiches, hot soup, soda pop, magazines,
billies, and vest pocket radios.

Following the feminine trend, the

newest men's trousers are slit to the
knee, creating a daring what-the-deuce
effect, and permitting more rapid rolling
during rainstorms.

The spring ensemble for Supreme
Court justices includes frilled rompers
of baby pink and blue, with anklets
and bootees to match. This outfit is de-
signed to give the judiciary that youth-
ful vitality and f riskiness so essential
to coping with our modern national
problems.

The national administration, inciden-
tally, is so enthusiastic over its "Let's-
put-young-fclood-in-the-courts" plan,
that a bill is being rushed through Con-
gress providing for the construction of
a doll house and see-saws in the Su-
preme Court building.

HONORS WORK

Applications of those desiring to carry honors work
next year were turned in this week. Since its instigation
four yearsago, honors work has shown itself a meritable
part of the Maryville college program. Some few students,
however, have criticized the rewards of such work as not
being commensurable with the expended effort. A smaller
number of self-appointed critics have considered it a
system whereby those seniors carrying it are given a
laughable distinction over other and more deserving mem-
bers of the class.

A fair and unprejudiced consideration of the honors
work system will undoubtedly show decided advantages
which more than offset any objections it may invoke. The
benefit gained by the student from the suggestions and ad-
vice through necessary conferences with the supervisor
over his special field will be conceded by everyone except
those would-be rugged individualists who dub any co-
operative contact with a professor nothing less than
bootlicking or honey-fuggling.

Honors work insures familiarity with the library and
library methods, and is an excellent preparation for any
graduate or further research work. But what is more im-
portant it enables the superior student to do what he has
always wanted to do, independent study and research, and
allows him to move at the pace best suited to his interest
and ability. Besides widening the field in which the stu-
dent has shown a special aptitude, honors work through the
medium of the comprehensive examinations enables him to
find out just how much or how little he knows about his
chosen subject.

7TT his week's column is dedicated to those in whom the
^ arrival of spring has aroused the perennial desire for
travel, but who see little opportunity of this desire being
satisfied within the near future. To them the Critick
suggests books, a thought not startling in its originality, but
specifically, two extraordinay books which may justify his
temerity. Two books, because they obviously belong to-
gether. They are identical in scope if not in subject; they
are companion volumes in format and binding; and per-
haps the only really valid reason, they are both by the
same author.

he first is Paris, by Sindey Dark, not chronologically first
but first because the second is much better and must
be saved until last. Not least among the attributes of Paris
are the illustrations by Henry Rushbury, who in pencil and
wash has accurately and systematically taken down the
French capital for Mr. Dark's book. In fact, his accuracy
may be his weakest point, being almost photographic in
treatment. |j

9K he second work of Sidney Dark under discussion is,
^ quite logically, London, similar, as has been pointed out,
except for the fact that it is illustrated by Joseph Pennell,
which alone will justify its publication, regardless of the
worth of Mr. Dark's efforts. Joseph Pennell is one of the
greatest living etchers, and this priceless selection of his
work will render Mr. Dark's book precious to art-lovers
who will never get nearer London than the corner drug-
store. In these illustration, mostly charcoal, he has captured
more than a picture— the very spirit of London. Even
though we may never have seen London, we know that he
has done it well.

As for the merits of Mr. Dark, he has allowed himself
to be so overshadowed by his collaborators, that two
excellent and profound studies of two diverse cities is
almost overlooked. He is not a Baedecker, nor a Hallibur-
ton, neither of which could ever be justified even if they
had Rembrandt for an illustrator. His concern is with the
traditions of a city, that aura of the past which clings over
any great old center of pppulation which is its character.
And cities do have character. To Sidney Dark, London is
"brave, good-tempered, . . . busy against its will, work-
ing throughout the week merely in order to loaf on
Saturday and Sunday," while Paris, on the other hand, is
a "city of experience and the disillusionment that is
generally the result of experience ... a city of irony, but
rarely of laughter." And it is in the delineation of urban
character that Mr. Dark shows himself so capable and
understanding. These well written, superbly illustrated
volumes are really glorified character studies— vignettes of
the personalities of two great cities.

HUSH SYSTEM,

HONOR SYSTEM, WHICH?

Every year the question of starting an honor system
at Maryville college is raised. After a lackadaisical dis-
cussion the question is laid faithfully away until the follow-
ing year, when it is again submitted for consideration.

In the meantime the cheating goes on. We have pooh-
poohed it, hush-hushed it, sugar-coated it, and denied it,
but instead of being a nonenity it is a disturbing reality.
Students continue to cheat their way through examina-
tions, and even the upperclassmen who from a supposedly
superior position are expected to set suitable standards for
the underclassmen are not excepted. Our hands-off policy
has succeeded only in promoting dishonest methods by
bringing a feeling of security to the cheater.

The honor system has been most successful in colleges
similar in type and size to Maryville, that is, in liberal
arts colleges with a limited enrollment and enriched by
wholesome tradition. It is our contention that an honor
system would be the most desirable solution to our prob-
lem.

First of all, the honor system emphasizes the responsi-
bility of each student and provides a protection for those
who want to be honest. Making the individual student re-
sponsible for the morale of the college would increase
not only his self respect, but also his respect for order
and regulation.

It is neither necessary nor here advisable to give a
detailed description of the function of an honor system
but rather a suggestion as to how it might be conducted
at Maryville. We favor a system controlled by the student
council, with proper faculty advisors. Any infractions
would be considered and penalized by the student council
and every student and faculty member would be under
obligation to report any violation of the honor code. In-
fractions would be investigated and guilt determined by
sub-councils for each class, sub-councils elected for the
sole purpose of supporting and enforcing the honor system.
The penalty, however, would be inflicted by the student
council.

A college is made or unmade by its students and is
judged by their contributions. What shall be our gift to
Maryville posterity — a hush system or an honor system?

A rambler through our college woods
is startled by the beauty of our natural
amphitheatre, but his sensibilities are
no less stirred with the realization that
on only one day in the entire college
year is it a student gathering-place, —
that this beautiful, inspiring setting is
never the scene of a public service of
worship ..To initiate, with the com-
ing of these beautiful spring Sunday
afternoons, twilight Vesper services in
the amphitheatre, could be nothing but
a move for the good . . . With a ser-
vice starting at five or five-thirty, a
sermon out there and the music of the
a-capella choir, the return walk at dusk
back through the trees to a buffet
snack-supper at seven or seven-thirty
. . . why could not some program such
as this be worked out . . . It is the
constant surprise of our visitors that
our amphitheatre is put to use only on
May Day . . . Forget the "Merry
Villain" speaking; the suggestion is

serious. . . .

MUSEUM MEANDERINGS

By SIMPSON SPENCER Jr.

Few of us are unconscious of Mary-
ville's hundred and nineteen years of
unbroken tradition, but just as few
know of the antiquity of many of the
interesting objects in the recently re-
novated museum. Under the supervision
of Miss Mary M. Hallock, who has re-
cently superseded Miss Jackson in this
capacity, and Martha Watson, the entire
collection is being re-catalogued and
additions being made.

Most of the articles have been given
by missionaries, former Maryville stu-
dents, and other friends of the college.
A collection of interest is that of shoes,
among which is a pair of highly-em-
broidered Chinese slippers in brilliant
colors. A pair of Mexican fiber san-
dals given by Dr. S. T. Wilson, Syrian
.cloth slippers, and a pair of beaded
sandals made by a blind Syrian are
among others in the collection.

To be seen in the glass cases that
stand in the north wjng of the library
are many items relevant to the history
of the college, among them a cedar
block with a Civil War bullet embedded
in it. The tree is said to have stood on
the present location of Pearsons hall.

Margaret Huff and Stone Norton have
been aiding in the classification of the
mineral collection which has recently
been moved from the former site of the
Museum, the third floor of Science hall.
A shell collection, donated by Mrs. E.
W. Hall, a fine group of corals, and
many fossils may be seen. Dr. McTeer,

Miss Jane Barber, Miss Sara Hillman,
and Dr. Samuel Wilson are among the
donors of an excellent collection of
arrowheads from East Tennessee,
Mexico, and the Phillipine Islands.

Pueblo and Aztec pottery, a Mary-
ville diploma of 1846, a program of the
first anniversary- meeting of Athenian
Literary society, and costumes from
many countries are among the diverse
items in the museum open at all times
to anyone interested.

One of the finest items is the collec-
tion of intricate Phillipine basketwork
to be seen in the tall cases on the out-
side of the museum room. One of the
most interesting, historically, is the
model of Union Academy, made of
wood from the original and donated by
the Reverend W. E. B. Harris, of the
class of 76. To the uninformed, Union
Academy, located near Knoxville, was
the original Maryville college, founded
in 1819 by Dr. Isaac Anderson.

•>While there is as yet no natural his-
tory museum in connection it is hoped
that this may someday be added. It has
been suggested that expert taxidermists
be employed to preserve specimens of
the students and administrative officials
of the present era of Maryville history
for posterity. While the suggestion, if
carried out, would no doubt bring more
students to an awareness of the value
of the collections in our present
Museum, certain technical difficulties
will make the desired addition impossi-
ble for the time being.

THE FLORIDA CLUB seems to be enjoying, through
the good graces of the elements, more publicity than any
other campus club this year. It must be the encouraging
appearances of this yepr's additions to the club. The club
has been among the most active, holding meetings regular-
ly in Bainonian hall.

Earliest available records show that the club was
organized in 1910. Its Chilhowean picture of 1928 presents
l membership almost entirely feminine. Perhaps the beach-
lounging male Flordians did not relish the prospect of
having the sandy shore of Pistol creek replace the Atlantic

Our Scottie cagers and grunters laid at rest the fond memories of the
late basketball and wrestling campaigns Wednesday with an extra flourish.

They elected not two but four captains.

Which draws into the limelight a quartet unsurpassed in recent Maryville
athletic history. It would be hard to find four boys more qualified to receive
the honors bestowed on them than Lee Hannah, Guy Propst, Jim Renfro, and
Junior OdelL

They have everything— ability, strength, color, and capacity for work.

Look for an instant at these four and think of the composite man — a man
with the natural ability and well-oiled precision of Hannah; the muscle and
modesty of Propst; the color and crowd-pleasing qualities of Renfro; and, to
top it off, the nonchalance of Odell.

That, we believe, would be the height of something or other.

The hot sun of recent warm days brings with it reminders thjft King
Baseball will shortly be ushered in amid much fanfare and ballyhoo. And
rumor has it that the 1937 edition of Scot diamondites will be a real threat to
make off with their fifteenth championship of the last seventeen years or so. If
and when Coach Honaker locates a starting pitcher to bolster the trio of
• Collins, Ashby, and Parker, Maryville fans can look forward to a real title
contender.

Things are looking up around the cinder track, too, where Coach
Thrower's thinly-clads are going through their pre-season acrobatics. "Right
now", says Coach Bob, "I feel the same way about track as I did about wrestling
at the beginning of the season. I hope the track men fool me like the
the wrestlers did."

the Cherokee golf course in Knoxville.

Although the Highlanders have not
had much experience they are expected
to give the Vols a tough afternoon. The
golf team has been working out for
about three weeks under the tutelage
of Coach Fishbach. and they are con-
fident of giving Tenn. a hard battle.

Three seniors and one freshman will
compose the starting lineup. Jimmy
Howell, Bill Chittick, "Tooty" Peery
and Ed Lavendar will play in the order
named. Chittick is the only freshman
to crash the starting lineup.

Trackmen Begin
Trials Thursday

The time trials, the method which is
used to choose the track men that will
compose the team in the first meet,
will be held on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday of next week. Although this
method is used it does not necessarily
mean that man wijl hold this position
all season for it is possible for a man
to improve enough in a week-or-so to
eliminate some one of he shows the
ability.

Coach Thrower in his speech to the
wrestlers and basket-bailers seemed a
little worried about the prospective sea-
son. Quoting Mr. Thrower, he said, "I
was worried about wrestling at the be-
ginning of December, and he had a
very successful season; now if we
should come through with such a sea-
son in track, I would he satisfied."

In looking over the prospects for the
team we should mention some of the
promising men. In the dashes there is
Sativski, Rhody, Cline, Bowkley;
quarter-mile Talmage, Orr; half-mile
Talmage, Orr, Morgan, and Lorenz;
mile and two-mile Baird, Humpheries,
Rugh, Mooney; hurdles Dowell, Bond,
Wickman, Chandler, and Hallam;
weights Propst. Tulloch, Rankin, Faulk-
ner, Evans; jumps Etheredge, Hallam,
Walker, Myers; pole-vault Myers
Chandler; javelin Cooper, Wickman;
anything Walters, Hurd, Ritzman.

One of the things which is a good
help to said runners is the fact that the
track is in fairly excellent condition,
having been made into a full quarter-
mile oval which is worked over daily.
This, with weather conditions favorable
the boys should develop nito a team
which will surprise Mr. Thrower.

In years past the results of the first
meet have been figured out on paper
but it is impossible this year since it
is unknown as to the strength of the
Tennessee squad and the capabilities
of the home team.

WE NEVER CLOSE

Coach Fishbach's racket weilders
originally scheduled to open the '37
slate with a match against Union uni-
versity on the campus courts on April
2 has been postponed until the 7th.
The reason for this postponement is
the difficulty Union had in arranging
their schedule for a trip through this
section.

Under the direction of Coach Fisch-
bach the team has been working out
regularly for the past two weeks. With
the exception of one day all the practice
has been confined to the indoors.

The tennis squad has been bolostered
by the arirval of several promising first
year men. This plus the fact that Coach
Fischbuch has four men who have had
varsity experience makes the outlook
for the season look infinitely brighter.
Captain Gillingham, ace of the team,
was quoted as saying, "This year's team
should be better balanced than last
years and we should win the majority
of our matches."

With the weather permitting, a series
of matches will be played later in the
week between the members of the
squad for positions on the team.

The competition for positions on the
tennis aggregration will be much keen-
er this year with only Gillingham cer-
tain of a position. Morrow, newcomer,
seems to the logical man to fill •' the
number two position. The rest of the
positions on the team are wide open.

Coach Fishbach is aiming for the
Smoky Mountain title and if everything
runs true to form the Scotties should
be in the thick of the race when the
season closes.

"Game Night" Program
Includes Mixed Swimming

To round out the events of the Easter
season the social committee has planned
a "game night" for next Monday. Ex-
tensive plans are being made by Wel-
don Baird to provide entertainment
for everyone.

A highlight of the evening will be£
mixed swimming in the pool. This is
the first time that such entertainment
has been provided at the college this
year. " i

In Bartlett hall the game room and
both gyms will be open. Badminton
courts and ping pong tables will be
set up, and attempts are being made to
provide shuffleboard games. During
the evening radios will provide music
for the guests.

At the college pool on Wednesday
evening Linda Iddins led the freshmen
women's Swimming team to a victory
over their upperclass opponents. The
meet was a close race between the
sophomore and freshman teams, but
the winning of the medley relay by the
freshmen gave them a two point lead
over their superiors. The final score
was Frenshmen 30, Sophomores 28,
Junior-Seniors 13.

The diving was won by Virginia
Rood, sophomore, who captained her
team and who has displayed her style
before. Babs McCutcheon and Linda
Iddins, freshmen, and Mary Barnett,
sophomore • were outstanding in their
events.

The junior-senior team was headed
by Mary Knibloe, the sophs by Virginia
Rood, and the freshmen by Linda

'37 Leaders Chosen
At Banquet
Wednesday

At their annual banquet Wednesday
night the Scottie basketball and wrestl-
ing teams chose Lee Hannah and Guy
Propst at their leaders for the past
season.

John "Junior" Odell and James Ren-
fro were elected captains of the re-
spective teams for 1937-38.

The banquet, held in Pearsons dining
hall, was attended by forty-five
athletes, coaches, and faculty members.
The program included short talks by
Dr. E. R. Hunter, Miss Jessie Heron,
Mr. Ernest Brown, and by Coaches L.
S. Honaker and Bob Thrower. Pro-
fessor F. A. Griffitts was toastmaster.

The speeches consisted largely of tri-
butes to success and ability of this
year's teams.

"In spite of the fact that we lost
three games that we should have won,"
Coach Honaker told the group, "I be-
lieve we have had a good season. And
even with the loss of two fine players in
Hannah and Overly, we should have
another good team next year.'

Coach Thrower praised the work of
the 1937 wrestling combine, "especially
the substitutes who came through for
us at the right time."

Miss Heron quoted one of her fresh-
man English themes, which gave as
three wrestling requisites a "know-
ledge of dramatics, psychology, and
music."

FITS AND FIZZLES

By FRED RHODY
Open House Blues
I think that I have never seen
A room so cheerful, chic and clean:
A room that looks like heck all year,
And now is spotless 'cause I'm here;
A room with curtains neatly pressed
Between the trunk and cedar chest;
With photographs that rouse my ire—
(They're brothers and cousins when I

inquire).
This table here of ancient make,
Enthralls me for your own sweet sake:
Pull oft, I trow, your soft arms drop-
Caress this splintered table-top,
While I must suffer reprimand,
If I but hold your lovely hand.
This privileged mirror's life is gay,
Because you smile at it all day:
When I get smiles for which I thirst,
I know your mirror saw them first.
If I possessed some magic key,
Your little tooth brush I should be:
To touch your tender lips— ah, bliss!
I'd clean your teeth— all three— for this.
Each thread and bit in this vicinity,
Is sanctified by your proximity;
And Midas-like the things you hold,
Seem by your radiance, turned to gold.
Such tripe is dished by fools like me—
And swallowed whole by fools like thee.
— M. C—
Song of Spring
Tis now the very witching time of year,
When students yawn and laziness

breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could

I drink iced tea,
And forget such bitter business as the

day
My tests are scheduled for.

Men's Fashions

(Continued from page one)

In the line of accessories, wallets will
be even flatter this year than last. For
the convenience of stock speculators
and bank officials, spring neckties of
gay patterns are available in the popu-
lar suicide number, guaranteed not to
stretch, break, or slip off the cellar
rafter.

The latest shirts solve the problem
of how to utilize the nine-tenths of the
shirt which is always covered by the
coat. Half a dozen zippers are so ar-
ranged as to allow sections of the shirt
to be zipped from inconspicuous re-
gions of the garment, and used as a
spare hanky, shoe polisher, or spec-
tacles cleaner.

The busy broker is able to follow
the market even during his lunch hour
if he wears the new derby with the
stock ticker built into the crown.

Perhaps of more interest to college
students are the shirts with the broad,
smoothly -starched cuffs, which take
either pencil or ink notes. A set of
cuffs for each exam is guaranteed to
bring results.

country, Interlochen, the Rhone glacier,
and other points of interest, they pre-
pared to cross over to Germany for a
round about way home.

When they presented their papers
received on entering the country at
Geneva, the look on the custom officer's
face told them more plainly than his
voluble and gesticulative explanation
that something was decidedly wrong.
Their papers, it seems, were merely
permissions to enter the canton of
Geneva, and they had no authorization
whatever to tour the country.

The official, being a kindly individual,
promised not to do anything, but he
warned them they were liable to arrest
and a heavy fine at any moment by
the first gendarme who should decide
to stop them.

Krofessor Collins and his friend be-
gan to lose a good deal of their en-
thusiasm for Swiss bicycle trips. With
the warning of the custom officer still
burning their ears, they turned around
and set out at top speed (about 10
miles an hour) for the French border.
There must haye been a self-con-
scious look of guilt on their faces as
they chugged along, squeezing every
drop of speed out of the one-horse-
power motor, for every policeman they
met glared at them as if they were es-
caping desperados, while they would
bend low over the handle bars and give
him as wide a berth as the road allow-
ed.

Their luck held until ene cop, less
timid than the rest, stopped them and
demanded their credentials. All, ap-
parently, was lost. He went over the
papers painstakingly, gave an uncom-
prehending shrug, and let them go on.
Professor Collins and his friend looked
at one another in amazement, until they
suddenly realized that they were then
passing through the German section of
Switzerland and their unfortunate
papers were written in French. The
zealous arm of the law hadn't been
able to read them.

They slipped across the border at
9:30 that same night, having set an
unofficial record for a non-stop cross-
ing of Switzerland on a motor-bike.

Committee Plans Party

Joan Dexter, chairman of the Social
Committee, announces that there will
be informal entertainment on the cam-
pus Saturday night for students re-
maining here Easter. Fencing and a
girls' speedball game at 7:30 in the
Alumni Gym will be followed by indi-
vidual parties in each dormitory by
those wishing to have them.

Social Committee Plans
All Day Mountain Trip

The social committee of the Student
council will sponsor an all day bus
trip around the 100 mile loop to the
Smoky mountain national park Mon-
day. The group wil leave the campus
about 7:30 A. M., and will travel in a
tested bus of a well known line. Lunch
will be eaten on the way, and the
group will return to the campus in
time for dinner in the evening.

SPRING
SHOPPING

I have special news this week con-
cerning a little item which is the bane
of all badgeteers. How many times j>
have you lamented because an
especially lovely pair of hose sprang a
run after the second wearing? You
probably vowed you would stick to
service weight, but you nedn't. The
answer to your problem is to be found
down in Proffitt's hosiery department.
They have a complete stock of the
famous Humming Bird hose, which
have long been featured in Vogue, and
one number in particular is very
interesting. It is a four-thread crepe
stocking, and has been tested for wear-
ing qualities. It was taken to the United
States Testing Laboratories along with
stockings from ten other nationally '
known manufacturers. By actual test
Humming Bird Davancrepes wore
longer than any of the other brands.
This stocking has the beautiful sheer-
ness of a three-thread, because of a
special twist which conceals extra silk
in every inch of every thread. This is
really a luxury stocking at a budget-
balancing price, as you know all Hum-
ming Bird hose are, if you have ever
worn them . . .

It is definitely white shoe time, and
Proffitt's have a wonderful outlay of
the latest styles in both combinations
and all whites — sandals, oxfords, pumps,
and strap styles. The white and Lon-
don tan combination is very good this >
year, and is to be found on any type
of shoe, from a wrap-around pump to
a mannish sport oxford. Blue and white
is also popular, as is blue and gray.
These combinations may be had in
gabardine. The high front is still tops .
in style, and is seen in a monk type
white buck oxford, as well as in shoes
for dress wear. A clever new sandal
has what is known as "peep-toe", which
is not the regular open toe, but is a
tiny opening at the. very tip. For
knock-about campus wear, you can't
beat the ever-popular crepe soled ox- ■
fords which are so very comfortable.
You can get white ones with natural
colored soles, or with white. There are
the kiltie type with detachable flaps,
for which you may get flaps in different
colors. Proffitt's also have this type of
shoe in blue, gray, or brown buck.

Something new under the sun is the
house coat. It is a welcome successor *
to the smock, and is much more attrac-
tive. It is made open all the way down,
with a very full skirt gathered to a
very small waist. Some of them button
to the waist-line, some have a double
breasted effect, and all have long sashes
in a contrasting color. You can go as
gay as you like in one of these, for
they are all bright and colorful in
flower or fruit motifs and quaint check-
ed ginghams. A new shipment of the
Kay Dunhill wash frocks I told you
about a few weeks ago has been re-
ceived at Proffitt's Ready-to-Wear De-
partment. There are dotted swiss,
printed batistes, linenes, prints, all
washable, and all distinctively styled.
Next week there is going to be a special
of evening dresses. You will be de-
lighted with these clever and smart
creations which are all youthful and
gay. There are nets, starched laces,
taffetas, figured chiffons, and satins
in all the popular spring colors. Some
of these dressqp have jackets or capes,
while others have peplums and con-
trasting flowers. One I liked especially
WM I shirtwaist style* of White lace with
tricky pockets on the skirt.

Lois Brown Awarded Society Cup

For Fine Individual Performance

Bell, Bennett Tie For

Second Honors In

Midwinter Award

The first annual award for the out-
standing individual dramatic interpre-
tation of the midwinter season has
been won by Lois Brown, it was an-
nounced today. The winner's signal
success in the interpretation of the title
role in Maxwell Anderson's "Eliza-
beth, the Queen" won for her the cup.
President of Theta Alpha Phi, president
of the Y. W. C. A., member of Alpha
Gamma Sigma scholastic fraternity,
Lois has been prominent in campus
activities and a loyal member of
Bainonian for four years.

The award was made after a tabula-
tion of the point ratings of the five
judges, a system worked out by Mrs.
Nita Eckles West in collaboration with
Don Hallam, Calista Palmer, and
Kathryn Quass, presidents of the three
societies making the award, last
autumn. The Thespians were judged on
a basis of interpretation of lines, stage
presence, character work, sustaining of
character throughout the play, enunci-
ation, and audibility. The judges were:
Miss Mary M. Hallock, Miss Lois W.
Lewis of Knoxville, Professor Ralph
S. Collins, Dr. George W. Knapp, and
Professor Kenneth Lagerstedt.

Deane Bell and Gordon Bennett, who
carried the leading roles in the Theta
Alpha Phi cup Winner "Chaig's Wife,"
were tied for second honors. Especial
mention was made by the judging com-
mittee of the excellent work of Clara
Balcom in designing the set for the
Theta Epsilon presentation.

Emma Katherine Smith, acting for
Deane Bell, Dottie Mae Lewis, and Ed
Lavender, presidents respectively of
Theta Epsilon, Bainonian, and Alpha
Sigma met with the judges Wednesday
night at the deciding of the winner. Lois
Black, Gerald Beaver, Walter West,
Edward Thomas, Irene Browder, Gloria
Miller, Robert Gillespie, and Peter
Kosloski received honorable mention
for their performances.

The success of the plan of awarding
a cup to the outstanding Thespian of the
midwinter season has given encourage-
ment to the members of , the three
societies making the award that it may
become a regular part of the midwinter
competition.

Kenneth R. Lagerstedt, Maryville
college German and French professor,
will play the leading role in "Ghost
Train," a play to be presented by the
Maryville-Alcoa Little Theatre group
Tuesday at 8:00 in the Capitol theatre.

an eccentric Englishman.

The scene of the play is laid in a
small country railroad station where a
number of people are stranded be-
cause of a storm. A ghost-train is
known to frequent the nearby section
of track, and its appearance fills the
play with excitement and humorous
situations.

Several Maryville graduates are tak-
ing part in the production. They are,
Maisie Thomas, Elizabeth Hannah, Jud-
son Murphy, and Harry Gauding. Miss

Attendants For
May Day Chosen

Miller, Proffitt, Heliums,
Parvin Elected

Junior and freshmen May queen
attendants were elected in class meet-
ings Wednesday morning. Helen Miller
and James Proffitt were the choices of
the upperclassmen. The freshman class
selected Sarah Lee Heliums and Wilbur
Parvin as representatives in the annual
festival . The sophomore attendants,
already elected, are Ruth Dixon and
Ray Nelson.

Each elected attendant selects a
partner to accompany him in the May
day procession. The queen, Mary
Frances Dunlap, and her attendants,
Emma Katherine Smith and Charlotte
Browder, the king, David Brittain, and
crown and train bearers make up the
rest of the procession.

Mrs. Nita Eckles West, head of the
Expresison department reports that the
pageant entitled 'A Day in Ancient
Greece" is progressing. The Grecian
dances, around which the whole festival
is woven, are being coached by Mrs.
Verton M. Queener, women's physical
education instructor.

The May day celebration of Mary-
ville college draws a larger crowd than
any other college function. The beauty
of the college amphitheater, added to
the well presented pageant and musical
program, is enjoyed not only by stu-
dents and the residents of Maryville,
but also by people from the surround-
ing districts.

Preston Conducts
Examinations In All
County Schools

Students Given Practical

Teaching Experience

In Project

On April 6, forty students gave the
Kuhlman- Anderson intelligence test
and the Metropolitan achievement test
to the eighth grade pupils in forty
Blount county schools. The tests, the
outcome of a discussion between Pro-
fessor David Briggs, head of the depart-
ment of psychology and education, and
Professor Claude Curtis, superintendent
of county schools, have as their general
purpose the improvement of the re-
lation between the College and the
educational system of the county.

The tests were supervised by Newell
T. Preston, professor of education, and
were given by the twenty-seven mem-
bers of his statistics class, the others
being selected from the class in experi-
mental psychology and the history
of education class. The program was
arranged by the College, the expenses
of the tests being met by the psychology
department. Transportation to the
various schools was furnished by the
county.

After the tests are scored they will
be given to the county superintendent,
serving as an aid in the evaluation of
the work of the teachers and of the
schools in the couuty. The tests give an
individual profile for each pupil in the
eighth grade, showing his relation to
the average of the class in each subject,
and also a school profile, revealing the
relative accomplishments of the differ-
ent schools in subjects as well as in
school intelligence.

Professor Prdslon announced that
within two weeks the Metropolitan tests
would be given to all pupils in the
county elementary schools, and that
English and mathematics tests would
be given in the high schools.

By GEORGE L HUNT

In the Prince Royal college in
Chieng-Mai, Siam, it is a custom that
the boys subject themselves and their
rooms to a inorning and evening in-
spection by the assistant principal of
the college. In 1014 this inspection was
one of. the regular duties of Newell T.
Preston, who had come over from the
United States to be the assistant princi-
pal in this college which was under the
direction of the Presbyterian Foreign
Mission board. A graduate of Park
college, in Missouri, he had come with
his wife to Siam to work where the
need for educational training was great.

Dr. Preston describes the college as
corresponding to an American high
school in curriculum. Based on the
English private school system, it had
modern i auipment with its three
dormitories, largo campus, and two
hundred and fifty students. Chieng-
Mai was the northern capitol of Siam.
and. situated in country topographi-
cally much like Maryville. it was not
ible in the early part of

the century. The railroad did not ex-
tend over the mountains in 1914, but
Dr. Preston stayed long enough at the
college to see a modern railroad station
constructed in the town.

During his three years at the Prince
Royal school he learned the Siamese
language, This knowledge was applied
when he translated the Binet test, which
is an intelligence test given to students,
from English into Siamese.

Chieng-Mai was distinguished by the
fact that the only leper colony in Siam
was situated there. Dr. Preston de-
scribes it as well-conducted on the
community plan, with each leper family
living in little cottages. The colony
was begun in 1890 by a Presbyetrian
doctor, but it is now supervised by the
government.

While conducted by the Presbyterian
board, the school is controlled by the
progressive Siamese government Com-
pulsory military training and daily
drills are part of the regular program.

Vesper Services in Amphitheatre

To Be Initiated Next Sunday

Twlight Vesper Services Become Permanen t Part of

College Worship Program For

Warmer Months

Minear Elected
YMCA President

For New Year

Ross, Brown, Baird, Ashby

Hold Office; Annual

Meeting Held

President Ralph W. Lloyd gave final approval yesterday afternoon to the
plan of inaugurating twilight Vesper services in the natural amphitheatre in the
college woods. Weather permitting, the services, which promise to become a
permanent part of the religious emphasis of the college for the warmer
months, will begin Sunday afternoon April 18. In the beautiful natural setting
in the woods the services may come to rival the fame of the Round Top services
at East Northfield, Massachusetts, or the summer vespers in the amphitheatre
of Western college, Oxford, Ohio, where Dr. Lloyd has been vesper speaker
during several seasons of young people's conferences.

— jj Dr. William P. Stevenson, whose Sun-
day evening sermons are the pivotal
point of the Vesper services, expressed
hearty approval to the plan of moving
the worship program to the new setting
with the advent of warm weather. The
"House in the Woods," home of the
college pastor, is just a few yards from
the natural amphitheatre.

Mrs. Grace Pope Snyder, Supervisor
of Women's Residence, voiced imme-
diate approval of the new plan. She
expressed the desire for iull cooperation
on the part of the student body in
recognition of the new privilege. Mrs.
Nita Eckles West, director of the May
Day pageants, was consulted. Her ap-
probation of the outdoor service was
immediate. For a long time she has
been desirous of transferring the scene
of the senior play and other activities
to the college woods in order to make
use of the beautiful natural setting of
the amphitheatre.

Mr. Ralph Colbert, director of the
Vesper choir, gave assurance that the
a cappela training of the choir would
be adequate for the outdoor setting.
The problem of group singing and the
details of the processional and recess-
ional are yet to be worked out.

Professor George Howell and Mr.
Ernest Brown will be consulted as to
problems of seating and possible use
of an amplifier. Dr. Lloyd has men-
tioned the probability of trouble with
"chiggers" later in the season. Further
details of the mechanics of the out-
door services will be published later.

Marvin Minear was elected to head
the Young Men's Christian Association

Winford Ross was elected vice presi-
dent, Malcolm Brown, secretary and

man advisory board.

The annual business meeting was held

ed, the officers have laid the foundation
for what promises to be an important
means of promoting social affairs. The
first administration started its activities
in October with a tea in honor of Miss
Molly Caldwell, former director of
women's residence. It's most recent ac-
complishment was the reception for the
men students and faculty held March
23.

Maguire Wins In
Oratory Contest

Knibloe is Second
Alexander Prize

For

The finals of the T. T. Alexander
oratory contest, held in chapel last
Tuesday, resulted in a decision of the
judges in favor of Helen Maguire for
first place, Mary Knibloe, second. Ac-
cording to a provision of the fund, both
contestants receive prizes. Miss
Maguire's oration was on Christ's
Atonement for Sin, and Miss Knibloe's,
The Resurrection, both chosen from
among the four subjects prescribed in
the regulations of the contest. The
judges were three prominent men not
associated with the campus who were
especially invited to attend the
speeches.

The T. T. Alexander Prize fund was
established by an anonymous donor
and is named in honor of a Maryville
foreign missionary. It is under the

j supervision of the department of Bible
and since 1935 has provided a prize for
both finalists. The choice of subjects,
beside the two used this year, includes,

i The Deity of Jesus Christ, and Salvation
Through Faith.

The women of Memorial and Baldwin
halls were "at home'' to the men stu- ;
dents and the faculty Thursday even-
ing from 7:30 to 9:30. The rooms of both I
dormitories were open to visitors and (
refreshments were served. Visitors were j
furnished with guides to show them

LOYALTY

Few of us are not guilty of the habit of expressing our
adverse opinions of the college and the regulations that
inhabit our freedom. Many of us, especially we urban
Yankees, feel the necessity for apologizing for our presence
here.

We do not advocate Pollyannaism, for there is much
to be desired. But we must recognize that every regula-
tion has had at sometime, and in most cases still has, a
good reasqn for its existence. We feel that this "vital
personal touch" with our faculty is an overstatement, but
in few schools is such comradeship as we enjoy possible.
We complain about the food, but we've never tried eating
elsewhere on fifty cents a day. We may dislike chapel
and point out how the honor system defeats its own pur-
pose, but we overlook the alternative in other schools —
military training.

We should be proud of Maryville, and proud as
Maryvillians. Chronic "griping" is not the way to achieve
anything; it is- merely a revelation of the poor breeding of
the individual. We who complain about the apathy of the
student council and similar groups know little of the facts,
cannot hear the sound of progress for our own clamor.
Perhaps in no period of our college history has Maryville
grown so much socially as she has in the past few years.
We must grow in our attitudes and expressions with her.

MOONSHINING

There are few places anywhere so beautiful and in-
spiring as these hills and mountains of East Tennessee
in the springtime. And there is nothing greater than the
sincere friendship of a man with a maid. It is worth risk-
ing the criticism of anyone, we think, whether this ex-
pression is in good taste or not, to plead for a little plain
thinking on the part of these our "moonshiners." Certainly
none of you would exhibit this behavior so many of you
now excuse here in the public parks of your own town.
Yet our campus here is no less a public place; the parlors
of our women's dormitories no more exclusive than the
lobby of a hotel. The quotation has become trite through
usage, but its poignancy cannot be equalled:

"O wad some power the giftie gie us

To see ourselves as others see us".

MANNERS

It seems to be the idea of a few men who possess a
rather distorted sense of proportion, that to attend the
Sunday noon meal and other semi-formal occasions in
shirt-sleeves or sweaters is smart. True, it's a mere con-
ventionality, but your satisfied self-assertion this way
only reflects upon the home from which you come.

O

THREE THINGS
Three things Heaven gave to me:
You, and Love, and Memory.
You I was not worthy of;
When you went, you took my love.
So I have one gift from three-
God, must I keep Memory?

Editor's Note: From time to time there comes to light a
genuine literary ability which might remain unknown but
for such a provision as this. The following poems were
solicited, not submitted, for publication, the work of two
Maryville juniors. ,,

STORM

If we should meet again in some far day

And you should stop to speak to me, I pray

That there may be a howling wind to tear

Dead leaves from trees, and fling them in my hair.

I hope the driven rain may fall like shot

To wound my face; that slate-gray clouds may blot

The sun completely out; I hope the lake

Lashes and quivers like a tortured snake.

I hope the whole world may be lost in storm

Furious, screaming, rending, without form.

The day when first we met, so long ago,
Was soft and vacant, piled with silent snow.
If in the silence we should meet again,
I could not, silent, bear the wrenching pain
Of seeing you, of finding you the same —
I could not bear to hear you speak my name.
If we must meet again, therefore, I pray
That God will let it be a stormy day.
And I shall stand beneath the broken trees
Remembering that after storm comes peace.

— L. P. B. '38

FALLING STAR

Last night I took a walk.
There were trees and lives about me
But the moon was sickle-edged
And I looked up.
The sky was blue-black, like
The great framework of a chandelier
Whose lights were a million diamonds.
As I walked, looking up, one of
The diamonds fell from its setting,
Leaving a great veil of whiteness
Which the void blew away at a breath.
Then, while I walked, I knew
Something of the fascination of
A falling star.

— D. G. S. '38

DUTCH

He is a fat man.

Got a belly like a lamp chimmeny.

I never saw him

Without a half- inch growth of beard.

One side of his face

Invariably swells about a magnificent cud.

His bulbous nose

Always supports a pendulous drop of moisture.

We call him— "Dutch."

— D. G. S.

I gave my heart to you for winter use,
And now that it is spring, I claim it back.
For yesterday as I moved through the crowd,
A slim, fair lad with eyes of star-swept dusk,
And hair wind-blown into a crown of light
Passed by and, passing, chanced to touch my hand.

— L. P. B.

LITTLE IDIOT CHILD WITH GOLDEN HAIR

Poor child!
I saw you standing there before my chair.
Intently you watched with steady eye
The rhythmic movements of my hand
As I slowly turned the pages of my book.

Solemn child!
What was there in the swing of my hand
Which so fascinated your gaze and caused it
To remain steadily on my hand, until
I closed the book angrily and returned the stare?

Idiot child!
I cannot be harsh with you— helpless creature
That you are. You perceive my scowl
And with a jerky motion you fling your arms up
And I reach out, lift you up and press you to my breast.

Golden child!
As I look down on your head, it seems to me
That you are golden; a warm golden thing of life.
Your tiny arms reach out and encircle me,
And it warms my heart to know that you care for me.

Wise child!
If I could know the thoughts that lurk behind your gold-
If I could understand the babble which springs to your

lips—
If I could see through the vacantness in your steady,

blue eyes —
Perhaps I could understand-little idiot child with golden

hair.

Disc Club Hears
Sibelius Symphony

Miss Home to Discuss
Composer's Work

A fine recording of Jan Sibelius'
Symphony number one in E minor has
been obtained in Knoxville especially
for the next meeting of the Disc club,
Friday afternoon at 4:30. The program
will be in charge of Miss Dorothy
Home, who will comment on the music.

The First Symphony was composed
in 1899 but was not heard in America
until 1907 when it was introduced by
the Boston Symphony orchestra. It ex-
hibits a marked indebtedness to
Tschaikowsky, under whose influence
Sibelius wrote much of his earlier
work. It is no less interesting or signi-
ficant for that reason, as Sibelius is
one of the most unique of composers,
and all his music is characterized by
a distinctive individuality.

The National symphony, in the Knox-
ville concert last month, played this
work with enthusiastic reception.

With the close of the current winter
season of the Metropolitan opera,
Julius Huehn, baritone, will leave on a
concert tour that will bring him to
Maryville college on the evening of
April 27. Mr. Huehn's concert will be
the concluding number on the Mary-
ville Artist series, conducted jointly by
the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.

At the matinee performance on Sat-
urday before Easter Huehn sang the
role of Telmanrund in Wagner's
Lohengrin. Listeners to the concert
broadcast will remember hearing the
ovation given to young Huehn. His cur-
tain calls were almost as numerous as
those of the leading lady, Mme.
Kirsten Flagstad. Of his performance
that afternoon, the Musical Courier
says: "Julius Huehn, as Telmanrund, is
to be commended for his musicianship
and the richness of his singing."

Huehn's concert, originally scheduled
for November 10, was postponed when
Mr. Huehn suffered from a serious
throat ailment.

Huehn is an American born baritone
of German lineage. He was born in
Revere, Massachusetts only twenty-
eight years ago. Later moving to Pitts-
burg, Huehn spent his childhood in
the Smoky city, where he grew up
with a former Maryville student,
Charles Gillander of the class of 1935.
The Echo for October 30, 1936 carries
a feature on Huehn's childhood, gather-
ed from a letter from Gillander to
friends in Maryville.

After winning a radio audition,
Huehn attended the Juillard Graduate
School, in New York, and later studied
under Mme. Schoen-Rene. In December
1935, he joined the Metropolitan and
made his debut as the Herald in Lohen-
grin. Within a short while, he was
considered one of the outstanding bari-
tones of the country, and this year
has been one of the leading baritones
of the company. Many musical organi-
zations were quick to recognize his
talents, and he has appeared with the
symphonies of Boston, Cleveland, De-
troit, Philadelphia and Duluth. In re-
cent months he has added the New
York Philharmonic society to his list,
appearing twice with that organization.

During the current season, Huehn
has sung in Cimarosa's "Candestine
Marriage," Puccini's "Madame Butter-
fly," Bizet's "Carmen," and a number
of the Wagnerian operas, including
some of the so-called ring dramas and
"Lohengrin."

Mr. Huehn is the first male soloist
to sing at Maryville. His coming on
April 27 will be one of the highlights
of the current college year. The con-
cert will be given in Voorhees chapel,
beginning at 8:15. Tickets to the con-
cert will be placed on sale within the
next week.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 10, 1937

.;..., i i i ■ ii i .. i I

The latest note in sit-down strikes has been scored with unerring

accuracy by the Sports staff of the Highland Echo. Left without a straw to

float on, your editor meekly complains of two sprained forefingers, and looks

frward to a new and brighter tomorrow.

Wanted: a few scribblers of the athletic news, with no penchant toward
imitating newspaper headliners, screen stare, or children. Apply with union
card at the Echo office. Knock twice, and ask for Gus. (free adv.)

It is seldom that a Maryvillian is so roused by an event that happens on
an athletic field that he complains about it in writing. Of late, one did complain,
and with just cause, it appears.

May we submit to you the writing of this scribe on the subject of that
evasive quality, so indefinite, and yet so easily seen —

SPORTSMANSHIP

In every game there is a set of rules to play by, and beyond this there
are certain courtesies which should also be observed. In life there
are certain rules which govern our conduct, and which, even though
misinterpreted or misapplied, can be made much easier by courtesy.
Athletics call this courtesy SPORTSMANSHIP.

Our school being ;.■ renowned Christian college, I can sec on reason
why we should not be leaders in SPORTSMANSHIP. Coaches as well as
players, in my knowledge, always expect this quality of the visiting
team! Is it asking too much of the home team to show SPORTSMAN-
SHIP?

I'll admit that some judges of decisions are not so good as others,
that wrong decisions are undoubtedly given. But the least we can do is
get another judge the next time, not try to show our own knowledge
for the sake of others.

Every set of rules on how to play a game ever issued by any good
coach have contained this one suggestion and may I call it a rule;
BE A GOOD SPORT!" It is really the easiest thing in any game to do,
because it usually does not require doing anything, but instead, just
sitting still and not doing anything. Can it be said of you, "HE IS A
GOOD SPORT!"?

The name of this scribe is not necessary. What he says is true.

To The Baseball Men

AN EDITORIAL

A fellow by the name of Ben Franklin once said something about
people hanging, together and separately. It he were here today, and
interested in the fate of the Scottie baseball, he might repeat that oft-
quoted statement. The fact is, gentlemen, you're letting that little germ
of internal dissension get into the substance of one of the best Scot
baseball organizations of all times.

You have something in the way of a team, men. You have a
team that can sweep Conference competition before it, providing that
team sweeps together like a good broom, not separately, as so many
straws. There are things that don't taste so good in this annual baseball
draught. Weil admit the presence of such dregs. But men have tasted
bitter ones before, and lived to tell about it.

You are all intelligent enough to know that working together
never has hurt anyone. That cooperation is as pleasing to the eye
on the baseball field as it is anywhere else. We want to see more of
that same cooperation out there in the season to come. Come on!
Swallow this hemlock, and order up another one. We're behind you,
and if we can help empty any of the glasses, just let us know.
Brotherhood, gentlemen, is best.

President of the Senior Class:

Mrs. Lloyd has asked me to con-
vey to you and through you to the
Senior class her very sincere regret
that it does not seem possible for
her to undertake to give the senior
breakfast at commencement time
this year. As you know, she under-
went an operation a few weeks
ago. Although she is getting along
nicely, the advice of her physician
is that she not attempt to carry
unusual physical burdens for a
few months. •

She has greatly enjoyed the
fellowship of the senior breakfasts
and would like to proceed as usual
this year, but it does not seem wise
to do so.

Very cordially yours
RALPH WALDO LLOYD,
President

Tracksters Open Season In Dual

Meet With Vols At Shields-Watkins

Ssotties Given Chance For Good Showing Against

Gullion's Trackmen. Time Trials

Held Earlier This Week

By RALPH DOWELL

Coach Bob Thrower swings the opening curtain on
the 1937 track season as the Scotties travel to Knoxville
for a dual meet with the University of Tennessee this
afternoon.

The meet, opening the season for both squads, is not
expected to be fast. "We need a lot of practice yet," said
Coach Thrower, in commenting upon the meet this after-
noon, "but I think we will put up a good showing."

Reports on the Vols of Tennessee are more or less
indefinite, as Coach Blair Gullion is faced with the prob-
lem of replacing most of his regulars, who left by gradu-
ation route. Many of his new men, however, are reported
to show ability.

Time Trials Held wt

Some new finds and very promising
things were brought forth in the pre-
leminary time trials held last week.
Results of these events are:

100 yd. dash — Talmage, Savitski

220 yd. dash— Fish, Savitski

Vi mile — Talmage, Fish

Vi mile — Baird, Talmage

1 Mile — Baird, Morgan

2 mile — Rugh, On-
Low hurdles — Dowell, Chandler
High hurdles — Orr, Dowell
Shot put— Propst, Tulloch
Discus — Baird, Propst
Javelin — Blazer, Faulkner

Pole valut — Myers, Chandler
High jump — Etheridge, Walker
Broad jump — Hallam, Dowell
The first meet held with the Univer-
sity of Tennessee should be able to
show which of these men can make
good showings against a good track
team. Of course it is not expected of
the boys to win all firsts but they
should run as good or better race than
they did at home.

The University has always had a
good team being most of the time out

of the class of the Maryville boys; but
it is hoped when the two teams vie
this afternoon that the score will not
be as one-sided as was last year.

Those making the trip to Knoxville
are: Fish, Savitski, Talmage, Baird,
Morgan, Rugh, Mooney, Orr, Dowell,
Myers, Chandler, Etheridge, Propst,
Tulloch, Blazer, Hallam, Cline, Walker,
Faulkner, and Mgr. Buxton.

The schedule for the season has been
changed slightly so for those who may
wish here is an accurate and complete
schedule.

April 10, University of Tennessee —
Knoxville

April 16, Lincoln Memorial University
— Harrogate

April 24, Davidson — Maryville.

April 28, University of Chattanooga—
Maryville

May 1, Smoky Mt. Conference meet —

May 8, State meet — Knoxville.

FITS AND FIZZLES

By FRED RHODY

Your writer slouched comfortably in
his chair, f idly turning the pages of
Sargint's 'Ten Minute History of the
United States and Little Liver pills."
A full-page picture of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence
brought tears of pride to lus eyes, as
he gazed reverently at Thomas Jeffer-
Kou holdinfi the declaration In one
hand and a bottle of Little Liver pills
in the other, while the flag of forty-
eight stars waved majestically over-
head. 1776!

Another very touching picture show-
ed the Dutch buying Manhattan from
the Indians for a handful of beads and
a case of Little Liver pills. On the
opposite page, Captain John Smith was
depicted founding Jamestown, saying,
The men who won't work won't get
any of Sargint's Little Liver pills." 1607!
Why, Shakespeare was in his prime

then!

Your writer settled deeper into his
chair, his head nodding drowsily, medi-
tatively, when suddenly a knock
soifnded at the door, and into the room
walked William Shakespeare.

"O noble fool,'' quoth the Bard,

Siamese Schoolmaster

(Continued from page one)
have been organized at the various
mission stations.

After three years at the Prince Royal
school, Dr. Preston went to Chieng-Rai
where he became principal of a boy's
school. Here was an excellent oppor-
tunity for accomplishment, for the
school was run down and unprogres-
sive. Dr. Preston increased the enroll-
ment of the school from thirty boys to
one hundred and fifty. The curriculum
of this school was suited to ages up to
the eighth grade.

Baseball was introduced by the prin-
cipal as well as wrestling and boxing.
For the younger students a play-
ground was established. Then a course
in practical agriculture was introduced,
emphasizing such things as rice culture
and gardening. And, in order to help
the boys become independent, manuel
training was taught.

"The Siamese have very good voices."
said the new psychology professor.
"They differ from the Chinese in this
respect." A mixed choir was organized
among the town folk to make use of
their talent.

In a foreign station the principal of
a high school is more than an educator,
as Dr. Preston can well attest. He may
| be called upon for almost anything.

"which way to the alehouse?"
Your scribe warmly clasped the hand Reminiscently the professor recalls the

which had penned "Hamlet," "Macbeth,"
and "The Merry Wives of Rena."
Shakespeare looked three hundred and
fifty, if he looked a day old.

"Come, sir," said the host, "let us
look in on the literature class which is
studying your 'Hamlet'!"

"'Hamlet,' quotha? Marry, sir, that
brought me my first fifty-pound box-
offiice. Go on, I'll follow thee."

The two took seats in the rear of the
lecture room. After listening awhile,
Shakespeare said indignantly, "How
now, Polonius a fool? Marry, I won't
have it;; 'twas not written thus!" After
a pause he added, "Methinks the pro-
fessor should have written 'Hamlet.'
Where's the alehouse?"

When Shakespeare was comfortably
draped over the brass rail in the Y.
store, smacking his lips over an orange
drink, the fluid made him talkative,
and he asked, "What sayest thou? Is
James still king?

The writer hastened to enlighten the
old bard. "Not James Corbett any-
more; James J. Braddock's the champ
now."

"Marry, thou art a fool," answered
Shakespeare abruptly, and added in a
puzzled tone, "Zounds, what manner of
ale is this, with seeds in it?"

At dinner, the Pride of England,
Canada, India and New Zealand— who
evidently 1 adn't eaten since 1616 and
had fallen J. way to a mere ghost of his
former self— ate ravenously. Reaching
for his glass, he drank deeply; then his
face purpled and he spat the liquid
out on the table. "Ugh! Water!" he
cried, disgusted.

"Prithee," he said, "why doth yonder
knave eat standing at the mantel?" He
stared at the scribe, coldly suspicious,
upon being told that the diner at the
mantel was a sit-down striker on his
vacation.

"Marry, sir," cried the Bard sudden-
ly, seven o'clock by my dial! I go on
the air at quarter past!" And rushing
by the writer to the door, he thrust a>
bottle of Little Liver pills into the
scribe's hand. He paused a moment.

time when he was called upon to ad
minister an anesthetic to a man who
had an intestinal abscess. The opera-
tion took place on the front porch of
one of the homes.

During his nine years in a foreign
country the professor found time to
travel around that country. He has
witnessed many of the ancient customs
and ritual of these people who, though
once very primitive, have fast become
civilized and abondoned many of their
ceremonies. He recalls one of the cere-
monies which was used by wealthy
people for a funeral service.

"The family built a big dragon," says
Dr. Preston, "and placed on its back the
body of the deceased person. Then the
dragon was led through every street
in the city, winding as much as possi-
ble so that the spirit could not re-enter
the body. When the procession reached
the burial ground the dragon and the
body were burned."

In 1921 Dr. Preston returned to the
United States for some advanced study.
Then in 1922 he returned to Siam.
When, however, he came back to
America in 1924 he came back to stay.
He took more advanced study at Col-
umbia university and New York uni-
versity, and it is from the latter insti-
tution, where he served for five years
as a member of the faculty, that he
came to Maryville.

The clever young author of a re-
cent best-seller makes in her book
an outstanding remark concerning the
importance of a knowledge of cosmetics.
She says that with the dust-filled air
and hard water of most cities, no com-
plexion can retain youthfulness without
special care, and it is only intelligent
to find out what your skin needs, and
apply it. In Proffitt's Toilet Goods De-
partment you will find a most complete
selection of cosmetic needs sponsored
by nationally known manufacturers.
Here you may find your favorite pre-
parations, and Proffitt's can give you
helpful advice about their use. Famous
brands to be found here are Elizabeth
Adren, Harriet Hubbard Ayers, Coty,
Max Factor, DuBarry, Elmo, Dorothy
Perkins, Lady Esther, Yardley, Evening
in Paris, and Richard Hudnuts new
Marvelous Eye Match Make-up. For
care of the hands there are numerous
lotions and hand creams, as well as the
popular Cutex and Glazo nail prepara-
tions. All this week a well known
beauty councillor will be in Proffitt's,
sent direct from one of the nationally
known houses, and she will be glad to
answer any of your questions concern-
ing beauty care, and advise you on
your particular problems.

The sandals are here! I saw them at
Proffitt's in dozens of different designs,
materials, and colors. High fronts are
still tops, and the sandals achieve this
effect by ingenius arrangement of many
straps. As for color, it runs riot. Ask
to see the new multi-colored sandals.
Their gay brillance will take your
breath. Linens are as popular this year
as ever, and may be had in natural
with brown, or all white which can be
tinted any color. They have open toes,
high fronts, or braided T-straps, with
any type heel, spike, low, or cuban.
New this year are material combina-
tions—bu«k with kid, linen with kid,
or linen with patent leather. The linen
or buck portions may be tinted any
color. Incidentally, this tinting service!
is absolutely free. If it is sandals you I
want, you will be delighted with this
wide varietv of fashionable footwear.

You "little" women who have always
had trouble finding dresses the right
length, cheer up. Proffitt's Ready-to-
Wear Department has smart dresses ih
half sizes, made especially to fit short
women, and to eliminate the annoy-
ance of alterations. New dresses are
stressing the importance of color. Nets
in navy or black have gay flowers or
colorful embroidery, or crisp touches
of white at neck and sleeves. Lace
dresses are very popular, and very
lovely. One I liked especially was a
beige two-piece effect with green
buttons. Of course, there are endless
numbers of crepe dresses in solid colors
or prints, and the ever popular linen
and pique wash dresses. Suits are with
us still, the newest being made of a
cool, light fabric in summery colors
with contrastirm bloustt, among them
beige with wine, and wihte with navy
blue. There are dresses of this same
material with packets to match. Come
down and KC these new dresses. You
ollows: will like them, I am sure.

NUMBER 23

Huehn Presents
Wide Repertoire
In Concert Here

^Toreador Song" from

Opera "Carmen" to be

Sung by Baritone

Fresh from recent triumphs before
the golden horseshoe of the Metropoli-
tan, Julius Huehn, young American
baritone, will bring a widely varied
reportoire to the Maryville audience
when he sings in Voorhees chapel on
Tuesday evening, April 27. Mr. Huehn
is the final artist to appear on this
years series.

Huehn, who has appeared recently
with a number of the leading sym-
phonies, including the Philadelphia
symphony, is being highly praised as
one of the most promising young leads
in the Metropolitan, and as an accom-
plished concert singer. Everywhere he
has appeared during the current sea-
son he has won his audience with his
personality and the majesty of his
singing.

Included on his program for the
Maryville concert are some of the works
of the best known composers. In his
first group, he will sing "Hear Me Ye
Winds and "Wave" from Handel's
work, "Julius Caesar" and the aria
"Non piu andrai" from Mozart's
"Marriage of Figaro." Schubert's im-
mortal "Der Lindenbaum" opens the
second group, which also contains "Auf
dem Kirchhofe" of Brahms, and "Ewig"
by Erich Wolff.

Perhaps the high point of the pro-
gram will be the singing of the famous
"Toreador song" from Bizet's "Car-
men." It will be remembered that Mr.
Huehn sang in the Metropolitan pro-

Elaborate plans for the presentation
of the annual May Day pageant, the
fame of wiuph extends throughout this
section of the country, arc being com-
pleted this week. It is estimated that
between two and three thousand peo-
ple were in attendance at the festival
last year, the largest crowd to which
Maryville has ever been host.

The scene of the program, in the
natural amphitheatre in the college
woods, is a setting well suited to the
character of the pageant. The imagi-
native theme this year is intended to
depict a day in ancient Greece. Wan-
derers from Maryville college are met
by nymphs who convey them to an
enchanted land. The queen of the Gods
and the three Graces come from
Olympia to present in pageant the
events of a day in a classical city.
Rumor, in dance, tells the story of im-
pending battle. Tableaux, copied from
a frieze from Art of Antiquity, suggest
the dramatic combat. A wounded
soldier portrays the clash of arms and
ultimate victory in an interpretive
dance. A triumphal procession follows,
the bringing home of the captives. A
festival day is proclaimed, with song
furnishing merriment for the joyous
occosion. At the end of the day the
queen speeds the wanderers on their
way.

The annual May Day pageant,
sponsored each year by the Y. W. C.
A., receives cooperation from various
departments of the college. This year
songs for the occasion are being pre-
pared by the Women's Glee Club under
tho direction of Mr. Ralph Colbert. The
interpretive dances, coached by Mrs.
Evelyn Queener, are new and difficult.
The whole project is being unified by
the pageantry class, directed by Mrs.
Nita Eckles West. A great number of
students annually participate in the
program.

Council Sponsors
Peace Discussion

A special chapel program and
faculty -student class discussions will be
part of the national peace day program
to be sponsored next Thursday by the
Student council and members of the
Peace forum. Helen Woodward and
Ruth Haines are a committee in charge
of arrangements for the entire program.

National peace day, sponsored by
student governments and publications
in colleges throughout the country, will
include weekly student forums, vesper
services, parades and public addresses,
peace plays, and radio programs. The
program is designed to increase stu-
dent-consciousness of needs for peace,
and to further promote peace plans.

The Council, at its meeting last even-
ing, expressed its formal approval of a

"EHjah"ToBeSung
By College Choir

Handel's Famous Oratorio
Directed by Colbert

The Maryville college a capella
choir under the direction of Mr. Ralph
W. Colbert, will sing Handel's "Elijah"
April 25 at three o'clock- in
Voorhees chapel. The "Elijah" is re-
garded as one of the greatest oratories
ever written— second only to Handel's
"Messiah!" Some critics regard the
"Elijah" as superior to the "Messiah."

The choir will do eight of the coruses
and the famous women's trio, "Lift
Thine Eyes." The two tenor solos, "If
With All Your Heart" and "Then Shall
the Righteous Shine Forth," which were
originally assigned to Robert Cus worth
may be sung by Richard Woodring
since Mr. Cusworth is confined to the
hospital with the measles. Don Mc-
Arthur who is taking the part of Elijah,
will sing the well-known bass aria, "It
Is Enough." A contralto solo, "O Rest
in the Lord" will be sung by Harriet
Barber.

Ruth Mack and Zula Vance will ac-
company the choir.

Collins Granted
Year's Absence

To Work at Johns Hopkins
For Ph. D. Degree

Ralph S. Collins, professor of French
and German, has been granted a year's
leave of absence from Maryville in
which to continue work for his Ph. D.
degree at Johns Hopkins university.

Professor Collins has recently re-
ceived an offer from Johns Hopkins of
a scholarship and a class in German
for the year 1937-38. He has already
done some of his work for the doctorate
while at Middlebury, Vermont. Before
going to Johns Hopkins in the autumn,
he will spend the summer studying at
Middlebury.

Coming to Maryville in 1935, the
young French and German professor
rapidly earned the respect and friend-
ship of faculty and student. He looks
forward with pleasure to his return to
Maryville campus in 1938,

Added Privileges Granted
By Social Committee

The social committee has, in the past
few weeks, sponsored several new pri-
vileges for students residing in the
dormitories. Groups of women students
are new permitted to attend the movies
in town any evening of the week pro-
vided that they are accompanied by a
faculty member.

Men and women, according to the
new ruling, are now permitted to stroll
about the central part of the campus
between the buildings in the evening
from dinner until the 6:50 bell. This
is an alteration from the previous
rule that women students accompanied
by men must proceed to their dormi-
tories immediately following the even-
ing meal.

Seniors Have Party

Bates Oratorical
Finalists Chosen

Six Contestants Set May .3
As Tentative Date

Six contestants, four juniors and two
seniors, have been chosen by the com-
mittee on the Bates Oratorical contest,
from the men submitting manuscripts,
to compete in the finals of the second
oratorical prize contest of the year. The
date for the contest has been set tenta-
tively for May 3.

The six men, who were chosen under
their pen names from manuscripts sub-
mitted on April 6, include, Malcolm
Brown, William Davis, Donald Hallam,
Simpson Spencer, Walter West and
James Whitt. The manuscripts sub-
mitted by the original contestants were
read and judged by four judges and
the results announced before the real
names of the contestants were made
known.

The Bates Oratorical prize foundation
was established by the Rev. William
Bates, D. D., of Greeley, Colorado, who
contributed the sum of one thousand
dollars, the annual income from which
was to be used to provide the prize. The
contest is open alternate years to
men and women of the two upper
classes. It is so arranged that the T. T.
Alexander prize contest and the Bates
contest are not open to the same group
the same years.

At a meeting on Wednesday morning,
the contestants agreed upon a prospec-
tive date for the contest and submitted
a list of judges from which a committee
of four faculty members will be chosen
by Miss Jessie K. Johnson, chairman
of the Bates contest committee, to
judge the orations.

The contest was won last year by
Marie Carlson, of the class of 1936.

By OTTO PFLANZE

Maryvillians know Ralph W. Colbert
only as a musician, but Morristown
(Term.) Kiwanians know him also as a
prankster extraordinary.

Mr. Colbert was a member of the
Kiwanis club in Morristown where he
was supervisor of public school music
before he accepted his position at Mary-
ville. As chairman of the club enter-
tainment committee, it was his job to
arrange the practical jokes upon which
Kiwanis banquets thrive. Recently Mr.
Colbert related some of his best ones.

One evening when a banquet was in
full swing the chief of police came to
the door and announced that he wanted
the member of the club who had left
his car outside with the back seat full
of whiskey cases. It was done in such
a serious manner that the banqueteers

began to look about among fellow
Kiwanians for a guilty face. The club
president conferred with the policeman
and then announced very graciously
that if the guilty person would rise
and confess it would save a lot of em-
barrassment to everyone present. One
member's chair had previously been
wired with electricity, and, when
Colbert pushed a concealed button, that
member gave an exclamation and arose
rather hastily. The Kiwanians soon saw
the joke, and the "guilty person's face
turned red amid howls of laughter
from his fellow club members."

If you question him, there is one joke
that Colbert will tell before all the
rest, for it was the best of them all.
There was a big, final banquet of the
year, a gala affair, with the Kiwanians,
their wives, and children present in

full force. Colbert had been approached
previously by members with the admo-
nition to "make this one good." In fact,
so many had used that expression that
Colbert resolved to stage a practical
joke that would be talked about among
Morristown Kiwanians for some time.

On the night of the banquet there
were only three persons besides Colbert
who knew what was "coming off," the
manager of the hotel, where the affair
was to be held, and two negro waiters,
whose pocket books had been well
"lubricated."

The meal had been finished, and the
waiters were clearing the table so that
the speech-making could begin. Typical
negro waiters, they took great pride in
the number of plates they could pile
one tray and carry nonchalantly

SECTIONALISM

News of the lynching of two negroes in Mississippi
Tuesday afternoon caused quite a furor among Maryville
students — especially those from the north. The newspaper
print of the story was hardly dry before 'they were
berating southerners here for the crime. It seems that
enlightened student opinion would put an end to the
sectionalism — sometimes all too bitter — that exists on this
campus.

Lynching, to the northerners, is purely a "southern
sport," yet lynchings have occurred in every state in the
Union except, Maine, New Hampshire and South Dakota.
The northerners are willing to condemn the southern legal
institutions, but close their eyes to equally bad conditions
existing at home. The problem of lynching is not one that
can be solved by "passing a law." It is a social, not a
political, crime. It cannot be stopped till something is
done to change the social order.

This lynching was probably done by a class of people
that can be compared only with those in the slums of
northern cities — illiterate, [uneducated, prejudiced. The
better class of people in the south do not condone the
crime. To them it is abominable. Yet, this sectionalistic
controversy recognizes no good people in the south.

Maryville with its student body as equally divided as
it is, could do much to eliminate a feeling of sectionalism
that now exists. The War Between the States is over —
let it not be revived with any foolish who-won-the-war
argument, or any rebel-lynched-nigger criticism. We are
neither northerners nor southerners — we are Americans,
attending a Christian institution.

SUNDAY VESPERS

We read with pleasure the announcement that Sun-
day vesper services will be held in the college woods,
beginning with tomorrow evening. We wonder why such
a program has not been initiated before.

The natural amphitheatre, held to be the most beauti-
ful in East Tennessee, has been used only rarely, such as
for the annual May day festival. Admired ,by students and
a place we are always proud to show visitors, it has been
like a parlor in the days of grandsires, kept for state
occasions.

Now, at the instigation of one of our enterprising
fellow-students, a chance will be given to enjoy the simple,
impressive vesper services, which are a characteristic of
Maryville, in a setting of natural beauty.

Our Pilgrim fathcis first worshiped^ in a similar
fashion. Since then Nature as a stimulus to worship has
been written of many times. It seems that the beauty of
the dell should really add much to our Sunday evening
services.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 17, 1937

H

yoRKft

/fAie of the most recent New York publications and
™ Book-of-the-Month Club selection is "Of Mice and
Men" by John Steinbeck. Ushered in amidst the plaudits
of reviewers and columnists, it has enjoyed a remarkably
widespread popularity, more widespread we think, than
it deserves. It has been characterized as possessing "tre-
mendous power and soaring beauty." It has been called
"the finest work of one of the finest living American
writers." It attains an alleged "unity and concentrated
force of great drama."

Iff ndoubtedly it is a striking piece of prose— virile,
™ human, dramatic, but it is doubtful if we can, after
closer inspection, accept the critical estimates of its being
the outstanding literary masterpiece of the century, which
position the enthusiam of some who ought to know better
would seem to indicate.

Tj n the first place, was Mr. Steinbeck justified in his
use of language? Granted that it is the "exact and
necessary speech" as Christopher Morley says, of the
ranch hands whose vicitudes wake the story, it would
still seem that Mr. Steinbeck might presume a public of
even below-average cultivation but whose tastes and
sensibilities would nevertheless be offended.

hen too, what is lacking in the characterization of
George? In spite of the part that he occupies the
center of stage from the first act to the last, we never
really know him. Physically we see that he is short and
tough; his speech we recognize in its sulphurous grossness;
but the man is a stranger of motives unknown and
potentialities unguessed. Which leads quite naturally into
the question of the dramatic truth of the climax of the
story. It would be possible for George to do what he did,
for no other reason than that we don't know him, but is
it probable that he would? Do dull, colorless ranch hands
kill their only friends merely in an attempt to cheat
inevitable fate? This one did, but in it can be seen evi-
dence of what could easily be construed as forced drama-
tics in uninspired striving for effect.

egardless of the validity of these criticisms, however,
it need not be inferred that "Of Mice and Men" is en-
tirely without merit. To the contrary it is a highly indi-
vidual work, unusual and pathetically intense. But not
a book to change the course of literary history, or even
to disturb seriously this year's best-seller list.

Editor, The Highland Echo
Issue of April 10, 1937
Maryville College
Honorable Editor:

I am what is termed in most Letters-
to-the-Editor "A constant reader," and
as such I came across the enclosed
editorial in the Echo of above date.
Perhaps you, in writing this, could not
say as Homer once said,

"But some immortal turned my mind
away,

To think what others of the deed
would say;"
but you certainly could have turned
your mind to the public parks of your
own home town. Tsk, tsk. One would
gather that you hold up your parks
as a shining example.

Too, you compare the Maryville
campus and the women's dorm to your
public parks and hotel lobbies. Some-
how I can't make the two line up. The
beauty of the Maryville campus has
it all over the parks, but the campus
can in no way be termed public.

Sincerely, I hope that you will re-
consider the matter and come to the
conclusion that there is no better place
than the campus of dear old Maryville
to engage in a dash of "moonshining."
I am sure that I represent many stu-
dents whose very future hangs upon
the power wielded by your fluent pen.

Might I suggest that there is no
better time than the present to inaugu-
rate the policy of publishing Letters
to the Editor, and opportunity now
knocks.

Thy motto: — stare decisis, et non
quieta movere — junk it, I beg of thee^*
Sincerely,

The Bard of Old Salem
If you don't know me, ask Col. West.

In reply to the Bard, our predecessor
as a columnist, we can say only that
his criticism has somewhere missed
our point . . . We would never destroy
moonshining as a Maryville institu-
tion . We do think, however, that,
no matter how the Powers may have
overlooked some of the fundamental
laws of human nature in restricting
normal men and women to the daytime
use of the central open area of the
campus, public exhibitions nevertheless
are not to be condoned . We were
not to be taken too literally on the
subject of Cincinnati parks, Dave

silverware and broken plates helter skelter over the floor.
They began to blame each other rather vehemently for the
accident and, in a flash of an eyelid, out came the inevitable
razors. •

The banquet hall was thrown into wild confusion,
women and children screamed and covered their eyes;
guests started for the door or dived under the table. One
Kiwanian, who Mr. Colbert said isn't afraid of the "devil
himself," seized a chair and was attempting to strike the
nearest negro over the head when Colbert intervened,
grabbing him by the arm. The man was so angry that he
lifted Colbert's 190 (?) pounds off the floor when he
raised the chair to strike.

The negroes subsided, but the irate guests didn't; they
roundly reviled the hotel manager, swore that they would
never patronize the place again. The climax was capped,
however, when Colbert announced that the whole affair
was a joke, and the Kiwanians wouldn't believe him, said
he was trying to save the hotel manager's "face."

"Yes, the joke worked," Colbert said, "but the trouble
was that it worked too well. By the time everything was
straightened out, most of the guests were gone."

"There was one thing about the affair, though," he
said. "No one had a chance to complain about after-dinner^
speaking that night."

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 17, 1937

There comes a time for farewell a time when the

tellings of the doings of the doers on the sportcampus is
delegated to another. Such will be the case, from now on
henceforth. Thank you all for your kindness and gener-
osity during the past year. To both my friends, all my
readers, and Ogie-Wogie Teague, my critic, I bid farewell,
and Happy Days.

Talmage Lost
To Track Team
For the Season

Maryville college's hopes for a cham-
pionship 1937 track team dropped to
rock bottom last Tuesday morning when
it was discovered that Roy Talmage,
captain of the team, had contracted a
case of the mumps.

This sickness causes a disastrous and
discouraging blow, not only to the
whole track team and Coach Robert C.
Thrower but especially to Roy, for
after leading his team so ably in the
dual meet with the University of Ten-
nessee and after defeating U. T.'s ace
runner, he was pointing towards con-
ference and state honors,
and state honors.

Roy's three main events were the
100 yard dash, quarter mile run, and
the half mile run. Coach Thrower will
have a very difficult time finding any
man to fill the vacancy left by Talmage.

By the time Talmage gets out of the
hospital and in running order, the 1937
track season, the edition of the Scotty
team that he was to have captained,
will be over. Luckily, for both Roy and
the College, he has another year at
Maryville.

Besides being captain of the track
team Roy was captain and coach of the
cross-country team last fall and was
the winner of the five mile race.

After breaking even in the first two
tennis matches of the season, losing
to the University of Tennessee, 5-2,
and winning over Tusculum, 4-3, the
Maryville college tennis team goes on
a road trip next Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, playing ast Tennessee Teachers
and Tusculum, and then meets Centre
college and Carson-Newman, April
23-24.

The East Tennessee Teachers match
next Tuesday will be thfe hardest
match for the Scotties in the Smoky
Mountain conference this year. Coach
George F. Fischbach said that "although
they beat us last yoar, we have a
stronger team than we had in 1936 and
our boys will put in an excellent show-
ing." Maryville, by virtue of her 4-3
victory over Tusculum this past week,
should win that match next Wednesday.

Two Sophomore Students
In Fort Sanders Hospital

Baldwin hall's appendectomy rate has
been increased in April by the opera-
tions of Marie Wright-Sanford and
Neva Mae Ingram, sophomores.

Miss Sanford was taken to Fort San-
ders hospital at Knoxville on April 4.
In spite of an attack of laryngitis this
week, she has been recovering rapidly.

Miss Ingram Was taken to Fort
Sanders on April 11, where she was
operated on immediately. She also is
reported doing well.

John Stafford was elected captain of
next years swimming team at a meet-
ing held last Saturday in the college
pool. Stafford succeeds Bob Clemmer,
captain of the team for the past season.
Prospects for the season of 1938 are
very prosperous since only two mem-
bers of this years squad are planning
to leave college. They are Bob Clemmer,
back-stroker and middle distance man,
and Bill Meeks, ace breast-stroker. The
members of the squad that will pro-
bably return are: Rusty Wicklund, Gale
Hedrick, Bill Radford, "Blondie" Mc-
Enteer, Gene Craine, Bert Chandler,
Irwin Ritzman, Carl Webb, Dick Lowe,
Warren Hilditch, and John Stafford.
With such material as this Stafford
should be able to conduct his teammates
through a very successful season.

At the same meeting, called by Coach
George F. Fishbach, the members of
the varsity organized what will be
known as the "Acquatic Club." The
members adopted a constitution for the
new club and then elected Bill Meeks,
president; John Stafford, vice-president;
Bob Clemmer, treasurer; and, Gene
Craine, secretary. These .officers will
serve for the remainder of the semester.
Membership in the club will not be
restricted to swimming team members
only, but is open to all men. The eligi-
bility rules include knowing at least
three different strokes and two different
dives. The purpose is to promite interest
in the aquatic sports such as water
polo and water baseball. Each indivi-
dual member will endeavor to perfect
his strokes and many of the funda-
mental dives will be taught.

Lose to Carson-Newman,

3-1 ; Win Double Header

Wednesday

Erwin Ritzman, when in high school,
was president of the a capella choir
which was three times awarded first
place in Pennsylvania state contests.

After winning two of their first three
games, the Scot baseballers were forced
out of action last week by inclement
weather. Games with Hiwassee at
Madisonville Tuesday and here Thurs-
day were called off on account of wet
grounds.

In their season-opening frays last
Monday and Tuesday the Scots took
the measure of Northern Illinois, 7-3
and 3-2.

The feature of the game on Monday
was the five-innings of no-hit pitching
delivered by Rip Collins, who struck
out nine of the visiting batsmen before
giving way to Ralph Ashby in the
sixth. Junior Odell paced the Scot
sluggers with a double and triple.

Sweeping the series with a 3-2 win
on Tuesday, Maryville again turned up
with an unbeatable pitching perfor-
mance. This time it was Don Parker,
making his debut on the mound, who
set the Bobcats back on their ears.
Parker's righthand slants resulted in a
total of four hits, two walks, and fif-
teen strikeouts for the Teachers. Glen
Evers, Al Burris, and Bill Swearingen
contributed two-base knocks to the
Scot cause.

Two Wins From
Cumberland

After dropping a 3-1 decision to The
Carson-Newman Eagles Tuesday, the
Scot baseballers came back to take a
twin bill from the Cumberland Bull-
dogs on Wednesday.

The pitching of Ramsey, Eagle chun-
ker, seemed to have the Highlanders
mystified after the first inning, in
which they registered their lone run.
Carson-Newman made two in the fourth
and added another in the seventh for
good measure.

yynm WE IMPROVE QUALITY-that's fine. When we reduce cost—
that's fine, too.- When we do both— when we improve quality
and reduce cost— then that's a bargain, and it's the best of all.

Transportation is a bargain today on our modern-minded railroads, for
it is vastly better than it has ever been before, and its cost is less than
at any other time in modern history. We of the Illinois Central System
are proud of the present merchandising situation of the railroads, to
which we have largely contributed.

You can travel fast, safely and in style today at 2 cents a mile and

less, with low- cost meals at your

seats, free pillows, air-conditioning,

courteous attention to your needs

— everything designed for your

comfort and to please you.

Your freight will travel faster and
better, too, and be handled in more
convenient style — and still the aver-
age rate collected on all freight will
be slightly less than 1 cent per ton
per mile, which is not quite four-
fifths of the 1921 average.

A CONTEST . . .

Four cash pri^s, ranging from $100
to $25 and totaling $250, will be
awarded studofit readers of our ad-
vertisements in colleges and univer-
sities throughout the Middle West
and South for typewritten essays of
from 300 to 500 words on "What I
Like Best in Modern Railroading—
and Why." The closing date will be
May 10, awards by June 1. Address
me at Chicago for reference material
and to submit your essays.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL SYSTEM

A TENNESSEE RAILROAD

Wednesday, became the first conference
victim of the Honakermen, falling by
scores of 7-4 and 6-2. In the first game
the Scots, tho outhit nine to six,
bunched their blows sufficiently to
secure a seven run total. Bulldog errors
also proved a help.

In the six-inning nightcap the Scottie
batsmen showed flashes of the form
expected of them this season. They
poled out 12 ringing blows in their five
innings at bat, with three going to
Don Parker. The four hit pitching of
Nig Wilburn was also a pleasing item.

By FRED RHODY

In spite of the student council's
swing toward liberalism, as evidenced
by its recently upholding by a 5-4 de-
cision the Shady Corner bill extending
moonshining 'till seven o'clock, Presi-
dent Luminati will push his plan to
appoint six new members. "The pre-
sent council members,'' says Prexy,
"are all over seventeen, and the old
fogies are too feeble and conservative
to keep pace with my plans to
ameliorate conditions for the devotees
of Luna. I intend to add six men who
will Interpret liberally the Rules and
Regulations which were made by our
forefathers living under different con-
ditions, and which do not meet our
present campus needs." He denies, how-
ever, that he is "packing" the council,
asserting that the council members are
already nothing but stuffed shirts.

Cheerful little orchid
Form the slopes of IraxU,
My fancy sees again the spot
Where you grew.

Above you, smouldering crater
Set in aches brown.
Below you, clouds and valley
And the little town.

Amid those lichened boulders,
Amid those twisted roots,
You started your existence;
You sent your tender shoots.

How strong your toughened tendrils
Withstand the wind so cold!
What courage, in your fastness,
Displays your heart of gold!

Crown of garnet petals —
Ruffled orange throat—
Upon a swaying stalklet
How brave your blossoms float!

Alma Mater spirit

On mountain side afar!

I will send your story

To those whose type you are.

And thus, in other highlands,
You'll give your word anew,
Your word of hope and courage
From the slopes of Irazu.

Having compiled a .500 percentage
thus far in the week's competition, the
Scots are to engage the Kentucky State
Teachers today in an attempt to climb
above an even break in their five
games.

The Highlanders, following a double
defeat administered to the Cumberland
Lawyers, dropped their second one
yesterday to the Carson-Newman
Eagles, 12-5.

In next week's games their foes will
be Hiwassee and Mars Hill, both junior
college outfits but worthy opposition
nonetheless.

Coach D. R. Youell will pit his
Hiwasseeans against the Honakermen
at Madisonville Monday in a clash that
has been rained out twice previously.

The Mars Hill aggregation is slated
to appear on the local diamond for

SHOES...MAIN FLOOR

A bright color accessory for your
new white suit is one of the multi-
colored wooden bead bags in Mexican
design. Their gay colors would also
give a lift to a dark outfit. You can
get them at Proffitt's on the main floor.
They have them in white, too, and in
delicate pastels. There is any size you
desire, and almost any shape. I saw
round ones, rectangular ones, octagonal
ones, as well as the popular pouch, and
the new basket type. There are also on
display some new white bags of simu-
lated leather, in the popular sizes and
shapes. One with a handle of red or
navy was particularly eye-catching . . .
The cosmetic manufacturers are making
this matter of good grooming as easy
for us as possible. A new manicure
outfit by Cutex is novel in its arrange-
ment for quickness and ease of appli-
cation. Another welcome innovation is
a new product put out by the Kleenex
people called lipstick tissues, which are
small and easy to carry in your purse.

Here's good news for those who like
the comfort of crepe soled shoes.
Proffitt's now have a lot of sport
shoes made by the United
States Rubber Company, the well-
known manufacturers of Keds and
Gaytees. These smart, comfortable, in-
expensive, but colorful shoes are called
Kedettes, and are as easy on your feet
as they are on your pocketbook. See
them at Proffitt's, and don't forget to
look at the sandals while you are there.

Up la the Ready-to- Wear Department,
there is going to be a special sale on
felt and straw hate. It will be a field
day for those, of you who cant resist
a bargain, for there is also a sale of
wash ureases. The great variety of
colors, styles, and materials makes this
sale a really distinctive one. There are
sheer voiles, dotted flaxons, crash nets,
linens, and printed cottons, in clever
tailored styles.

For roller skating, hikes, or tennis, the
sporting thing is slacks. They are neat,
casual and nothing is more comfortable.
You can get them at Proffitt's, in
several colors and styles. The Ginger
Rogers two-piece outfits are very
attractive. If you like divided skirts,
see the wool jersey short slacks. There
are all types of sport shirts, from linen
to wool, in brilliant spring colors, and
comfortable styles.

A new shipment of Palm Beach Suits
should be of great interest to all men.
They are being shown in Proffitt's
Men's Department, along with other
men's wear. The new ties will give
men an opportunity to go colorful.

Colbert Directs
"Elijah" Oratorio
By Mendelssohn

Palmer, Barber, McArthur

Cusworth Sing Solos

In Production

Mendelssohn's famous oratorio,
"Elijah," will be sung by the Vesper
choir under the direction of Ralph R.
Colbert tomorrow afternoon at three
p. m.

Solo parts are being taken by mem-
bers of the choir. Don McArthur, bass,
will sing the titular role; Robert .Cus-
worth, the tenor character, Obadiah,
Harriet Barber, the angel, and Calista
Palmer, the youth.

Choir Sings Nine Choruses

The choir, accompanied by Zula
Vance and Ruth Mack, will sing nine
choruses from the oratorio, including
the great "Baal, hear and answer," and
"He watching over Israel," both pieces
of special strength and beauty. The solo,
"It is enough," by Don McArthur, is
considered by critics to be among the
greatest solos of any oratorio, while
Bob Cusworth's "If with all your
hearts," and Harriet Barber's "Or rest
in the Lord," are among the outstand-
ing solos of this work.

Is Great Oratorio

The "Elijah" is included among the
triad of the world's greatest oratorios,
the others being Haydn's "Creation,"
and the "Messiah" of Handel. It was
Mendelssohn's last large work, and was
composed in the full maturity of his
musical development. He conducted its
premier in Birmingham in 1846, and
was met with outstanding success. Its

Requirements For Magna

Cum Laude, Cum Laude

Are Restated

At a meeting of the faculty Thursday
afternoon a revised plan for relating
grades on comprehensive examinations
to averages was completed, and a re-
statement of requirements for Magna
Cum Laude and Cum Laude recogni-
tion. The release from Dr. Edwin R.
Hunter, director of curriculum is as
follows:
The following revision of the plan
for relating performance on the
Comprehensive Examination to
the student's record in his course
work is proposed to avoid confu-
sion in the keeping of our records
and in the statement of the mini-
mum quality and quantity re-
quirements for graduation. The
basic act of revision is in making
the C grade the point of departure
for taking superior grades as in-
creasing one's quality record and
inferior grades as reducing it. This
finds its logical justification in the
fact that C is the grade level set
as the minimum standard for gra-
duation and that course grades
above that level increase the stu-
dent's probability of graduation
and grades below that level re-
duce it.
The revised scale is here given:

British lecturer, writer, and political
leader, will speak here next Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, under the
auspices of the Institute of International
Education.

A member of the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, Dr. Darvall is
considered an authority upon world
political affairs. He is one of eight pro-
minent men who have been chosen to
lecture in selected American colleges
and universities. Five of these come
from Great Britain, one from Germany,
one from France, and one from Syria.
Dr. Darvall, during his tour, will visit
twelve southern colleges.

Because of his prominence in English
political affairs, Dr. Darvall has twice
been nominated as candidate for Parli-
ment on the Liberal party ticket. His
knowledge of the English situation was
recognized recently when he lectured
for the Columbia broadcasting system
on the crisis attending the abdication
of King Edward VIII.

Dr. Darvall published in March a
book of his authorship entitled "The
Price of European Peace." Some of his
lecture subjects include "Can Europe
Keep the Peace?", "What Is Wrong
with the League of Nations?" and "Can
a Great Nation Be Neutral in a Major
Modern Way?"

Dr. Darvall will speak in chapel and
give informal talks to classes and com-
bined class groups in economics and
political science.

lome Ec. House Prepares Women For Permanent Jobs

By FRED RHODY

'Mid budgets and laundry soap
Though they may roam,

Home ec. majors still think
That there's no place like Home.

At any rate, after spending the re-
quired three weeks in the Home Man-
agement house, the home economics
women appear even more eager that
ever to acquire the supreme requisite
to any home (i. e., a husband), and go
into the business on a permanent basis.

"Visitors welcome from three -thirty
to four-thirty." Your reporter rang the
bell at four o'clock and found the wash-
ing machine doing the laundry in the
kitchen, while Charlotte King strenu-

ously read a book in the living room.

Just inside the door of the apartment,
which is situated in the rear of Thaw
hall, are the large, airy rooms in which
live Miss Gertrude E. Meiselwitz and
Miss Mary R. Armstrong, professors of
the home economics department.

Farthei down the hall, a comfort-
ably furnished living room branches off
to the left. Deeply upholstered chairs,
a radio, thick rugs, soft lights, and
plenty of books and magazines make
this a favorite room with the young
housekeepers.

Beyond is the dining room, with
highly polished table and simple fur-
nishings. The visitor looked in vain for
the chair which collapsed during a

recent meal, depositing Miss Armstrong
on the floor.

A huge pantry, used for housing
chinaware and general storage pur-
poses, opens from the dining room.
Across the hallway is the kitchen, con-
veniently equipped with electric re-
frigerator, stools, shelves, sink, tables.
A smaller pantry opening from the
kitchen contains cooking utensils and
food.

The students' bedroom lies across the
hall from the living room. Amazing
proof of Miss King's housekeeping
ability was demonstrated when she
opened for the reporter's inspection
the closet in the bedroom. According

Because of the growing sentiment for
international peace felt by college stu-
dents everywhere, a national peace pro-
gram setting aside one day in the month
of April has been ordained by students
of many colleges. Thursday morning
in chapel Maryville college presented
its program under the sponsorship
of the Student council and the Peace
forum when Dr. William L. Berst, a
medical missionary to China for the
past 30 years, spoke of "Peace in the
Far East."

Mr. Berst spoke of General Chiang
Kai-Shek as contributor of peace to
the orient. In 1927 Kai-Shek ' fought
against the Soviet Russian evasion, and
while fighting he formed a new organ-
ized government for the Chinese people.
Within a few years, according to Dr.
Berst, he earned the complete confi-
dence of the Chinese people so that
they were willing to follow him any-
where and everywhere.

Last year Kai-Shek was kidnapped,
and the entire nation rose as one against
his kidnappers. This brought the
Chinese people closer together, and at
the time of his release all minds were
with him, and many people agreed
with his plan of peace for all nations.
Kai-Shek is now in favor of peace with
Japan and is continually attempting to
negotiate it, but because of the militar-
ists he is unable as yet to effect his
plans. Dr. Berst concluded his address
by making a plea for America to co-
operate with China in forming an
international peace movement.

The peace program which will con-
tinue at various times during the com-
ing week will be culminated by a series
of lectures concerning international
affairs given by Dr. Frank O. Darvall,
noted lecturer and graduate of the
University of London.

Miller, Critic,
To Discuss Plays

Malcolm Miller, principal critic of
music and drama in East Tennessee,
will discuss his experience in seeing
Shakespeare's plays in the modern
theater before advanced students in
English and dramatics and others in-
terested, next Wednesday evening.

Mr. Miller writes a weekly column,
"Music and Drama," for a Knoxville
press, and is a promoter of good en-
tertainment in this section. He will
bring his impressions of the two pro-
ductions of "Hamlet" current in New
York during the past season, and of
other interpretations of Shakespeare
he has seen.

The meeting will begin at 7:30, in
'the Philosophy classroom.

A varsity team, Mary Frances Ooten
and Helen Maguire, took first place in
the women's division of the Southern
Atlantic Forensic tournament held in
Nashville last Tuesday and Wednesday.
The men's team, Ray Nelson and Walter
West, won three of their five contests.

Louise Proffitt, freshman orator and
extempore speaker, placed second in
women's extempore speaking. Because
of previously winning two firsts in
other' meets with her oration on
"Personality," she was barred from
participating in women's oratory.

Walter West reached the finals in
men's extempore, but the squad found
it necessary to return to Maryville
before the finals were run off. Curt-
marie Brown, sophomore speaker,
placed second in the state peace oratori-
cal contest, and third in the all-
Southern oratorical contest.

Colleges from eleven states attended
the tournament, sponsored by the
Southern Association of Teachers of
Speech. Seven members of Maryville's
varsity squad attended: Helen Maguire,
Mary Frances Ooten, Curtmarie Brown,
Richard Schlafer, Ray Nelson, Walter
West, a'nd Donald Hallam.

After hearing a concert of the Phila-
delphia Symphony orchestra the squad
returned to Maryville, arriving at 5:30
Thursday morning.

Ministerials Hold
Annual Banquet

The Ministerial association climaxed
its year with the annual banquet last
Tuesday evening. Dr. John A. McAfee,
pastor of the New Providence Presby-
terian church, was the principal speak-
er at the dinner which was served by
ladies of the church in the church's
social hall.

Dr. Horace E. Orr, head of the Bible
department, was toastmaster. He intro-
duced the various participants in the
program which had as its theme "Come
to the Fair." In keeping with that spirit
Lilian Borgquist opened the program
by singing a selection entitled "Come
to the Fair." Others who took part
were William Karukas, who discussed
both sides of the subject of moonshin-
ing; Gloria Miller, who gave a read-
ing; and the association quartet.

Ralph Hand, president of the associ-
ation, presided over the banquet. The
committee which planned it was com-
posed of Evan Renne, Malcolm Brown,
and Edward Thomas.

Miss Henry Returns

By WALTER P. WEST

The largest ticket sale in recent
years, except that for Hofmann, be-
tokens a capacity crowd for the con-
cert of Julius Huehn, young metro-
politan baritone, which will take place
in Voorhees chapel on the evening of
April 27, at 8:00. The young singer
comes to Maryville college on his con-
cert tour begun a few weeks ago
after appearing with the Metropolitan
Opera company on tour in Philadel-
phia, Boston, Baltimore and other
cities of the east. •

Huehn, who was born less than
thirty years ago in Massachusetts, has
lived most of his life in Pittsburg. He
has a particular appeal t<$ college
students, having not been long out
of college himself. He financed his
education at Carnegie Institute of
Technology by firing boilers.
Played in Jazz Band

His musical interest first was be-
trayed by his interest in a jazz band,
in which he played a saxophone. He
won an Atwater-Kent radio audition,
and a fellowship to the Julliard
School of Music. From this famous old
New York institution, he went direct-
ly to the Metropolitan some three
seasons ago. During the past season,
he has been one of the most popular
of the leads in the company, especially
for some of the difficult Wagnerian
operas.

Includes Wide Repertoire

Included on Huehn's program will
be some of the best known composi-
tions for baritones. "Der Musensohn"
by Schubert and "Ich trage meine
Minne" by Strauss will be part of the
second group on the program. In the

Peace Forum Hears
Medical Missionary

Berst is Father of Two
Maryville Students

Miss Clemmie Jane Henry, director
of Student Help, will return today
from Washington after a week's ab-
sence. Miss Henry attended the National
Congress of the D. A. R., where she
gave a talk on the Rotating Loan
fund of the college. The fund was
originated last year by the Student
Help office with its objective $40,000. of
which $6,000 has been paid.

Dr. William L. Berst, medical mis-
sionary from China and father of two
Maryville college students, spoke before
the Peace Forum held last evening in
the Philosophy classroom. Dr. Berst,
one of the Church's outstanding repre-
sentatives in the mission field, discuss-
ed conditions as they exist today in the
Far East. "One of China's greatest mis-
fortunes," said Dr. Berst, "is its domi-
nation by war-lords, who are re-
sponsible for much of the country's
unrest." His description of several of
the better of these men whom he has
known personally, showed a deep in-
sight into their characters and appli-
cation of their finer qualities.

One of the most significant events of
the past decade, according, to Dr. Berst,
was the abduction of General Chiang
Kai-Shek, the result of which, how-
ever, was a greater unification of the
country than could have been brought
about in ten years under normal con-
ditions.

Concerning Japan, Dr. Berst confirm-
ed her much publicized need of land
because of over-population. She wants
land in China because she needs iron
and cotton.

Civiilization was described by Dr.
Berst as progressing with new methods
of warfare, modern armies, and modern
means of communication, including
new roads, airlines, and steamship lines
on the rivers leading into the interior.

Dr. Berst closed his discussion by ex-
pressing his own feeling that China to-
day throws out a challenge to the
college people in America.

ARTISTS' SERIES

A liberal arts college has as its primary purpose the
providing of a general cultural background, which is an
aid and near-requisite to any happy and worthwhile life.
For the promotion of this ideal Maryville college initiated
over a quarter of a century ago what is now known as the
Artists' series. These programs have advanced from second-
rate plays and sleight-of-hand performances to the present
series bringing artists who have won world-wide recogni-
tion for their ability and excellence.

A nominal sum included in our general fees has given
every student the opportunity to hear truly great artists.
On Tuesday evening Julius Huehn, distinguished baritone
of the Metropolitan, will appear in concert as the con-
cluding number on this year's Series. Let us present an
audience in number and attention worthy of his talent.

WHIMPERINGS

Childish whinings from self-termed over-worked stu-
dents seem unfortunately to be associated with anv college
campus, but at this time of year do they become more
unbearable by their frequency. Readily do we admit that
the last few weeks of the college year are always the
hardest, with rehearsals, parties, term papers, sports, and
exams taking up much time.

But as a general rule those who yelp the loudest do
the least. The truly overworked leaders and organizers
rarely waste their time bemoaning the amount of work
awaiting them, but doggedly add to their over-crowded
schedule the work selfishly rejected by those who claim
"to have so much to do."

It is time that we substituted accomplishment in the
place of our trite expression of self pity.

3jf ollowing the worthy example of one of the bookish
*^ periodicals which has instituted a column of reviews of
books which are no longer new— not classics, but those
hardy survivors of the ephemeral best-seller lists of say
ten years ago — the Cntick read again a work which was
hailed with the greatest enthusiasm when published in
1930 (it ran through three printings in the first three
months of its existence) and which upon the appearance
of its author's next work five years later, was remembered
with even greater experiences of critical admiration. The
book is "The Woman of Andros" and the author, of course,
Thorton Wilder.

Reviews contemporary with its publication were almost
extravagant in their reception of "The Woman of
Andros." No less a judge than Henry Seidel Canby called
it "the quiet, perfectly finished meditation of a scholar in
literature, philosophic, slight in narrative, and yet touched
with a fire of beauty, and raised by a fine imagination to
an understandng that is more than esthetic and intellec-
tual." Dr. Canby was also among those who ushered in
the latest of Wilder's books, upon which occasion he
found time to hark back to that "minor masterpiece" of
a few years before as a "moral apologue, skillfully dis-
guised as story telling, and indeed enriched by incidental
and contributary stories which are admirable story telling.

And if we may be indulged to the extent of some very
personally prejudiced and hence unreliable prophecy,
twenty or thirty years from now will see "The Woman of
Andros" in a quiet place on the top shelf of America's
best literature, and Thorton Wilder precariously poised
on the edge of the seat of a literary immortal.
77T he attributes of "The Woman of Andros" are many,
™ and have given reviewers of the past manifold oppor-
tunity to air their choicest and most involved abstractions,
with conclusions that would make of it a one volume
Greek philosophy and manual of "the way of life;" but
two characteristics above all else recommend it to the
normal reader. "Simplicity," in all its pitjable triteness, is
a formidable charge to bring against any man's work, but
no other word comes to mind so peculiarly applicable. The
book possesses a simplicity such as is supposed to per-
vade the best of the Greek drama, to which, incidentally
Mr. Wilder is more than superficially indebted, having
based his plot upon a play of Terence who in turn based
his work on two dramas, now lost, by Menander. Mr.
Wilder's approach is through the idea; characterization is
not of first importance, consequently an atmosphere of
quiet dignity and idyllic calm leaves a stormy impression
and is one of his most effective devices.
rrr he one quality of his writing in general, and this book
^ in particular, which will contribute most to whatever
position he may eventually occupy in American letters
the finished beauty of his prose. Whether he is a narrator
or a philosopher or a dramatists may be debatable points,
but it must be agreed that he is a writer worthy his craft.
The opening lines

"The earth sighed as it turned in its course; the
shadow of night crept gradually along, the
Mediterranean, and Asia was left in darkness.
The great cliff that was one day to be called Gib-
raltar held for a long time a gleanr of red and
orange, while across from it the mountains of
Atlas showed deep blue pockets in their Shininf
Sides Triumph had passed from Greece and

wisdom from Egypt, but with the coming of night
they seemed to regain their lost honors, and the
land that was soon to be called Holy prepared in
the dark its wonderful burden. The sea was large
enough to hold a varied weather: a storm played
about Sicily and its smoking mountains, but at the
mouth of the Nile the water lay like a wet pave-
ment. A fair tripping breeze ruffled the Aegean and
all the islands of Greece felt a new freshness at the
close of day."
are magnificent. Their consumate artistry cannot be denied.
And no# more, I thing, can Thorton Wilder be denied a
place among the forefront of living novelists.

With a new editor in the saddle we
think it not amiss to toss a parting
bouquet to Bernice Gaines for the many
improvements she has wrought this year,
in spite of the chronic critics who are
always with us . . . The creation of
new features, the enlarging of the
paper, and a marked improvement in
journalistic mechanics are all to her
credit.

FITS AND FIZZLES

By FRED RHODY

Gray's Elegy: Revised Version

The curfew tolls the knell of moonshine sport,
The lowing pairs wind slowly toward the hall.

(When Watchman and Dan Cupid run athwart,
Love's Champion is the loser in the brawl).

Full many a maid of fairest face serene

The dark, unlighted paths of campus dots;

Full many a beau, with patient, dog-like mein,
Looks in her eyes, and by his lady trots.

Some campus Romeo with ice cream cones
His little Juliet for her heart entreats,

Some Robert Taylor's handsome pan atones,

Some girls fall 'specially hard for ath-a-letes.

Y. W. Cabinet Has Dinner

The eabinet of the Y. W. C. A. held an informal
dinner last evening in the Y. W. rooms to make plans
for next year. Each committee chairman gave an out-
line of what she hoped to do in her work during
her term. Clara Dale Echols, president of the
women's organization, planned the affair. Approxi-
mately twenty-six women comprise the cabinet.

Let not our cold hearts mock their love-chargedsighs,
Their whispered vows of how much each one loves,

Nor sneering cynics with disdainful eyes,
Disturb the shy and simple turtledoves.

But let. with dirges due in sad array,

Slow to the church-yard lovers all be bom:

And plant them 'neath six feet of solid clay,

While sane folk stand around the grave and mourn.

And let the marble slab above them read:

"They died in mind when Cupid's arrow sped."

Let all men therefore from this tale take heed,
Are you in love? You're just as good as dead.

HOME EC. HOUSE

(Continued from page one)
to statistics, only one in skeen-teen
hundred students dared open his closet
during the recent epidemic of open
house receptions.

Normally, there are two students at
the house. Their duties include doing
the marketing, planning and cooking
the meals, and keeping the house clean
and in order. In their spare time they
attend classes.

While one student plays cook for
a week or ten days, the other is hostess;
then they change about. Each one is
required to serve a formal dinner dur-
ing the three-week period, with faculty
members as guests. A tea is given
every six weeks, two groups combining
to serve.

Twenty-six dollars is the sum allotted
to provide meals for ten days for the
two students and two faculty members.
The, menu for each meal must be posted
before the meal is prepared, possibly
to discourage the practice of making
dishes and then guessing what they
are. Beside the menu as planned is a
space for a description of the meal as
it actually turns out.

Recently mistaking the doorbell for
the telephone bell, Alice Timblin
angrily shouted, "Hello, hello," into the
mouthpiece, while the guest stepped
uncertainly into the room.

The experience derived from living
in the practice house is undoubtedly
beneficial, but it absolutely ignores
some of the most vital problems of real
housekeeping, such as how to keep
the butcher from discovering your
new address, or how to train your
husband to put on an apron before he
j washes the dishes.

The seventh annual meeting and
banquet of the Atlantic Highlanders
was held April 10, 1937, in the colonial
dining-room of the Westminster Choir
school, in Princeton, N. J. There were
91 persons present, the largest number
ever to attend such a meeting. Repre-
sentatives came from the New York,
Reading, Washington, and Philadelphia
areas — all of whom were either alumni
members of Maryville college or alumni
members "by adoption."

For a period of two months a pro-
gram committee under the capable
leadership of Michael P. Testa, '34, had
been working for this occasion. The
toastmaster was the Rev. J. H. Laster,
'30, the retiring president. The program
opened with the invocation given by the
Rev. Donald Mackenzie of Princeton,
N. J., and the singing of "Dear Old
Maryville." An original skit was pre-
sented by William Hannah, '33. The
vocal music was provided by Mr. and
Mrs. R. P. Jensen, '28. An imitation
broadcast entitled "Maryville On the
Air" followed. Several violin selections
were rendered by Glover A. Leitch,
'36 with James M. Crothers, '34 at
the piano.

Dr. Howard M. Morgan, of Philadel-
phia, was the speaker of the .evening.
He gave an account of his visit to
Maryville college at the time of the
February meetings. Following the ad-
dress, Dr. John W. Ritchie, '78, intro-
duced Maryville's new hymn, entitled,
"Firm, Firm She Stands." Dr. Ritchie
will be remembered as the author of
the Alma Mater and as the recipient
of an honorary degree from Maryville
college, June 1936.

A business meeting followed at which
Dr. Vincent T. Shipley, '12, serving as
chairman of the nominating committee
reported the following officers:

Mr. Homer E. McCann, '32, of Wash-
ington, D. C, as president to succeed
the Rev. J. Hayden Laster, '30, of
Aberdeen, Md.; Miss Barbara Lyle, '31,
of Philadelphia, Pa., as vice-president
to succeed Miss Marguerite McClena-
ghan, '08, of Princeton, N. J.; William
F. MacCalmont, '36, of Princeton, N. J.,
as secy-treas to succeed Michael P.
Testa, '34, of Princeton, N. J.

Impromptu contributions and Mary-
ville news items were heard, and after
the singing of the Alma Mater, Dr.
John Grant Newman of Philadelphia
led in prayer and the meeting was ad-
journed until 1938.

The Men's Glee Singers will present
on the evening of May 1 at the chapel

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 24, 1937

It's Here Again

Well it's here at last summer, we mean. And what of it, you say?

Well it's one way of starting a column.

All about us on the beautiful greensward of Maryville's sun-bathed
campus we see evidence of the change from moonshining to sun -shining
or maybe we should say addition.

The tennis courts are full throughout the week, and on Sunday the
grass back of the dorms is covered with scantily clad sun-worshippers.

Only one shadow dampens our summery ardor . . . It's the lack of a
pome suitable for publication.

Scots Unbeaten
In This Week's
Baseball Warfare

Highlanders Take Three

From Hiwassee and

Mars Hill

Look Out, Coach

Add to your list of agreeable sports surprises the sudden improvement
shown by Fred Tulloch in shoving the 16-pound shot for Coach Thrower's
tracksters.

His heave of thirty-seven feet eleven inches in the LMU meet, while
it is still more than three feet short of Coach Bob's college record, surpasses
any of Fred's previous efforts by at least a foot.

If he continues to improve at the same rate throughout the season
Freshman Fred is a good bet to add a new mark for future Scots to shoot at.

The present record, set in 1925 by Coach Thrower, is 41 feet 1 1-2 inches

Business Picking Up

"Take a team from the old ladies home and put 'Carson-Newman' on
their uniforms and they would beat us" (or words to that effect), Coach L.
S. Honaker informs his baseball team after absorbing two successive lickings
from Holt's Eagles.

Be that as it may, the Scottie diamondites are looking better this week.
Maybe it's the class of the opposition that accounts for it, but the fact remains —
they looked much more like the expected SMC title contender in their victories
over Hiwassee and Mars Hill. (This is written before the second Mars Hill fray
. . . the Carolinians may make us look bad).

The Honakermen have a very presentable record thus far. They hold
seven games, which is not at all bad. With Lefty Hernandez back on first and
freshman Nig Wilburn in shape to take a regular turn on the mound, opposing
teams are in for some tough sledding in the Scots' dozen remaining games.

Hitting has been the main drawback to a good season. With that
problem seemingly in the process of solution, the diamond situation takes on
a more rosy hue.

Coach L. S. Honaker's diamondites
hung up their third victory of the week
and their second straight over Mars
Hilli yesterday, as Scot bats rang
merrily to the tune of a 10 to 1 triumph.

The thirteen-hit attack on Drothers,
Carolina hurler, was led by Glen Evers
and Don Parker, each poling a home-
run. Evers' four base lick came in the
first inning, scoring Bill Swearingen
and giving the Scots their fourth run.

Parker's blow, scoring Black ahead,
came in the next frame, running the
score to 6-0. This early lead was held
all the way by the Honakermen, and
allowed them to coast to their eighth
win of the campaign.

Seniors Rehearse
Anderson Drama

Rehearsals were begun last Wednes-
day for the senior play, "Mary of
Scotland", which is to be presented
June 5 as part of the commencement
activities. The cast of |wenty-two/
showed that they had been well chosen,
according to Virginia Pennington, stage
manager.

"Mary of Scotland" is the second
historical drama by Maxwell Anderson
to be presented on the Voorhees stage
this year. The story centers around
the attempts of Catholic Mary to unite
and rule her Protestant nation. From
the very first she is opposed by her
half brother, James Stuart, and the
head of the Scottish Presbyterian
church, John Knox. Her conflicts with
them culminate in her dearh at the
hands of her cousin, Elizabeth of Eng-
land.

Coach Bob Thrower's trackmen open
the home season here today as they
engage the strong Davidson Wildcats
in a dual meet.

Remembering previous defeats ad-
ministered to Scot wrestling and track
teams by these same Cats, the local
talent is prepared to give all in an
effort to square things with the Caro-
linians.

Chances of a Maryville victory, how-
ever, seem a bit remote in view of the
fact that comparison of 1937 achieve-
ments of the two teams give Davidson
a small but fairly safe edge.

Some of the Scots rating a good
chance to win are "Monk" Myers, in
the pole vault; Jim Etheredge in the
high jump; Guy Propst in the broad
jump; and "Speed" Savitski in the
hundred.

Propst, Tulloch, and Baird in the
weight events, Orr and Dowell in the
hurdles, and Fish, Morgan, Baird,
Mooney, and Rugh in the running
events should be good for points.

Davidson presents a well-balanced
outfit and one which, tho not as strong
as the Tennessee Vols, is fully capable
of adding to the worries of Coach
Thrower, who lost a big chunk of his
team when Roy Talmage wend down
under a siege of mumps recently.

Scottie Tennisnien
Win Two, Lose One

5-0 Shut Out by Teachers
Mars Week's Play

Winning two of three matches dur-
ing the past week, the Maryville col-
lege tennis team was scheduled to meet
Carson-Newman college this afternoon
in another Smoky Mountain conference
game, but the match was rained out.

Yesterday afternoon the Scotties de-
feated Centre college of Kentucky, 5-2.
And on the road trip last Tusday and
Wednesday the Highlanders broke even,
defeating Tusculum, 2-0, in a match
that was almost rained out, and los-
ing to East Tennessee Teachers, 5-0, in
a match that rained out the doubles.

The Scotties have another chance to
beat East Tennessee on the road trip
next week. They will also meet Union
university, L. M. U., and Centre.

The summary of the Maryville-
Centre match:

Coleman (C) beat Morrow (M) 6-2,
6-2; Gillingham (M) beat Patten (C)
6-4, 6-3; Rodman (C) beat Augenstein
(M) 2-6, 6-4, 6-2; Colombo (M) beat
Check (C) 6-0; 6-0; Meeks (M) beat
May (C) 6-4; 4-6, 6-4; Gillingham and
Morrow (M) beat Coleman and Patten
(C) 10-8, 6-0; Colombo and Augenstein
(M) beat Rodman and May (C) 6-2,
6-2.

The summary of the Maryville-
Tusculum match:

Morrow (M) beat Curtin (T) 6-4, 7-5;
Augenstein (M) beat Hazen (T) 7-5;
6-4.

The summary of Maryville-East Ten-
nessee Teachers match:

Bullington (T) beat Morrow (M) 6-3,
6-2; Robinette (T) beat Gillingham (M)
9-7, 6-3; Boyer (T) beat Augenstein
(M) 6-2, 4-6, 6-3; Sherrod (T) beat
Colombo (M) 3-6, 6-2, 6-0; Burton (T)
beat Jewett (M) 6-3, 6-3. '

After failing to meet Carson-Newman
this afternoon because of rain, the
Mary v pie college tennis team will
make a four-day road trip, strating
Monday morning, meeting four colleges
in Tennessee and Kentucky.

Coach George Fischbach's racque-
teers, who have a record of three wins
and two losses so far this season, will
have a chance to increase the volume
of their victory column next week on
the road trip when they meet East Ten-
nessee Teachers, Centre colelge, in
Kentucky, Union university, and Lin-
coln Memorial university.

The Scotties will have another chance
to defeat' East Tennessee Teachers,
which have not yet this season been
beaten, next Monday. The Tachers team
is hte only Smoky Mountain confer-
ence team that has beaten Maryville
this year. Last Tuesday they trounced
the Scotties, 5-0, in a match where the
doubles were rained out.

Coach Fischbach and the members of
the team are rather optimistic about
the matches next week. "We will run
into a little trouble with East Tennes-
see," says Fischbach, "but we should
win the majority of the matches."

Those making the four-day trip in-
clude Ted Gillingham, Frank Morrow,
Keith Augenstein, Wandp Cqfombo,
and Bill Meeks.

Swimming Tests Held

In Point System

Swimming tests for the point system
classes have been held twice during the
past week. On Thursday evening the
last one was completed. These tests
have included swimming 1 length of
pool backstroke, 2 lengths breast stroke,
2 lengths crawl or free style, treading
water for 2 minutes, surface diving,
plain front dive, plain back dive, and
jack knife. Fifty points is the most
that can be obtained by any girl.

The baseball tournament which end-
ed the middle of April was won by the
junior-senior team. They defeated their
opponents in three out of six games.

Track tests will be held on Tuesday
and Thursday.

The point system classes end on May
1st when the points for each girl will
be added and letters awardt ' in the
latter part of May.

Fourteen first places out of fifteen
events enabled the Maryville thinly -
clads to trample Lincoln Memorial at
Harrogate last Saturday.

The 94-37 victory was the first of
the season for the Throwermen, who
lost their opening meet to Tennessee
April 11.

High point man for the affair was
Weldon Baird, who took first in the 440
and mile, second in the discus, and third
in the javelin and shot, in addition to
running anchor on the winning relay
team.

Guy Propst and Zigmund Savitski
also annexed first place in two events.

The performai.ee of the whole Scot
team was entirely satisfactory for early
season competition. Especially notable
were the performances in the shot
put, pole vault, and century. Fresh-
man Fred Tulloch looms as a distinct
threat to Coach Thrower's record in
the shot after taking that event with
a 37 foot 11 inch shove in the second
meet of his short track career. Monk
Myers came up to expectations with a
mark of 11 feet 4 inches in the vault,
and Savitski eclipsed his previous
efforts in taking the hundred in 10.2. '

Baker Concludes
Lecture Series

Photographs of Portraits
Compared to Paintings

Mr. Daniel S. Baker concluded his
series of lectures on the portraits in the
Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Memorial Art
gallery with a discussion of photographs
of portraits, showing the superiority
of paintings over the photographs.

For illustrations Mr. Baker used both
paintings and photographs of his son,
at the age of four, of Edwin Markham,
the great poet, of the Baroness du Gabe,
and of Mrs. James Barton Bell.

Mr. Baker also discussed his wife's
portraits of the wealthy Nash family of
Omaha, the daughter of former Chief
Justice Miller, Mrs. Lucy Clarkson,
with her young son; Welcott H. John-
son, of Baltimore, and Mrs. J. M.
Metcalf, of Omaha. He related the
story of the portrait of Mrs. Armour,
explaining that she had sat for the
portrait especially for her French salon.
She is dressed in French costume, and
the portrait is enclosed in an old
French frame.

Mr. Baker began his lectures March
2, continuing with one each week until

AprU 20.

"ELIJAH" ORATORIO

composition was a long and tiresome
process, however, and contributed to
his early death in 1847. The oratorio is
significant in the history of music in
that it exhibits a new tendency to
merge old forms into a more continu-
ous kind of melody.

Neared Plagiarism
Mendelssohn had a narrow escape
from plagiarism in composing the
"Elijah." He wrote the solo, "0 rest
in the Lord," to Leeve's tune of the
Scotch song, "Auld Robin Gray," which
he had heard in his Scotch travels, but
forgotten. The mistake was pointed out
to him by a friend, and he wrote the
beautiful melody which we now hear
under that title.

I have told you before about Proffitt's
wash dresses, but I can't resist doing
so again. I was there at the unpacking
of a grand new shipment of these
dresses, and I am enthusiastic concern-
ing their merits. They are a riot of
color— solids or gay prints. Big flowers,
splashy figures and plenty of color are
requirements for Spring and Summer
colors, as you know, and these dresses
fulfill all requirements. They are cool,
comfortable, casual, and are easily
laundered. The styles are new and
varied, one and two-piece frocks with
buttons, clever necklines, smart belts,
often of contrasting leather. Materials
too, are varied — linens, dimities,
batistes, eyelets, dotted Swisses. Speak-
ing of sheer materials, there are also
some pajamas at Proffitts made of
dimity and dotted swiss in both bril-
liant plaid designs and dainty pastels, in
either tailored styles ot with soft
touches at the neck. They are two-
piece affairs, comfortable and charm-
ing. See them in the Ready-to-Wear
Department. Also worth your notice
are the summer suits in a light-weight
non-crushable material, made in man-
tailored styles with contrasting blouses.
As we finish with dresses, let us
turn to the matter of accessories— you
know how important they are — espec-
ially gloves. If you struggle with a
budget, you will appreciate the glove
values at Proffitt's, for a new lot of
white gloves, made by the famous Kay-
ser people, are all reasonably priced.and
may be kept looking fresh and new at
a very low price, for they are all
washable. They fit smoothly and snug-
ly, being especially fashioned to do so.
You can get many different types,
leatherettes with smart outside stitch-
ing, baskettes, mesh, milanese, cro-
cheted ones with flaring cuffs, or plain
fabric, all smart in design and appro-
priateness. There are many clever
touches achieved by treatment of but-
tons on cuffs, and the prices are equally
clever.

Shoes are also important as acces-
sories, and you can have them to match
your costume, or to contrast with it, by
buying linen or buck sandals at
Proffitt's, and having them tinted,
absolutely free, any color you desire.
Many fashion-wise shoppers are taking
advantage of this service. Multi-colored
sandals are very popular and very
attractive, having the advantage of fit-
ting into any color scheme. Kedette en-
thusiasts will be glad to know that
more of these clever, inexpensive shoes
are on their way here. They are so
colorful and so comfortable you should
own at least two pairs.

Colbert Directs
Little Symphony,
Violin Concerto

Presentation to be Contri-
bution of Music Week
Program

A complete symphony, and a violin
concerto with violin accompaniment
will be offered by the Maryville Col-
lege Little Symphony orchestra at its
annual concert in Voorhees chapel
Tuesday evening, as contribution to
National Music week activities here.

The orchestra, under the direction of
Ralph R. Colbert, culminates its weeks
of rehearsal with the concert. During
this year it has also provided accom-
paniment for the "Messiah" presenta-
tion immediately preceding the Christ-
mas holidays, and for the combined
Glee clubs' production, Gilbert and
Sullivan's light opera, "The Mikado."
Open With Beethoven

The orchestra will play first the
second movement (Andante Cantabile)
from Beethoven's First symphony, fol-
lowing it with the first movement of the
E Minor Concerto for violin, by Men-
delssohn. Edward Brubaker, advanced
violin student, will play the concerto,
with the orchestra.

Immediately following the inter-
mission four movements of Hayden's
Military symphony and Strauss' Blue
Danube waltz will conclude the pro-
gram. Annotations, prepared by Miss
Dorothy Home, follow.

Program Annotated

"The Beethoven of the first symphony
is not the Beethoven of the great ninth
or even the third symphony. In 1800
when the symphony was first perform-
ed, Beethoven was a young man, con-
siderably under the influence of Haydn
and Mozart. Nevertheless, his indivi-
duality asserts itself, particularly in
the second violin, it grows to a great
mass of tone in full orchestra. Abrupt
modulations, strong contrasts in major
and minor which shocked the critics
of his day, are evidences of that deve-
loping individuality which would free
music forever from the strict forms of

Huehn Concludes
Artists' Series

Young Baritone Presents
Varied Program

Julius Huehn concluded the college
1936-37 Artists' series with his program
in Voorhees chapel last Tuesday even-
ing, appearing before over eight hun-
dred students and patrons of the series.
The advance ticket sale on the bari-
tone's concert was surpassed only by
the program of Josef Hofmann this year.

Huehn presented a varied program
ranging from arias, through folks songs,
to modern works. Especially well re-
ceived was "The Song of the Flea,"
the "Toreador Song," and "Rivets," the
words of this latter piece being com-
posed by the artist. His numerous
encores brought much applause from
the audience, particularly the favorite
"Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes."

Huehn was very obliging in giving
autographs. Those who met him in the
Fine Arts studio after the concert met
his wife and also his accompanist.

The stage was artistically decorated
with a green fir background and white
dogwood. The representatives of the
Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. planned
the decorations.

humorous debate between Sara Lee
Heliums and Warren Ashby.

Arrangements for the banquet were
made by a committee composed of
Mary Haines, Ruth Abercrombie, Fred
Rhody, and George Felknor.

and for two terms was president of the
Tennessee College association. At pre-
sent he is secretary of the college com-
mission of the Southern association of
colleges.

Choir Presents
"Elijah" Oratorio

Barber, Cusworth, McAr-
thur Take Solo Parts

The Maryville College Vesper choir
presented last Sunday afternoon in
Voorhees chapel their interpretation of
Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio, "Elijah,"
under the direction of Professor Ralph
R. Colbert. The solo parts were taken
by Harriet Barber, contralto; Robert
Cusworth, tenor; and Donnell Mc-
Arthuh, bass.

Accompanied at the piano by Ruth
Mack and Zula Vance, the choir sang
nine choruses of the oratorio including
"Baal, hear and answer',, "Cast thy
burden upon the Lord," "Be not afraid,"
"He watching over Israel," and "And
then shall your light." Included also
on the program were seven recitatives,
the majority of which were taken by
the bass soloist.

The "Elijah," was first conducted by
Mendelssohn in Birmingham, England,
in 1846. It has since been given fre-
quently, and is included with Haydn's
"Creation," and Handel's "Messiah,"
which was sung here at Christmas time,
among the greatest oratorios in the
world.

Mr. Frank O. Darvall, British leader
in political affairs, completed Wednes-
day evening his sixteenth lecture in
the course of three days at Maryville
college. Besides the talks at the chapel
service, Dr. Darvall lectured to the
combined classes of Professors Camp-
bell, Queener, Jewell, Orr, McMurray,
Kiger, Briggs, and Keller.

Not only is Mr. Darvall a leading
lecturer, but he is also a writer, and
takes active part in political affairs. In
1927 he was the leader of the debate
teams from British universities to the
United States and Canada.

He had a Graduate Research stu-
dentship in history at London during
1928-1929, and a Commonwealth Fund
fellowship in history at Columbia
university, 1929-1931. He was the direc-
tor of studies of Geneva students at the
International Union in 1933 and head of
the Department of History, and lecturer
in economics and history at Queen's
college, London, 1933-1936.

President Lloyd Speaks
To Many School Groups

Dunlap, Brittain Reign Over Program Sponsored by Y.
W. ; Project Developed by Pagentry Class

Depicting a day in ancient Greece, Maryville's historic May day pageant
was presented under the sponsorship of the Young Women's Christian
assication this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the natural amphitheatre of the

college woods.

This year's presentation has
been built around the poem,
"Lotus Eaters," by Tennyson.
Maryville wanderers are met
by Grecian nymphs who con-
duct them to the enchanted
land. There the queen of the
gods and the three Graces
present for them in pageant
the events of a day in ancient
Greece. A dance foretells the
story of an impending battle;
tableaux suggest the classic
struggle; a wounded soldier
suggests the clashing arms
and final victory by an in-
Mary Frances Dunlap terpretative dance; and the
victors return home in a triumphal
*day of merriment follows with song
procession leading their captives. A
and dance depicting the joyous occasion.
Mary Frances Dunlap, elected queen
by the senior class, and David Brittain,
class president, will reign over the pre-
sentation. Their court included Char-
lotte Browder and Emma Katherine
senior class, and representatives from
Smith, attendants, selected from the
the three lower classes: Juniors, Jessie
Cassada, James Proffitt, Helen Miller,
and Winford Ross; sophomores, Curt-
marie Brown, Raymond Nelson, Ruth
Dixon, and Edwin Walker; freshmen,
Patricia Kennedy, and Wilbur Parvin
Sara Lee Heliums, Harry Ferrin.

This is the seventeneth year in which
the college has presented the pageant,
intended to follow the old north-
European custom of celebrating the
first of May. The preformamM during
that time has become well known be-
cause of its beauty and orginality. An
estimated 2,500 people, the largest
crowd in history, attended the presen-
tation last year. Today's audience is
expected to be even larger.

Music for the pageant was furnished
by the College band and the Women's
Glee club under the direction of Ralph
R. Colbert. The band appeared in uni-
form for the first time since the foot-
ball season and played while the

An Eighth Of An Inch Makes a Lot Of Difference

SIMPSON SPENCER, JR.

Sometimes just an eighth of an inch
can make a lo* of difference. Julius
Huehn, Metropolitan opera baritone,
is ready to swear that the standard
length of Pullman berths is just that
much short of his own six-feet-four
bulk. Recounting to his interviewer the
difficulties en route to his concert at
Maryville, the genial young artist be-
wailed the lack of foresight of the
Southern railroad which required his
changing trains at Winchester, Virginia,
at six A. M., "practically the middle of
the night."

Readily indicating his willingness to
chat while autographing hundreds of
programs after his concert Tuesday
night, the distinguished baritone ex-
hibited none of the self-consciousness
that might be expected of one so new-
ly risen to fame. He was genuinely
pleased with the few compliments he

received on his performance from some
of the avid autograph-hounds. His frank
regard of the custom as "childish" was
revealed in several "asides" to his
interviewer as he continued to smile
and sign for the endless line of students.
"What do you do with these programs
anyhow?" he asked. His query drew
only timid mutterings about "scrap-
books" from blushing freshman girls
suddenly bashful in the presence of
their handsome idol.

The artist first learned that he could
sing when, a saxophone and clarinet
player in the jazz orchestra of South
Hills high school, Pittsburg, he was
called upon to substitute for the regular
vocalist. His first attempt must have
been "lousy", Huehn confessed, but he
was encouraged several years later to
try out in a national radio audition. At
this time he was a student in mechani-
cal engineering at Carnegie Tech, work-

ing his way as a boilermaker, a "really
tough job," from which his poem,
"Rivets" found inspiration. His 220
pounds also found use in the guard
and tackle postions on Tech's football
team, the singer coyly admitted.

Following his initial success in the
audition, Huehn won a scholarship in
the Juilliard Graduate school in New
York under Mme. Schoen-Rene. Here
he studied theory, harmony, sight-
singing, ear-training, French, German,
Italian, operatic roles, stage technique,
makeup, fencing, and dancing. It was
Albert Stessel who gave the promising
young baritone his start in the Oratorio
society of New York and the Worcester
festival. After a brief period of study
in Germany, Huehn returned to receive
his first assignment in the " Met" just
two years ago.

His rise has been remarkable. On

periments among children with the
machine and to see whether their read-

Class Gets Experience
On Annual Business Trip

Interviewing Knoxville business men.
Dr. Claude A. Campbell's class in busi-

field trip recently. The purpose of the
trip was to study typical business insti-
tutions and their methods of organiza-
tion.

The first visit of the group was to
a department store, one of the largest
of its kind in the south. Here the man-
ager of the institution discussed the
budgeting control of a department
store and the internal organization of a
retail institution.

Then the class went to a broker's
office where the organization head ex-
plained the srvices of a broker
office to its customers. They then went
to another broker's institution where
the services of the stock exchange
were discussed.

The twenty students making the trip
next studied various office equipment
and the internal management of a
large clothing manufacturing company.

Formal Dinner

7TT he ovation accorded Julius Heuhn at his eminently
^ successful recital last Tuesday evening affords ample
proof that his powerful voice and dramatic interpretation
found much favor. He was rewarded with applause that
the same audience has denied greater artists in the
same series.

r. Heuhn seemed to be enjoying himself. He sang
with the verve and enthusiasm of "John Henry," whose
ballad was the climax of his regular program.
/|T he first selection from Handel's "Julius Caesar," beside
*■' conforming to the tradition of programming a work
from the classical school at the beginning, showed Mr.
Heuhn at his interpretive best. His feeling for deep de-
spair or sadness is excellent, and found outlet in a sur-
prisingly large proportion of his numbers.

Among the masterfully executed lieder, Mr. Heuhn
reached the highest expression in Brahms "Auf dem
Kirchofe" and the mighty "Ewig" of Erich Wolff. Perhaps
his real artistry was best shown in his treatment of the
"Toreador" Song, which he snatched up from all its over-
worked tritness and restored to its legitimate status as a
work of art.

3n his next groupf in sharp contrast to the sentimental
and descriptive works of the French moderns, was
"When the King Went Forth to War" with all its signifi-
cance as a social condemnation, and the "Song of the Flea"
in which, despite Ks boisterous humor, Mr. Heuhn's smile-
less laughter left no doubt of the penetrating satire be-
neath.

ncluded in the last group was a song in manuscript by
twenty nine year old Charles Cohen to a poem by Mr.
Heuhn called "Rivets." The staccato hammering of the
words and 'the conscientious cacophony of the accompani-
ment were very effective.

raciously answering call after call, Mr. Heuhn sang
another complete program of encores, to conclude one
of the most successful artists' series in recent years.

There is a certain courtesy due those gracious enough
to provide entertainment for our formal dinners, a courtesy
that was lacking Tuesday evening.

At times the noise was so great that some of the per-
formers could not be heard. Granted that you do not
appreciate certain kinds of music, it is only fair that you
allow others to enjoy the selections.

Even though we have finished the meal it will not
hurt us to remain for a few minutes to allow the rest of
the program to be given. Those who are kind enough to
prepare entertainment should be given an opporunity to
present it to an orderly dining hall.

Twig-Snappers

Maryville college spends. much money and work
annually in imprpving the campus, which is rightfully
conceded a beautiful one in spite of the thoughlessness of
some students. Workers report that besides the general
unsightliness caused by unthinking people who throw trash
on the campus, a more serious damage is done by those
who tear flowers and branches from the shrubs.

These well-meaning students have no wilful desire to
destroy property, but carelessly pick off a flower as they
go, with the result that many shrubs have been left with
little more than bare limbs. "A thing of beauty is a joy
forever," but what can be said of the unsightly shrubs
stripped of most of their foliage?

The orchestra has provided accompaniment fox - the
"Messiah" and "Mikado," and although largely responsi-

nately has not received its rightful recognition.

The orchestra, for some time pushed into a step-child
role, now takes its rightful place as one of the foremost
cultural vehicles on the campus. No admission will be
charged. All that the members ask and are due is a large
audience of appreciative listeners.

naires returned by 218 leading colleges and universities
which account for nearly half of the total enrollment of
male and coeducational institutions, engineering, business

We thought of giving our sister a book on her last
birthday, but she protested that she already had a book,
and would prefer a bookcase. Which reminds us that we
have just read a book. We don't remember the title or the
contents, but we do remember that the paper jacket said
the book was "pulsating, savagely realistic." It must have
been a good book.

Everybody's doing it: let's us write a book, too! If we
can manage to have it condemned by some decency league
or other, we can easily presuade a few college professors
to extol it, in return for the free publicity on the jacket.
Our novel should run off with book-of-the-hour rating,
providing no one reads it.

First, we'll dispense with the old-fashioned notion that
every story requires a plot. The modern reader leers
contemptuously when he finds two incidents in a novel
I which have any connection whatsoever.

Since every hero in present-day novels possesses some
psychological quirk which induces weird behavior, we'll
select a college sophomore for our hero: he has plenty of
such quirks. Let's go!

Cecil Fetherbrayne awakes one morning with a
terrific conflict conflicting in his alleged brain. By exert-
ing 4to the nth degree his powerful se'f-wiU? he over-
comes his rash imnulsw.tb jump out of bed to study his
ecoi»onjics before brtakfas$fe, Forbears he has .striven un-
successfully to throttle htt^unholy mania for study, an'd
now that his higher rfiture has triumphed over his sordid
pasjion for book-learning, he glories in hlsksepse of
masterful self-discipline. We'll call that "Part I: Ex Mero
Motu."

Now Cecil is, of course, fed up with life. (This is
"Part II: Taedium Vitae.") He smiles cynically at his
fellow men, because he knows very well that our actions
are not at all true to motion-picture life. Life is just a
hollow mockery to Cecil, as he stares moodily into the'
bottom of his glass in Pearsons, after draining the milk at
a gulp. Why is milk white? he ponders. Coffee is brown;
pineapple juice is yellow— why must milk be white? Oh,
the injustice of it alii Cecil becomes so morose that he is
tempted to end everything by taking a third biscuit. We
leave him here to fight his lone struggle with Fate and
the Biscuit.

It's about time to "cherchez la femme,." so we'll call
Part III "L' Affaire S'Achemine." We'll go to the freshman
class for our fiery little red-headed heroine, and call her
Sibyl. Sibyl is so antagonistic to convention and custom
that she spends most of her allowance for books on
etiquette and how«.a-young-lady-should-behave — and
proceeds to break every rule arid principle she finds in
their pages.

Sibyl is roaming about looking for some fences to
climb (because Emily Post says ladies don't climb fences.)'
Cecil chances to arrive on the scene just as Sibyl becomes
hopelessly entangled in a barbed- wire fence. Now, we,
are sorely tempted to cook up a good, old-fashioned, reel
five ending to all this mess— girl in distress; boy renders
assistance; clinch; cut!— For who are we to keep the
young from loving? Who, indeed? But such can not be the
case in our novel, for we are dealing with hard, brittle,
realistic characters. Cecil takes a look at the squealing
Sibyl attempting to kick herself free; then tosses her a can
opener, utters a hollow cackle of disdain; and, leaving her
danglint in the air, he retires to a monastery to spend his
life in penitence, mourning because milk is white.

Hey-nonny-nonny! . . With a heigh
and a ho we welcome the merrife m&nth
o' May . , . We can just picture Lombe
S piping merrily on his bazooka lead-
ing his little charges across the mea-
dows to swamp the big bad mens from

the Women's Glee club had been con-
tracted to flit hither and yon in sheets
and the swim team's nightshirts in a
last vain effort to achieve the sublime

From a well-known faculty member
and several students comes the sugges-
tion that the present system of exami-
nations be revised . Obviously un-
satisfactory because of the cutting done
in classes preceding each scheduled
exam, together with the fact that in
very few courses does the exam time
correspond readily with the completion
of any one unit of work, there is really
need for a change ... We hope that
any investigation that might start won't
go the way of the fire-prevention cam-
paign last fall or the state-clubs investi-
gation . . . Most of the criticism Yorick
has had as an individual is that he is
radical and a reformer . But we
challenge any critic to demonstrate
where our "radicalism" has exceeded
progressivism . . . We second William

able of all character traits is "intelligent

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MAY 1. 1937

Forecast: For Tennessee, cloudy in east portions on Monday,
light rains Tuesday, tropical sun Wednesday, deluge Thursday,
with intermittent rains, snow, and a dash of bitters on Friday
and Saturday. In case of ball game or track meet on schedule
expect morning sun and afternoon showers . . .

THAT WEATHER MAN AGAIN

Ti« better to have gone and got wet than not to have gone at all . . these
words of the poet give us a mite of comfort even in these days of sort distress
and dampness.

Water, water everywhere, nor any dry spot.

Or, to be more specific, the recent rains have made conditions very trying
for the track and baseball athletes of Coaches Thrower and Honaker. Twice
in the past seven days the weatherman has threatened to wipe out all traces of
Scot track meets, first the Davidson affair last Saturday and then the
Chattanooga meet Wednesday. Both went on as scheduled, but at great cost
in time and patience. Ask the boys who line off the track! . ..

The same situation has prevailed on the diamond, where the Honakermen
have had games at Madison ville and Carson-Newman postponed.

And what's to be done about it? We suggest either a glass-topped, water-
proof athletic plant or an aspirin.

(Well Shines As

Series in Battle

Here Today

PROSPECTS?

Noticeable among the junior college track men yesterday were two or
three, who, if lured to Maryville, would be a welcome addition to Coach
Thrower's Scot cinder team.

These include in particular the two fellows from Mars Hill, Costello and
Robinson, who were leading scorers for their team.

These two athletes made a majority of the good marks which were compiled
in the Southeastern Junior contests.

Robinson was the most impressive. His achievement of 21 feet 2 inches
in the broad jump exceeded anything the Scots or their foes have been able
to do this season. In all he took part in six events, winning the low hurdles,
taking second in the mile, third in the javelin, fourth in the 880, and running
anchor on a relay team that won with about forty yards to spare.

Highlander football, basketball, and baseball teams have included junior
college men on their rosters this year; perhaps the track squad could use some
to advantage, too.

THE EAGLE SCREAMS

It was bound to happen sometime. No team, not even Carson-Newman, could
keep the Indian sign on us forever.

And yesterday was the day. The Scot base bailers gained a measure of
revenge for past humiliation when they handed the Eagles a 14-2 pasting.

Poling out 16 loud basehits, the Honakermen were in complete command
of the situation all the way. *

Coach Frosty Holt and his men were slated to cavort on the local diamond
this afternoon. The Scots are primed to take their second straight, and don't
be surprised if they do.

Junior Odell's base-cleaning homer
yesterday led the Scots in a 16 hit
attack on five Carson-Newman hurlers.

In addition to his four-base lick,
which came with the bags loaded in
the first inning, the big shortstop con-
tributed three singles and battled in
five runs as Maryville finally broke
their Carson-Newman jinx with a 14-2
victory. '

The Win was doubly sweet in view of
the fact that it marked the first time
this year that the Highlanders have
taken an athletic contest from the
Holtmen. The diamond series between
the two outfits now stands at one game
for Maryville and two for the Eagles.
The Scotties have an opportunity to
even matters today on the home field.

The fireworks started when Don
Cross, the first man up, drew a walk.
Toots Blazer got a life on a fielder's
choice.Don Parker doubled, and Al
Burris reached first on an error, to
lead the bases. It was here that Odell
delivered his pay-off wallop, handing

Rain Postpones
Tennis Matches
On Road Trip

Three of Four Scheduled

Matches Rained Out;

Two Next Week

* After having three of the four sche-
duled matches rained out during the
past week, and after having defeated
Union uhiversity, in a scheduled match,
and Cumberland, in an unscheduled
match; the Maryville college tennis
team will go into action again next
Wednesday against Union, here, and
against the University of Tennessee
team next Saturday.

The team was scheduled to play four
matches on the four day road trip this
pant week, but of the fdut scheduled
matches only the one "With Union was
played. The team, compri*e-d of Ted
Gillingham, Frank Morrow, Keith
Augenstein, Wando Colombo, Bill
Meeks, and Fred Jewett, along with
Coach George F. Fischbach, stopped
over at Cumberland and arranged a
match. Maryville won 5-1.

Since Maryville defeated Union last
week, 3-1, on a match played away
from home, the team should have
little trouble in defeating them on the
Maryville courts.

But the Scotties should run into a
little more trouble against the Vols
next Saturday. The University of Ten-
nessee team has already beaten Mary-
ville once this year, on Maryville's
courts, and they are out for another
victory next Saturday. Nevertheless,
the members of the tennis team are
optimistic and hope to win both of the
matches next week— unless they are
rained out.

The Highlanders have suffered a great
deal this season because of rain. The
year when the team was expecting to
have a very successful season the
majority of the ..matches have been
rained out. :i , , ix , ,

Trackmen Defend SMC Grown Today;

Maryville Host To Junior Runners

Throwermen Will Defend

Loop Records In

13 Events

Coach Bob Thrower and thirteen of
his cinder men left early this morning
for .Johnson City, where the Smoky
Mountain Conference track and field
meet is slated today.

Holders of 12 of the 15 records estab-
lished in previous loop meets, the
Scotties hope to continue their domi-
nance of the mountain circuit with
another good showing in the 1937 event.

Roy. Talmage, who holds the record
in the quarter, will not be able to de-
fend his laurels, but Weldon Baird, run-
ning the 440 since Roy's attack of
mumps, .threatens to reduce the mark
of 53.3. He should be successful if the
track is in decent shape.

With Jamison, Teachers' ace sprinter
on hand, the Maryville dash men en-
tertain few hopes of taking the century
or 220; the middle distances should be
a different story, however. Baird, Mor-
gan, Mooney, Rugh, et al, rate better
than even chances in these events.

In the discus Guy Propst will be out
to better his mark of 116 feet eight
inches.

Monk Myers in the pole vault and
Jim Etheredge in the high jump are
expected to push the existing records.

The men making the trip, beside
Coach Thrower, are Savitski, Baird,
Fish, Rugh, Morgan, Mooney, Dowell,
Propst, Orr, Tulloch, Etheredge, Myers,
Chandler, and Manager Buxton.

Maryville was host yesterday to the
Southeastern Junior Conference track
meet, which won by Mars Hill college
of North Carolina.

The boys from the Tarheel state piled
up 80 points to finish far ahead of the
other three teams participating in the
meet. Hiwassee, of Madisonville, Ten-
nessee, was second with 37 points,
Young-Harris, of Georgia, came in
third with 27, and Tennessee Wesleyan
fourth with a 10-point total. , , i

The Mars Hill outfit, in addition to
capturing team honors, also furnished
the two individual stars of the jamboree
in Costello and Robinson. The latter
placed in six events, including the
relay, in which he ran anchor for the
Lions. His point total was 16, secured
by virtue of firsts in the broad jump
and low hurdles, second in the mile,
third in the javelin, and fourth in the
half mile. Costello made his 11 points
in the pole valut, high jump, century,
and relay.

The marks made by the other en-
trants in the quadrangular affair were
for the most part unempressive. The
slow track and lack of practice on the
part of most of the runners played a
big part in slowing up the times in
many of the events.

Scotties Smash Eagles, 14-2

Maryville a lead that was held through-
out the game.

Another marker came over in the
fifth on sigles by Blazer and Odell,
with a hit batsman sandwiched in be-
tween.

Two more were added in the sixth on
Ripper Collins' single, a walk, and
Blazer's triple.

Single runs in the seventh and
eighth made it 9-0 as the Eagles came
up in the eighth. At this point Holt's
boys staged a one-run rally when Doyle
singled and Dowling came through with
a three-bagger.

Stirred by this show of spirit from
the stricken Eagles, the Honakermen
really iced the battle in their half of
the ninth. Five runs were added in this
frame on one-base licks by Odell and
Swearingen, walks to Hernandez and
Collins, Cross' triple, and Blazer's fly
to right.

With the count 14 to 1 against them
Carson-Newman launched a last minute
attack to score a lone ninth inning run
on Walters' single and Stone's double.
But there they stopped, leaving the
Scots Jn possession of the field and a
deeply satisfying 14-2 triumph.

Ralph Ashby was slated to pitch to-
day's game.

SYMPHONY CONCERT

(Continued from page one)
the classic school.

Haydn, "Father of Symphony"
Haydn, "father of the symphony,"
wrote over a hundred symphonies,
each a perfect example of classic sym-
phonic form, yet each individual and
sparkling with melody and animation.
The present symphony, popularly called
the military symphony because of the
unusual use of the brass wind instru-
ments in the second movement, is in the
conventional four movements. The first,
opening with a slow introduction, later
changes to a lively allegro which is
begun by the wood winds and echoed
by the strings. The second movement,
instead of the customary andante, is
marked allegretto, and is characterized
by the military motifs in the brass as
before noted. The third, as is usual in
Haydn, is a minuet, while the last,
marked presto, brings the symphony
to a brilliant close.

Play Mendelssohn Concerto
"The Mendelsshon Violin concerto,
first performed in 1845, was originally
written for Ferdinand David, the fore-
most violinist of his time and friend of
the composer. Ranking second only to
the great Beethoven violin concerto,
it is beloved of violinists and concert
audiences alike.

"The first movement, in classic
sonata -allegro form, presents and de-
velops two themes: one, in minor, ap-
pearing In the opening measures of
the solo violin, and the second, in major,
first being heard in the wood wind. The
long and brilliant cadenza was, unlike
the cadenzas to most concertos, written
by the composer himself, with the ad-
vice of David.

MAY 1, 1917

Colloge will close two weeks early, May
24. The college faculty, in session for
two hours Monday afternoon, requested
the special meeting of the directors to
consider the recommendation that col-
lege should close its doors two weeks
early. This action on the part of the
faculty, and its subsequent approval
by the directors, followed the steps
taken by other schools throughout the
country of similar nature, to do any-
thing possible to place the services of
the great body of student s in the
country at the disposal of the govern-
ment.

APRIL 29, 1927

The College band, augmented by
talented artists from town, will present
its home concert, under the direction
of Mr. Harry Bird, in Voorhees chapel
Monday evening. The program, con-
sisting of numbers by the band, inter-
spersed with readings, solos, and
quartets, promises to be one of the
best musical entertainments ever given
on College hill.

The May day program, "Robin Hood,"
will be given in the college woods Sat-
urday afternoon. The program starts
promptly at 2:30.

During the past week there have been
a number of messages received by stu-
dents whose parents live on a farm,
calling them home. In some cases otner
members of the family have joined the
colors, necessitating the return of the
ones at college.

Rev. William P. Stevenson, D. D.,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
Yonkers, N. Y., will deliver the com-
mencement address of Maryville college
on Thursday morning. Dr. Stevenson
is one of the leading divines of New
York state and a forceful speaker. The
college is fortunate in securing such
a strong man for this important
occasion.

You'd better go to bed with the
chickens next Tuesday evening, for the
rising bell will ring Wednesday morn-
ing, May 4, in the wee sma' hours. Then
you must get up, don your hiking togs,
eat a big breakfast and prepare for a
good all-day hike with your best girl.
Tremont, in the heart of the Great
Smokies, has been selected for the
spring hike.

To trounce Tennessee in an ordinary
game is an affair to be celebrated, but
when the Highlanders were able, with
the odds against them, to play an up-
hill game for eleven innings and finally
win by a score of 5-4 no ordinary cele-
bration was slated for the old town.

Coach Thrower a pleasant surprise in

winning this one in 11:23.7, finishing
a step ahead of Don Rugh. Bruce Mor-
gan, running the two mile for the first

The Scots cinched the meet when
Guy Prbpst and Ralph Dowell grabbed

hi last Saturdays' meet with the
Davidson Wildcats the Throwermen
absorbed an 85 to 46 loss, dropping nine
first places and eleven seconds to the
Carolinians.

Both teams were greatly handicapped
by a sticky track, which made fast
times impossible.

Guy Propst led the Scot point makers
with a total of 12, registered in the
jumps, which he won, and in the shot
and discus, in whcih he took third.

Wicker, tall Davidson athlete, paced

Seniors Have Exams

Comprehensive examinations will be
given to the seniors on May sixth and
seventh, and will cover fourteen fields.
This year there are no students major-
ing in Latin, Spanish or German.

Those taking the examinations will
write at least three hours and not more
than four oa material covering their
respective major fields. The various de-
partments will announce to their major*
where the examinations will be held.

Rochester, and Cleveland during the
past few weeks. His favorite role has
been that of Kurwenal in "Tristan" in
which Kirsten Flagstad sings "Isolde"
and Laurence Melchior the title role.
Huehn has especially enjoyed singing
Escamillio in Bizet's "Carmen" and the
part of Telramund in Wagner's "Lohen-
grin" among the many parts he has had.
Before arriving at Maryville, his itiner-
ary took him from Cleveland to Aurora,
N. Y., Lancaster, Staunton, Va., and
Butler, Pa. He returned to New York
following his concert here.

Huehn will take a two months' tour
of the West this summer with his pretty
wife who accompanies him on all his
trips. He found his cottage in Maine
too cold and lonely on his last vacation.
As a parting word, Huehn asked that
his accompanist, with whom he spoke
in German, not be left out. Huehn re-
vealed that the reticent, bespectackled
pianist was an artist in his own right,
being conductor of the Berlin Stein-
opera in his native land. As he left, the
artist expressed his regret at being
unable to see the Maryville campus in
the daytime, a simple, sincere statement
which revealed a wistful longing for
his own carefree undergraduate days, a
longing forever sacrificed for the price
of fame.

Cabinet Approves

Nu Gamma Leaders

The Nu Gamma leaders of the Y. W.
C. A. for next year have been chosen
by Helen Bobo, in charge of the Nu
Gamma groups, and have been approv-
ed by the Y. W. cabinet.

The following are the Nu Gamma
leaders: Helen Bobo, Harriet Miller,
Sara Lee Heliums, Ruth Mack, Helen
Bewley, Ruth Abercrombte, Ruth
Crawford, Margaret Cloud, Deane
Brown, Curtmarie - Brown, Suzannah
Lupton, Phyllis Gesaert, Sarah Bolton,
and Etta Culbertson.

These girls will each have a group of
about ten new ghis whom they will
aid in getting acquainted with the cam-
pus and college life.

May 9th is Mothers Day, and every
mother in the land should be receiving
gifts and remembrances. Although it is
sometimes hard to pick a gift that will
be pleasing, you will find an endless
variety of suitable articles to select from
at Proffitt's. For instance, I saw a lot
of lovely collar and cuff sets down
there, and all mothers like crisp,
new collars that give a fresh, dainty
touch to any old dress. These sets are
very beautiful and are made of bias
strips fagotted together; fagotting with
an edging of pleated organdie; em-
broidered ones made of organdie; nets
in beautiful colors; tailored piques. A
very striking one was made of fine
white pique with a scalloped edge and
a small turn-over collar. Scalloped cuffs
complete the set. Another sure trick
for brightening up last years dress is
the addition of a fresh, colorful flower.
Mothers appreciate th'eTm, too. At
Proffitt's there are clusters of daisies,
violets of yellow or purple, many
colored field flowers, and groups of
clever vegetables or fruits. Remember,
flowers are smarter than ever this
year.

Another thing your mother will enjoy
is receiving a huge box of fine, deli-
cately perfumed dusting powder,
possibly with cologne or soap in the
same scent. Yardley's lavendar powder
and soap are very nice gifts, as are
Richard Hudnut's Gemey, Dorothy
Perkins, and Evening in Paris powder
with a sample of cologne given free.
Perhaps you will want to give a piece
of costume jewelry. Cameo pins are
very popular, cameo-effect pins are
nice, and flower clusters are colorful.
A very lovely piece is a sparkling pin
which comes apart to form a set of
clips. Stockings are always welcome
gifts, and Proffitt's have the famous
Humming-Bird and Se-Ling brands in
several different weights and shades,
with prices to fit any pocket-book. And
speaking of pocket-books, theres
another idea for a gift. You can get
them in any color, size, or shape, from
white through the range of colors to
brown or black.

Or, why not send your mother a
pair of comfortable bedroom slippers?
Proffitt's have them in red, blue or
black kid. These are well made and
lasting slippers. A brand new pair I
saw are influenced by the Coronation
trend, and are made of blue with small
golden crowns sprinkled over them.
For sheer comfort in day-time shoes,
you can't beat the regulation nurse
oxford in white or black, or the arch-
support shoe. Any mother will appre-
ciate these.

Slips are desirable gifts for any time.
Proffitt's Ready-to- Wear Department
have many types. Crepe ones, either
tailored or lace-trimmed styles may be
had, as well as satins. White slips are
popular, and there are some lovely
I four-gored ones with adjustable straps.

Recent Election

James Proffitt was elected President
of next year's senior class in the pre-
liminary election held Wednesday,
May 5, winning out in a close race with
John Stafford. Proffitt is an assistant in
the chemistry department, was treas-
urer of his class last year, was on the
wrestling team, and is alternate cap-
tain of next year's football squad.

Jessie Cassada, Roberta Enloe and
Donald Killian were elected vice presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer at the
final lection last Tuesday, winning over
Helen Miller, Clara Dale Echols and
Edward Gillingham. *

Since there were only two candidates
for president in the preliminaries, it
was considered not necessary to vote
again for president at the final election
Tuesday. For the other offices, how-
ever, the two candidates for each
office polling the highest number of
votes in the preliminaries were voted
upon in the finals.

Jessie Cassada, an assistant in the
psychology department, was James
Proffitt's choice to represent the junior
class in the May day festival.

Reberta Enloe, in addition to being
a library assistant, is a member of this
year's Chilhowean staff. Donald
Killian, an active member of the Y. M.
C. A. cabinet, is in the Writers' work-
shop.

The nominating committee consisted
of Roberta Enloe, Helen Maguire, Mar-
tin Bry Nildsen, Robert Clemmer and
William Collins.

West Takes First
In Bates Contest

Theme of Oratory Was
Future of T. V. A.

Curriculum Head
States Changes
For Coming Year

Catalog Includes Revised
Requirements, Changes,
New Courses

Speaking on "The Future of the
Tennessee Valley Authority," Walter
West won out over six other contes-
tants in the Bates Oratorical contest '
held Tuesday evening in the Philoso-
phy class room.

West declared that the Tennessee
Valley authority is a "dream of em-
pire." The government, he said, has
turned away from the dream that has
urged it to extend its colonial empire
and has turned to a dream of conquest
that urges it to develop the land which
is already in its possession.

He also stated that President Roose-
velt and the leaders of the TVA are
primarily interested in developing the
Tennessee ' valley as an experiment in
social and economic planning. He re-
counted the history of the project and
showed facts and evidence of its pro-
gress.

The Bates contest is one of two
oratorical prize contests open to Mary-
ville students. It was founded by Rev.
William Bates, D. D., who contributed
the sum of one thousand dollars, the
annual income from which was to be
used to provide the prize

This year's judges were Mrs. Grace
Pope Snyder, Professor E. W. Davis,
and Dr. E. R. Hunter. Professor Verton
M. Queener was chairman.

Detailed changes in course offerings
for 1937-38 set forth in the catalog to
be issued soon have been released by
Dr. E. R. Hunter, Director of Curricu-
lum.

The most extensive addition is
in the field of art. In fact, the be-
ginnings of what it is hoped may
develop into a full major sequence
in art are being provided. As in the
case of music, there are two types
of courses here, one in history and
appreciation and one in applied art.
The history and appreciation
courses offered for next year are:
101, An Introduction to an Under-
standing of the Fine Arts; 102. An
Introduction to the Paintings of
Representative Masters; each
course, three semester hours.
Parallel with these are two studio
courses: 111, The Principles and
Practice of Drawing; and 112, The
Principles and Practice of Color
Harmony. These studio courses
have two two-hour studio periods
a week and one hour of lecture. If
• these courses are taken parallel
with or after 101 and 102, they

Concerto

Violin

Featuring a complete symphony and
a violin concerto with orchestral

Little Symphony orchestra gave its
annual concert in Voorhees chapel May
4 at eight o'clock.

Edward Brubaker was the soloist on
the program, playing the first move-
ment of the E Minor Concerto for
violin by Mendlessohn. Brubaker's in-
terpretation of the concerto was well
relieved by the audience, which called
him back numerous times to receive
applause.

Another feature of the program was
the Military Symphony of Haydn. This
symphony is the first ever to be pre-
sented by a Maryville college orches-
tra. Other selections on the program
were the second movement from Beet-
hoven's First symphony and the Blue
Danube waltz of Strauss.

The orchestra was under the direc-
tion of Ralph R. Colbert.

About 50 students attended the
annual Student Volunteer picnic, an
African Safari, in the college woods
last Saturday afternoon. The group
divided into four tribes, ea^h with a
chief. These groups played games per-
taining to Africa and the jungle. The
winning tribe under Chief Walter
Maude composed the clean up com-
mittee; the losing tribe with Chief
Mark Andrews, the preparation pf
supper.

Following the meal the group
gathered around a large camp fire
where Don Killian led a song service;
Don Rugh played a trumpet solo; the
Ministerial quartet sang; George Hunt
lead devotionals; and Dr. E. R. Hunger
gave an address entitled "The Great
Adventure." The picnic closed with a
iriendship circle and the playing of
"Taps."

Frances Perrin was in charge of the
Safari. The committees were as follows:
games, Ruth Haines; food, Lee Whet-
stone; charge of grounds, Dean Brown;
publicity, Margaret Cloud; and pro-
gram committee chairman, Janet Tal-
mage.

Simpson E. Spencer, Jr.

Reaction to the comprehensive
examinations initiated at Maryville
college last week took nearly as many
forms as there are seniors who took
the tests. A general consensus of
opinion, revealed from interviews with
many students and faculty mmbers,
was that the examinations are worth
while, with some improvements, but
that their real value will be proved in
the extent that they motivate students
now in the lower classes to work for
knowledge rather than for grades.

Dr. David H. Briggs, head of the de-
partment of psychology and education,
expressed the general opinion of the
faculty in his view of the worth of
the comprehensives. His hope is that
the examinations will change the stu-
dent attitude toward college work, re-
placing the present tendency to work
for the professor and grade points
rather than comprehension of subject
matter. He regards the function of the
examination as an opportunity for the
student to take a central problem and
relate to it his knowledge from other
fields, thereby demonstrating the pri-
mary function of all education.

George Kent, a major in biology,
found the examination really worth-
while. Its value lies in its ability to
make the student coordinate his know-
ledge and in its ability to afford oppor-
tunity for comparison between the
several students taking the examina-
tion, over and beyond the grade points
accumulated in individual courses.
Kent suggested that to grade the
examinations as "excellent, good, pass-
ing, failure" would be better than the
point system and that perhaps disin-
terested people should grade the papers
instead of one professor. William

Open-Air Concert
Presented by Band
In College Woods

Students Direct Marches,

Take Solo Parts; Nine

Numbers Included

The band will present a moonlight
open-air concert in the college woods
next Saturday evening, Director Ralph
Colbert has announced. The band,
which has been augmented this year
to include thirty-five members, will
present nine numbers in a program
unique in Maryville musical history.

Three marches, two of them directed
by students, will be an important part
of the program. Richard Woodring,
drum major, will direct the playing of
Shanks' "The Aeroplane". The presi-
dent of the band, Claude Riley, will be
the director in the playing of Hummel's
"The Spirit of the West." "The Para-
mount", another popular march, will
be played under the direction of Mr.
Colbert.

Ralph Reed and Claude Riley will
play solo parts in Losey's "Addah
Polka." The familiar "Pilgrim Chorus"
from Wagner's magnificent opera
"Tannheuser" will be a feature of the
evening. In a lighter theme will be
"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"
with John Milmine carrying the solo
part of the baritone. The lilting strains
of the well known "Barcarolle" from
Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffman" is
certain to be enjoyed in the romantic
natural setting of the moonlit amphi-
theatre. A different number, the
"Elves' Dance" from Tschaikowsky's
"Nutcracker Suite" will find the wood-
land scene particularly suited to its
wierd pizzicato theme. Yoder's familiar
band number, "Gipsinan," followed by
the playing of the Alma Mater, will
conclude the program.

Claude Riley, assisted by the vice-
president of the band, Horace Brown,
and Harold Truebger, secretary-treas-
urer are developing the arrangements
for the presentation of the unique
concert. In the event of bad weather
the concert will be postponed until
Tuesday or Wednesday of the follow-
ing week.

Y Cabinets Hold
Annual Retreat
At Line Springs

Program Includes Banquet,

Conferences, Socials,

Devotionals

Sixty-three members of <he old and
new cabinets of the Y. M. C. A. and
Y. W. C. A. and chaperons left early
this afternoon for the Line Springs
hotel on the Tennessee-North Caro-
lina border where they will spend
three days preparing for next's year's
work. This is the largest group that
has ever gone on what is known as a
"retreat."

Activities have been planned by
Richard Schlafer and Lois Brown, re-
tiring presidents of the two "Y's", and
Marvin Minear and Clara Dale Echols,
new heads of the organizations. A
varied program of social activities, de-
votional exercises, and committee con-
ferences has been scheduled to fulfill
the threefold purpose of the excursion,
namely: preparation for next year's
work, fellowship, and inspiration.

The first big activity will be Satur-
day night's banquet. Mary Frances
Ooten will be toastmaster and the
speaker will be the Reverend George
Brown, husband of the biology pro-
fessor.

Sunday will open with a sunrise
service in charge of the Y. M. C. A.
The morning will be spent in com-
mittee conferences at which time the
new committees will be told their
duties. Nu Gamma leaders will also
explain to their group the duties of
that unit. In the afternoon the cabinets
will combine for a worship service.
They will then be addressed by Mr.
Charles Price, of Sweetwater, Ten-
nessee. Mr. Price is a former instruc-
tor at Tennessee Military institute and
is now a consulting chemist in Sweet-
water.

The morning service on Monday will
be in charge of the Nu Gamma group.
During the morning the two cabinets
will again combine, this time to plan
for welcoming new students next year.
Then, early in the afternoon, the group
will return to the campus.

Chaperons will be Rev. and Mrs.
George Brown and Miss Jessie K,
Johnson.

Society Conducts Drive To
Collect Dues

Vice-president Maxwell Cornelius
presided over a special meeting of
Athenian literary society last Thurs-
day evening. The meeting was called
to conduct some imperative business
since there will be no meeting of the
society this evening.

The main business of the evening
was the financial situation of the
society. It was decided to make a con-
certed drive on the collection of dues,
and for this purpose a large committee
consisting of representatives on each
floor of Carnegie hall was appointed.

A motion was passed that a com-
mittee be appointed to draw up a con-
stitutional amendment to provide that
a president should be elected in the
society at evtry semester instead of
the usual three times a year. As a final
measure, the society decided to have
one quarter of a page in next year's
"M" book.

JUNIOR ELECTION

When a person reaches college age the concession is
usually made that he has reached a stage of maturity
sufficient reasonable approach to self-government and
class activity. A consideration of recent action on the part
of the rising seniors has caused many to wonder whether
this view is not more flattering than correct.

At the primary election of class officers, only a few
more than half of the members were present. Some
of these bickered, quibled, and turned what should have
been an orderly election into a parlimentary filibuster.

With the polls open for eight hours it was expected that
practically every junior would vote, but only seventy-
five showed interest in choosing their leaders. Those not
voting are the ones who neglect to attend class meetings,
pay their dues, and are usuallly characterized by their
childish cries of politics after every election.

No office fails to carry with it the demand for leadership
and earnest effort of the one elected, but this responsi-
bility does not stop here. The privilege of class member-
ship carries the duty of class participation. The biggest
enemy of any organization is not found in the adversity
of some other group, but in the indifference of its alleged

supporters.

We have the opportunity to make next year's senior
class the most desirable and progressive in the history of
the college. But not until we check this apathy^and lack
of cooperation shall we have made any progress toward
this end.

7|T he Saturday Review of about a month ago carried
^ a rare bit of journalistic fun which we must confess,
to our eternal chagrin, we had overlooked until that erudite
literateur and scholar Butch Brynildson brought it to our
attention. It is a review, by Lovell Thompson, of the Sears
Roebuck catalogue, spring and summer, 1937.
7|T ongue in cheek, Mr. Thompson holds up for our in-
'" spection a thousand page Baedeker to rural America,
the land of butter and eggs, peaches and cream, certainties,
an Eden before the fall.

lji ou can," says Mr. Thompson, "buy everything you
S» need for living in the garden of Eden— and nothing
else. You can get shotguns and .22 rifles, but not a revolver.
You can have whisk-brooms and whistling tea-kettles, but
not whiskey. You can have cocktail glasses, but not a
shaker. There is no Last Supper in Sears', but "Last
Lunch" makes rats die beyong Eden's .gates. You can't
grow old, because a transformation made of grey hair
costs more than one made of black or brown. You can
have life insurance, but not a coffin. "Sears' Eden is

well fenced. There are seven pages of fences, so it follows
that there need be only three pages ef fire-arms and one
of dogs' accoutrements. Within the sturdy fences that
keep out rats and foxes, there is leasure and merry-making.
There are ten pages of musical instruments, and ten more
of radios . There are fishing rods, tennis rackets, base-
ball outfits, croquet sets, rubber-tired lawn mowers, and
American flags. But not much golf equipment. Eden is
not troubled by riches.

/|T heerful, energetic, thrifty, and young are the people
^ who are silhouetted in the Sears' catalogue, whose
lives are implied by the things they buy. The photographs
and models are unanimous about this. The race is tall and
cleanly built, but not lanky ... »

73T hese young people are frilled and flounced and, in
^ spite of boasts to the contrary, not much influenced
by the most modern styles. Sears still offers them dust
caps and night shirts Campus is a word of praise, an
unattainable standard, as are London and Paris for Sixth
avenue. They wear initials on their trousers, because
'College men who like . . originality and pep in their
clothes have helped to make these slacks a favorite on
campuses all over the country. Priced to fit into the young
man's budget without crowding. Two nickle-plated rust-
proof initials included."

Eden takes nothing for granted. Sears pictures an egg
basket full of eggs, but explains that the eggs are not
included in the modest price. But not even Sam Slick needs
to be told that you don't get the girls in the bathing suits.
In Eden there is not much time for reading, w' rther the
Edeners are too tired or too sociable is not clear. Hand-
books on etiquette, dancing, games, recitations, letter-writ-
ing, and synonyms predominate — books of action, not
books of escape."

rfjjttr. Thompson's article is callld "Eden in Easy Pay-
•^•ments," and is worth the trouble of looking it up

COMPREHENSIVE

(Continued from page one)
Downes, who took the economics
examination expressed a desire to
have it principally oral.

Allin Stephens found little to criti-
cize in the examination itself except
that not enough chance was given in
his examination, chemistry, to write on
the subject in which he had special-
ized. He sees hope in revolutionizing
the present inefficient method of study
of most students. Marcella Ardern,
home economics major, characterized
her exam as the fairest she had ever
taken. She found its value in coordi-
nating an entire field with all of the
related subjects. Improvements she
would suggest are that it be given in
the morning and that the grading
system be revised.

Fred Jewett, a major in Bible, be-
lieved that almost anyone with an
average amount of general information
could make a passing grade, an
opinion shared by David Brittain who
took his examination in economics.
Brittain found the exams long, tedious,
and unnecessary, as they measured
nothing. Fred Young, taking the same
examination, shared Brittain's idea,
adding that he thought they might be
worthwhile if their generality were
lessened and objectivity increased.

Daphne Harris, an English major,
sees a value in the examinations as a
study stimulus. She believes that the
reorganization of the English course of
study will validate the comprehensive
in that field. Mary Frances Ooten
found the entire value of the com-
prehensive arising out of the extent to
which it stimulates genuine desire for
knowledge from the very beginning of
the college career.

Mark Andrews, a major in history,
felt that his examination was a good
one, but that the wide choice of ques-
tions made the answers comparatively
simple. Its value to the student lies in
its correlation of his knowledge. Nor-
man Beamer regarded the examina-
tions this year as an experiment and
finds value only in its motivating force
in the future. Beamer, who took the
chemistry test, emphasized that in

many fields the system might "leak"
in that the wide choice would make it
possible for a student to draw from
only one or two recent courses, there-
by destroying its comprehensive
nature.

In general the tests this year have
been regarded as worth while by stu-
dents and. faculty members alike.
General points of agreement have
been that it is futile to study for the
examinations and that the value in the
future will depend entirely on how
each student regards the knowledge
presented in his courses. If the com-
prehensive system can somehow serve
to give students a thirst for knowledge
for its own sake, then the experiment
has been worth while.

Much more ominous than the fearful growth of crime,
intemperance, or divorce is the alarming increase in the
number of graduates being turned out annually by our
colleges and universities.

Twenty years ago, there were so few students gradu-
ating yearly that they could easily be thrust into obscure
niches in the social structure, where they could do very
little harm; consequently college graduates were not
much more of a problem than were the feeble-minded or
delinquent groups.

But today, with millions of formerly normal, healthy
American young men and women enrolling and graduating
from our institutions of learning, it is imperative that
society take steps to protect itself from this plague of
culture and learning.

According to rumor, the president of the United States
himself has confessed that in a moment of weakness, when
he was too young to know better, he matriculated at an j
Eastern university. Pessimistic observers wail that it is
only a matter of time until Congress itself — that mighty
bulwark of ignorance — will be tainted with the deadly
fumes of education by the presence of college graduates,
who will seep like poisonous gases into the pure ethereal
atmosphere of the national legislature. Woe betide our
fair land if we should ever be afflicted with a Congress
capable of adding, subtracting, and carrying on other such
complicated branches of higher mathematics!

The sole step which the government has taken to throttle
Education was the formation of the N. Y. A., but this
National Youth Assassination seems a rather cold-blooded
method of accomplishing the desired end.

What can be done with these huge numbers of graduates
who are boiling off yearly from the witch's pot of higher
education? Our prisons and feeble-minded institutions
are already over-crowded; besides, all humanity would
cry out in sympathy with the criminals and feeble-minded,
if they were forced to share their cells with college
graduates.

Some experts suggest the founding of a college graduate
colony on some South sea island, something on the order
of the leper colony. A ship could stop near the island every
June, to leave fresh graduates and exchange mail, which
would be carefully fumigated to prevent the education
virus fio.n spreading to the outside world.

Le^s human authorities believe that college graduates
should be substituted for the rats and guinea pigs com-
monly used in laboratory experimentation.

But these plans make no attempt to cure the disease
at its roots. The process of getting an education is similar
to that of becoming addicted to the use of opium. We must
prevent our young children from getting their first taste
of the deadly weed education, if we are to prevent their
degenerating into putty-willed driveling, educated
wrecks, with uncontrollable craving and appetite for
Brahms, Michelangelo, Browning and Shakespeare.

In regard to our own Maryville seniors, who have
already slipped so far from the straight and narrow path
of ignorance, we can only choke back a sob, solemnly
promise that never shall the world learn the black
secret from our lips, and urge the seniors to try to get
along somehow, in spite of the handicap of a college
education.

AN OLD

GUIDE BOOK

TO GOOD LIVING

You are always hearing of new ways of
making money and of handling it after you
get it.

But do not forget that old reliable guide-
book to better days — your bank book.

When you deposit money here at interest,
it is no exaggeration to say that you are
putting it in one of the safest places in the
world. You are safeguarded by our own re-
sources and protected, also, by Federal De-
posit Insurance, up to $5,000 for each de-
positor.

Times may change, but this fact will not
change — that money saved and ready at
hand, is a mighty help to any man or
woman.

SHALL IT BE ORCHIDS?

A bit curious about the individual achievements of the Scot cindermen
this year, and with little or nothing else to do, we burrowed into the records
this past week. We offer you a partial resume of the results.

Scoring honors go to Weldon Baird, sophomore weight and middle
distance man, who rang up a total of 64 tallies, 25 ahead of his nearest rival,
Guy Propst, who garnered 39.

To Baird, who stepped into the almost- unfillable track shoes of Roy
Talmage when mumps downed the Scot captain, must go a large portion of the
credit for any success attained by the Scotties this season.

Broken into small pieces, his record reveals ten first places, three
seconds, and four thirds.

Three of those firsts left new Smoky Mountain records in their wake.
A 121 foot heave in the discus at Johnson City broke the old mark by five
feet, and a :50.5 quarter, with a 2:02.6 time in the half, added two more stars
in the Baird crown.

Guy Propst deserves praise for his season's efforts, too. Working
throughout with a troublesome football injury, Propst was still able to rack up
six wins, two seconds, and three third places for the Scot cause.

Both Baird and Propst were among the hardest workers on Coach
Thrower's 1937 outfit. Baird will be back next year; Propst will not. Both de-
serve a big hand.

INTRAMURALS IN LIMELIGHT

Enthusiasm as well as variety seems to be the spice of the intra-mural
athletic program this month. With the golf and tennis tourneys pushed to the
side by the class softball teams, entering the home stretch in their race for
class honor and glory, there is still ample opportunity for participation by all
and sundry.

Come to think of it, although we aren't backed by the records this time,
we might venture to guess that the inter-class warfare this spring has boasted
a greater percentage of active participants than ever before. We need no
records to make us feel safe in saying that this year's slate tops them all in
variety.

Softball Rolls Merrily On

The inter-class softball race gained
momentum yesterday as the Seniors
and Frosh emerged victorious in the
day's competition.

A feature of the afternoon was the
two-fold accomplishment of Theron
Etheredge, who, in addition to blasting
a home run with the bases loaded,
rendered Junior back-stopper Danny
Shelfer temporarily hors-de-combat
with a timely blow of his war club.

Extra-base hits played a big part in
the battle between the Sophs and
Seniors. Dowell and Andrews got
credit for four-baggers, and Hand,
Brittain, Schlafer, Jussely, and Lowe

garnered triples from the offerings of
hurlers Cooper, White, and Andrews.

Third In State,
Scotties Close
Track Campaign

Winning third place in the state
meet, behind Tennessee and South-
western, the Scot trackmen ended
Saturday a track season marked by
bad breaks.

Starting off April 10 with a 46 1-3
to 79 1-2 loss to U. T., the Thrower-
men showed promises of developing
into a first class team. Outclassed in
only one event, the javelin, they had
grabbed firsts in four events and
seconds in eight.

Then, a few days before the LMU
meet on the following Saturday, Roy
Talmage dropped out with an attack
of mumps. Talmadge, the Scots' main
threat, had won firsts in the quarter

and half at Knoxville and was con-
sidered an almost certain winner in
the remaining dual and conference
meets. His loss, despite more than
capable efforts by Weldon Baird, who
replaced him, broke up what should
have been a winning combination.

Another minor disaster then over-
took the Scots as a long siege of wet
weather interrupted practice and
forced them to run their two home
meets on a water-soaked oval.

One of the sore spots of the season
was the poor showing in the Smoky
Mountain Conference meet at John-
son City. In spite of a brilliant per-
formance by Baird, who broke three
loop records, the Scots were nosed out
of the championship for the second
time under Coach Bob Thrower's
regime, being edged by Milligan.

With only four more games left on

against Lincoln Memorial university

games will decide the winner of the
pennant for the Smoky mountain con-

four games, as she should easily do,
the Scotties will regain , the crown
they lost last year for the second time

Scotties, getting nineteen hits off the

'HERE'S AN OLD SOUTHERN CUSTOM, originating

■ in Louisiana, by which a merchant demonstrates

his appreciation of patronage and makes a bid for its

continuance. It consists of giving a little more goods

than are paid for; the gift is "lagniappe."

When you buy a railway ticket or pay a freight bill, you purchase a
certain amount of transportation— no more, no less. But the railroad is a
human institution; its workers want you to know that they appreciate
your patronage and hope you will come again. This feeling they show
by special attention to your needs — in
other words, by the true "lagniappe" of
courtesy and cordiality.

You will remember a railroad for the
little things that contribute to your peace
of mind — the convenience, speed and
safety of your freight, the pleasant word,
the information, the pillows, the extra
cup of coffee on the diner. We on the
Illinois Central sum it up by calling ours
"The Road of Cordial Service."

IN PARTING . . .

It has been a reminder of my student
days to talk this year to students
through these advertisements. Many
have submitted essays in our contest
and are now awaiting the results to be
announced before June. The Illinois
Central will welcome opportunities
to serve your travel needs during
the summer vacation. And may that
vacation be a pleasant one for you all.

Head States Changes

(Continued from page one)
carry two hours of credit each
semester.

For the following year it is plan-
ned to offer further courses of both
sorts. Also, for next year, a general
course is offered in art history and
appreciation as an elective for
juniors and seniors not specializing
ing in art.

In the department of chemistry
there is no change except that
physical chemistry is to be given
each year instead of in alteration.
In dramatic art the order of the
advanced courses is changed so as
to make the second year's offering,
201-202, Play Production and
Stagecraft.

In education the principal change
is the shifting of the course in
educational sociology to this de-
partment from its former place
among the sociology offerings. It
will continue to count toward the
sociology major.

The course in the History of Edu-
cation, formerly 303, is renumbered
203 and it is no longer necessary
to have had Psychology 201 in
order to take it.

The requirements for the major
in English are rather fundamentally
changed. The course 209-210, Sur-
vey of English Literary History,
formerly required of majors, is
discontinued and from a gtoup of
seven (21 hours) courses covering
the periods of literary history from
the Middle Ages to the present, each
major is to choose and take at
least five (15 hours). As before, one
semester of American literature is
specified. The American Poetry
course is renumbered as 225 and
the American Prose as 226. These
are to Sophomores henceforth and
one or the other of them in one
semester and systematic discourse
in the other will make up the nor-
mal English program of English
majors in the sophomore year. Be-
side these specified courses, six
elective hours are to be takan, mak-
ing a total major requirment of
thirty-two hours.

The French offering includes a
new course, French 250, French
Composition, required as a part of
the major in French henceforth.

Three new courses in history are
announced for next year. 301, The

Teaching and the Social Sciences
in the High School, a course de-
signed to accommodate those who
plan to teach history or social
science in states which require a
special methods course in the field
of the major. A course in United
States Constitutional History, 327,
is being given in the first semester,
and an Advanced British History
course covering the Stuart Period,
328, is being offered in the second
semester.

A number of minor changes have
been made in the music offerings.
Two new courses are offered: The
Development of the Pianoforte and
its Literature, 316; and Methods and
Materials of Piano Instruction, 322.
The Sociology department an
nounces a new course, The Family,
306, to be given first in 1938-1939.

John Lancaster was elected president
of the Hi Trail club at a meeting of
that organization Monday evening at
eight o'clock. He succeeds Lynn Craw-
ford, who is this year's president.

The other new officers are Raymond
Nelson, vice president, and Earnest
Crawford, secretary-treasurer.

Two new members, Winford Ross
and Edward Jussely, were brought into
the organization at the meeting.

than one-third the size of our regular
college payrolls for the year."

Administration of the federal funds
has been carried out since their initia-
tion in February, 1934, by college
officials in addition to their regular
duties. The entire amount of the ap-
propriation is paid out for student
work on projects generally of an edu-
cational nature. The opportunities of
the program are limited to students who
can qualify on the basis of need, chara-
cter and ability, and attendance status.

No assurance has been given that N.
Y. A. funds even in a reduced amount,
will be available next year. Institutions
receiving its benefits have been re-
quested to make suggestions concern-
ing its values and possible improve-
ment in administration. Final assign-
ment of amounts to be earned by stu-
dents next year can not be made until
government notification has been re-
ceived concerning the N. Y. A., pro-
bably late in the summer.

Helpful Hints On How
To Worry

One of the first rules, of course, is always to remember the future.
Keep it foremost in your mind-but lay no plans for it. Seize no
opportunities. Save nothing. Invest nothing. Do nothing. Just fret-and
fume. Be utterly miserable, worry about yourself as you will be when
old age comes. Of course, if you prefer not to worry, you might look
into this thing called life Insurance.

Final Evening

Violinists Assist Emory,
Vaughn, Pianists

On last Tuesday evening Mary
Emory and Gwendolyn Vaughan pre-
sented a joint graduate piano recital
in the Fine Arts studio. They were
assisted by Elizabeth Spahr and Ed-
ward Brubaker, violinists.

The program consisted of the Allegro
from Mozart's Sonata No. 12 in B flat
major, played by Mary Emory; Canto
Amoroso, of Sammartini-Elman, by
Elizabeth Spahr; the Presto of Beet-
hoven's Sonata Opus 10 No. 3, by
Gwendolyn Vaughn; Faure's Lullaby,
and Dennee's Finale, by Mary Emory;
the Romanza of Wieniwaski's Concer-
to in D minor, by Elizabeth Spahr;
Balakirew's L'Alouette, by Gwendolyn
Vaughan; Hejre Kati, by Hubay, play-
ed by Edward Brubaker; Mokrejs's
Valcik in D flat, and Palmgren's Der
Schwarze Domino, by Mary Emory,
with Miss Da vies at the second piano;
and the Presto giocoso of MacDowell's
Concerto in D minor, Opus 23, by
Gwendolyn Vaughan, with Miss Davies
at the second piano.

Accompanying the violinists were
Zillah McKenzie and Mary Elizabeth
Moore.

One of the largest casts ever to
appear in a dramatic production at
Maryville will be seen Saturday even-
ing, June 5, when the senior class pre-
sents Maxwell Anderson's play "Mary
of Scotland." Weeks of intensive re-
hearsals, long hours of work on the
designing of sets, and the directorship
of Mrs. Nita Eckles West all point
toward a successful presentation of the
brilliant historical drama.

The play concerns the dramatic story
of the jealousy of Elizabeth, played by
Deane Bell; for Mary, Queen of Scots,
interpreted by Ruth Proffitt. The action
of the drama begins just after the
latter has returned from France to
ascend the throne. The first scene is
laid in Leith, Scotland, the second in
Elizabeth's study in Whitehall, Eng-
land. The first act closes in the setting
of the hall of Mary Stuart.

The scene is the same as the second
act opens, returning to England again
to a picture of Elizabeth's mad jeolousy
as the intensity of the drama increases.
A brilliant scene, a hall in Dunbar
castle in the Scottish highlands whence
Mary has fled her would-be captors,
closes the second act.

The third act is presented in a sin-
gle powerful dramatic stroke, showing
Mary in a prison room of Elizabeth's
castle in England when she hears of
the treacherous death of her lover and
last hope, Bothwell, played by Reese

Achievement Tests Include
Nine Major Fields

Plans of the college for 1937-1938 in-
clude participation in the national
sophomore testing program sponsored
each year by the American Council on
Education. The examination is given
to the sophomores of each United
States college and university wishing
to participate, the results of the exami-
nations being rated against a national
norm established by all students tak-
ing the test.

The examination will be given dur-
ing the second semester of each col-
lege year. The test differs from the
freshman scholastic aptitude examina-
tion in that it is a test of achievement

New Chilhowean Follows Scottie

Theme in Bright-Colored Plaid

Following eight r^onths' planning
and preparation the 1937 Chilhowean
will be delivered to the student body
this week, according to an announce-
ment to the staff. Unique in many re-
spects, the new yearbook will follow
a "Scottie" theme in the college colors,
orange and garnet.

The cover will be a bright, four-
color wool plaid, this material cover-
ing all of the front board but a two

Making a special trip from Nashville
late Thursday, John Benson, publisher
of the Chilhowean, informed the
editor, Simpson Spencer, of labor
difficulties which necessitate postpone-
ment of delivery another week. He also
emphasized the fact that the books
cannot be released at Nashville until
a certain minimum payment of the
balance due on the books is made.
Treasurers of all delinquent organiza-
tions must make full payment to John
C. Mclntyre, business manager of the
Chilhowean, by next Thursday.

inch margin at the left. The left bor-
der, the backbone, and the black board
will be covered with a garnet velour
suede. In keeping with the idea of
simplicity and straight lines through-
out, the name of the book will not
appear on the cover. The flyleaves

will be a bright orange, continuing the
school color theme.

The divisional pages will be a four-
color reproduction of the plaid cover-
ing of the book, adding internal color
seldom seen in a college annual.
"Scottie" cartoons for these pages were
drawn by Frank Scarpino, a Passaic,
New Jersey, artist. The volume will be
dedicated to Dr. George Alan "Daddy"
Knapp.

The informal motif will be developed
in the faculty section where informal
snapshots replace the former portraits
of the departmental heads. Likewise
in the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A.
sections snapshots of Retreat and "Y"
activities will add interest. The pictures
of the class officers will also be infor-
mal.

"Bleeding", gr extending illustra-
tions to the edge of the page, intro-
duced in last year's book, will again
be used in an effort to make each
photograph larger. In all four class
sections and in most of the other divi-
sions the cuts will be considerably
larger than heretofore. A novel addi-
tion to the book will be the introduc-
tion of a separate Fine Arts section.
Action shots in both basketball and
football will add interest to the ath-
letics division.

The Encyclopedia Must Go

Despite the quite evident popularity
of the encyclopedia stands in the
library as meeting places in the even-
ing, a recent survey seems to indicate
that one by one the intelligentsia are
becoming aware of the unparalled
menace of the encyclopedia to the
liberal arts education. There is not the
slightest exaggeration in saying that
with the possible exception of union-
ized moonshining, these books in
sheep's clothing exert an influence on
Maryville college detrimental to the
point of being almost destructive.

For illustratoin, let us cite a per-
sonal experience far from uncommon
to us or apparently to many other
harrassed participants in this institu-
tion's advantages. Recently, while
feverishly throwing together material
for a paper in a heroic attempt to
better by a few hours our best previous
record of six days late, we had occasion
to discover the exact dates of the
birth and decease of Lorenzo de
Medici, celebrated politician and— well,
politician. We chose, properly enough,
volume fifteen of the Encyclopedia
Britannica, bearing the promising
title of "Mary to Mus." So far
so good. But before we had more than
fairly begun, on page twelve to be
specific, we were stopped dead by a
full page color plate of some examples I

of the work of Mr. W. T. Benda, mask-
maker extraordinary. Further illus-
trations of the truly dramatic efforts
obtained by a mask well worn invited
a perusal of the article. But remem-
bering Lorenzo, we plunged on, re-
ceiving considerable encouragement
not to linger from innumerable untidy
pages of mathemtaical symbols. We
had achieved such momentum that we
were forced to retreat several pages to
find the travel photos of Mexico that
had caused our precipitous halt. They
weren't any good, but this is open
season for any photograph of any
place except where we are. Then, in
rapid sequence followed pages and
pages of striking illustrations of Moon,
Mosaics, Moscow, Mosque, and Motion
pictures, to say nothing of Motor
boat, Motor car, and Mountain. And
it was the fleecy white clouds swirling
around a snow-capped peak that broke
the spell, and told us that we had been
wool-gathering again. Returning con-
sciousness also brought the sobering
realization that the Mo of mountain
is far past the Me needed for Medici.
To make matters worse, the bell began
to ring, postponing the inevitable back-
tracking through Mohammed, Mezzo-
tint, and Metallography. And once
again we went down in ignominious

Since the recent death of Mrs. T. T.
Alexander of the class of 1875, Mrs.
Sarah Henry Hood of Knoxville is the
oldest living graduate of Maryville
college. Mrs. Hood graduated in the
class of 1877 and this year celebrates
the sixtieth anniversary of her gradua-
tion.

Mrs. Alexander was the last living
member of the class of 1875 and since
all of the members of the class of
1876 are dead Mrs. Hood is now the
oldest alumna of the college. Dr.
Samuel Tyndale Wilson, president
emeritus of the college, graduated in
the class of 1878 and is the next oldest
living graduate.

Mrs. Hood was the sister of Miss
Margaret E. Henry, the secretary of
student help at the college from 1903
until her death in 1916, and who was
one of the best loved members of the
college staff.

'36 Grad Manufacturers

New Practical Eraser

Warren E. Jones, member of the
class of '36, is the inventor of a new
type of ink, pencil and typewriter
eraser, which he is now manufacturing
for national distribution in Chicago,
Illinois, according to a report received
here recently.

The eraser, manufactured under a
patent now pending before the United
States Bureau of Copyrights and
Patents, is produced under the name
"E-ra-sure". Two types are produced,
one for hard, smooth surfaces, and a
softer type for more delicate work. The
outstanding features of the new in-
vention are its durability, and the
fact that after erasure has been made,
it leaves the cleaned surface smooth
enough to permit writing over the
same spot.

Mr. Jones, who majored in mathe-
matics while attending college, has
won a scholarship to the University
of Chicago for next year, where he
will do his master's work in mathema-
tics. News of his invention, accom-
panied by a sample of the "E-ra-sure"
were received in a letter from Mr.
Jones by Walter West this week.

Workshop Elects
Board, Committee

Best Works Are Selected
For Library File

Assembled Monday afternoon for its
last regular meeting this year, Writers'
Workshop elected its governing board
and membership committee for next
year. Miss Elizabeth Jackson, Jessie
Cassada, Simpson Spencer, and Don
Stevens will constitute the new gov-
erning board. Miss Jessie Heron, Dr.
Edwin R. Hunter, Carolyn Harrar, and
Edith Pierce were elected to the
membership committee.

The old members of the Workshop
voted by secret ballot for the five
manuscripts read during the past
semester which they consider of suffi-
cient merit to warrant their preser-
vation in the new Workshop file in
the library.

Daphne Harris was honored by the
selection of her short story, "The Way
of a Man", a colloquial portrayal of a
young East Tennessee couple. Dr.
Hunter's poem, "Two Queens", in-
spired by a chapel scripture reading
of the story of Jezebel, was another
manuscript to be selected. Two short
stories, "To Pina and I", by Shirley
Jackson, and "Farmer", by John
Stafford were also included.

Don Stevens' collection of poems,
"Bagatelles", several of which were
reprinted in the Echo, received the
highest number of votes.

The Writers' Workshop will close its
year's activities with a picnic beyond
"The House in the Woods" Monday
afternoon at which the new members
will be initiated.

Two Midwinters

Committees Appointed By
Bainonian, Athenian

That the literary societies will pre-
sent two midwinters next year in-
stead of the usual four was definitely
decided after the combined meeting of
Alpha Sigma and Theta Epsilon last
week. Athenian and Bainonian passed
on the measure previously, but it
needed action by the other two
societies to make the proposal final.

Athenian and Bainonian have
already appointed their committees to
work out plans for the production of
the one midwinter. The Athenian com-
mittee consists of Edward Brubaker,
William McGill, and Marvin Minear.
Bainonian president Dorothea Stadle-
mann has appointed Lois Black, Deane
Brown, Carol Dawn Ward, and Louise
Proffitt.

The movement to limit the number
of midwinters was begun by prominent
campus leaders and received its im-
petus when Athenian appointed a
committee to work with Bainonian to
investigate the proposal. The reports
of these committees were presented at
their society meetings and accepted by
the organizations with the provision
that like proposals should be passed
upon by Theta Epsilon and Alpha
Sigma. The action of these groups last
Saturday evening has started definite
work towards the establishing of this
new system .

NOTICES

Attention Seniors

At the meeting of the Execu-
tive council, May 20, it was de-
cided that any senior, if he so
desires, may be excused from the
test in the final round of tests
in any course in which he has a
grade of C or above.

Several students of Maryville college
who were affected by the strike of the
Aluminum plant at Alcoa are Lee
Hannah, Paul Fox and Charles Mars-
tiller, who worked in the medical de-
partment, and James Proffitt, who
worked in the physical testing labora-
tory.

These men say that conditions in the
plant are above the average for the
South. One of the college men stated
that he had never yet talked to a
worker who was in favor of the strike.
Mr. Proffitt was heard to observe that
many Maryville men will be forced to
work on the farm this summer if the
plant continues closed.

THIS ANNUAL AFFAIR

Every year the difficulty of con-
vincing some students of their financial
obligations seems to increase. There are
always a few who are willing to share in
the privileges of their group but who are
unwilling to bear its responsibilities. The
Chilhowean contract calls for delivery on
a C. 0. D. basis. The staff cannot release
the books, even from the transportation
office/ until sufficient money has been
collected to cover the shipping charges.
Five hundred and fifty subscribers want
their books when they arrive. The respon-
sibility rests with the members of the two
upper classes and three of the societies.
Labor difficulties in Nashville have post-
poned delivery another week. Let's have
them paid for when they come!

OUR ADVERTISERS

Few college publications are finan-
cially able to support themselves without
outside aid in the form of advertisements.
The need arising from this condition has
led some newspapers to run advertise-
ments on inferior quality merchandise,
quack remedies, or fraudulent agencies.

The Highland Echo has solicited only
those firms that it could ethically recom-
mend to its readers.

Our advertisers have shown their
iaith in the Highland Echo as a worth-
while student publication and a paying
business investment by their continued
support. They were also influential in
providing the broadcast for this year's
May Day program.

prominent psychiatrist. This doctor seems to sum up the
whole thing when he says:

"If you think you are happy and successful, best

DEMOCRACY

Primarily,democracy is the conviction
that there are extraordinary possibilities
in ordinary people and that if we throw
wide the doors of opportunity so that all
boys and girls can bring ou the best that
is in them, we will get amazing results
from unlikely sources. Shakespeare was
the son of a bankrupt butcher and a
woman who could not write her name.
Beethoven was the son of a consumptive
mother, herself daughter of a cook, and a
drunken father. Shubert was the son of
a peasant father and a mother who had
been in domestic service. Faraday, one of
the greatest scientific experimenters of all
time, was born over a stable, his father
an invalid blacksmith and his mother a
common drudge. Such facts as these
underlie democracy. That is why, with all
its discouraging blunders, we must ever-
lastingly believe in it.

—Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick

A GOOD SPORT

A good sport is a combination of a hero, a martyr
and a humorist, with a deep sense of justice acknowledging
the rights of others to his own disadvantage and comfort,
relieving the harsh realities of life's drama with the
brighter and warmer colors of good fellowship and
generosity without spoiling the comedy through self-love
and false susceptibility. He can smile when it rams on a
picnic day, laugh at a joke about himself, shake hands
with a man who inadvertently knocks him down with
his car, forgive the friend who marries the girl he loves,
and die on the battlefield for his country with a smile on
his lips— O. F. Page.

No, sir. Despite continued outside pressure from certain elements, we
refuse to budge. We absolutely will not apologise for either the emaciated
condition of last week's page or the breaking of editorial policy in passing

NOT THOSE BAD BUCCANEERS?

It begins to look as if the SMC baseball crown will once again grace the
fair brow of the Highlander.

To those who retain bitter memories of last season's diamond losses
to teachers, as well as a more recent 22 -0 football debacle, victory Monday and
Tuesday was doubly sweet.

The Scots must have remembered. Two more complete trouncings than
those 4-1 and 12-0 wins would be hard to find. Held to six hits for their
two-day total, the faltering champs never were able to assume even a mildly
threatening attitude, despite the fact that they retained to the last their
admirable air of confidence.

Grasp on SMC Title

The Maryville college tennis team
completed a fairly successful season
yesterday by defeating Tusculum 4-2,
in a match played on the college courts.
The results for the season were seven
victories, seven matches rained out,
and three defeats.

The first two scheduled matches
with the University of Chatanooga and
Union college of Kentucky which were
to have been played here April 9 and
10 were both rained out and the
Scotties lost the first played match to
the University of Tennessee, 5-2 on

April 12. On April 14 came the first

the Scots out with any proficiency whatever, they showed somewhat less than
championship calibre in general, but they did have confidence. Where they
got it or why they kept it we don't know, but like the LMU team that
trailed 20-5 going into the ninth, they seemed to have little doubt that they
were about to stage a winning rally.

And maybe they would have if Toots the Blazer had had his way and
pitched the last frame.

Be that as it may, the precocious pedagogues came, saw, and got con-
quered, and all is serene in Mudville1 as we pause silently for a moment's
meditation on how the, mighty hath fallen

WE WONDER

Could it be that Teacher pitcher Winters had something on the ball after
the third inning Tuesday, or were the Scots just tired of running bases?

TOUGH LUCK, COACH

To Coach George Fischbach, mentor of the Scot Tennismen, goes the
sack cloth and ash award for undeserved misfortune.

His team this season won 7 and lost 3. And they firmly believe that,
except for rained out matches, it woud be 14 and 3.

college, 4-3.

Maryville broke even on the first
road trip of the year, losing to East
Tennessee Teachers and winning over
Tusculum. Both of these matches were
partially rained out. Then on the
second road trip of the season two of
the four scheduled matches were
rained out and the Highlanders de-
feated Union college, 3-1; and Cum-
berland college, 5-1.

Maryville won over Union in a re-
turn match on May 5, 7-0. The Uni-
versity of Tennessee defeated the
Scotties for the second time in the
season at Knoxville 6-1.

In the state meet held at U. T. on
May 14 and 15 the only Maryville
entrant to make the quarter finals was
Kuss Colombo but when he was de-
feated in his match, thus being
eliminated.

The following men are sure of re-
ceiving letters for the past season:
Captain Ted Gillingham, Frank Mor-
row, Keith Augenstein, Russ Colombo,
and Bill Meeks. Of these five Gilling-
ham, Morrow, Augenstein, and Colom-
bo will probably be in college next
year and so the prospects for next
season are bright.

The resume of the past season:

April 9— University of Chattanooga
(H) rained out.

April 10— Union college, Kentucky
(H) rained out.

April 12— University of Tennessee
(H) 2-5.

April 14— Tusculum college (H)

April 20— East Tennessee Teachers

April 26— Union (T) 3-1.

April 27— Centre (T) rained out

April 28— East Kentucky Teachers
(T) rained out.

April 29-Cumberland (T) 5-1.

May 5— Union (H) 7-0.

Maryville's title-bound Scots took
another SMC win yesterday from
Lincoln Memorial university, 6-2.

It was their third triumph over LMU
this year and their eighth Smoky
Mountain scalp against two losses,
leaving them as the real leaders of the
loop, although Milligan, with fewer
games played, is undefeated.

James The Ripper Collins was the
big- gun for Maryville, holding the
Railsplitters well in hand with six
scattered hits and amassing a couple
of hits in his own behalf.

Toots Blazer's triple was the heaviest
blow of the fray. Although they got
only seven hits off Sowder, LMU
twirler, the Scotties made them count
for a six-run total.

They will meet the Harrogate team
again today in an attempt to sweep
the series and cinch the Mountain
crown, which is on the way back after
being lost to Teachers last year.

While the Sophomores were divid-

Last Thursday morning, very un-
expectedly at 11:15, the first "Call to
Arms" sounded. Spectators were
greatly surprised at the facility and
dispatch with which the companies
assembled, and marched off to attack
the imaginary enemy, which had been
located in the College woods. The
enemy having been "conquered," the
battalions marched in review before
President Wilson, Dr. Stevenson, a
visitor, and other members of the

FITS AND FIZZLES

By FRED RHODY

The psychiatrist chances to meet an
acquaintance on the street:

"Good morning, Brown; how are you
today?"

"I'm fine, Doctor; never felt better

in my life!"

"M-m-m, that's bad. One of the
positive symptoms of impending com-
plete mental collapse is the delusion
of well-being. Brown, it may not be
too late to save you; come into my
office with me."

"But, Doctor, I'm feeling great;
there's not a thing wrong with me! 1
just finished a hearty breakfast, kissed
my wife, and"

"Kissed your wife! Poor fellow.
Good thing you met me before your
mind fell apart completely. I'll have
you up and around in a few months.
Now, let's probe into your sub-con-
sciousness a bit."

"Now, Doc, you know how ticklish I
am around the ribs."

"Tell me, do you sleep with your
mouth open?"
"No, of course not."
"You don't? Well, who are we to let
your personal sleeping habits stand in
the way of our psychological analysis
of your psychosis? Have you ever been
to the acquarium?"
"Yes, certainly."

"Now we are getting somewhere. Do
you realize' that your sleping with your
mouth open is the result of your
waching the fish gaping in the glass
tanks at the acquarium?"

"But I don't sleep with my mouth
open, I told you."

"Brown, if we are to get anywhere
with this analysis you'll have to stop
quibbling and cooperate with me. Now,
give me a number, quickly."
"Trinity 0947; ask for Mabel."
"On your fifth birthday, Brown, did
your father wear his red necktie with
the brown gravy stains?"
"Well, ah-uh ..."
"Your memory is failing, Brown— a
serious symptom. Wish I could re-
member the technical name for it.
Looks much more impressive on the
symptoms chart."

"I remember that I felt great until
you started asking me these fool
questions."

"I am delving into your past in an
attempt to discover any grounds for
blackfrnail— I mean to discover the
cause of the phychosis we hope you
are suffering from. Just be patient.
Your mouth tells me you are morbid;
your ears, that you are modest; and
your eyes tell me that you are going
to raise the roof when you find how
much I'm soaking you for this con-
sultation. By the way, Brown, how do
you feel now?"

"Terrible, Doctor, terrible. I'm
afraid my mind is going to crack any
minute."

"Good, fine, splendid. That's the way
all my patients respond to my treat-
ment. Ten dollars, please. And any time
you get that dangerous delusion of
well-being again, come back here and
m fix you up in no time.'

Juniors Give Open Party
Around Gypsy Campfire

A gypsy campfire featured the "As
You Like It" presented by the junior
class last Saturday evening, on the
baseball field.

Students grouped around the fire
were given a program by entertainers
dressed in gypsy fashion. Helen Ma-
quire told fortunes; Edward Brubaker
rendered a violin solo; Bernard Boyatt
and Florence Butman gave a gypsy
dance; John Magill led the audience in
a "community sing"; Lilian Borgquist
sang "By the Bend of the River"; and
William Karukas performed a Russian
dance.

An important feature of the program
were the moving pictures of the
Olympic games. These pictures were
presented in the Alumni Gymnasium
and were obtained through the psycho-
logy department.

The program was arranged by Helen
Maguire, who was aided by Helen
Miller, Donald Rugh, and Harold True-

single page, devoting six full pages to
snapshots. A two page spread will pre-
sent twenty seniors selected by the
Chilhowean as "personalities." Pic-
tures of the most consistent couples
among the upperclassmen will be
another item in the feature section.

It is expected that the treasurers of
the four classes will assist in the distri-
bution. Announcement will be made by
bulletin and in chapel as to procedure
of students in securing their annuals
as soon as payment of outstanding
obligations makes delivery possible.

ENCYCLOPEDIA

(Continued from page one)

defeat before the sheer superabun-
dance of knowledge in an encyclopedia,
while time marched on, and scholar-
ship stood in obeyance. Is it not
evident then, that in view of the
jeapordized traditions of Maryville
college as an institution of learning,
and individual reputations as writers
of papers, the encyclopedia must go?

Proffitt's this week is featuring
gifts for the graduates. They have
many varieties at many prices, and
you will be sure to find just what you
are looking for. The gift that is always
appreciated is hose. New colors for
summer wear are Moondusk, Misty,
Plaza Beige and Biltmore. Misty is a
medium beige for wear with browns
and beige, navy and wine. Moondusk
is a neutral gray to wear with navy
and grayish blue, rich deep red, gray
and black. Plaza Beige harmonized
with blues, vivid reds, wine, rose,
yellow, and black. Biltmore is a sunny
shade for summer wear and evening
wear. It complements white, gold or
silver sandals. They also have more
brilliant colors such as Sun tan, High
Noon, and Cinnamon. There are also
Humming Bird Daven-Crepes which
have been tested for wearability, and
have extra silk woven in to guard
against rims. For especially lovely
sheers, see the Se-Ling hose. These
are offered in many different colors
and are very beautiful.

Another appropriate gift is compacts.
Down at Proffitt's they have Yardley's
compacts, both double and single, for
either cake or loose powder. Evening
in Paris compacts feature famous Paris
landmarks and customs^ Bath acces-
sories are acceptable at any time. Huge
bottles of Yardley's bath crystals com-
bined with a cake of soap is an
especially nice gift. Talc, either scented
with lavender or April violets, is
pleasing. They also have cologne,
sachets, and bath sets including
lavendomeal, soap, and dusting pow-
der.

Among the gifts for men, there is
Yardley's shaving soap in a wooden
bowl, a shaving set constising of
invisible talc, and after shaving lotion.
Colgates shave sete include tooth
paste, shaving cream, talc and a cake
of Cashmere Bouquet soap. Leather
cases containing military brushes and
comb fasten with zippers, and are ex-
ceptionally low-priced. There are also
some clever wooden holders for ties
and clothes brushes.

Since the days are growing warmer,
cotton dresses have become very im-
portant. In the Ready-to-Wear De-
partment at Proffitt's you may find
embroidered nets in tailored styles,
crisp dotted Swisses of black, navy,
red or wine, printed or solid color
linens with contrasting bands of
color, such as red, yellow and blue
on white, or green, orange and brown
on beige. Linen suits made in tailored
styles with the Nevagape adjustable
waistline, which eliminates bulging and
alterations, may be had in brown or
navy. Cotton suits with boxy jackets
are very low in price. Sea Mist dresses
are new, 50 percent silk, washable and
preshrunk.

Many new Kidettes have arrived. They
have flat striped soles and^ieete and may
be had in color combinations to suit
any color scheme. These clever, inex-
pensive shoes are suitable for sports,
campus or street wear. The Bali sandal
has no toe, and comes in yellow
and brown, all white, white and red,
or white and blue. Flowered sandals
with patent straps are good to wear
with all white dresses, or with any
solid color. If you like the wrap-around
style, see the new red sandals fea-
turing this style.

Just drop in sometime and look
over the assortment of merchandise
on display, for I really haven't the
space to tell you of the many inter-
esting things you can find at Proffitt's.

Student Body Indicates Choice

To Continue Publishing Yearbook

82.5 Percent of Students

Favor. Chilhowean

Next Year

In a special ballot this morning, pre-
pared by Weldon Baird, business man-
ager of the 1938 Chilhowean, Winford
Ross, president of the junior class, the
editor of the 1937 Chilhowean, Pro-
fessor Verton M. Queener, and Dr.
Ralph W. Lloyd, the student body
voted to continue the publishing of a
yearbook. The results of the voting
will bear on the report of the Faculty
Committee on Publication before the
Executive council.

Of the 661 students voting, 553, or
82.5 prcent voted in favor of the pro-
position presented concerning the con-
tinuation of the Chilhowean. A num-
ber of ballots were inscribed with
various suggestions concerning changes
in operation of the annual. Seven of
thsee suggested placing the annual on
the general student activities fee, a
plan which has been under the con-
sideration of the administration for a
number of years. Other ballots were
inscribed: "What is a college without
an annual?" "Combine it with the col-
lege bulletin." "Does it have to be so
expensive?" "Reduce the size!" "Pay
the full price directly for the book."
"I don't think it is worth the money."
Similar comments were more facetious.
In general, due to the clear explanation
of the situation by Professor Queener
at the student body meeting, the
ballots were marked seriously and in-
telligently. The total percentage in
favor of continuation, 82.5 percent was
just slightly under Dr. Hunter's

Committee Plans Party
Of Swimming, Ping Pong

Ross is Elected
To Head Athenian

Society Proposes to Limit
Number of Polls

As a last social event before the
activities of senior week begin, the
social committee has arranged for this
evening entertainment in the form of
swimming and ping pong.

From 8 o'clock until 10 o'clock the
pool will be open for mixed swimming,
and during the same hours tables for
ping pong will be provided on the lawn
between Pearsons and Thaw halls. In
case of rain, the tables will be removed
to the gymnasium in Bartlett hall. The
activities will be entirely informal, and
those planning to attend will be free
to come and go at will, as no definite
program has been arranged.

Planned by the social committee, the
entertainment will be carried out by
the student council.

Winford Ross, junior from Texas,
was chosen to head Athenian for the
first semester next year. If a resolu-
tion before the society is passed at to-
night's meeting, he will have only one
successor next year, instead of the
usual two that are elected during the
year.

Ross has been president of this
year's Junior class and treasurer of
Student Volunteers. As well as being
library assistant, he was assistant
photographer of the 1937 Chilhowean.
He is also next year's vice president of
the Y. M. C. A.

Other officers elected at the special
meeting called Tuesday evening were
John Stafford, vice president; Walter
West, secretary; Roy Talmage, treas-
urer; William Karukas and Warren
Ashby, critics; George Hunt and Ed-
ward Brubaker, program secretaries;
Thomas Schaefer, editor; and Marvin
Minear and Weldon Baird, sergeants-
at-arms.

An amendment was proposed to the
constitution of the society providing
that the president, vice president, sec-
retary, critics, and sergeants-at-arms
be elected at the beginning of each
semester. The treasurer will serve all
year and the program secretaries will
be chosen twice each semester if this
amendment is adopted.

The officers will be installed at the
meeting this evening.

Peace Forum Elects

Spencer Chairman

"Scull is Suited
To Bothwell Role,"
Says Play Coach

Ruth Proffitt, Deane Bell

Also Lead in Tragedy,

"Mary of Scotland"

Reese Scull, who is now rehearsing
the part of Bothwell, opposite Ruth
Proffitt, in the Maxwell Anderson
tragedy, "Mary of Scotland," is extra-
ordinarily well suited to the role of
the swashbuckling fighter, lover of the
queen. "In both features and expres-
sion he is like the figure which has
come down to us in history," said Mrs.
.Nita Eckles West, director of the play,
yesterday.

His part in the senior play, to be
presented June 5, is his first important
role on the Voorhees stage. He had
important parts, however in two high
school plays, and later the male lead
in the "Masque of the Yellow Moon,"
a pageant of the Southwest presented
in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1933. Since his
matriculation here he has participated
in radio broadcasts, and has given in-
terpretive readings.

Ruth Proffitt, who plays the title
role, is known to Maryville audiences
for her work in society midwinters.
Elizabeth, who is a dramatic foil for
Mary, is being rehearsed by Deane
Bell, lead in the 1937 Theta Alpha Phi
cup winner, "Craig's Wife." The part
of the English queen has already been
interpreted this year by Lois Brown, in
Anderson's "Elizabeth the Queen."

Sets for the drama have been com-
plete for several days, and the large
stage crew is now engaged in putting
finishing touches to the scenery. "The
first advance sale of reserved seats,
held Wednesday, promised a good
crowd,"said Harold Truebger, business
manager of the play.

Throughout the entire action not
more than two of the major characters
are on the stage at the same time.

Closing its first year of existence
last night, the Peace forum elected
Simpson Spencer to succeed Raymond
Nelson as chairman for next ye»r. Ruth
Haines was elected secretary.

Plans for next year's programs in-
clude securing prominent outside
speakers to address the forum meetings
on questions relating to world peace
and war.

In the future the forum, which is
sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W.
C. A., will operate under a new consti-
tution, now being drawn up by the
executive committee of the organiza-
tion. The new constitution is to be
submitted for approval in the autumn.

Registration Day
To Be Wednesday
Aft, Thaw Hall

Catalog Containing New

Courses, Arrives

Friday

Registration of all students for next
year's classes will be held next Wed-
nesday afternoon in Thaw hall begin-
ning at 1:15. Catalogs for next year
are now in the Personnel office for
distribution and schedule cards will
be distributed in chapel Tuesday
morning.

All schedules must be approved by
the head of the department in which
the student is majoring before regis-
tration. The major professors will be on
the second floor of Thaw hall Wed-
nesday afternoon for this purpose but,
insofar as possible, next year's seniors
in the departments of biology, English,
and social science will have their sche-
dules approved before the day of re-
gistration. This is necessary because
these departments are so large.

After the schedule is approved by
the major professor the students go to
room 42 Thaw hall for the final ap-
proval of the Personnel office and from
there to the library to sign up for
classes in the usual way. The treas-
urer's office will not make out bills at
this time.

This is the only day for registration
and all schedules must be made out
then.

Next year's registration, which • was
supposed to have been held on the
third of May, has been delayed by
labor troubles in the printing plant in
which the catalog was being printed
in Nashville. Preparations for the
registration have been complete for
some time but it was impossible to
carry them out because of the lack of
catalogs. The arrival of the books on
Friday afternoon made possible the

Lamar Hospital Has Received

Over 200 Patients This Year

Celebrating Fifty Years of Happiness

By GEORGE L. HUNT

"There is one thing we are both
thankful for; we have always been
very healthy."

The speaker did not need to say that.
Anyone seeing her, sitting on the com-
fortable divan doing a needlepoint
chair cover, knew instantly that she
was good health personified. And any-
one seeing her husband reclining
easily in a leather Morris chair knew
that he did not have to worry about
his "lassitudinous liver." And anyone
seeing the way they looked at each
other, and listening to her animated
description of their trips together
would never question that Dr. and Mrs.
William Patton Stevenson have thor-
oughly enjoyed their fifty years of
married life. The anniversary which
they will celebrate next Tuesday with
as many friends and relatives as can
come to "The House in the Woods" has
come on them suddenly.

It was in a quiet suburb of Pitts-
burgh that Beth Morrison Cooper
married the young theological student.
The newspaper of the day begins its
report of the ceremony by saying,
"Dainty as the fragrant June roses
which bloomed about her, was the
bride." Smingly Mrs. Stevenson tells
us that she was married in the same
house in which she was born and that
the father of the groom performed the
ceremony. She is anticipating next
Tuesday when she will again wear
her wedding dress.

They have taken from life what they
put into it. Their first church was at
Avalon, another small Pittsburgh
suburb. Next they went to Mauch
Chunk, Pennsylvania, from there to
Titusville, in that same state, and after
that successively to Syracuse and
Yonkers, New York. In Yonkers they
stayed for fifteen years, and then in the
summer of 1917 they came to Mary-
ville. "Since this celebrates our twen-
tieth year here," says the doctor, "it
is another anniversary for 1937."

Both of them so sincerely enjoyed
the trips to Alaska, to South America,
and to Europe that there is none of
the travelogue conceit in their re-
counting.

In 1916 their son married. For many
summers they had vacationed on an
island in the Muskoka lakes, in
Canada, but when William, Junior,
graduated from Princeton university
they sold the island and took up
traveling. "He and his wife are coming
down Tuesday," smiled Mrs. Steven-
son. She explained that she had
wished that their two gi andchildren
could be there, but one was graduating
from school and the other was still
rather young. The doctor was proud
of the fact that his son and his wife
and their oldest daughter are fine
horsemen, and he showed photographs
of them going over hurdles on their
estate at Middleburg, Virginia.

The death of John D. Rockefeller re-
called to Dr. Stevenson's mind the

Mrs. Hall, Matron, Gives
General Report

By SIMPSON E. SPENCER

Mrs. Elizabeth Benedict Hall, matron
of the Lamar Memorial hospital, re-
ports that more students have been
confined in the college infirmary dur-
ing the past eight months than in any
other of her eleven years of ex-
perience at Maryville. Nearly two hun-
dred patients, one fourth of the student
body, have been hospitalized at some
time or other during the past year.

Florida students, more than any
other group, seem to be susceptible to
influenza, the disease composing the
great majority of cases, Mrs Hall said.
Thirty cases of measles and about ten
mumps patients have been an ununual
item in the patient list this year. Last
year only one student was confined
with- any of the so-called "child
diseases," a scarlet fever case. Bron-
chitis, tonsilitis, fifteen students with
appendicitis, and about ten cases of
broken bones make up the balance of
the student hospitalization instances.

Mrs. Hall and her daughter, Miss
Thelma Hall, R. N., regard the install-
ment of an operating chair in a sepa-
rate clinic room as the greatest need
of the hospital. They also emphasized
the need that has been called to the
attention of the college authorities*
each year of a medical fee to be added
to the student activities fee. Dr. Lloyd
made the statement that the matter of
adding a medical fee to the general
expense account of every student had
been under administrative consideration
for some time and gave assurance of its
ultimate inclusion in the general fee,
probably not in the immediate future,
however.

The hospital matron, whose duties
include the regular boarding of three
to six students under doctor's dietary
orders, regretted the fact that the great
number of cases this year had caused
difficulty in the rooming of the fresh-
man girls living in the building. Only
under abnormal conditions does it be-
come necessary to use more than the

NOTICES

Moriz Rosenthal, Last Living Pupil of Liszt, and Orlando
Barera, Italian Violinist, Complete Series

By WALTER P. WEST

Moriz Rosenthal, pianist, Orlando Barera, violinist, and John Charles
Thomas, Metropolitan baritone, will be brought to Maryville by the Artist
series next year, it was announced this week.

John Charles Thomas, young American singer, was born in Meyersdale,
Pennsylvania, son of a Methodist minister. He studied medicine with the view
of making it his profession, but upon the offer of a scholarship to the Peabody
Conservatory of Music, Baltimore, he tossed a coin to decide between medicine
and music. The coin fell with the music side up.

Thomas Sings in Musical Comedy
For a number of years, Mr. Thomas sang in musical comedy roles, among

— «the most famous of which were
"Apple Blossom Time" and "Maytime."
He was the first baritone to sing the
leading role in "Maytime." Although a
financial success in musical comedy,
he longed to sing opera, and prepared
himself for an operatic career in
Brussels, where he became known aS
"America's singing ambassador to
Belgium."

Returning to the United States, he
made his American operatic debut as
Amonasrov in "Aida," at Washington,
in 1924. Since that time he has sung as
guest artist in London's Convent gar-
dens, and as a member of opera com-
panies of Philadelphia, Chicago, and
San Francisco. Three years ago he
made his debut in New York in "La
Traviata."

Is Also Concert Singer
Despite his fame in opera, he is
equally well known as a concert
singer. During the past season he sang
in more than sixty concerts. For the
past three years he has given programs
in Pittsburgh, each time to large
crowds.

The Maryville audience will also
hear the last living pupil of Franz
Liszt, Moriz Rosenthal, friend of Josef
Hofmann, who appeared here this year.
Rosenthal, who was 74 years old last
December, returns to America to con-
tinue his long series of concert tours.
He studied early under Mikuli, and
later with Joseffy. At the age of four-
teen he was court pianist to the King

7|T he Literary Supplement of the London Times for
^ May 1 was devoted to the observation of a centennial
of English letters. Larger than it has been for months, it
represents a decidedly successful attempt to present
journalistically a cross-section of one of the outstanding
periods in English history. May 24, only twelve days after
the coronation, in addition to being Empire day, will be
celebrated all over the realm as the centenary of Queen
Victoria's coming of age, and the Times has noted the
trends and summed up the achievements with special
emphasis on things literary, of the subsequent hundred
years. The advances in fields so diverse as science, histor-
ical writing, fiction, archelogy, poetry, Shakespearian
studies, the theatre, and religion all come within the am-
bitious scope of the Times survey. Especially interesting
is the series of reprints of title pages which is carried
throughout this issue, demonstrating the development in
typography and publishing from a Colburn Trollope of
the 1930's to the latest edition of Shakespeare's sonnets
by Cassell. In the light of recent events, the most signifi-
cant article is "A Century of British Monarchy" with its
trvatment of the birth and growth of the new idea in
English government.

Alumna Wins Yale Prize
With Sonnet Sequence

A SUGGESTION

In spite of the many changes in sports during the
last two decades, Maryville college athletics continue to be
nominally controlled by a constitution twenty-five years
old, one with only two amendments since the last part
of 1912, the year of its adoption.

Naturally the constitution is antiquated, so much so
that it is practically disregarded. Many members who have
served on the board of control have never read the con-
stitution and consequently do not know its inadequency.

Elections are no longer held according to the con-
stitution. Article 1, section 2, states that "every teacher in
Maryville college is a member of this association,"
and article 2, section 1, states that "officers of this associ-
ation shall be elected at the annual meeting, which shall
be called for the second Monday in may." Faculty members
never attend these elections nor are the elections ever held
at the time designated by this article. Neither are the
managers or captains elected at the times specified by
articles 3, 5, and the amendment to number 5.

According to the constitution, "there shall be an
atheltic editor for the Maryville College Monthly chosen
by the board of control. He shall be elected the first week
in May." There is no Maryville Monthly, no athletic editor,
nor was there an election for such a non-existing office
held during the first week in May.

Article 6 is a honey. "Each manager, previous to a
game shall appear before the board The board shall give
permission for each game unless valid reasons exist for
refusing it." Imagine one of our managers a few minutes
before the scheduled time for a game feverishly collecting
the board members to ask their permission to hold the
game.

The last provisions concerning the awarding of letters
was made in an amendment to take effect at the beginning
of the college year of 1913-14. The awards are now made
according to the rulings of the Smoky Mountain Confer-
ence, an unconstitutional procedure, since no amendment
has been passed accordingly.

A further evidence of the inadequacy of the present
constitution is shown somewhat ironcally by the fact
that the words coach and athletic director are not once
used in the entire paper.

An organization as worthwhile and necessary as the
Athletic association needs a consttiution worthy of proper
support. The Echo favors that it be revised and brought
up to date.

FITS AND FIZZLES

THE LADY OR—

Part I: Expostulation
"In the cinema romances,
You'll agree it rarely chances,
That a girl is not proposed to thrice a week.
Now I'm more glamorous by far,
Than any dizzy movie star.
And yet I've waited fifteen years for you to speak.

"Though I've hounded you and plagued you,

Though I've frowned at you and begged you,

I'm still a "miss" at thirty-five, my turtledove.

Though you'll eat my apple fritters,

You always seem to get the jitters,

When I steer the conservation 'round to love.

Another anniversary, half as long but. quite as interest-
ing, is that of Josef Hofmann, who celebrates the
fiftieth year of his musical career. Dr. Hofmann made his
debut in America in 1887, the most remarkable child
prodigy ever to appear before the American public.
Maturity found him an even greater and far more popular
artist. His austounding virtuosity coupled with the most
sympathetic interpretive genius has assurred him the
position of the greatest living pianist. Dr. Hofmann's
recent appearance on the Maryville Artist series was a
part of his triumphant golden jubilee tour of the United
States.

fflompletely ignored for almost twenty years, today
Edward Hopper is ranked among the forefront of
American artists, with pictures hanging in most of the
prominent galleries of the country. His case is one of the
strangest in the recent annuals of our art. At the turn
of the century, Hopper was engaged in intensive study
under the best teachers both here and abroad. Five years
in Paris had their effect, but on returning home he drop-
ped every vestige of the foreign influence and devoted
himself to the practice of a strictly native art. For the
next fifteen years he worked without the slightest
recogniion or remuneration from an art world absorbed in
its discovery of the French moderns. In very recent years,
however, the Hopper technique has begun to attract wide
attention, and the current Magazine of Art carries a dozen
reproductions of his work in half-tone and color. His
most characteristic theme is city architecture which he
handles with a stark realism almost photographic in
effect *x .

Passing a little white country church
one hot Sunday afternoon this month,
we were given cause to indulge in a
bit of philosophy What is it that

packs such a church, even to people
standing outside doors and windows,
people listening to a preacher more or
less uneducated, when our town and
city churches stand large and empty
except for the church holidays? . . .
Our private guess is that some of the
men that have been trained for the
ministry, including some Maryvillians,
contain too much holier-than-thou; not
enough personality, ability to get along
with their college fellows, much less
preach; not enough simple, straight-
forward, convincing intelligence, the
strength of conviction that many of
our less educated brethern possess . . .
We'd suggest the passing of a number
of standard personality tests a compul-
sory requirement for all ministers,
social workers, psychologists, physi-
cians-to-be The idea is not original
. The reply we expect from each
comment as this is a long, haughty
sniff, the equal of the collective sniff
we received from some indignant, self-
righteous "Y" retreaters who cannot
examine their sincerity as the rest of
us necessarily must see it . Yorick's
purpose is not to foment argument; it
is, and has been, primarily to attempt
to stimulate thinking, to express stu-
dent opinion, and, once in a while, to

Preston to Teach During
Summer at N. C. Normal

Exchange Notes

By CURTMARIE BROUW

Dr. Newell T. Preston, associate
professor of psychology and education
at Maryville, will teach at Asheville
Normal and Teachers college in Ashe-
ville, N. C, during the short summer
session from June 9 to July 17. He will
take the place of Dr. David H. Briggs
who was to have taken the position
but is unable to do so.

Three courses have been assigned
to Dr. Preston. They are a course in
"Educational Guidance," which in-
structs the teachers who attend the
school how to judge the vocational
aptitute of students; a course in "Im-
proving Instruction Through Tests and
Scales," which gives methods and de-
vices for securing a satisfactory classi-
fication of pupils for the purpose of
improving instruction; and a course in
"School Administration."

After the summer session at the
Asheville school Dr. Preston will go to
New York where he will study at
Columbia university. He will take
courses in vocational guidance for
college students.

Two students from Cornell university
were recently stranded in Washington
with empty stomachs and no money.
Having had the advantage of a college
education, they remedied their situa-
tion, knocked at the door of a pros-
perous looking home, and told the
housewife that they were being
initiated into a fraternity at George
Washington university. They said that
they had to obtain from her two ham
sandwiches and some apples. The lady
smilingly obliged, and after the boys
had called at several other houses, they
left Washington with food enough for
a few more meals.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MAY 29, 1937

GOING UP

Another Honaker product steps into the long line of Maryville baseball
men who have graduated to professional play.

Slated to report to the Southern champion Atlanta Crackers early in June,
Scot infielder Don Cross takes with him a .409 batting average and a fielding
record of .974, compiled in 25 games at second base this season.

Don has been one of the most dependable units of a veteran Highlander
Inner defense, as well as a consistent hitter.

Thirteen of his thirty-four hits went for extra bases. These included six
doubles, five triples, and two homeruns.

He ended his college diamond career last Saturday with four hits in
five time up and five errorless chances in the field against LMU. The game,
incidentally, which saw the Scots add another Smoky Mountain title to an
already long list.

Cross reports to the Crax as soon as school is out. Good luck, Don!

AFTER THE BATTLE, MOTHER

Add famous last words "We are the true champions of the confer-

ence, but we would like to meet Maryville anyway if examinations did not
prevent it." (Steve Lacey, tutor of Milligan's title-claimant baseball team).

"Maryville and Carson-Newman were the only teams with enough con-
ference games to qualify for hte championship." (Smoky Mountain Com-
missioner W. O. Lowe).

Looks like the ayes is got it, Steve.

A CRY FOR HELP

From Bill McGill, leader of fencing activities at the college tins year,
comes a plea for a little cooperation from the athletic board, or somebody, in
. organizing a team for 1937-38.

Something of an orphan in the past, the group of fellows composing the
ljteam this year had no schedule but emerged triumphant in their lone match,
an unofficial three-cornered affair with Knoxville and Chattanooga YMCA's.

Among those who would be available for a team next season are Mc-
Gill, Bob Brandriff, George Felknor, Bill Karukas, and Vernon Clark.

IN THE CRYSTAL

With the current sports season alreay in its last stages, a look into the
not-too-distant future might not be amiss.

In a little over three months Coach Lombe Honaker will be taking an
initial look at two or three dozen prospective Scot gridders.

The unknown quantity which the freshman crop presents each year
makes it impossible for a prediction to be made in any degree of safety, but
from here it looks like an improved Highlander aggregation for 1938.

The main puzzle now seems to be finding a couple of flankmen to re-
place Toll Coulter and All-state Bruce Alexander.

That accomplished and the backfield leadership of Corky Crawford
duplicated, there will be little left that the fourteen returning lettermen can't
take care of.

On the other hand, SMC competition is going to be keener than ever
this fall.

The Scot trackmen this week elected
Roy Talmage, ace quarter miler, cap-
tain of next year's team.

Talmage, a junior, has been out-
standing in track and cross-country
for the last two seasons and was count-
ed on as Maryville's chief point winner
until he was taken out of the running
by an attack of mumps early in the
year.

In his only meet this year, a dual
affair with Tennessee's Vols, Talmage
chalked up 10 of the Highlanders' 46
points, taking first in the quarter and
half. His place in these two events was
adequately taken over by Weldon
Barid, who cracked the Smoky Moun-
tain record in both, but his loss weak-
ened the team to the extent that it lost
the SMC title for the second time in
conference hisory.

Talmage will succeed Guy Propst,
1937 leader, who was elected at the
same time. Propst, who has made an
outstanding record as a matman and
footballer, as well as trackman, was
one of Coach Bob Thrower's most
consistent point winners, coming
through in the shot, discus, and broad
jump, to rank next to Baird in total
points for 1937.

The deciding game for the college
intra-mural softball series will be
played this afternoon between the
junior and senior teams. The seniors
are in the lead for the series, having
won six out of the eight games played,
but if the juniors win today it will
give the sophomores a chance to even
up the series.

Each team in the league is supposed
to play nine games but none of the
nines have reached that limit. The
sophomores have lost three of their
seven games, and so if the juniors win
today the sophs will play them two
more times to see if they can even up
the series with the seniors.

The freshman team is in third place
in the league, having won four and lost
four games, and the juniors are in
last place having lost all five of the
games' yet played.

If the sophomores happen to even
up the series a play-off for the
champinship will be scheduled between
the sophomores and seniors for some-
time next week.

Highlanders Awarded Smoky Mountain
Title; Finish With 18 Wins, 7 Losses

Milligan's Claims Denied by SMC Commissioner Lowe;

Cross, Wilburn, Ashby, Lead Scots in

Successful Campaign

J The Maryville Scots were officially named cham-
pions of Smoky Mountain Conference baseball Thursday
when Commissioner W. 0. (Chink) Lowe, of Knoxville,
ruled against Milligan's claim to the title.

Coach Lombe Honaker had previously challenged the
Milligan outfit to a game, following publication of their
claim in Knoxville newspapers Sunday. The Buffaloes,
"though anxious to meet Maryville, could not do so be-
cause of examinations", according to the reply given by
Coach Steve Lacey in a Johnson City paper this week.

The basis of Lowe's decision was the**-

fact that, in spite of Milligan's higher

winning percentage, the Buffs had

played only three loop foes instead of

the required four and had played only

eight of the necessary ten conference

games.
The Highlanders, on the other hand,

had played twelve Mountain games,

winning ten and losing two, for an

.833 record.
Their only losses this season were to

the Carson- Newman Eagles, who

slipped a couple of early defeats onto

the Scot record before they had begun

to show their real form. They later

humiliated the Holtmen with a duo of

drubbings, 7-2 and 14-2.

Other conference victims were Cum-
berland, twice defeated, Lincoln Mem-
orial, losers of four, and the 1936
champion Johnson City Teachers, who
fell twice, 4-1 and 12-0.

One of these wins was a 20-5 maul-
ing administered to the LMU Rail-
splitters.

Taken altogether the Scot record in-
cluded twenty-five games, with eigh-
teen wins and seven losses. The only
teams to register a win over the Hona-
kermen were Ohio university, which
eked out a ten inning win on April 1,
Emory and Henry, later the victims of
"Nig" Wilburn's one-hit chunking,
VPI, Roanoke, and Eastern Kentucky
State Teachers.

Don Cross, second baseman signed
Monday by the Atlanta Southern Asso-
ciation team, lead the 1937 Scot hitters
with a .409 mark, and "Nig" Wilburn
ended his pitching chores with four
wins and no losses. Lefty Ashby held
a 6-1 record, allowing 40 hits in 59
innings of slabbing.

times he had played golf with the
multi-millionnaire.

"One day at John D.'s Tarrytown
estate we were playing. He had made
a good put. 'If I had a putter like
yours,' I said, 'maybe I would have
some luck.' At that he handed me his
putter and told me to keep it."

The cups on the bookcases and in the
study show that the college pastor has
been combining the luck of the putter
with his own ability. He has won many
tourneys, and he still plays occasion-
ally on local greens. On the wall of his
study he has a framed reading which
begins, "It (golf) is a science, the study
of a lifetime in which you may ex-
haust yourself but never your subject."

The life in that pleasant house is
not wrapped up in one or the other
of its occupants, but in both of them.
Both are integral parts of the home,
and each one is a vital part of the
ather. Visitors who follow the drive-
way to that home are impressed with
the informal atmosphere of the build-
ing, and when they leave they feel
that Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson have
given the heap of living which Eddie
Guest says goes to make a house a

home.

served on the porch of the house.
Members of the cast and others con-
nected with the production of the play

German Club Sees Movies

Moving pictures of the Passion play
at Oberammergau and of the Olympic
games at Garmisch-Partenkirchen
were shown at the meeting of the
German club in the chemistry lecture
room last Tuesday evening. Prof.
Kenneth R. Lagerstedt sketched brief-
ly the story of the pictures and com-
mented on them.

Keeping cool at this time of year is
an almost impossible achievement, but
looking cool is the result of a little
work and care. The regular use of
deodorant or non-perspirant is essen-
tial, of course, and it is well to try out
different types until you find one that
suits you. At Proffitt's Toilet Goods
Department you can get the two types
of O-do-ro-no liquid, as well as
Odorono Dusting Powder and Quest,
also a deodorant powder. If you pre-
fer cream deodorants, try the Odorono
cream, or Mum. A new innovation is
the Odorono compact which contains
powder to be applied wherever pres-
piration occurs. This is non- irritating,
and will keep your face from gleaming.
And speaking of gleaming faces, it is
definitely wrong for a girl's nose to
shine on her wedding day or on the
day she graduates. A shiny nose can
be corrected, and will remain perfectly
powdered if its owner uses Dorothy
Perkin's Liquid Powder Base under
her powder. You seniors should try
it, if you are troubled in that respect.
Another way to look cool is to wear
crisp, perfectly clean accessories.
Kayser Sea-Breeze gloves are perfect
for summer wear, and just as cool as
their name sounds. These white gloves
are washable, and can be kept lovely
easily. White pocket books give a cool
touch, also, and you can get them at
Proffitt's in many styles and very low
in price.

Your shoes for summer should be
kept immaculate, and at Proffitt's the
shoe department has a great variety of
cleaners for all types of shoes. Don't
encase your feet in stiff, hot leather
this summer; instead give them free-
dom and happiness by wearing cut-
out sandals or cool fabrics sports shoes.
Proffitt's have many sandals, as conser-
vative or radical as you wish. You can
let your toes peep demurely from a
"peep-toe" sandals, or you can let
them flaunt themselves brazenly from
the open toe Bali. At any rate, you can
keep your feet cool easily.

Crisp dresses of cotton, linen, print,
or sheer dimities and dotted Swisses
can do a lot to give a girl that "lettuce
look." Proffitt's Ready-to-Wear De-
partment can show you clever and in-
expensive frocks which will stand up
after endless washings. Eyelet dresses
are cool, and cool looking. I saw an
especially lovely one of black with
linen at the neck. Organdie collars and
cuffs on sheer dresses are helpful, too.
Proffitt's have dresses in odd sizes to fit
you little people. Sizes 11, 13, or 15
are a great help to many. For your
suit, you can purchase blouses of many
colors to help retain a fresh look.
Gardette blouses are re-enforced with
under-arm protection.

If you need a new bathing suit, see
the smart new ones at Proffitt's. They
are lined with cotton jersey for added
comfort, and are as colorful as a sunset.

tinction became the pupil of Franz
Liszt.

Rosenthal has Liszt Touch

Rosenthal is acclaimed for his ability
to reproduce the famous Liszt touch,
which subordinates technique for the
purity of tone and the perfection of
poetry in the instrument. That he is
still able, despite his age, to reproduce
the music of the masters is shown by
his reception on his recent tour of
America, the first in seven years. He
appeared as radio guest soloist with
the New York Philharmonic society
and the General Motors symphony.

Rosenthal will open the Artist
series program November 16.

Barera is Youngest Artist

Youngest of the artists is Orlando
Barera, Italian violinist, whom music
critics of Europe and America are
maintaining as one of the greatest
violinists of the age. Two years ago,
he was unknown in America except
through foreign music critics. He ap-
pears on the Artist series January 20,
1938.

Proffitt Leads In Senior Play,

"Mary of Scotland", This Evening

Supporting Roles Taken by

Scull, Bell, McEnteer,

McKibben

Boasting an unusually large cast, the
senior play, "Mary of Scotland," will
be presented tonight on the Voorhees
stage at 8 o'clock. This production will
be an integral part of the commence-
ment week activities, and is the princi-
pal undertaking of the senior class.

Ruth Proffitt, veteran of the mid-
winters, has the leading role of the
Scottish queen. Opposite her, as the
daring Earl of Bothwell, is Reese Scull,
while Deane Bell adds materially to
the plot in her role of Elizabeth of
England. John Knox, militant Scottish
church leader, will be enacted by
William McEnteer, and Robert Mc-
Kibben is slated to portray Mary's
jealous half-brother, James Stuart.
Two more important roles are those of
the queen's Italian secretary, Rizzio,
and Lord Darnley, the choice of the
council for Mary's husband. These two
parts will be taken by Lloyd Wells and
Mark Andrews.

The large cast is completed by
Samuel Blevens, Elmore Bryant, Wilk-
ison Meeks, Lois Brown, Dorothea
Stadlemann, Florence Butman, Mary
Frances Dunlap, Allin Stephens, Nor-
man Beamer, Evan Renne, David Brit-
tain, Ralph Hand, Ralph Dowell,
and Donnell McArthur.

The production department is head-
ed by Virginia Pennington who is
stage manager, and Harold Truebger,
business manager. Maxwell Cornelius
has directed a stage crew in the con-
struction of the elaborate sets, de-
signed by John Wintermute. This play
is unusual in that it demands five
different scenes.

Others assisting in production have
been Mary Porter Hatch, William Mor-
gan, Gwen Vaughan, Mayme Carol
Ludeman, and Joan Dexter. The ushers
are members of the junior class.

"Mary of Scotland" is the fifth play
of the year to be directed by Mrs. Nita
Eckles West, head of the dramatic de-
partment.

Arnold Kramer was chosen by the
freshmen to lead their class next year
at a meeting held in Bartlett auditor-
ium last Wednesday morning. His first
official act was to serve as usher at
the senior chapel program on Thurs-

Fine Arts Dep't
Gives Final Recital

Solos, Drama, Complete
Years Work

The Fine Arts department pre-
sented its final recital of the year in
Voorhees chapel last evening, marking
the final performances of five mem-
bers of the senior class.

Those participating who are to be
graduated this year were Mary Emory,
Donnell McArthur, Gwendolyn
Vaughan, Dorothea Stadlemann, and
Florence Butman.

Mary Emory played two piano num-
bers, Valcik in D flat by Mokrejs and
Der Schwarze Domino by Palmgren.
Gwendolyn Vaughan played the Presto
giocoso movement from the Concerto
in D minor by MacDowell. Miss Davies,
college instructor in piano, was at the
second piano.

McArthur sang the solo, "O du mein
holder Abendstein," from the opera
"Tannhauser" by Wagner.

Dorethea Stadlemann and Florence
Butnam participated in a play, "Riders
to the Sea," by John Millington Synge.
The scene of the play was an island
off the coast of Ireland. Others in the
play were Irene Browder and Bernard
Boyatt.

Other soloists on the musical part of
the program were Harriet Barber and
Edward Brubaker. Miss Barber sang
the contralto solo, Mon colier 'a ouvre
a ta vo, from the opera " Samson et
Delijah" by Saint Saens.

The Maryville College String trio,
consisting of Edward Brubaker, violin-
ist, Erwin Ritzman, cellist, and Eliza-
beth Moore, pianist, were also on the
program. The trio played Ruben-
stein's '"Romance."

Queener Gets Position

Professor Verton M. Queener has
accepted a position in the graduate
school of the University of Tennessee
for the second half of the summer. He
will teach courses in "The Diplomatic
History of the United States since
1898"; "The History of Tennessee since
1860 ; and conduct a seminar in
American History.

By FRED RHODY -

"Oh, Walter, I've got the simplest
recipe for the loveliest "soufflee a la
cast iron," and you need only three
eggs. You must try it."

"And, Harold, I'm cutting out the
darlingest pair of trousers from a
pattern Bruce gave me — gathered
waistline, with three pleats runing to
the cuff. I'm using pink tulle."

Such a Conversation might be over-
heard by anyone chancing to pass the
home economics rooms while the class
in "problems in selection of food and
clothing for men" is in session.

Commonly known as the "grooms'
course," this course was originated by
its present instructor. Professor Ger-
trude E. Meiselwitz; and concerns such
matters as planning, cooking and serv-
ing meals, problems of marriage,
etiquette and home management — all
viewed from the standpoint of the
male. Since no credit is given, there
are no examinations.

During the regular laboratory

periods, the grooms-to-be get practical
experience in such fine points of
domestic life as carving fowls, con-
structing biscuits and learning where
that two dollars went that you gave
the wife only last week.

The great value of the course can be
realized when one considers the case
of Warren Jones, who graduated from
Maryville a year ago. Jones learned to
bake biscuits in this class, a-d has just
recently invented and put on the mar-
ket a new type of eraser, of extreme
toughness and durability.

At present ten men are enrolled.
Twice a semester five of them prepare
a breakfast for the others, each of
the student guests inviting a woman
faculty member.

To prepare and serve a meal re-
quires a cook, two assistants, a butler
and a waiter. A breakfast served re-
cently consisted of strawberry and
pineapple tidbits, fried ham with
scrambled eggs, biscuits, jelly and

coffee.

Some of the most level-headed men
on the campus confess that they find
themselves swayed by the printed
propaganda distributed through the
course, such as booklets entitled"Let
the Women Do the Work," and
"Marrying on a Small Income."

Ralph Hand and Fred Young admit
that they are taking the course as a
self-defence measure. "You never
know what kind of a wife yoy are
going to draw," opines Ralph, whose
"retreat" week-end, incidentally, was
well-nigh ruined because he had to
miss the experiment on making apple
pies.

"But," adds Fred, "after eating some
of the stuff cooked by those other
fellows, I wouldn't be afraid to try
any woman's scalloped oysters."
A point on which all the men in the
class agree is that, come what may.
their wives shall never discover that
they learned how to wash dishes.

Maryville college will be host to
several conference groups this sum-
mer, according to an announcement
released by the director of maintenance
of the college.

From June 14 to 19, the Young Peo-
ple's conference of the Southern
Presbyterian church, represented by
approximately 225 leaders and dele-
gates, will have the use of the campus.

From June 21 to 24, the Women's
Synodical Missionary society and
Synod of Tennessee of the Presbyterian
church U. S. A. will have 200 or more
representatives here.

About 100 leaders and delegates of
the Young People's conference of the
Presbyterian church U. S. A. will
spend from July 5 to 10 on the campus.
These groups are to have the use of
the swimming pool, the dining hall,
Baldwin, Thaw and other of the cam-
pus facilities.

O

Dr. Hunter To Teach

English This Summer

Dr. E. R. Hunter has accepted a
position at Peabody college this sum-
mer. He will teach courses in English
literature and American literature, and
two graduate courses in Shakespeare.
Dr. Hunter taught at Peabody last
summer.

O

The Reverend Joseph McClellan
Broady, D. D., pastor of the Sixth Ave.
Presbyterian church of Birmingham,
Ala., will address a graduating class of
125 at the one-hundred eighteenth an-
nual commencement exercises Tues
day morning.

Dr. Broady, a native of Maryville,
received his education at this colleg*
and the Union Theological Seminary
Chicago. In 1917 he was awarded an
honorary D. D. by his alma mater, and
is at present one of the directors of the
college. A member of the General
Council of the Presbyterian church and
head of one of the influential churches
of the South, he has conducted the
February meetings four times.

The class of 1937, although smaller
than that of last year, is among the
largest in the history of the college, and
stands in considerable contrast to the
graduating class of six, fifty years ago.

The service begins at 9:55 a. m. with
the processional of choir, directors,
seniors, and faculty. Following the in-
vocation, hte choir will sing Sibelius'
"O Morn of Beauty," after which Dr.
Broady will deliver the address. "Send
Forth Thy Spirit," Schvetsky, by the
choir, precedes the general announce-
ments, conferring of degrees and
awarding of diplomas by the president.

The presentation of honorary degrees
is then made and the recessional closes
the exercises.

The board of directors meets in the
morning at 8:30 to vote on degrees to
be presented upon advise of the presi-
dent and the faculty.

anniversary at their home, "The House
in the Woods," last Tuesday. They were
married in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, on
June 1, 1887 by the father of Dr.
Stevenson. Coming here twenty years
ago t„ take over the pastorate of Mary-
ville college, previous to which he had
been r- leader of the February meet-
ings, Dr. Stevenson has become well
known in East Tennessee.

The couple received the guests in
their living room which was decorated
with yellow roses and gift bouquets.
Mrs. Stevenson wore the same gown
that she wore at her wedding, white
corded silk trimmed with lace. She
carried a bouquet of white roses.

Mrs. Hugh Norton and Mrs. T. I.
Stephenson greeted the guests at the
door. Many town residents assisted in
the entertainment and the serving of
refreshments.

The Maryville college band and
combined glee clubs under the direc-
tion of Ralph Colbert entertained in
the afternoon and evening.

Three guests who were at the wed-
ding of Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson, were

Four Hundred Sign Wed.
For Next Year's Classes

Over four hundred students signed
up for next year's classes Wednesday,
the only day for registration this
spring. Some fifty of the students had
their schedules approved by the major
professor only and will have to have
them completed this summer and
mailed to them. The remaining students
who did not register are requested to
turn ni their schedules at the Personnel
office for approval.

The treasurer's office did not make

EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS

This year's graduating class will be substantially more
likely to receive employment than last year's graduates,
according to J. R. Ridgeway, president of Investors Syndi-
cate, who also states that it will find itself only slightly
less favored than the class of 1929.

His opinion is based upon the report from question-
naires returned by 218 leading colleges and universities
that account for nearly half the total enrollment of male
and coeducational institutions. General Electric, Du Pont,
Proctor and Gamble, Westinghouse, and various American
telephone subsidiaries are leading in the recruiting among

1937 seniors.

Engineering postions were ranked at the head of the
list from 96 of the colleges and universities, business pd-
ministration was second in 83 instances, teaching was in
third place, and general business classifications were
fourth. Law, journalism, and investment banking were

at the foot ,pf the list. . ■

Scholarship ranked as the, first qualification for
successful applicants in 51 per cent of the replies; person-
ality was given first place by 19.7 per cent of the institu-
tions; character, five percent, campus popularity, 3.6 per
cent; leadership 2.3 per cent and general ability, 1.4 per
cent. , a . i .»..*». I

ACCOMPANISTS

This year has marked the best musical presentations
ever given at MaryvUle college. In our praise for such
excellent works as the Mikado, the Messiah, Elijah, and
others, we have almost overlooked one of the most im-
portant 'contributions to their success— that of the

accompanists. ♦ . . ■

Accompaning* is somewhat like, second fiddling, a very
necessary but 'oftentimes thankless part. Such faithful work
from Mary Emory, Ruth Mack, Zula Vance, Elizabeth
Moore, Louise Felknor, ZiUah MacKenzie, Garnet Manges,
and Gerald Beaver deserves recognition.

Persona

ities...

A backward glance through the files of this? year's
Echo reveals a season unusually well filled With those
events which are supposed to constitute the beft in extra-
curricular activities at a liberal arts college. ' '

First was the appearance of The Avon Players* in,
October with a not -too -successful "Merchant of Venice"
which was received quite favorably. Indicative of either
low- brow trastes or outstanding acting is the fact that the
only thing we distinctly remember is Harold Selman's
Launcelot Gobbo.

The issue of November 21 carried news of two pend-
ing performances, "The Purple Mask," annual production
of the College Players and the recital of Anna Kaskas,
charming and talented young contralto of the Metropolitan
Opera association. •

Following were the first two mid-winters with Lois
Brown doing an excellent pieoe of work in "Elizabeth
the Queen," followed by "The Admirable Crichton."

The last event before the Christmas season was the

yoRKtft

Reviewing the college year just end-
ing we see one remarkable in many
respects . We have been witness
to the beginning of a social program in
which we have been regarded as men
and women with some degree of per-
sonal integrity and honor We have
seen a year unique for the excellence
and inferiority of sundry dramatic
efforts . . . We can recall a wisely
initiated safety campaign which fold-
ed up aft«- its first effort;. From our
necessarily subjective viewpoint, we
have seen the best Highland Echo yet
published on the Hill ... We have
watched the four societies survive
another year, their erstwhile functions
usurped by the excellent work of the
Social Committee, the dramatic and

outstanding choral achievement of the year, The Messiah, I debating groups, Writers' Workshop,

while early in the new semester appeared the prize- win-
ning "Craig's Wife." We didn't see it, but it must have
been good, because it had some close competition from

as "Elizabeth."

The last of January saw the dedication of the new
Baker Memorial Art gallery which is now among the
most valuable cultural assets of the college.

The high spot of the year was the triumphal appear-
ance of Josef Hofmann, one of the truly great artists of
our times. He played a program of familiar numbers,
almost "old favorites" which in itself was sufficient test
of his genuis. The last mid-winter was Athenian's "Grau-
stark," which was followed close by the controversy on the
number of society plays. We look forward to a season
of much more profitable, successful, and worthwhile
drama.

The Glee clubs and orchestra put on one of the most
popular student offerings in the year in March, with their
Mikado which went to Knoxville for a second perfor-
mance. Mendlessohn's Elijah was a triumph for the
Vesper choir.

Julius Huehn, last to appear on the Artist series
found great favor with his audience and formed a fitting
climax to the year's artistic activities.

Release of the names of the artists on the 1937-38
series gives promise of an even finer season.

"Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow ... or
" I've Got Those By By Blues"

"Sniff, sniff! Lend me another handkerchief, Egbert.
To think of your having to 1-live all summer without
m-me! (Thank goodness, Philadelphia and Atlanta are
hundreds of miles apart!) You woll think of me every
minute, won't you? (The poor fish; he'll be bawling on my
shoulder soon, if I'm not careful.) But cheer up, honey;
September will soon be here, and then — another heavenly
year together! (That's what he thinks.) I'm already count-
ing the hours. (If he believes that, I'll tell him a bigger
one.)"

"I'll b-be brave, Geraldine. (If that confounded train
doesn't soon come I'll . ) It'll seem an enternity to
wait, but each minute apart will make our meeting in
September all the sweeter. (Wow, I slay myself— ha, ha!)
Shucks, here comes your train, precious; how can I let
you go? (Whoops, this is rich!) Forgive these tears of
sorrow, Geraldine; the distress of parting wrings my heart
and makes lire naught but a hollow, mockery. (Boy, I
ought to be on the stage!) I'll not even look at another girl
all summer, love. (Wonder what I did with my book of
'phone numbers?) May I press those soft red lips in one
last fond farewell? (Whew, somtimes I wonder if three
short months of glorious freedom are worth such a
terrific price as this!)"

Sadly lacking news material must
have been the Journal Thursday morn-
ing to splash the report of a Colbert
"dictatorship" on the front page . . .
The unpleasant odor of politics, even
among such a harmonious (?) group
as the local homblowers, when serious
enough to disrupt the group well needs
a facutly hand . . . Predetermined
elections, even for such relatively un-
important positions as band president,
cannot be tolerated . . . The autocra-
tic constitution of the Y. M. C. A.,
with all elections controlled by the
Advisory Board and no nominations
from the floor, is the next one after
the Athletic Board constitution needing
revision . Not in reference to any
particular administration, but one

reason we've never had an average of
more than forty men at meetings is
that too few are given chance for
participation . . The new administra-
tion looks promising with the balance
of power of the cabinet in the hands
of an alert, progressive group . . .
Here's to naxt year! .

Jim Proffitt seemed a bit overcome
by the heavy charge of responsibility
Dave ceremoniously passed on Thurs-
day . . . For information of the un-
enlightened, it is the class of 1938 that
Jim represents . . . But why such a
fuss over the chapel seats? . . . The
front seats are the least desirable,
witness Vespers; and how can we ever
finish up our first period assignments

sitting so close to Prexy next year?

We don't know whether the gentle-
man was serious or whether he has a
sense of humor richer than most of our
venerable elders . . . Anyhow we
couldn't stifle a chuckle that arose as
we joined the student body in singing
lustily the new school hymn, including
the descriptive phrases describing ye
alma mater "still, still the same" and

unchanged amidst the changing".

These four long years have seen
many changes on this old hill, but
none more startling, even than the
someday-we-hope-to-be- made- an-
nouncement of a Senior Ball, than the
breakdown of Bill "Midnight Oil"
Davis . With a technique that would
put even Fred Young to shame Bill
was seen holding hands in broad day-
light with a fair young thing . . . What

THE TYPOGRAPHIC ERROR

The typographic error is a slippery thing and shy;
You hunt and hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow will
get by.

Till the forms are off the presses it is strange how still it
keeps;

It shrinks down in a corner, and it never shirks or peeps.
The typographic error, too small for human eyes,
Till the ink is off the paper, then it grows to mountain
size.

The boss he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair
and groans;

The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans.
The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can be-
But the typographic error is the only thinff you see.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO JUNE 5, 1937

The hour of parting draws near, and brings with it the lime when all
good men must come to the aid of the party with either a review of the past
or a preview of the future.

Through lack of foresight we choose the former as the basis of this
week's spread.

So, before we bid fond adieu to reader and friends, we ask you—

Do You Remember?

The Scots scoring on the Kentucky Wildcats, as fullback Jack Overly

booted a first quarter field goal the 27 to 0 massacre of Hiwassee as

Captain "Corky" Crawford and Jack Overly rang up two touchdowns each

a forward-lateral pass in the same game, Cochrane to Odell to Overly,

good for a forty yard touch down . . the between-halves activities, with

the spontaneous cheer which greeted the appearance of Dan Remine a

freshman running across the field on all-fours in a double-breasted coat and
vest the football debut of Don Parker in the Cullowhee game as the

Highlanders took their second conference fray, 19-0 also the pass,

Cochrane to Crawford, scoring from midfield and the driving rain

which made a comedy of the game in the fourth quarter big Fred

Tulloch picking up a fumble and ambling over for a touchdown in the Tuscu-

lum game at Greeneville and the sleepy officiating which allowed it to

count as a score the sound of crashing bodies hitting the hard- baked

TILL THE ORCHIDS BLOOM AGAIN

With which we wish you all a cheerful leavetaking and a joyous return
in September. We'll be seeing you!

Three crowns grace the brow of the
Highlanders this year after the firing
has ceased on eight sports fronts.

Despite good records in tennis, track,
and basketball, the only teams to be
rewarded with championships were the
wrestlers, cross-country teams, and
baseball team. Coach Bob Thrcgwer's
grunters cinched a clear hold on the
mythical state title by beating and
tying Tennessee in a duo of meets. The
diamondeers reclaimed the Smoky
Mountain championship after having
lost it to East Tennessee Teachers last
year.

All in all, it was a good year for the
Scots in all fields of sports activity.

To begin with, the gridmen made a
very creditable showing in breaking
even in a ten game schedule which in-
cluded Kentucky, Tennessee, Wesleyan,
Teachers, King, and Carson -Newman,
among others.

They lost to Kentucky 3-54, to Ten-
nessee 0-34, to Wesleyan 7-40, to
Teachers 0-2, and to Carson-Newman
0-26. Their most pleasing performance
came in trouncing King 16-14, as
Junior Odell and Corky Crawford
collaborated in manufacturing field
goals and touchdowns.

The bright spots of the season were
the good showings made by Frosh
candidates Tulloch, Faulkner, Ether-
edge, Kramer, Baird, Davis, and others
The spirit and ability shown by
seniors Crawford, Overly, Alexander,
Coulter, Kosloski, Hall, also played a
big part in the success attained by the
Scots.

Jim Renfro, center, was elected cap-
tain for next year, with Jim Proffitt,
guard, as his alternate.
, A third championship, though un-
official, was taken by the Maryville
cross-country team, led to four
straight wins by Meares and Talmage.
They ran rough-shod over Tennessee
and LMU, and put in a clear claim to
sectional honors.

A fair swimming season was featured

by an unofficial victory over the Uni-
versity of Kentucky. Stafford is to lead
the Scot mermen next year.

In the winter sports of basketball
and wrestling the Highlanders cleaned
up. The only defeat to mar the record
of a state championship wrestling team
was a 15-11 loss to Davidson, while two
defeats by Carson-Newman kept the
hardwood team out of the Smoky
Mountain throne room.

The steadiness of the five veterans
plus the brilliance of freshman Caney
« Stanley and the

hustling of Gus

Hernandez was a
large factor in
the good record
of the Scot cag-
ers. They will be
captained by
Odell next year.
The consistent-
ly good work of
Propst, Renfnp,
Meares, Coulter,
and newcomers
M, o ntgomery
Scull, and Tul-
loch pulled the grapplers through a
tough slate with only one loss, Renfro
was elected captain for 1938.

In tennis, baseball, and track little
needs to be added to comparatively
recent history. The tennismen won 7
and lost 3, having six matches called
off on account of rain.

Bob Thrower's cindermen, set for a
good season, were thrown off their
stride by the illness of Talmage, the
graduation1 at mid-semester ' of ' Rom
Meares, and bad practice conditions,
and were forced to take second in the
conference and third in the state
meet

The baseball team hung up a bril-
liant record, winning the Smoky title
with 10 wins and 2 losses.

With a majority of this year's letter-
men back in practically all sports it
looks like another big year in 1937-38.

With the completion of the interclass
softball tournament won by the senior
class, the YMCA completed the most
successful year of interclass sports
conducted at the college. Weldon Baird
has been in charge of the intra-murals,
sponsored by the "Y", for the past
year.

By winning three of the fiye tourna-
ments, the senior class won the cup,
given annually to the class team win-
ning the most sport contests. Last fall
the seniors began off the year by win-
ning the interclass touch football
tournament. It was during this tourna-
ment that Othor Teague, brilliant
senior back, made that touchdown
which has become so famous.

The seniors also won the second
tournament of the year, by defeating
the other three classes in the basket-
ball tournament. Then the freshman
class won two tournaments in a row to
tie the seniors for first place in the
nmber of tournaments won. The frosh
easily won the swimming tournament
held in the winter and the track tourn-
ament held this spring.

But by winning the baseball tourna-
ment, recently completed, the seniors
clinched their chaim for the cham-
pionship cup. The seniors won the
mushball tournament, with the sopho-
omores in second place, the freshmen
in third place and the juniors last.

In the first tournament of the year,
held early last fall, Ted Gillingham
defeated Frank Morrow in straight
sets, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 to win the fall tennis
Jqurnament. Roy Talmage, won first
place in the consolation tournament
and he also received a medal for his
victory.

Roy Talmage took first place in the
annual five mile cross-country run

Many Changes Made
On Campus During
The Summer Months

Dormitories Painted, Walks

Improved; Bleachers

To Be Erected

Extensive improvements to the col-
lege campus, buildings, and equipment
were begun during the summer and
will continue into the fall, according
to Louis A. Black, director of main-
tenance. A staff of twenty five men
students spent the summer doing the
work.

Improvements in the dormitories in-
clude the redecoration of the Baldwin
hallways and some of the rooms,
painting about one-third the rooms in
Carnegie, and the painting of the ex-
terior of Memorial. New hardwood
floors were laid on the third floor of
•Pearsons and the first floor of Car-
negie. Already ordered is new furni-
ture for the lobbies of Baldwin and
Memorial, as well as new dressers and
additional chairs for the girls' dormi-
tories. ,

Table Lamps In Library

Work was also done in Thaw hall.
New lights were installed in all the
recitation rooms and the entire second
floor was redecorated. In the library
forty -eight new table lamps have been
installed, replacing the former system
of overhead lights for study; and new
steel furniture has been ordered to be
added to the present equipment. The
debate room has been improved with
the enlarging of the partition which
separated it from the other ante room
on the south end of Thaw.

New linoleum in the kitchen and
bathrooms are part of the improve-
ments in the practical house. In ad-
dition, the other floors have been
sanded and refinished, the kitchen and
entrance were painted, and new cur-
tains will decorate the windows.

In order that it will not be neces-
sary to borrow the library chairs for
seating at social functions, a hundred
folding chairs have been purchased.
New equipment has also been placed
in the kitchen of the dining hall.
New Bleachers

The enlarging of the paths around
the post office and a new asphalt walk
from the post office to Anderson An-
nex are part of the exterior improve-
ments. One of the largest projects
advanced this year is the replacing of
the wooden bleachers on the west side
of Wilson field with steel ones. This
work is still going on but will be com-
pleted in time for the first home foot-
ball game.

Another project not yet completed
is the beautifying of the entrance to
the college cemetery in the college
woods. This work is being done at the
instigation and with the assistance of
Mrs. John Walker, of "Morningside."

Theta Rush Week
Begins Tuesday
At YWCA Rooms

Interesting Programs Have

Been Arranged For

New Women

The rush week of Theta Epsilon
society will begin Tuesday afternoon
at the Y. W. C. A. rooms where a
Theta tea will be presented for the
enjoyment of the new women on the
hill. At this program, which will be in-
formal, the outstanding feature will
be a display of the latest fashions
suitable for campus wear, including
sport ensembles, hiking clothes, coats,
suits, and formats. Jerry Beaver,
Eleanor Brown, Harriet Barber, and
John Magill will also contribute to
this program.

The theme of the opening week is
built around the fact that the new
girls are still unfamiliar with Maryville
life, and the Thetas are giving the girls
a glimpse of college life, college per-
sonalities, college talent, and college
fashions.

A Splash party will be Theta's
second entertainment for the new
women. This will be Thursday after-
noon at the swimming pool, and all
guests that desire may swim. C. B.
Blair will play the piano during the
entire afternoon while Bob Cusworth
will sing. Active water games will be
played under the direction of Dorothy
Quass.

The formal opening of Theta Epsilon
society will be Saturday evening at the
chapel; this will conclude Theta's rush
week activities. Russell Hirsch will
sing; Eleanor Brown and Carol Dawn
Ward will give a dramatic skit; Irma
Souder will dance; a piano duet will be
played by Beaver and Blair; Ralph
Reed will play the trumpet; and
Harriet Barber will sing.

These programs have been arranged
by the program secretaries, Curtmarie
Brown and Eleanor Brown, and the
society's president, Marian Thorson,
assisted by the officers of the society.

Pres. Lloyd Conducts

First Chapel Service

The college officially began its one
hundred and nineteenth year last
Thursday morning at the first chapel
service. Pres. Ralph W. Lloyd con-
ducted the program and delivered the
opening address. In discussing the
choices which must be made in life, he
emphasized the necessity of putting
"first things first'' • by the college and
by the student.

The vesper choir made its first ap-
pearance at the exercises, singing, in
addition to the processional and the
recessional, an adaptation of Jean
Sibelius' "Finlandia." The college
pastor, Dr. William P. Stevenson, read
the scripture.

new light on the situation by discuss-
ing it from his own first-hand knowl-
edge of Japanese political affairs.

Violin Teacher
Has Article In
Current "Etude"

Discusses Problem of How

To Start A Phrase

Properly

Miss Dorothy Home, instructor in
the Maryville college department of
music is the author of an intensive
article in the September issue of
"Etude" describing important technical
details useful to the instructor of violin.
Her article, "On Starting a Phrase
Correctly", occupies two thirds of a
page at the beginning of the depart-
ment entitled "The Violinist's Etude"
edited by Robert Braine.

She says, by way of introduction,
"By a great many people — musician-
ship is looked upon as a purely in-
herent quality— if a pupil does not
have it there is nothing that can be
done about it. It cannot be denied that
some students are much more sensitive
musically than others. However, cer-
tain gifted youngsters find technical
difficulties easy to overcome, and no
teacher can deny that many an ex-
cellent vilonist has developed slowly
technically. Neither does the conscien-
tious teacher relax his vigilance in the
matter of technic just because it is hard
for* the pupil." tier article id wiitten
in her contention that "one of the most
painful aspects of the average violin
student recital is the inability of ninety
percent of the participants to start a
ph.-ase correctly."

Miss Home, who became a member
of the music faculty a year ago, is,
besides an instructor, a talented
violinist in her own right and is rapid-
ly establishing a reputation as an
authority in the field of violin techni-
que.

ECHO POLICY

In 1915 the Highland Echo was founded as the suc-
cessor to the old Maryville College Monthly. Its policies
have varied slightly from year to year. At the begin-
ning of this college term we state our policy for the year
1937-38.

The Highland Echo is a publication which endeavors
to represent the college in all its aspects, and to print in
an accurate and engaging way, everything of interest
concerning it.

This paper purposes to express or exchange student
opinion. Our columns will be open to suggestions or com-
ments from those not on the staff. All communications
must be signed and should be less than 200 words in length.

We shall try to make our criticisms positve and fact-
finding, rather than regative and fault-finding.

Although the Echo is open to every unit making up
Maryville college, it does not intend to give undue publicity
to any one organization or class.

In short this publication endeavors to promote cleaner
sportsmanship, finer comradship, and higher scholarship.

Welcome Freshmen

A select and limited freshman class this week be-
came a part of Maryville college.

The Echo along with other organizations welcomes
you, and hopee that you will enjoy your life here as much
as we are enjoying ours.

Maryville offers you every opportunity to develop
and express yourself through its extra-curricular activi-
ties. Success or failure in your college career may be
determined by the manner in which you approach this
year's work.

Some of you will perhaps have to learn to do things
for yourself. Don't force some individual or organization
to play nursemaid to you. Consider the general good of
the community as well as your personal betterment.

The rah-rah days of college life are over. A serious-
ness of study and realization of purpose will be more use
to you than a racoon coat or a T model Ford.

FITS AND FIZZLES

There is a certain technique necessary in the mat-
ter of saying good bye to the folks at home, but in our
third year at college we still don't know how to leave
home gracefully.

The first time the farewell is a spontaneous affair,
requiring no planning: a flurry of last-minute packing
-final instructions from college-wise Uncle Horace, who
never got further than Hector's Auto Driving college — a
stormy session of zero-hour kissing at the station— the
usual swooning of tender, sympathetic Aunt Sophronie —
and the train is off in a cloud of coal-dust and tears,
bearing little Ignatius to new worlds to play with.

But an upper-classman feels a sort of moral responsi-
bility about always having every situation well in hand*,
even this delicate matter of bidding adieu should be
handled in a masterly, firm manner. We decided this
year that the blase attitude — treating the tearful relatives
with amused, slightly bored tolerance — was well in keep-
ing with our position. All went well until a meddler of
a radio announcer ruined a dignified, expertly-managed
farewell scene with "Keep the Home Fires Burning," fol-
lowed by "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight?"

- M. C. —

With the cooperation of the college social committee,
the 'Nifty Neighbor laegue of Pifflewiffle, and the
Woofledoofle Steamshovel co. we present Dr. Dizzlewiz-
zle, that iniminitable dean of all welcomers, without
whose official sanction no freshman class can consider it-
self properly welcomed to college. Dr. Dizzlewizzle,
P.D.Q. and X.Y.Z.!

"Arumph! Wah wah wah welcome wah wah college
spirit wah wah wah great traditions wah wah wah fond
memories wah wah ivy walls wah wah cordial welcome
wah wah w— why hello there, honey; why haven't I met
you before? Let's get away from all these people and
I'll— arumph— extend to you a most hearty welcome!"

- M. C. —

Scoop! With his customary alarcity and alertness,
your correspondent scoops all rival sheets by bringing
you a vivid description of the faculty de-oops! re-ception,
which was held next Monday evening. "The most news
before it happens" is our slogan! Let's follow a typical
freshman through the Great Ordeal:

Professor Boopdeeoop, this is Miss Jones, of Smith-
ville."

"How do. Dr. Fuzzywuzzy, Miss Smith of Jonesville."

"Jonesville? Well, well, hm-n, Arumph. Prof.
Kindlewood, Miss Brown of Johnstown."

"Brown? Brown? Familiar, most familiar. Prof.
Willynilly, this is Miss Black of Georgetown."

"Ha! Yes, Miss Black. Know your father very well.
Dr. Duffywuffy, Miss Blane from Georgia."

"Georgia? Don't you love it, Miss Bloom? Dr.
Dustybrains, Miss Blimp from -uh- Joe's Gulch."

"I remember your sister, Miss Plump. Prof. Hollo-
top, Miss -er- Blop, from -er- Death Valley, isn't it?"

"Really? Prof. Agatecrown, -uh- Miss Burp frqm—
Quick! The salts! Miss Blurb has fainted." ]

COMMENTS ON CURRENT AFFAIRS

This coming week ten thousand people will be blown
to pieces or die lingering deaths from horrible wounds.
Hundreds of mothers, infants, schoolboys, college students
and thousands of men will perish. Ten quiet towns the
size of Maryville will become smoking ruins; thirty fac-
tories the size of the Alcoa plant will become masses of
twisted wreckage. A city area the size of Knoxville will
be destroyed by flames.

Of those who survive thousands will bear terrible
scars or the loss of eyes or limbs the rest of their lives.
A hundred or more will go stark mad and be shot or con-
demned to live out their lives in dingy cells. The cost
for next week will be not less than a hundred million
dollars.

"So what!" you say, "That's Shanghai or Madrid!"

Yes, but eighteen months ago Spain was at peace,
her political issues no more pressing than our Supreme
Court crisis, her labor conditions far less violent than
our C. I. O. outbreak. Two months ago Shanghai was a
peaceful city, lazy in the summer sun. But now?

Even conservative prognosticators give the world
little hope of avoiding another world war. And the in-
struments of propaganda, they tell us, are certain to draw
America into the conflict UNLESS we do something
NOW.

There is a "Y" sponsored peace organization on the
campus where intelligent students meet to discuss ex-
isting situations and formulate plans for avoiding future
conflicts. Skeptics will sneer at the possibilities of
genuine good coming from such a group, but if one col-
lege the size of Maryville should make a unanimous
declaration for peace, the challenge, spread to other
schools and larger groups might save a nation and alter
the course of history. It's not impossible.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

The freshmen have been adequately feted, the "little sisters" have re-
ceived their portfolios of rules and regulations, the student body as a whole
has been welcomed with open arms, and a spirit of sublime fellowship pervades
the crisp mountain atmsophere.

There remains only the task of choosing a suitable salutation for those
noble warriors— the Highlander athletes who have been toiling for two weeks
in preparation for the warmest welcome of them all. That welcome is even
now being concocted by the Chattanooga Moccasins and will be ready for
presentation on the evening of September 24. Nothing formal, of course; both
host and guest, collectively speaking, will be simply clad in moleskins and
modest gold and maroon blouses. We are reliably informed that Mr. Coach
"Scrappy" Moore, who, with Mr. L. S. Honaker, will act as master of
ceremonies, has a few delightful surprizes in store.

Those of you who remember the Moccasins performance in holding the
University of Tennessee to a two-touchdown win in the opener last year will
easily understand what we are getting at in our own crude manner.

What we mean is, roughly, that in substituting Chattanooga for Kentucky
the Scot schedule makers may have done their athletes a favor and again maybe

not.

On the other hand all indications, unreliable as pre-season indicators are,

point to a much inproved Highlander aggregation.

At any rate we look forward with interest to the Moccasin welcome.

Six-man Football

"Y" Athletic Director Roy Talmage and Russ Stevenson announce that
intramural activities this year will include competition in six-man football,
in addition to the program of tennis, volleyball, basketball, swimming, soft

ball, and track.

This six-man business, a modification of the present grid game, promises
something new in the way of legal mayhem or pink teas, as the case may be.

Never having seen it tried wewon't venture any predictions, except to say
that we are, figuratively speaking, from Missouri.

Yes, It's An Alibi

We pause in passing, as it were, to offer tribute to the efficiency of Bob
Gillespie and his corps of ad-snatchers for their weeks work.

The hungry appearance of this page today is mute evidence of the afore-
mentioned efficiency. ^________— — — — —

Gillingham, 1936 Champ,
Heads Contenders

The Men's annual fall tennis tourna-
ment sponsored by the intramural
committe of the Y. M. C A. will be-
gin next Wednesday afternoon, Sep-
tember 22, with Ted Gillingham, win-
ner of last year's tournament, favored
to repeat as champion.

Frank Morrow, sophomore who lost
to Gillingham in the finals last year,
Keith Augenstein, and Russ Colombo,
are also expected to furnish plenty of
action. But with several freshmen
dark-horses there is no telling what
upsets might happen during the tour-
nament.

All men students expecting to enter
the tournament are asked to register
with either Ivan Elder, in the Y. M. C.
A. store or with Russ Stevenson in
Carnegie hall. Registration will be
completed by 1.10 Monday afternoon
and the drawings will be posted in
Carnegie that same evening with the
first round matches to be played the
last of the week. An admission charge
of 25 cents will be charged each en-
trant to help defray expenses and to
pay for the cups.

Roy Talmage and Russ Stevenson,
members of the Y committee who are
in charge of the tournament have
listed the following rules in order that
the tournament may be completed in
the shortest possible time:

1. Each match will be two out of
three sets, excepting the semi-finals
and finals which will be three out of
five.

2. Players must supply their own
balls except in the final three matches.

3. All first round matches not played

SCOTS OPEN WITH U. C, FRIDAY

Forty-seven aspirants for the 1937
Scot football team today end their
second week of practice with half the
starting assignments remaining open.

Meeting the University of Chatta-
nooga Moccasins in the Lookout city
next Friday night, the Honakermen
face a real test in their first appear-
ance. As yet very little work has been
done except in conditioning the squad
and brushing up on fundamentals. With
no hope of reaching top shape in time
for this tilt Scottie coaches are concen-
trating mainly on preparing the team
for the first Smoky Mountain confer-
ence encounter when Tusculum college
comes here October 1.

"We have quality but no quantity",
Coach L. S. Honaker was saying a
week ago. But now that one of the
largest squads of recent years is on
hand the outlook takes on a more rosy
hue. Today there are eleven lettermen
on hand, with twenty-two frosh candi-
dates to provide the proverbial fire
and dash. Whether they will live up
to advance notices remains to be seen.

One of the biggest puzzles for
coaches and railbirds alike has been
the end situation. The Highlanders lost

off by Saturday, September 25 will be
forfeited. The same rule holds for
second round matches not played by
Tuesday, September 28.

4. Quarter finals will be . played
Wednesday and Thursday and the
semi-finals, Friday October 1.

5. The finals will be played Satur-
day October 2, at 2:30 p. m.

6. No post-ponements will be allowed
except in case of rain.

THE COLLEGE BOOK STORE

Run for the Students' Convenience

a total of three experienced flankmen
last season. Faced with the task of
finding capable replacements for all-
state Bruce Alexander, Toll Coulter,
and Pete Kosloski, Coach Honaker has
shifted Junior Odell and Jim Ether-
edge from the backfield to the termi-
nals. If this experiment works, Scot
fans can look forward to a team at
least as good as the 1936 outfit.

The other line positions furnish little
cause for anxiety. At tackle the only
loss was Big Jim Cochran. His place
will be well cared for in the hands of
Obie Jenkins, Arnold Kramer, and
freshman Gene McCurry. Fred Tulloch
will fill the other tackle gap with his
200 pounds.

At guard Alternate Captain Jim
Proffitt heads a list of good men in-
cluding lettermen Harold Burns and
Bob Faulkner, and a number of 1936

reserves and freshmen.

Centers in camp at present are Cap-
tain Jim Renfro, Nig Wilburn, and E.
B. Smith, all back from last season.

The Scots will probably present a
backfield with balance and all-round
ability as its main earmark. There are
few backs on the list who will break
into the headlines consistently; how-
ever there is plenty good football in
the group. Lettermen returning for
duty are Al Burr is, Bill Swear ingen,
and Chuck Kindred. This trio will be
aided by a plentiful supply of 1936 re-
serves and first year men.

If the present crop of ends produce
as expected, if a dependable field-
general is uncovered, if an effective
offensive is developed, and if the usual
injury jinx is averted, 1937 should have
great things in store for followers of
football on the hill.

Fountain and Luncheonette Department

During the vacation period for you, new laws and changing conditions
pitched us head first into the business of serving foods. In keeping
with our store-wide policy of serving nothing but the best, we placed
Mrs. Kathryn Anderson in charge of our luncheonette, with instruc-
tions that she personally select all foods served. She selects the best
and sees that everything is tastefully prepared and served at popular
prices. Our service is not yet complete — a steam table and coffee urn
being on the way to us, the installation of which will enable us to
serve you with more speed and satisfaction. Late sleepers can now be
served hot breakfast in our store— coffee, toast, eggs, jelly, bacon— any-
thing you desire.

The luncheonette does not in anyway minimize our regular fountain
service of the best ice cream preparations and drinks served anywhere
in town.

Make our soda grill your meeting place and be sure and obtain one of
our Dividend Bank Cards, each one of which guarantees a refund on

YMCA Launches
New Program For
. Its College Year

President Minear Announce

Activity In Artists

Series; Hi-Y

Expansion of the Young Men's
Christian association activities is pro-
mised in the year's program released
Friday by Marvin Minear, president.
The program, which was approved by
a faculty committee Thursday evening,
has been enlarged in order to carry on
more effective work in campus athle-
tics, in Hi-Y work among local high-
schools, and in other activities carried
on each year by the association.

A tentative plan for a point system
in men's athletics has been placed be-
fore a faculty committee for approval.
This system will be modeled closely
after that now used in women's athle-
tics. It has been designed to give more
individual recognition to athletes.
Heretofore recognition has been ac-
corded winning class teams. Tennis,
handball, and table tennis were the
few sports in which individual recog-
nition could be given.

The athletic schedule will include
tournaments in tennis, basketball, hand
ball, volley ball, and other sports.
Newest addition to the sporting events
will be the six man football teams to
be organized this fall.

Duties of the committee on boy's
work will be enlarged in order to carry
on more effective work in Hi-Y clubs
in local high schools. This committee
will also continue its work in the
county orphanage.

A varied and interesting series of
programs have been arranged for the
regular Sunday afternoon meetings of
the association. Three of them each
semester will be of the all musical
variety which proved very popular
last year. Three other programs will bo
on art, music, and literature in religion.
One series of programs will give the
meetings a world wide scope by dis-
cussions on political, economic, and
social problems of the day. Other meet-
ings will feature talks by prominent
guest speakers, while some will be
conducted in the form of open forum
discussions.

The fellowship committee has plan-
ned two hikes to prominent peaks in
the Smokies. One of them is to be
taken in the fall and one in the spring.
This committee also will arrange for
the annual banquet of the association.

The recreation rooms in Bartlett hall
will be conducted as usual. In spite of
a cut in N. Y. A. funds the association
will endeavor to keep the game room
open as often as possible. A linoleum
rug has already been added to the
furnishings of the reading room, and
new furniture will be installed later in
the year.

Other activities to which the associa-
tion will give support are the peace
forum, the arti<=* series, the Freshman
fellowship club, and the "Y" store.

The Y. M. C. A. budget for the year
was also approved this week by a
faculty committee. The budget is for
$915, of which $815 has been appropri-
ated for the various activities of the
association.

An extensive membership drive will
be started soon by the "Y." The officers
have voiced the hope that this year's
active membership will be the largest
in the history of the association.

Pi Kappa Delta
Has First Meet-
ing Friday Eve.

Twenty-two Students Try

For Debate Under

Queener

The first meeting of Pi Kappa Delta,
national honorary debate society, was
held last Friday evening in the debate
room. The members voted upon four
possible Pi Kappa Delta questions,
submitted by the national committee.
These questions are being voted upon
by Pi Kappa Delta organizations all
over the country. The first choice of
the majority of colleges will become
the official Pi Kappa Delta debate
question for this season. The first and
second choices of the Maryville chap-
ter were Resolved: that the National
Labor Relations Board should be em-
powered by arbitration to settle in-
dustrial disputes, and Resolved: That
the government should be empowered
to control all commercial banking en-
terprises in the United States.

Tuesday evening of this week twenty
two students planning to try out for
Varsity debating met in Mr. Queener's
classroom to choose a time for debate
class meetings. It was decided that the
class would meet Tuesday evenings at
seven and during V period Wednes-
days. Plans have not been made for
freshman debate as yet. Another fresh-
man debate tournament may be held,
however, at Maryville in the spring.

The national question selected by Pi
Kappa Delta as received by Professor
Verton M. Queener, early this after-
noon is as follows: Resolved: That the
National Labor Relations Board should
have the power to force arbitration in
all labor disputes.

Final tabulation of registration sta-
tistics has not yet been completed, but
Miss Viola M. Lightfoot, assistant in the
personnel office, has been able to re-
lease fairly accurate figures on the
total number of students at Maryville
this year. A noteworthy item is the
fact that twelve students give foreign
countries as their addresses.

There are 120 seniors registered for
the first semester, eleven less than
last year. The junior class this year
shows twenty-eight fewer members
than its predecessors, the present en-
rollment being 136 men and women. A
slight increase in membership is shown
by the sophomore class which this year
will boast 214 students. The number
of freshmen, 312, makes the total regis-
tration for the first semester approxi-
mately 780 students.

Five new students give their home
'addresses in foreign countries. Paul
Akana, a freshman, is a native of Kobe,
Japan. Carmen Archilla, Parker San-
tiago, and Julio Flores are all new
students from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
David Talmage, from Kwangju, Korea,
has joined at Maryville his brother,
Roy, and sister, Janet. Miriam and
Winnie Berst give Chefoo, China, as
their home while John Fisher calls
another part of Asia, Hamadan, Persia,
home. Betty Seel is a sophomore from
Bogota, Columbia, and Joy Corrigan a
sophomore from Toronto, Canada.
Rene Hernandez, senior football man,
is a native of Havana, Cuba. In addi-
tion to these, two more new students
give foreign addresses as their birth-
places: "Scottie" Donaldson in Scot-
land and John Guinter in Nigeria,
British West Africa.

JAPANESE VIEWPOINT

By OTTO PFLANZE

Do the people in Japan eat, drink,
walk on two legs? Do they have motor
cars. Do trees grow in Japan? Do the
Japanese eat cake? These are some of
the questions people in the United
States ask Paul Akana, freshman from
Kobe, Japan.

Americans have funny ideas about
Japan, Akana says. They don't seem
to realize that the Japanese are actual-
ly flesh and blood and that in Japan
as in all the rest of the world there
are trees, streams, fields, paved high-
ways, sky scrapers, railroads, etc.
There are some people, he says, who
will not believe these things even
when he tells them they are so. Some
have gone so far as to tell him he isn't
Japanese, or he wouldn't say such
things.

Four years ago when he entered
Phillip's Academy in Andover, Mass.,
Akana says other students kept trying
to convince him he was a prince, the
son of an Oriental potentate. They
thought that any Japanese in America
for his education must surely be the
son of the Mikado or some other Nip-
ponese royalty.

Akana says another queer idea
Americans have concerning Japanese
students causes him much discomfort.
All of his teachers expect too much
out of him. They think that any Jap-
anese boy in America to receive an
education must be brilliant. "I'm not
exactly brilliant," says Akana, "and
if I should choose to flunk something I
would appreciate no raised eyebrows
and no comments."

(Continued on page four)

A program assembling much of the
best talent Maryville has to offer has
been planned by Eleanor Brown for
the formal opening of Theta Epsilon
Literary society this evening. Marian
Thorson, president of the society, has
invited Theta's brother society, Alpha
Sigma, as guests.

A feature of the program will be
Mary Lou Jordan, a little colored girl
from the Community Center, who will
sing some of the songs that made her
so popular at one of the meetings last
year. Gerald Beaver and Charles Blair
will play several popular numbers on
the piano and Irma Souder will exe-
cute several of her dances. Harriet
Barber's contralto voice will be heard
in a solo with cello and violin accom-
paniment. Miss Dorothy Home has also
been asked to play a violin solo. Irene
Browder and Gloria Miller will be the
principals in a skit entitled "The
Candle in the Window". The final fea-
ture of the program will be Russell
Hirsch singing one of the latest popu-
lar melodies.

The program, which will be held in
the chapel, will begin at eight o'clock
this evening.

O

Frosh Fellowship Club
Organized by Y. M. C. A.

Sixty freshmen turned out Tuesday
evening for the first meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. sponsored Fellowship
club. Donald Killian and Ray Nelson,
cabinet members in charge of fresh-
man orientation, took charge of the
meeting.

The organization of the club was ex-
plained to the new men by Malcolm
Brown, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
The group is expected to meet until
Homecoming day in October. Russell
Hirsch sang a baritone solo and John
Guinter played "Sylvia" on the violin
as part of the introductory program.

The following men were chosen at
random to serve as a nominating com-
mittee for the selection of candidates
for Fellowship club officers: Thompson,
Burgin, Webster, Hohman, and Find-
lay. After its second meeting, next
Tuesday evening, the club will be en-
tirely in charge of the new men.

20 Students Volunteer

To Do Mission Work

Over twenty students have respond-
ed to the Reverend Floyd Watt's call
for volunteer workers in the Sunday
School Missions. Last year the Mary-
ville Parish launched the Sunday
Mission Project, which is supported by
the College and the Presbyterian
Board of National Missions.

Fourteen Sunday Schools have been
organized by Reverend Watt, Dr.
Horace Orr, and students of Maryville
college. Last year the average atten-
dance was fifty.

NOTICE

All time sheets should be
turned in to the Student-Help
Office not later than Thursday
evening, September 30, in order
to be included on the September
payroll. They should include

Tarwater To Speak At
YMCA Meeting Sunday

The Rev. O. R. Tarwater, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church,
North, of Maryville, will address the
Y. M. C. A. tomorrow at its regular
meeting in Bartlett hall at one o'clock.
He will speak on "Friends and Friend-
ship." Other features of the service will
be consistent with this theme. There
will be special music.

The Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Art
gallery on the second floor of Ander-
son hall will be open every afternon
from three to five o'clock. This art
gallery was first opened last winter.

Miss Mary Hallock will be in charge
of the general conduct of the gallery
and also the museum. Miss Davies and
Miss Rich have special relationships to
it also. Miss Rich is using it as a class-
room in her art courses, but is using
her studio on the third floor of Ander-
son for painting classes. Two students,
Marie Jensen and Arlene Phelps, will
be present each afternon.

Two additional portraits, the unfin-
ished one of a young lady and one of
Mrs. Stilman, have been framed and
hung in the art gallery.

Elizabeth Gowdy Baker was a noted
portrait painter and especially famous
for her water color paintings. She died
in New York City about ten years ago.
The collection of her paintings that
was given to the college was of paint-
ings that she had kept on hand. There
are more than two hundred pictures.
Forty of these, twenty portraits and
twenty landscapes and marines, are
new hung in the gallery.

Mr. Daniel B. Baker, donor of the
pictures and husband of the artist, died
suddenly on the morning before com-
mencement day last June. He gave a
serits of art lectures at the gallery last
year, and was to have given one to the
alumni on the day he died. His funeral
was on the afternoon of commence-
ment and he was buried in the college
cemetery.

All students are welcome to visit the
exhibition any afternoon.

150 Attend Open-
ing Peace Forum

Spencer Appoints Several
Committees

More than a hundred and fifty stu-
dents attended the opening meeting of
the Peace Forum in the philosophy
classroom last night. Paul Akana, a
freshman student at the college, who
is a Japanese, discussed the viewpoint
of his nation in the present Oriental
situation and conducted the open
forum after his speech.

The speaker gave the falling value of
the yen, the necessity for self-justifi-
cation by the military party now in
control in Japan, the natural desire for
power on the part of the Japanese peo-
ple, and the necessity of a large duty-
free market and source of raw
materials as the principal reasons for
the present invasion. Akana also dis-
cussed in the forum the temperament
of the Japanese people and their feel-
ing of "saving face."

Several committees were appointed
by the chairman, Simpson Spencer,
who conducted the meeting. John
Stafford and Jean Cross were named

New Director Of
Personnel Comes
To College Oct. 15

Dr. McClelland Will Also

Be In Charge of The

Book Store

Dr. Frank D. McClelland now presi-
sident of Pikeville Junior college,
Kentucky, has accepted a call to be-
come Director of Personnel at Mary-
ville college and will enter upon his
duties October 15," announced Presi-
dent Ralph W. Lloyd to the Highland
Echo this morning.

Dr. McClelland attended Maryville
College during his freshman and soph-
omore years immediately before the
World War. The War interrupted his
college course and when he was ready
to resume it, his father, a Presbyterian
minister, was located in Pennsylvania
and he entered Grove City college
where he received the A. B. degree in
1921. He possesses also the degree of
Master of Science and the honorary de-
gree of Doctor of Laws, the latter con-
ferred upon him by Grove City college
in 1936.

After graduation from college he be-
came a teacher of Chemistry at Pike-
ville college. In due time he was ap-
pointed also dean. When Dr. Record,
who had been president of the college
for twenty-nine years, retired in 1932,
Dr. McClelland was made president
and has served very successfully since
that time. The institution has made
notable progress under his leadership.
Last year the total enrollment was 577.
The Board of Trustees at Pikeville
accepted his resignation with much re-
luctance, but Dr. McClelland decided to
accept the call to Maryville even
though it means leaving an important
and prominent post at which he has
been both popular and successful.

Dr. McClelland is the son of a Pres-
byterian minister and is an Elder in
the Presbyterian church. He is married
and has two small boys.

At Maryville college he will be
Director of Personnel and also manager
of the Book Store. He is remaining at
Pikeville college until the college year
there is well started.

Theta Ends Rush
Week Activities

Formal Opening of Society
To Be This Evening

Theta Epsilon society will close its
rush week activities this evening with
its formal opening in Voorhees chapel
at eight o'clock. Featured in this pro-
gram will be Russell Hirsch, Eleanor
Brown, Carol Ward, Irma Souder,
Beaver and Blair, Harriet Barber,
Ralph Reed, and others.

An informal tea, the first of Theta's
contributions to the rush week pro-
gram, was presented for the new
women on Tuesday at the Y. W. rooms.
This featured a style show, and in-
cluded several musical selections and
readings.

The second program was a splash
party given at the swimming pool.

These programs were formed under
the supervision of the program secre-
taries, Eleanor Brown and Curtmarie
Brown; the president of Theta, Marian
Thorson; and the members of the
society.

O

Steel Bleachers To Be

Finished by October 1

Work on the new $3,500 steel bleach-
ers is rapidly progressing. They will
be completed by October 1, the time of
the Tusculum game which will be
played here.

The new bleachers differ from the
old ones in that they are much shorter
on each end. Instead three new rows
have been added, making twelve in all.
Seating capacity of the north side,
which is the only one being completely
rebuilt, will range around a thousand.
Two new walkways are being built up
the center of the stands to the ampli-
fying booth. The south stands arc being
repaired.

Another improvement in the athletic
department will be in the rooms in
Bartlett basement used for visiting
teams. They will be repaired and the
twelve new doubledeck beds and
twenty-four new mattresses recently
purchased will be placed in them.

A SUGGESTION

The antiquated constitution of the athletic board of
control has been a laughing stock at Maryville college for
several years. Not only is it twenty-five years old, but it
has had only two amendments added since the last part
of 1912, the year of its adoption.

Article 1, section 2, states that "every teacher in Mary-
ville college is a member of this association," and article
2, section 1, states that "officers of this association shall be
elected at the annual meeting, which shall be called for
the second meeting in May." Faculty members never attend
these elections, nor are the elections ever held at the
time designated by this article.

Neither are the managers or captains elected at the
times specified by articles 3, 5, and the amendment to
number 5.

According to the Constitution, "there shall be an
athletic editor for the Maryville College Monthly chosen
by the board of control," The Maryville College Monthly
ceased to function in 1915, as have most of the provisions
of the constitution.

The last provisions concerning thi awarding of
letters was made in an amendment to take effect at the'
beginning of the college year of 1913-14. The awards
are now made according to the rulings of the Smoky
Mountain Conference, an unconstitutional proceeding,
since no amendment has been passed accordingly.

A bit of irony in the constitution is to be found in
the fact that the words coach and athletic director are
not once used in the entire paper.

An organization as worthwhile as the Athletic associa-
tion needs a constitution worthy of proper support. The
Echo suggests that it be revised and brought up to date.

No Reward — Yet

Among those missing this year is that body known
as the pep committee. We believe that it will turn up
eventually, but we feel that it could do a lot of good now.

Thursday evening, the night before the game with
the University of Chattanooga, would have been the psy-
chological time for a pep meeting, but none was planned.
Several upperclassmen have wondered whether a com-
mittee should be appointed to pep up the pep committee.

Besides providing meetings to teach the freshmen the
college yells, another duty of-the committee is to conduct
tryouts for cheerleaders. With onjjy a week before the
first home game, is it supposing too much that it is time
we elect, by popular vote, some leaders to direct our
cheering section?

Incidentally, cheerleaders need practice, too. We need
^wo pep meetings next week, one Monday or Tuesday
evening when those who want to may try out for cheer-
leaders; and one Thursday evening, when those whom we
elect will have the opportunity to direct our yells.

Although there is no reward offered at present for
information concerning the pep committee, we would
like to know its whereabouts.

"Things believed", or better, "things to be believed"
is the meaning of the title of this budding feature. The
title is a Latin gerund; the nom-de-plume, the name of
the beloved old court chamberlain in "Hamlet". But this
Polonius will not demand belief, rather he will court the
thoughtful consideratian of things other people believe
as they are here presented weekly.

A journalistic median between the editorial and
humorous elements of feature writing will be the plane
of Polonius' pennings. His materials will be those of the
dilletante — anything that catches the eye, — ki the field of
national and world events, in art, in the field of litera-
ture, occasionally in music, and often in the natural world.

The personal attacks on Justice Hugo Black of
Alabama are interesting. Initiated by Senator Royal S.
Copeland in the interests of his New York mayoralty cam-
paign, they have been spread by a northern press ignorant
of Southern history and paraded by Constitution-cuddling
Republicans whose interest in the lot of the Negro, North
or South, has lain dormant, strangely, until the appoint-
ment of a political opponent to a post he well may fill.

Catholics, Jews, and Negroes are American minorities
with distinctive characteristics. Any good Catholic would
like to see all America loyal to the Roman church, yet
membership in the Knights of Columbus has never been
a political issue. Justice Cordozo, a Spanish Jew, is one of
the most honored members of the high tribunal. The
Ku Klux Klan is a fraternal order no more lawless than
the Masons, only less fortunate in retaining a name which
once spread terror among the carpetbaggers of the Re-
construction period and now proves itself to be equally
blood-curdling to rich Republican senators.

We of the hoi polloi are extremely susceptible to
sensational propaganda. Typical of this fact is that the
first of you who welcome a defense of Senator Black are
probably the children of Democrats who voted against
Alfred E. Smith in the fear of what his religious faith
might do to his executive judgement, the dupes of similar
propaganda. Disraeli, the great Jewish statesman of Eng-
land was far wiser than any of us will ever be when he
said "it is much easier to be critical than to be correct".

About 600 Attend Annual
Reception in Thaw Hall

Friends of Maryville College were
saddened during the recent summer
months to learn of the deaths of mem-
bers of the family of Miss Mary Hal-
lock, matron this year of Baldwin hall,
and of Mr. Louis Black, director of
maintenance of the college.

Dr. Howard John Black, a member
of the Army Medical corps on the
Pacific coast, died at San Francisco on
July 25, following an operation for the
removal of a serious brain tumor. He
is survived by his widow, Mrs. Zoe
Carroll BJack, who was professor of
biology at \\}e college for a number of
years, an infant daughter, and the
membres of his family in Maryville,
among whom is Lois Black, a senior
student. Mrs. Black and her small I
daughter have taken up residence in
Morristown, Tennessee, following Mr.
Black's burial at the Presidio in San
Francisco.

Mrs. Hallock died suddenly on Sep-
tember 2 of complications resulting
from a broken hip she received in a
fall at Montreat, North Carolina. She
was a resident of Maryville this past
winter at the home of the late Dr.
J. Kelly Giffin. Following her mother's
burial Miss Hallock has returned to
Maryville to assume charge of Bald-
win hall.

Death of Mother Calls
Freshman Student Home

Monday morning Virginia Ross, a
freshman from Bellfontaine, Ohio, left
for home to attend the funeral of her
mother. Word was received Sunday
night that Mrs. Ross, who had been
under treatment for cancer, had died
and Virginia prepared to leave as soon
as possible. Whether she will return to
Maryville or not is doubtful.

Band Practice

About 40 would-be-members were
present at the band meting Tuesday
evening. Almost every section in the
band has been reenforced by good
material from the freshman class.
Trumpet, trombone and clarinet sec-
tions are doubled in comparison with
that of last year. Is it any wonder the
Dictator shouted he had a fight on his
hands!

Reba Blazer Re-elected

During intermission Reba Blazer, by
unanimous vote was re-elected band
sponsor for the school year 1937-38.
Reba is a senior this year.
Little Symphony

At the first meeting of the string
sections of the "Little Symphony"
Thursday evening, Miss Home selected
Sarah Hussey, freshman, to fill the
difficult position of pricipal of the
second violin section, a position left
vacant when Mary E. Haines, senior,
was promoted to the first violin sec-
tion for her last year in the orchestra.
Miss Hussey, studied music at the
college during her high school years.
Disc Club

Miss Davies announces that the Disc
club will meet the first of October at
which time plans for the fall will be
made. It would be of interest to all
freshman, as well 'as upper classman,
to attend these meetings because of the
fine programs given, based on better
music.

Big Sisters Entertain
Frosh Women With Party-

Last Saturday evening the Big Sis-
ters of the Y. W. C. A. entertained their
Little Sisters at a Dude Ranch party
on the lawn between Thaw and Pear-
sons. After the party had been divided
into ten groups representing ten west-
tern states, get-acquainted and circle
games were played.

Lois Black acted as mistress of the
Bar Y Ranch. Harriet Barber led the
group in several western songs, Cath-
erine Pond demonstrated her ability
with a rope, and Eleanor Brown and
Carol Ward gave a skit concerning
dude impressions of a rodeo. Clara Dale
Echols submitted the advantages of the
Y. W. C. A. and invited all women
students to attend its meetings.

ed the main address of this year's an-
nual meeting of the Huegenot Society

the assembled members of the society
in Knoxville, was Western Civilization's
Indebtedness to the Hueguenots.

For the past few days, ministers
from the various Maryville churches
have conducted the morning devotions
in Voorhees chapel. This gives the new

Purchases New Equipment

The Chemistry department has
bought new equipment this year to be
used partly in honors work.

The main purchase of the depart-
ment is a direct current generator set
used for two purposes: electro lytic

of organic compounds which involve
oxidation and reduction reactions.

The department also has available
for the first time a complete range of
indicators for the determination of
indicator constants.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO SEPTEMBER 25, 1937

They're off! In a spray of liniment and blasted predictions, they're off.

The football marathon has started, we mean. Locally it started last night,
disappointingly for some, satisfactorily for most.

The 19-0 trouncing handed the Highlanders by Chattanooga"s Moccasins
should cause no tears to be shed in the camp of the Fighting Scots. Chattanooga,
though a small school as universities go, always rate well up the list in foot-
ball in the Dixie Conference. To spot such a team a week's practice and then
make them look as bad as the Scotties made 'Nooga look at times is a task
worthy of anybody's gridders.

Individually and collectively Prof. Honaker's pupils performed most nobly.

For this week's star pupil we cite Master James Etheredge, the Alabama
Boll-Weevil. Playing end for the first time since he entered college he
messed up interference, spilled punt-receivers, and created havoc in general
for Scrappy Moore's gentlemen of the opposition. In other words, Etheredge
looked all right at end last night, we guess.

SCOTS DROP OPENER TO MOCCASINS, 19-0

MR. CHAIRMAN!

In the nature of a timid squawk the following question is submitted to the
house for what it is worth, be it the waste-backet or what have you:

Whose tennis tournament is this— anyhow?

Why is it that the top ranking members of the varsity net squad are per-
mitted to go through the formality of eliminating less talented opposition in a
meet generally understood to be "intra- mural"— whatever that means— when
varsity football men are barred from such competition?

If we are speaking out of turn— well, we just wondered.

Fall Net Tourney
In Quarter Finals;
To Close Monday

Competition In Doubles To
Start Next Week

ALPHABET SOUP

We wonder if you knew that

The Maryville cross-country team, in three years of competition has not lost
a meet. The record, we believe, is seven wins and no 'defeats against all
opponents available during this period. The list includes several victories over
Tennessee and Lincoln Memorial, the only teams the Scots can schedule
consistently in this section.

Chattanooga papers billed the Highlanders as an aerial circus, quoting
Coach Moore of U. C. as foUows: "I understand all they do is throw passes
and more passes. That is what worries me— our pass defense is not so "good."
And the funny part is that the Scots pitched a grand total of about four
passes, one of them being of the spontaneous variety tossed from punt for-
mation. Doesn't that prove that a sports writer will use anything to, fill space?
Or do you need a little more proof? If you do

Non-lettermen on football trips should be protected by law. Just like
any other game animal, as it were.

Also something should be done about the impossible shape and feel assumed
by bus seats at two o'clock in the morning.

TKEY HAVE COLOR, LEW?

We see by Thursday's Morning Whoop that Coach "Lew" Honaker of
Maryville College "puts the finger" on Appalachian State to win the Smoky
Mountain Conference championship this season.

(Now, Coach, that ain't fair, going around under assumed names fooling
sports editors that way.)

The aforementioned sheet goes on to quote Lew as saying that Kid
Brewer's team has three sets of uniforms, all in different color schemes, the
idea being that material at Boone is so good that Brewer can tell one team
from the other only by the color.

If all this be true, and we don't doubt it for *n instant, then Maryville
fans have a real treat in store when the Appalachians come to town for a
game of football around about Thanksgiving time.

We, personally, are all adither over the prospect.

LET'S EAT AT...

POP TURNER'S

SOUTHERN DAIRIES

With six of the possible eight players
in the quarter finals, the annual fall
tennis tournament sponsored by the
athletic committee of the Y. M. C. A.
is rapidly moving towards the finals
which are scheduled for next Friday
afternoon.

The lower bracket quarter-finals is
already complete with Morgan, Mor-
row, Colombo and Lloyd the survivors.
Morgan defeated Stevenson, after both
had drawn first round byes, in a long,
hard fought three set match, 4-6, 9-7,
14-12. Morrow defeated Akana, 6-3,
6-2; Colombo won over Guigou, 6-3,
6-0; and Lloyd defeated Ross, 6-4, 6-4.
In the upper bracket Gillingham beat
van Blarcom, and Felknor won over
Czepiel, both to gain the quarter
finals. Keith Augenstein will doubtless
be one of the other quarter finalists
and the winner of the Talmage-Mc-
Cammon match will complete the set-
ting.

Monday is the final date set for the
j playing of the first and second rounds;
Wednesday, for the quarter finals; and
the semi-finals are scheduled for
Thursday. This schedule will be ad-
hered to except in case of rain and
anyone who does not play his matches
on time will have to forfeit.

With only twenty-one entered in the
tournament, it is moving along at a
faster rate than the tournament of last
year in which Gillingham defeated
Morrow in the finals to become the
school champion.

Will Meet This Week

Tusculum Invades
Wilson Field For
SMC Tilt Friday

Attractive Home Schedule
Opens With Game

Local fans' will get their first peep at
the 1937 edition of the Maryville High-
landers next Friday night on Wilson
field when Tusculum comes here to
help open the Smoky Mountain season.

With the Chattanooga defeat a week
behind them the Scots will be ready
for the first time this year when they
take the field against Ty Disney's
Pioneers.

The Greeneville, Tennessee, team has
been easy meat for the Honakermen in
recent years, but with a new deal in
coaches and players, Tusculum is re-
garded as anything but a pushover. In
fact, they graduated from that class
last year when they fought the Scots
right off their feet through most of the
game before losing by two touch-
downs.*

One of those touchdowns was of very
doubtful validity, being made on a

Stubborn Scottie Defense Holds U. C.
To Three Touchdowns In Ragged Game

Scott and Nardo Lead Sporadic Chattanooga Attack;
Etheredge, Kramer, Davis Shine in Maryville Defense

Putting up a stubborn defense that
surprised most of the pre-game ex-
perts, Maryville's Highlanders last
night dropped a hard-fought battle to
the University of Chattanooga's Moc-
casins 19-0.

The three touchdown margin was a
pretty good indication of the relative
strength of the two teams. Both showed
at times a serious need of further
work. The 'Noogans tendency to fum-
ble was costly on several occasions,

After allowing their hosts to hog the
ball throughout most of the first half
Maryville stiffened and kept their goal
line unmarked in the third canto. One
threat was stopped when Chuck Kin-
dred fell on Nardo's fumble on the ten
yard line.

As the last period opened Eubank
got loose twice for long gains, placing
the call on the Maryville one yard
stripe. The Scots put up a great fight
here to hold until fourth down, but

almost resulting in a Scot touchdown | Nardo finally pushed over for the ,ast

in the last minutes of play. Neither of
the teams flashed a consistent attack,
though the Moccasitis were able to get
away for long gains when necessary.

It was largely in the ability of two
hard running Chattanooga backs,
Nardo and Scott, that Scrappy Moore's
men found a means of avoiding a more
embarrassing score. After being held
for short gains time after time, these
two were flung loose at the Maryville

fumble scooped off the ground, all of tackrte and flanks, or on spinners at

which tends to make the Pioneers
pine for revenge.

But regardless of that angle the game
promises to be a good one.

Furthermore the whole home slate
this year holds some pretty good shows
in store. The lineup of opposition, home
and abroad^ is as follows:

Oct. 1 'Tusculum— here

Oct. 8 Hiwassee— here

Oct 15 Milligan— here_

Oct. 22 Lenoir Rhyne, Hickory, N. C.

Oct. 29 Cumberland — here, Home-

On Thursday afternoon there will be
a meeting of all women who are inter-
ested in going out for point system this
year. Janet Talmage will have charge
of the grbups and will instruct them.

Point System provides an oppor-
tunity for all girls to participate in
sports. Points can be earned by keeping
health rules, by playing on the teams,
and by hiking. There are three groups:
seniors and juniors, sophomores, fresh-
men. Classes are twice a week for three
quarters of an hour. All sports from
soccer to track are played, and the sea-
son is from October 1st to May 1st.

Any woman whether interested in
earning her points for a letter or just
playing regardless of points, is urged
to go to the meeting on Thursday.

Prospects are looking bright for the
1937 Maryville college cross-country
team. Four of the fiv? lettermen from
last year, including Talmage, Baird,
Orr, and Rugh are returning to com-
prise the main part of this year's team.

Besides the lettermen eight other
men are trying out for the team which
should be one of the best since the in-
aguration of the sport. These include:
Steakly, Tapp, Greene, all freshmen
who so far have showed up very well;
and, Morgan, Mooney, Fisher, Ashby,
and Looloian.

So far no definite meets have been
arranged but there will probably be
two each with the University of Ten-
nessee and Lincoln Memorial univer-
sity. The schedule will begin the \asi
of October and run through until the
last of November.

the center of the line, where they made
some of their most damaging runs.

Thurman "Twinkletoes" Scott, Moc-
casin halfback, became the first man to
dent the Maryville line for a score this
season when he went over right tackle
from the five yard line midway in the
opening period. A drive from the High
lander forty-five had placed the ball
in scoring position.

Early in the second period Chatta-
nooga received the first bip break of
the game. Their kick from mid-field
bounded down the sideline for fifteen
yards before it finally hopped out on
the Maryville four yard line. The Scots
staved off disaster momentarily when
Odell kicked out almost to the center
stripe, but the Moccasins were not to
be stopped. Again they forced Mary-
ville to punt from inside the ten. This
time it was Nardo who got away for
almost thirty yards, being downed
from behind on the two yard marker,
Fred Tulloch making the tackle.
Chattanooga was penalized back to the
seventeen for clipping on the play, but
on two running plays Nardo was over
for the second score, making the count
12-0, where it remained at the half.

Later in this same quarter Scott and
led a drive to the Scot 12 yard line, but
lost the ball when a fourth down pass
was knocked down by the Maryville
secondary.

It was this part of the Scot defense,
incidentally,, that made the going tough
for Chattanooga throughout the game.
"Shorty" Davis, at half, and Jim
Etheredge, recently shifted to end,
were a defensive thorn in the "Noo-
gans' side. With Etheredge knifing
through the interference and Davis
backing him up, a large number of
potential gains at end were nipped in
the bud.

score. This time the try for point was
good, making the result Chattanooga
19, Maryville 0.

Shortly after this score the Scots
made their one and only threat. Nardo
fumbled Odell's kick deep in touch-
down territory. Al Burris recovered for
Maryville, but the game ended before
any Scot passes could connect.

In summary, the whole game served
to prove the truth of Coach Honaker's
statement that it will take at least
another week for the Highlanders to
reach top playing condition. And, with
several freshmen threatening to grab
positions, it may take even longer for
the Scots to hit their peak. There is
still time to polish up the running
attack, which was never very trouble-
some to Chattanooga, before the Smoky
Mountain schedule becomes too tough.
As for the line, the Scot veterans, Jim
Renfro, Junior Odell, Jim Proffit^ and
Jim Etheredge, et al, looked good
enough to stack up favorably with most
of the/r conference competition. Arnold
Kramer, playing a regular tackle spot
for the first time, showed plenty ability,
especially on defense.

If they improve according to ex-
pectations the Honakermen will make
things pretty tough for Tusculum next
Friday.

TAG-"ALONGS"

"Talmage", "Lodwick'", "Cornelius",
"Pinneo"— familiar Maryville names
all, but they were appearing on the
white freshman registration blanks in-
stead of the more colorful ones for
upperclassmen where it seemed those
names belonged. The curiosity of
Frances Perrin and Deane Brown,
senior registration clerks, got the
better of them and they conducted a
private investigation which resulted in
the surprising discovery that no less
than nineteen of the new freshmen
are brothers or sisters of present
upperclassmen.

Coming the greatest distance, lanky
David Talmage has travelled from
Kwangju, Korea, to join his brother
and sister Roy and Janet, twin seniors.
David is the fifth member of his family
to attend Maryville within a period of
five years. Margaret Dickie is another
new arrival making her Maryville
family total three; her older brothers,
James and Herbert, are seniors.

Mary Alice Minear is rooming with
Emma Cassada, the former being the
sister of Marvin, president of the Y.
M. C. A. and the latter the sister of
the vice-president of the senior class,
Jessie. Other "senior siblings" are Mar-
garet Lodwick, sister of Bainonian
president Marian and brothers Bill and
Bob, recent Maryville graduates;
Maxwell Cornelius' brother Sam, mak-
ing with Mary another family trio;

Paul Brown, brother of the Y's"
secretary, Malcolm; Edna Miller, sister
of Helen, attendant at last spring's
May day; and, from Rockford, Illinois,
Adelaide Knight, sister of Elizabeth.

From the town three new members of
old Maryville families are matriculat-
ing. They are Mary Orr, sister of
Eugene and daughter of Dr. H. E. Orr,
head of the department of religious
education; and John, brother of Har-
well Proffitt, a surname associated with
Maryville for many decades. Lynn
Burchfield is the brother of Carleen,
a sophomore.

Unmistakably a Baird is Weldon's
brother Boydson, of whom much is ex-
pected on the cinder track next spring.
Brother Bill may return too next
semester, they say, making a trio of
quartermilers no conference foe will
beat. Sue Stevenson and Thelma Ritz-
man have taken the places in the
freshman class vacated last June by
brothers cheerleader Russ and cellist
Erwin, respectively. With a drawl even
more pronounced than brother George's
Billy Felknor has come up from Miss-
issippi to join the freshmen.

From Pennsylvania Bill Short has
brought brother Bob and from New
Jersey Joy Pinneo has brought little
sister Lily, victims both of the ex-
tremely contagious Maryville spirit.
Following a year's absence Effalie
Easterly has returned with sister
Mabel, completing the remarkable list.

Baby Daughter Born To
Former Memorial Matron

Maryville students will be glad to
hear of the birth of a baby daughter
to Mrs. Frank W. Potter, the former
Miss Josephine R. Hunter, for several
years head of Memorial hall. The
daughter was born on the 26 day of
August in Philadelphia and was named
Nancy Hunter Potter, in honor of Dr.
Lloyd's secretary and sister of Mrs.
Potter.

Miss Hunter has not seen her name-
sake yet but has a picture of the baby
which she has been proudly exhibiting
to visitors in the president's office.

Ralph R. Colbert, for the first home
game. Fourteen stronger than last
year, it will make its first appearance
at the pep meeting for the Tusculum
game and will march on the field the
next evening.

Because of the limited time for drill,
Mr. Colbert requests student coopera-

at times of practice, as spectators add

Japanese Viewpoint

(Continued from page one)

Some people still take it for granted

at Akana doesn't know English and
try to spell out the words for him.
Akana, who learned the language in
Japan from his American mother,
speaks perfect English without a trace
of an accent. Even his slang is up to
date.

In Maryville his first contact with
any queer ideas concerning the Japanese
came when he registered. He was sign-
ing the conduct pledge on his regis-
tration card and asked jokingly of the
woman in charge, "Do you have to do
this in blood?" In spite of his smile he
was forced to repeat three times before
the woman realized that he wasn't
serious. And even then comments went
around the room about that "queer
Japanese boy." If any other person in
the room had made the remark it
would have been laughed off as a joke
— the way it was meant.

Akana says that several ministerials
think him a heathen and expect to find
him practicing r.ome pagan rite alone
in his room or in the darkness of the
campus. At least a dozen people have
tried to convert him to Presbyterian-
ism, Baptism, Methodism, or some
other religion since he arrived on the
Maryville campus. Akana says he is an
Episcopalian, has been for years, and
intends to stay so.

One thing in particular that "gets
him," says Akana, is the way people
condescendingly allude to his "orien-
talism" as the cause of any eccentricity
or peculiarity he might have. He can't
even have a difference of opinion with
anyone, he says, without that person
saying that his opposing view is due to
his "orientalism."

All in all Akana is as Americanized
as he can be without becoming a
citizen. He walks, talks, and acts
like any other person. He isn't queer;
he doesn't turn cartwheels down the
hall, sit on.the floor, or eat with chop
sticks like he says some people expect
him to.

Queer American ideas about him
don't bother Akana a great deal any-
more, though. He says that after spend-
ing four years in this country he's
used to it and now accepts it as cus-
tomary.

MARYVILLE, TENN. OCTOBER 2, 1937

Lancaster Chosen
President of the
Student Council

Hunt, Pond Get Offices;

Upper Classes Elect

Representatives

John Lancaster, senior representa-
tive, was elected president of the Stu-
dent council for the coming year at
the first meeting of the new council
last Thursday evening. He is a member
of the Hi-Trail, men's hiking club, and
student head of the post office and
book store. His name has been among
the leading ones on the school honor
rolls, having a 9.1 average at the spring
semester of last year.

Other officers elected at the meeting
over which Helen Maguire, president
pro-tern, presided were J. T. Hunt,
senior, vice-president; and Catherine
Pond, junior, secretary-treasurer.

The meeting was attended by the
members elected at the Wednesday
morning class meetings. From the
senior class, in addition to Miss Ma-
guire, Hunt, and Lancaster were Simp-
son Spencer, William Swearingen, Ruth
Haines, Frances Nelson, and Martha
Watson. The juniors elected were
Emma Probasco, Harriet Barber, Eu-
gene Orr, Robert Martin, Ernest Craw-
ford, and Miss Pond. Sophomore rep-
resentatives were Ruth Mack, Ruth
Abercrombie, Harry Ferran, and
Harold Copeland.

The group decided that it would
hold its meetings every Monday even-
ing at 6:45, the place to be announced
later.

The purpose of the Council is to act
as a mediary between the faculty and
the students. Suggestions for school
improvement should be made to the
class representative who will bring the
suggestion to the council.

Later in the month, when new stu-
dents have become better acquainted,
the council will sponsor an election
in the freshmen class to elect officers
and two council members for that
organization.

Football speeches, band music,,
cheers, and presentation of uniforms
to the band sponsor and drum major
featured the first pep meeting of the
year, which was held Thursday even-
ing in the chapel.

Captain Jim Renfro, co-captain Jim
Proffitt and Coach L. S. Honaker spoke
of the football prospects for Maryville.
The college band, under Ralph R. Col-
bert's direction, played several num-
bers.

Frank Brink, freshman, and Bill
Young, Rusty Wicklund, and Russ
Stevenson, last year's cheer leaders, led
the cheers. These four were elected by
the student body from a field of six at
the chapel exercises Thursday morn-
ing.

During the program Miss Katherine
Davies, of the music and fine arts de-

Weldon Baird, president of the
Athletic Board of Control, called a
special meeting of the group Thursday
evening in response to student interest
arounsed by editorial comment in last
week's Highland Echo. The committee
appointed to study the constitution,
which was recognized as being out of
date, is composed of Coach Lombe S.
Honaker, Edith Pierce, Catherine
Pond, William Collins, and John Odell.
This committee will revise and re-
write the constitution, return it to the
Board for approval, and later submit
it to the student body for adoption.

Additional business was taken up at
the meeting in the form of the working
up of a "B" team football schedule.
Members of the board will begin
negotiations at once with other schools
in an attempt to round out a full
schedule with other substitute teams
of about the same strength as the
Highlanders. The Y. M. C. A. athletic
program worked out this year by
Russell Stevenson and Roy Talmage
was sent back with suggestions for a
few changes. The revised schedule,
which will be confirmed this week by
the board, contains a plan for the
awarding of numerals and cups to par-
ticipants in a certain number of in-
tramural athletic events.

Other officers of the Board, which
was elected last May, are vice-presi-
dent, John Odell; and secretary-treas-
urer, Howard McGill. The student
representatives include Catherine
Pond, Edith Pierce, Bill Young, and
Bill Collins; Miss Jessie Heron and
Professor Fred Griffitts are the faculty
members serving on the board. Mr.
Joe Gamble, local lawyer, and Mr. Belt
Keathley, teacher in Maryville High
school, are the town representatives.

Seventy Students Are
Approved For N. Y. A.
Projects This Year

Completed after two weeks of dis-
cussion and revision by a special
student-faculty committee on publica-
tions, the tentative plan for a 1938
Chilhowean will be submitted to the
members of the two upper classes in
meetings next Wednesday. Heading the
committee was Professor Verton M.
Queener. Working with him were
James Proffitt and Don Killian, presi-
dent and treasurer respectively of the
senior class, Fred Rhody, Mary Cham-
bers, and Helen Bobo, officers of the
junior class, Simpson Spencer, editor
of hte 1937 Chilhowean, and Weldon
Baird, business manager of the new
yearbook.

; The committee reached the plan
after considerable debate and com-
promise. Fred Rhody, Weldon Baird,
and Mary Chambers drew up the per-
manent form which was sent to the
Executive council of the faculty and
Dr. Lloyd for extensive revision. The
final form which will be submitted to
the junior and senior classes follows.

The Junior class shall publish a
Chilhowean, subject to the following
terms:

1. That the total cost of the annual
shall not exceed $2000 on a basis of 400
copies; (Last year's annual cost $3600.)

2. That the sale price of the book
shall be $4. .00 each, each individual
paying for his copy directly, instead of
through class dues, with the payment
of the class dues entitling the pur-
chaser to his picture in his class sec-
tion as well as an annual, providing
that that portion, at least, of his class
dues to be used for class Chilhowean
expenses has been paid; each indivi-

dual shall furnish the photograph or
print to appear in his class section.

3. That an individual may have his
picture in his class section, even though
he does not purchase an annual, by
paying to the business manager the
sum of the cost of one page divided by
the total number of pictures to appear
on that page, plus their corresponding
share of the engraving cost;

4. That the Junior class shall deposit
a guarantee of 10 per cent of the esti-
mated total cost of the Chilhowean, at
the risk of forfeiting the deposit, en-
tirely or in part, in event of a deficit;
the certificate of deposit to be held by
the chairman of the Faculty Auditing
committee, until the annuals are de-
livered to the purchasers and all
accounts are settled, at which time
said deposit will be returned to the
treasurer of the Junior class; (Note:
It was suggested that the Senior class
deposit one-half of the 10 per cent,
making only a 5 per cent deposit re-
quired of each of the two classes.)

5. That there shall be a written agree-
ment between the Junior class and the
annual's editor and business manager,
the agreement being as follows:

The business manager and editor of
the Chilhowean shall be responsible
and accountable to the Junior class.
Said business manager's accounts must
be available for auditing by the faculty
auditing committee at any time the
Junior class shall ask for an audit, or
when the auditing committee may call
for the books. The editor's plans are
subject to review by the faculty pub-
lications committee at any time. After

About 200 Reference Works
Being Catalogued

Although the appropriation for the
college has been cut from $1500 to $900
this year, seventy students began work
on N. Y. A. projects last Thursday
morning. This represents about sixty
per cent of last year's N. Y. A. pro-
gram.

Among the projects being financed
this year are work in the local schools
by college students, one extra assistant
in each laboratory of the college, social
service work in town, the compiling of
bibliographies in the library, and a

All of the N. Y. A. projects have not
yet been assigned but will probably be
completed within the next week.

The Bell Ringer Has No Holiday

High up in Anderson hall, at the top
of 51 interminable steps, live Mary-
ville's two most harassed students. Ed
Rolerson and Howard Davis, bell-
ringers to the college. They live always
in the ominous shadow of the bell,
pursuing the jittery tenor of their way
with the ever-present knowledge that
in a few minutes the bell has to be
rung. They spend most of their working
hours consulting their watches, which
are set daily by radio time signals.
Were it not for the looped-up length
of manila rope hanging through a hole
in the ceiling of the boy's room, it
would be a very obtuse visitor indeed
who could remain more than five
minutes and still feel welcome. But
their clock complex to the contrary,
the boys like company, and get it, with
a short wave radio and lights all
night.

Asked concerning the much-mooted

question of how long the 6 o'clock bell
is rung, bell-ringers Davis and
Roberson avow that no more than 60
mellifluous peals greet the new day —
or in the more technical terminology
of their trade — they give it "30 dings
and 30 dongs." Responsible witnesses
abound, however, who are willing to
take an affidavit to the effect that "that
fool bell (yawn) rings every morning
(yawn yawn) until the clapper gets
red hot.''

Howard Davis still recalls with con-
siderable professional chagrin the time
he returned to the campus at what he
thought was just before 7. Having ask-
ed if the first study bell had rung, he
waited to hear the second. One minute
two minutes . . still no bell. In
a frenzy of consientiousness he took the
51 steps in the shortest recorded time,
almost burst down the door in an effort

All Students, Faculty
Must Have Auto Tags
Renumbered for Space

Governor Gordon Browning of Ten-
nessee jmade his first speech on his
visit to East Tennessee last Wednesday
morning when he addressed the college
students and faculty in Voorhees
chapel. He was en route to the Knox-
ville fair to celebrate "Governor's
Day," a designation made in his honor.

The governor emphasized the fact
that service is a more important goal
in life than wealth. He said that too
many people try to get out of the world
what they think the world owes them,
when the important thing is to give the
world what you owe it. He compli-
mented the college on its Christian
principles, and deplored the lack of
those principles in so many institu-
tions.

Accompanying the governor was R.
O. Smith, adjutant-general on the chief
executive's staff, former principal of
Maryville high school, and a graduate
of the Class of 1916 in the college; and
Colonel H. M. Taylor of Knoxville.
Several town friends were present to
meet the governor and adjutant-gen-
eral Smith. He was introduced by Dr.
Ralph Lloyd, and the devotional part
of the program was led by Dr. William
Stevenson, college pastor, and partici-
pated in by the college choir.

Institutional Management

Class Serves Five

Days A Week

The first meeting of the Faculty club
will be held next Monday evening in
Science hall. As in the past, dinner
will be served by women of the Home
Economics department under the direc-
tion of Miss Gertrude Meiselwitz, head*
of the department. The speaker of the
evening is to be Miss Mary Keller,
associate professor of psychologyo and
education, who will read a paper on
"William James, a Seeker after the
Truth."

The club is organized on the com-
mittee plan with Dr. Horace E. Orr,
head of the department of religious
education, as chairman. He is assisted
by Prof. Susan Green, head of the de-
partment of biology, and Mr. Kenneth
Lagerstedt, associate professor of
French and German, and Miss Keller.
This committee has made plans for
several interesting meetings during the
coming year. In addition to some out-
side speakers, papers will be read by
various members of the faculty.

The Faculty club was organized
seven years ago at the suggestion of ,
Dr. Ralph Waldo Lloyd soon after his
acceptance of the presidency.

The work of three former members
of the Maryville College Writers'
workshop constitutes the major part
of the current issue of the Tennessee
Folklore society's bulletin. "The Quilt"
by Helen Gamble Dunning, "So Luck
Goes" by Edwin J. Best, and "Silver
Bullet" by Daphne Harris are the'
selections. Mrs. Dunning, a former
member of the education department,
is now living in Chicago. Mr. Best is
in the offices of the T. V. A., Knoxville.
Miss Harris, a member of last year's
graduating class, resides at her home in
Maryville.

The Bulletin, issued quarterly by the
Tennessee Folklore society is edited by
Dr. E. R. Hunter, director of curricu-
lum. Dr. Hunter, in an editorial com-
ment on the stories says, "Perhaps one
of the most effective media for the
presentation of folk materials is the
realistic sketch or story taking its color
from localized speech, custom, and be-
lief."

The annual meeting of the society
will be held on November 13, at
Pleasant Hill.

Because of a revision in the system
of numbering parking spaces on the
campus, it has been necessary to have
all automobile permit tags renumbered
by the maintenance department.

The reason for the slight change in
the parking arrangement, according to
Louis A. Black, maintenance director,
is that sometimes visitors to the cam-
pus, and chapel speakers, have found

Practice Teachers Help
To Relieve Overcrowded
Town School Conditions

The practice teaching department of
the College is cooperating in helping to
relieve the overcrowded condition of
the town schools. The practice teach-
ing has always been carried on in the
town schools, but heretofore has been
merely observation.

Superintendent Brewer suggested
that it would be a fine service for
several student teachers to do special
work with small groups from over-
I crowed rooms. Not only does this work

it difficult to find space to park near ,

the chapel without obstructing traffic. ^nefit the Publi,c s<*ooh< but J *lso

The new numbering system differs
from the old merely in providing
spaces near the chapel for the cars of
these visitors.

Any student or faculty member using
his car at the college is required to get
a permit tag from the maintenance
director. Permits cost nothing provid-
ing they are returned at the end of the
year. Cars must be parked at the
assigned spaces.

makes it possible for these student
teachers to get much more practical
experience.

Five women students have been
assigned to this work: Anne SherrilL
Jonnie Lewis, Mildred Dillard, Frances
£ampbell, and Mildred Fair. The stu-
dents have become so vitally interested
that they are spending approximately
twice as much time on practice teach-
ing as formerly.

Bainonian Has
Formal Opening

Ooten to be Hostess At
Alumni Gym.

The College tearoom, sponsored by
the Institutional Management class,
was opened Wednesday, September 22,
in the Home Economics dept. Lunch
is served five days a week, from Mon-
day through Friday, for 15c to 25c
each. The tearoom is open to the pub-
lic if arrangements are made before-
hand, as only twenty-two people can
be accommodated.

Professor Gertrude Meiselwitz, head
of the Home Economics department,
organized the Institutional Manage-
ment class this year to meet the re-
quirements of those who are going into
hospital training later. The nine seniors
who are enrolled in the course are
managing the tearoom as 'heir lab-
oratory project. Each week one mem-
ber has complete charge: planning the
menus, making the market orders, do-
ing the shopping, arranging the sche-
dules of the other workers, and acting
as hostess. Lillian Borgquist was the
first hostess. Ruth Emory has charge
this week.

Patterned after similar classes at the
University of Illinois and the Univer-
sity of Chicago, the Institutional man-
agement class is selfsustaining, inde-
pendent of the budget of the Home
Economics department.

Besides managing the College Tea-
room, the girls will do observation
work in hospitals, cafeterias, and
hotels in Knoxville.

John Talmage Returns
To Korea As Missionary

This evening at 8 o'clock Hotel
Bainonian will hold its formal opening
night. Mary Frances Ooten, a Bain-
onian of last year, is to be the hostess
of the Hotel's Rainbow Room (Alumni
Gym).

The program will show the usual
events which take place in the ball-
room of a hotel. A skit by Lois Black
has been woven about the program.
The characters are Gerald Beaver,
Carol Ward, Gordon Bennett, and Lois
Black. Gerald Beaver will play the
organ during the skit.

Dick Woodring, Bob Cusworth, Ed
Goddard, and Harry Ferran will form
a waiter's quartet. Lillian Borgquist as
the hotel chambermaid will sing, "It'll
All Come Out In The Wash". Irma
Souder and Gerry Beaver will tap
dance. Don McArthur and Russell
Hirsch as members of the hotel staff
will also give their contributions to
the program by songs.

John E. Talmage, brother of Roy and
Janet of Maryville, sailed for Korea on
September 25. He will not be stationed
in the same city as his parents, but in
Kun-San.

John was graduated from Maryville
in '34, and went directly to Columbia
Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. While in
Maryville he played number one on the
tennis team, and was president of the
Ministerial association. He was married
during the summer, and is returning
to Korea as a missionary.

Pearson Manners

Much has been said about the cultural value of the
new ruling that men must wear coats to the evening
meals. We like the idea, and regret only that the rule had
to be passed because of an indifferent minority.

It would seem, however, that the improving of manners
in Pearson's could be better stressed. Bad manners from
a man in a coat and tie are just as distasteful as from a
man in a sweatshirt or sweater, if not more so.

The men are usually given all the blame for careless-
ness but it must be admitted that some of the women
come into the dining room looking as if they had come
directly from the tennis courts.

As soon as the bell is rung there is a scramble for the
tables. Why all the mad rush? Is all of the pushing, shov-
ing, elbowing necessary?

Sprawling over the plates, tossing the bread, sucking
coffee from the cups, cracking dirty jokes at table, putting
platters of food on the floor — these are a few of the prac-
tices that should be stopped.

Perhaps we're old-fashioned, but we fail to see the
humor in someone trying to throw chewing gum into
another's milk, especially if it should be ours.

If forcing the men to wear coats to meals raises the
cultural tone to very noticeable degree, then perhaps an
editorial on manners will not be necessary.

Give the Frosh
A Chance

Several upperclassmen have been amusing themselves
by giving out free advice to the freshmen under an
assumed air of helpfulness and brotherliness. Some ol
this advice is humorous, although much of it can easily
become harmful.

Telling a freshman that if after he has had two dates
with the same girl, he doesn't take her to Vespers every
Sunday a student court will make things unpleasant for
him, is amusing; but the pitiful thing is that many fresh-
men are just gullible enough to swallow all of this rot.

Many freshmen whose ideas about college life are
formed primarily from pre-depression movies and stories
written about college life by people who never finished
high school, will accept almost anything as truth, as
evidenced by their blind faith in the fatherly advice of
our more sophomoric upperclassmen.

> Some freshmen have been told to forget about cer-
tain rules, that no one expects him to obey them. The
fellows who take this advice might find themselves taking
some more advice about the proper way to pack their
trunks.

Some of the other words of wisdom have been that
to get a grade under so-and-so all you have to do is to
smile at him sweetly every day (if you're a co-ed) and if
you are a man it won't do you any good to study anyway,
since he will give you whatever he wants to.

By laughing at another's jokes you're guaranteed a
good grade, or so it's said. To make an A under another
professor all you have to do is to drop around and tell him
about some books you've been reading. Very interesting,
if these things were true.

By such advice as this some of you upperclassmen
are causing negative attitudes to be developed on the part
of many of the freshmen. And you are not allowing the
facutly to do their best with their students. If you must
give advice, give it sparingly, and be sure it is correct.

THE FhSSIMIsrS VIEWPOINT

Gordon Browning of Tennessee will go far in
American politics. His presence on the Maryville plat-
form Wednesday was an honor some of us from out of the
state did not appreciate fully. He left his audience visibly
convinced of the worth of the things he had said and of
the sincerity of the man himself.

Yet he said few things we have not all heard before.
He typified the old-fashioned orator. His speech taught
us nothing, touched no controversial subject. Even his
illustrations and jokes were familiar. It was the manner of
his appeal that was compelling; he called to the best in
each of us: our intelligence, our religious interests, our
unselfish impulses, our patriotism, our mank»ess and
womanliness. He impressed his audience by flattering
them — "of course you as students are not the kind of
people who need a speech like this." He made us like him
because he made of each of us a heroic Governor
Browning.

We like to be talked with. We were reminded of a
description of the Old Calvanist in George Santayana's
recent book, "The Last Puritan."

"Your hard-boiled moralists were idolaters, wor-
shipping their own fancies and hypnotised by their own
words. They had perched at a certain height on the tree
of knowledge, had stuck fast at a certain point up the
greased pole of virtue. They would climb no farther; and
from there they had turned and pecked ferociously at
everybody below them, and screeched ferociously at
everybody above, invoking their hard, dry reason to
discredit all that was beyond their own meagre and cruel
morality."

The point is clear. Yes, Gordon Browning will go far
in American politics.

Beauty: "Religion is not a matter of argument. It is
a wisdom that surpasses wisdom. It drifts in men's souls
as the foggy dew comes unbidden to the trees" — from Don
Byrne's "Messer Marco Polo".

In "Nonsuch" by William Beebe: "As a panacea for
a host of human ills and worries and fears, I think I
should advocate a law that every toothbrush should have
a small telescope in its handle and the two used equally.
Five minute's compulsory evening concentration through
opera-glass or telescope by every king, senator, merchant,
farmer, student and ordinary human, would bring the
millenium as near as. any of us want it, and an observa-
tory on the roof of every prison and church would, I be-
lieve, aid respectively in a marked emigration and im-
migration."

Spencer Elected Head
Of Workshop Gov. Board

There is a destiny that shapes our ends rough, hew
them though we may.

WISDOM OF WOZZIE THE WAG

Harken ye to the counsel of wisdom, that thy days may
be long (but not too long) in the college which thy
father's purse doth provide. .

Walk not in the paths that lead to the motion picture
house, nor the soda fountain, not the hamburger dis-
pensary, for surely by these ways doth Destruction have
his habitation; rather tread ye the paths to the library and
the classroom, that when the day of judgment cometh
thou *halt not wail "Woe is me!"

Incline thine ear not unto the foolish words of women,
neither frivol away thy time in moonshine; for many are
they which enter into our gates, and many are they which
depart from thg gates prematurely — and at home great
is the weeping and gnashing of teeth, and loud cometh
the cries from the Woodshed.

Give ye no thought' to your grade card, for who by so
studying can add one point to his average? But seek
first the friendship and good will of thy professors, and
all these things shall be added unto thy grade.

Play not thy radio after dark, for thereby mighest thou
cause thy neighbor to cease studying; rather play ye thy
radio during the day, when there is no electricity.

Sleep not during lectures; for, verily, verily, the snorer
hath his reward.

Lend not thy tooth paste to thy neighbor, neither thy
soap, nor thy ties, nor thy tennis shoes, nor thy chemistry
book, nor the price of a hamburger, nor anything that
is thy roommate's; for heaven and earth shall surely pass
away before one jot or tittle of these things shall be re-
turned unto thee.

Wind not thy alarm clock in the night, for in the morn-
ing arises a great sound therefrom; and though the
heavens be moved and the sea be troubled, thy clock
ringeth until it runneth down.

Seek ye not the company of boasters, braggarts and
liars, lest thine own stories seem insignificant in com-
parison.

Take not thy date to a football game, for when the
garne groweth hot thy date shall desire an ice cream cone,
and when it getteth chilly shall she ask to be taken home,
and great is the anger of her if ye look not at her but at
the game.

Apply thyself diligently to thy studies, for verily, verily,
there cometh a time of Reckoning, when the lightnings
flash, ' flic thunders roll, and the heavens open, and
there ( h down the rains of examinations, and great

is the d nt thereof.

Study ye to make thyself approved unto thy teacher.
For in the mind of thy teacher abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three— but the greatest of these is charity; there-
fore be ye comforted, O ye of little brains — though the
first two vanish away still mayest thou pass, if the
charity holdeth out.

And. finally, brethern. be not puffed up with much
eating, neither strain thy brain with over-flunking.
Practice ye moderation in all thing:;, whether it be food,
pr sleep, or play, or moonshine, or study. And if ye be
moderate in studying for thy teacher, even so shall thy
t acher be unto thee — and a moderate B is more to be
desired than D, yea, than much fine C's.

A song the column predicts a great
future for is "Goodnight my dearest
dear" with words by Lois Black and]
music by Jerry Beaver. 'Tis said the
pair have a chance to copywrite their
number. And why not? The last decent
"good night song" appeard last spring
("Goodnight my love" in "Stoway''— a
lousy picture) and it would seem that
it was time for another one. "Good
night my dearest dear" is to be pre-
sented for the first time at Bainonian's
Opening Night.

The freshman sight-singing class has
moved to larger quarters in the Fine
Arts Studio after the members had
practically hung from the walls last
week in the small theory room. The
reason for the rapid enlargement of
this normally small music class is the
absence of good sight readers among
aspirants for the College choir.

Tuesday evening Prof. Colbert drill-
ed the College Band in preparation for
their first appearance Friday evening
at the M. C— Tusculum game. In suite
of many new members the band went

regular meeting Friday afternoon at
4:30, in the Fine Arts Studio. Dvoark's

ed. Eddie Brubaker will be the com-
mentator. All are welcome.

dent; and Bill Felknor, secretary-
treasurer. Entertainment was furnished
in the form of a vocal solo by Bob
Cusworth and a trumpet solo by Ralph
Reed. Both were accompanied by Zula
Vance.

Two class treasurers were elected
last Wednesday morning to fill vacan-
cies caused by two students not re-
turning. The junior class chose William
Alston to fill the vacancy left by
Robert Goff, while William Karukas'
vacant place in the sophomore class
will be filled by Keith Augenstein.

Alston is a biology assistant and
president of the Nature club. Augen-
stein is a ranking member of last
year's tennis team and one of the
chapel caretakers.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

0, PIONEER

Remember what Jim Proffitt said at the pep-meeting about the beating
he and the other Maryville boys absorbed at Greeneville last year?

It seems to us that the Scots gained an ample measure of revenge for
any injury or insult received at the hands of Tusculum in the past when
they dealt out such horrendous misery to the Pioneers last night.

If we can say it without seeming to make light of ^he misfortunes of the
Disney-ites, the Tusculum injuries came in a wave that^M almost comical in
its rapidity.

One orange man could hardly be carried to the bench before another
lay stretched on the damp sod of Wilson field. None of the injured were
really in serious condition, however, according to the latest reports we could
get.

To say that the Pioneers hit a streak of tough luck woul* be t» win the Ignoble
prize for understatement.

There are two reasons, we believe, for the epidemic of punch-drunk- itis.
In the first place, condition. In the second place, and to get closer to the point,
the Pioneers contacted a sudden attdck'of simply b¥ing knocked silly by some
of the hardest running and tackling we have seen by a Scot football team.
True, the Highlanders missed some blocks, even s6me tackles; but when they
did hit the mark they hit with everything they had.

Altogether it was a tough evening for the visitors, but they at least had
nice, soft turf to land on (oh, yeah) rather than the hard baked surface with
which the Scots came in violent contact at Greeneville in 1936.

WE PASS

While on the subject of football we would like to pause a moment
and wonder just what the passcombine of Hughes to Odell and vice versa will
do when they get their paws on a dry ball.

They tossed it around with fair success last night, their efforts resulting
directly in one score and indirectly in another.

Look out Hiwassee. Better have Deacon Wilburn invoke a rain storm or
something.

WE ARE BELITTLED

Let us now close with a quotation taken from the sayings of Scrappy
Moore of Chattanooga, as found in the sports collections of Wirt Gammon's
Chattanooga Times. We quote:

Just in case some of the boys might have had an idea that they are pretty
good after beating Maryville, I had a meeting tonight (Monday). I told them
this: Maryville is not in shape. (And here is the unkindest cut of all) Our
freshmen could beat them— easy ...... %. ,

We unquote, and the parentheses are ours.

Scrappy, how could you?

Gillingham Meets
Morrow In Finals
Of Fall Net Meet

'36 Champ and Runner-up
Meet Again

The men's tennis finals of the fall
tennis tournament sponsored by the
athletic committee of the N. M. C. A.,
between Ted Gillingham, title defen-
der from last year, and Frank Morrow,
runner-up last year, is scheduled for
this afternoon and will be played,
weather permitting on the college
tennis court.

Last Thursday Gillingham and Mor-
row reached the finals by defeating
Keith Augenstein and Russ Colombo,
respectively. Gillingham won in a hard
fought three set matche 6-3, 7-5, 12-10.
Instead of the three set score, the score
of the last set was probably the respec-
tive strength of the two men. Morrow
won over Colombo in a four set match,
6-3, 6-1, 2-6, 7-5.

To gain the semi-finals Gillingham
defeated McCammon, Augenstein beat
Czepial, Colombo won over Morgan,
and Morrow defeated Lloyd. All four
of the semi-finalists were seded play-
ers and three of the four played, atler-
nately, Numbers 1, 2, and three on the
varsity tennis squad last spring.

Beginning today and the first of next
week the YMCA sponsored fall doubles
tournament, both for faculty members
and students, will get under way. The
rules are that the first and second
rounds must be played off by Wednes-
day

■ The f av*dr!teW to win the tourney are,
of course, Gillingham and Morrow,
Number one doubles on the college
tennis team. But they should receive
some stiff competition from Augen-
stein and Colombo, Dr. Lloyd and Van
Cise, and Fischbach and Kosloski.

Also starting next week for the first
time is the playing of the matches be-
tween the different classes. Each class
will play every other class and each
match will consist of four singles and
one doubles.

The Scot gridmen's second home
game Friday night brings Hiwassee
Junior College of Madisonville to Wil-
son field for what may or may not be
a test of the Maryville football
strength.

Coach D. R. Youell's Tigers have .500
percentage according to the last avail-
able information. They opened very
auspiciously with a surprise win over
the SMC titleholders, Carson-Newman.
Last week, though, they ran into a
tartar in the Sewanee Tigers, perennial
door- mat of the Southeastern Con-
ference, nad were dumped, 40-0.

After last night's impressive win over
Tusculum it may be hard for Coach
Honaker to impress his charges with
the danger that Hiwassee represents,
if any.

Last year the Scots piled up a four-
touchdwon victory over the Tigers in
the first home game, with Captain
"Corky'' Crawford and Jack Overly on
the scoring end. Both of these fellows
are now among the gone-but-not-for-
gotten.

Hughes, Odell, and Burris seem to
be the Scots' main scoring threats this
year, if last night's fiasco is any indi-
cation.

If they can keep it up it is fairly safe
to wrap up the Hiwassee scalp for
delivery to the Maryville trophy room
Friday. i " l

Womens' Point System

Holds Bi-weekly

Meeting

On Thursday afternoon at the first
meeting of point system, Janet Talmage
met with 50 freshmen, 35 sophomores,
and 28 juniors and seniors. It is expect-
ed that even more women will turn
out for the first soccer practice Tues-
day.

A feature of this year's program is
the. emphasis to be laid on daily out-
door exercise. A new system of check-
ing on this exercise has been adopted.

Point system meets every Tuesday
and Thursday for freshman at 3:00,
sophomores at 3:45, and juniors and
seniors at 4:30. It is hoped that all
women at all interested in sports will
turn out.

BYRNE DRUG CO.

Al Burris was the big gun last night
as the Highlanders opened their Smoky
Mountain aampaign by shelling Tus-
culum 25-0.

The Scot quarterback picked up a
total of 110 yards on smashes at the
Pioneer tackles, his best effort being
a 20-yard run for the second touch-
down in the third period.

The first tally came in vthe opening
minutes of play. After receiving Odell's
kick-off the Pioneers punted out to
midfield. From here the Scots drove
over in half a dozen plays. Chuck
Kindred's get-away for twenty yards, a
pass to Odell, and Freshman J. D.
Hughes' scoring thrust at right tackle
were the potent factors in this first
march.

Junior Odell, making his debut at
end before the home folks, place-
kicked the extra point to give Mary-
ville a seven point edge with the con-
test barely under way.

The local boys had Tusculum back
on their heels throughout this quarter.
They were opening big holes on offense
and breaking through on defense to
smear the Pioneer attack before it had
a chance to generate any power.

The orange-clad Pioneers came to
life temporarily in the second canto,
holding the Highlanders almost on even
terms. This period was largely a kick-
ing duel, with Odell and Garner hold-
ing an edge. The Scots reached pay-
off territory again but were unable to
muster sufficient punch to cover the
last ten yards.

Coach Ty Disney's men looked as if
they might cause the Highlanders
plenty trouble in spite of a poor start.
That seven point lead still looked safe
enough, but not exactly comfortable.

The second half was a different story.

It was in the third quarter that Al
Burris really went to town. The early
minutes of this frame found Maryville in
possession of the ball on their own 40.
In exactly six plays the Honakermen
were over for their second marker,
with Al personally accounting for
about fifty "of those sixty yards. He
carried the ball four times, the last
being a twenty yard dash which ended
over the Pioneer goal line. This run,
a blow at tackle, provided a thrill for
the spectators when Burris uncorked
a fancy side step to elude the last man
in his path on the four yard line.

Odell, his extra-point making over
for the evening, had his attempted
place-kick blocked.

The big boys in the middle of the
Scot line played a large part in shoot-
ing Burris, Hughes, Kindred, and the
other backs into the Tusculum second-
ary during these two scoring drives.

Jim Proffitt, Captain Jim Renfro, Nig
Wilburn, and the tackles, Arnold
Kramer and Fred Tulloch, were piling
up every thrust at the Scot forewall on
defense and opening wide holes on the
attack.

Hughes grabbed high point honors
with his second touchdown and Mary-
ville's third in the same quarter.

This time it was a long pass, Odell
to Hughes, thrown from punt forma-
tion, which caught the visiting fire-
men asleep and placed our side in an
enviable position on the twelve yard
line.

Another toss, with Hughes switching
to the throwing end, was snagged on
the one yard stripe by Jim Etheredge,
who, incidentally, looked mighty good
at end last night.

Hughes plowed through on the next
play to bring the count to 19-0.

The grand finale came on another
Hughes to Odell pass. The stage was
set for this one when Tusculum re-
ceived a penalty to their own one yard
line and kicked out short.

The Scots took possession on the
twenty-two and turned Burris loose to
the twelve yard stripe. From here
Odell took Hughes' pass over the goal
line for the last score.

The resulting 25-0 count seems to
afford plenty ointment for the Scot
'xruises received in the fray at Greene-
ville last season.

One fact stands out: the whole squad
showed improvement over the form
exhibited at Chattanooga in the season-
opener. But neither contest so far has
provided any accurate measure of the
team's strength. That is still to be
shown. It will be soon after Milligan
hits town, if not before.

LCHOES Of THE PAST

September 18, 1917

The ninety-ninth year of Maryville
college begins with the installation of
the college pastor. Dr. William P.
Stevenson resigned his position as
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
of Yonkers, New York, to come to
Maryville. He is erecting a residence
in the beautiful cleared field in the
midst of the college woods, near the
springs, which he plans to call "The

House in the Woods."

*****

When war was declared the sixth of
last April, Maryville students began at
once to consider various branches of
service with a view to finding the field
of service where their efforts would be
most effective. Consequently Maryville
men are found in nearly every branch

of military activity.

*****

Baldwin lawn was the scene of the
annual faculty reception last Satur-
day afternoon. After refreshments
were served, "the game of snap was
freely induluged in by all students as

well as some of the faculty."
*****

Among the new arrivals in the
faculty is Dr. Edwin R. Hunter, pro-
fessor of English. He was graduated
from Maryville college in the class of
1914. While here he was prominent in
campus affairs, being a debater, ex-
ex-president of the Athenian Literary
editor of the college Monthly, and an
society.

Sept. 16, 1927

Several improvements have been
made about the campus during the
summer. The new concrete road lead-
ing from Court street up to the post
office is a gift of the classes of '26 and
'27. Automatic fire sprinkler systems
have been installed in Baldwin and

Memorial halls.

Miss Frances Henry, of Mt. Sterling,

Disc Club to Hear
Dvorak's Symphony

First Meeting to be Held
Friday Afternoon

"The New World Smyphony" by
Dvorak will be played at a Disc club
meeting Friday at 4:30 in the Fire Arts
studio. Edward Brubaker will be the
commentator for the program.

This symphony, which has been
called Dvorak's greatest, is the only one
in symphonic literature by a great
European composer using American
music as its theme. Dvorak, who spent
several years in this country, used
American negro folk songs as a basis
for his masterpiece.

One of the most successful clubs on
the hill, the Disc club was formed last
year by the Fine Arts department in
order that students might hear and
appreciate fine music. The club meets
every other Friday afternoon. All
music lovers, whether students or
faculty, are invited to attend.

hospital recently has returned there on
the advice of her doctor. Miss Hutchin-
son's knee was injured in a fall.

Vida Kirkman and Barbara Mc-
Cutcheon are also in the infirmary.
Miss Kirkman has pleurisy and Miss
McCutcheon has a cold.

During the summer, the hospital was

BELL RINGERS

(Continued from page one)
to get it open and jumped for the bell
rope. Not until several friends from
Carnegie come over to offer their
assistance did he realize that he had
rung it at 8 o'clock! His informant,
when assuring him that the first study
hall bell had rung, had neglected to
mention the trifling detail that the
second had, too, an hour ago. The bell
was variously interpreted as being
everything from a signal of distress to
a fire alarm.

Interesting as a study in comparative
values are the offers of personal
emolument received by the boys
periodically. Fifty cents is the highest
bid to date for forgetting to ring the
moonshine bell but no one has ever
thought of offering less than a dollar to
sleep till breakfast some morning.

Dean of bell ringers is Prof. J. H.
Kiger, now of the faculty, who rang
the bell for 3 years during his student
days here. Prof. Kiger used to walk all
the way to the telegraph office every
noon to check his watch by observa-
tory signals, and acquired such a repu-
tation for accuracy that townspeople
set their clocks by his bells. But
Howard and Ed who, between their
dinging and donging go around singing
"My Time Is Your Time," sympathize
with Prof. Kiger— and all bell ringers
before and since who have ever tried
to concentrate while the second hand
of a watch dangling before their eyes
was ticking around toward bell time.

MARYVILLE, TENN. OCTOBER 9, 1937

College Pastor
Quits Wednesday
Chapel Services

Dr. Stevenson Has Been At

Maryville College

20 Years

Examination
System Revised

After twenty years of preaching at
the regular Wednesday morning chapel
services, Dr. William P. Stevenson, col-
lege pastor, has decided to give up
this part of his ministerial program.
Dr. Stevenson, who is seventy-six
years old, feels that, although he is
now perfectly able to handle the mid-
week service, his fiftieth wedding
anniversary celebrated last June and
his twentieth year at Maryville college
serve as a convenient milepost for the
stopping of this part of his preaching
schedule. The college pastor will con-
tinue to preach at the Vesper services
for another year.

A graduate of Westminster college,
Pennsylvania, Dr. Stevenson received
his degree from the Western Theologi-
cal seminary, Pittsburgh, in 1885. He
came to Maryvillt in 1917 following his
service of fifteen years at the First
Presbyterian church of Yonkers, New
York. Still the regular Sunday morn-
ing pastor of the Shannondale church
in Knoxville, Dr. Stevenson has also
preached at the Second, the Fifth Ave.,
the Fort Sanders, and the Park City
Presbyterian churches in that city be-
sides filling many engagements in
Maryville and elsewhere.

Few people realize the extent of Dr.
Stevenson's interests out side the
church. Many know that he is now a
good golfer, hitting consistently in the
seventies, but only a few friends are
acquainted with the fact that he won
the championship of the exclusive
Dunwoodie Country cl|ub in West-
chester county, New York, two straight
years, both in 1911 and in 1912. The
pastor is also an ardent baseball fan
and is following the present World
Series games closely.

Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson are known
also for the extent of their travels. In
1910 they took a trip out through
Yellowstone National park, up the
Pacific coast as far as Skaway, Alaska,
and back home across the Canadian
Rockies. Two years later they went
on a cruise to the West Indies and had
the interesting experience of travel-
ing the whole length of the Panama
canal on a train which carried them
along the bottom of the then un-
finished canal. In 1915 Dr. and Mrs.
Stevenson sailed around South Ameri-
ca by way of the Straits of Magellan.

The Executive Council of the
Faculty, on October 7, approved the
following general plan of tests and
examinations to take the place of that
heretofore in use and to take effect at
once.

Each teacher is to give at least two
announced tests in each course dur-
ing the semester and pains are to be
taken to space these tests at as nearly
as possible equal intervals through the
semester. Then at the end of the
semester there will be a four-day sea-
son for final examinations, for which a
schedule of two-hour periods will be
set up according to which final exami-
nations designed to occupy two hours
each will be given in all courses. No
announced tests are to be given in any
course in the week immediately pre-
ceding this final examination season.

and to Cuzco, the sacred city of the

Another trip took the couple to Eng-
land and Scotland, thence to Iceland.
From there they sailed to Spitzbergen
where they travelled to within 500
miles of the Pole and were there eleven
days without seeing the sun go below
the horizon. Their itinerary then
carried them via Stockholm, Finland,
St. Petersburg, Moscow, to Warsaw
and back through Germany. More re-
cently they have motored to the Gaspe
Peninsula in Quebec and to Mexico
City and taken a transport plane to the
Pacific Coast and back. A round-the-
world trip planned in 1935 was post-
poned because Dr. Stevenson feared
the hostilities in Ethiopia would close
the Suez canal.

Dr. Lloyd has announced that the
Wednesday morning speakers to take
Dr. Stevenson's place will be selected
from the best of men in this section
of the country and will be announced
from time to time.

First Debate Meeting

Thirty-six students were present at
the first freshman debate meeting
Tuesday evening. Monday, e period
and Tuesday, d period were chosen as
the most convenient times for the two
sections of the class to meet. Professor
Verton M. Queener discussed some of
the fundementals of freshman debate.

In the near future the freshmen will
begin work on a question which will
be selected by the two classes. Fresh-
man try-outs will be held toward the
end of this semester or at the beginning
of next semester, and the members of
the freshmen debate team will be
chosen at this time. Members of the
faculty will act as judges.

The Y. W. C. A. cabinet held its
first business meeting of the year last
Thursday evening, when plans for the
current year were presented by the
various cabinet members and dis-
cussed. a

Clara Dale Echols, president, an-
nounced that the year's program
would be broad enough to include
every woman on the campus in its
activities. Although details of the pro-
gram have not all been approved by
the faculty committee, several sug-
gestions have been made.

i

The athletic events will include, in
addition to the tennis tournament now
in progress, golf matches, a swimming
meet, and ping pong tournaments.

The social department plans to en-
large its activities with monthly teas
and perhaps an egg-rolling contest for
the children of Maryville at Easter.

A new and varied series of pro-
grams have been planned. One meet-
ing a month will be of a different sort
from the usual Sunday worship ser-
vice, being a discussion of current
topics of interest to college women.
Other programs will include medita-
tive worship, music, and speakers both
from outside the campus and from the
faculty.

New silverware and pans have been
bought for the kitchen and several new
magazines have been subscribed for
the reading room. More equipment for
the Y rooms will be acquired later in
the year.

As in the past, the Y.' W. will help
support the mission at Sunnybrook,
the peace forum, the interracial com-
mission, the lyseum, and the Y Shoppe.

Little Symphony
Starts Rehearsal

President John Lancaster announced
the members of his commitees at the
meeting of the Student council held
last Monday evening.

The social committe which was ap-
pointed last year has two council mem-
bers on it. They are Helen Maguire and
Robert Martin. Win Ross is chairman
of the committee, and it has Don Rugh,
Etta Culbertson, Weldon Baird, and
Helen Bewley as members from the
student body. This committee planned
the formal dinner, and has charge of
all social functions on the hill.

The committee in charge of pep meet-
ings is headed by John Stafford and
is composed of Edith Pierce, Sarah
Bolton, and Harry Ferran. It is also
their duty to provide for the decora-
tion of the field for football games and
to provide a between-the halves pro-
gram.

The student-faculty committee,
which meets once a week and handles
matters pertinent to student-faculty
relationships, is composed of two
seniors, two juniors, one sophomore,
and one freshman, all members of the
council. This year William Swearingen,
Ruth Haines, Earnest Crawford, Emma
Probasco, Harold Copeland, and a
freshman yet to be elected comprise
the committee.

A committee provided for *y the
constitution of the Highland Echo
which oversees student activities on the
weekly is composed of four council
members. They are Martha Watson,
Eugene Orr, Harriet Barber, and Ruth
Mack. This committee meets with the
faculty publications committee and the
staff editors of the Echo to fill vacan-
cies on the staff of the paper.

Biology Seminars
For Senior Majors
Started This Week

Concert Program Presented
Later in Fall

The college little symphony started
rehearsals Tuesday evening on two
symphonic works which will be in-
cluded in a concert program to be
given later in the fall. They are the
"Egmont Overture" by Beethoven and
the "Tales from the Vienna Woods" by
Strauss.

The "Egmont Overture'' was written
by Boothoven in 1810 as part of the
music to the German poet Goethe's
tragedy "Egmont." Today it is one of
Beethoven's most popular works. It
has been called music of "extraordi-
nary greatness" and full of "power,
individuality, and character."

The "Tales from the Vienna Woods"
is another Strauss waltz. It is with
many people more popular than the
better known "Beautiful Blue Danube
Waltz'' which the orchestra played last
year. It has been described as "rhyth-
mic and melodious with magnificant
harmonies."

Another piece of music which the
little symphony will play in the pro-
gram will be the finale to Haydn's
"Military Symphony."

The musicians who will play in the.
college trio and college quartet were
heard yesterday by Miss Dorothy
Home in competitive tryouts for the
six vacant places. The final selections
will be announced the first of next
week.

The trio which was heard frequently
at the Vesper service Sunday evenings
last year will continue again this year.
The pianist of that group did not re-
turn this fall, and the violinist, Ed
Brubaker, has been forced to discon-
tinue in trio because of other conflict-
ing activities. Erwin Ritzman, cellist,
will continue this year in the same
place in the trio that he had last year.

The quartet which is an entirely
new venture will contain two violin-
ists, one violist, and one pianist. As yet
the only engagement that they have is
that of playing at the Music Club for-
mal program later in the season; how-
ever, they are available at other times.

Hunter Addresses Y. M.

"Religion in Present Day Literature"
is the subject on which Dr. E R Hunter,
head of the English department, will
address the Y M C A at its meeting to-
morrow at one o'clock in Bartlett audi-
torium.

Special music will be furnished by
Edwin Goddard, vocalist. Others taking
part in the worship program are Erwin
Ritzman, William Swearingen, Edward
Brubaker and Frank Morrow.

Maryville Artists Series

By WALTER WEST

To the old students of Maryville
college, the Maryville College Artist
series, sponsored each year by the Y.
M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., will need no
introduction. But there are, perhaps,
new students here to whom the name
Artist Series means little as yet.

Started many years ago as the con-
ventional type Lyceum Series, with
illustrated lectures, Swiss bell ringers
and the like, it has graduated until
today, the Maryville series stands in
the fore-front of concert series in the
nation. Few institutions can boast
better numbers or a more balanced
program than Maryville's. On the stage
at Elizabeth R. Voorhees Chapel, have
appeared such stars as Dalies Frantz,
Robert Casadesus, Jose Iturbi, Kath-
erine Meisle, Albert Spaulding, Bartlett
and Robinson, and the Don Cossack
Russian Male Chorus.

The nights of Artist Series concerts
are great nights in Maryville life.

Among the students now in school,
there are few who did not thrill to the
singing of the Vienna Boys Choir and
many hearts beat a bit faster as those
twenty little Austrian boys sang the
"Star Spangled Banner" and "Dixie",
Another time, a packed house heard
Bohumir Kryl, noted conductor, play
his own composition "Carnival de
Venice", and called him back in a
storm of applause to play as an encore
"My Old Kentucky Home". And the
audience laughed and encored as
Helen Jepson sang the little English
ditty, "O Dear, What Can the Matter
Be?", and liked it so well that a year
later Anna Kaskas was requested to
sing the same number.

One wintry February evening, twelve
hundred people crowded into Voorhees
chapel to hear Josef Hofmann, one of
the world's greatest pianists. Julius
Huehn, Metropolitan baritone, sang for
three hours to a crowded house, and

Chooses "Pride and

Prejudice

The Maryville College Players, a
non-society dramatic organization,
selected its production for this year
last Thursday. They have chosen
"Pride and Prejudice.-' a play based on
the novel by Jane Austin and drama-
tized by Helen Jerome. It will be pre-
sented sometime in November.

"Pride and Prejudice" was one of the
major successes of the Broadway sea-
son of 1935-36. It was catalogued by
Burns and Mantel as one of the ten
best plays of that season.

The cast has not been selected, but
the production management is as fol-
lows: Lois Black, stage manager; Roy
Talmage, business manager; and Kath-
erine Warren, costumpr

The College Players is an organhft-
tio connocted with the dramatic arts
department. Each year it presents a
play independent of other organizations
on the hill. Last year It btgkft the col-
lege dramatic season with "The Pur-
ple Mask.''

Nothing can stop a man who has
faith in the final success of his plan.

The first meeting of the new seminar
in biology, for which only seniors
majoring in that subject are eligible,
was held Tuesday evening. Miss Susan

A. Green, head of the biology depart-
ment, discussed the plan of the course
and delivered a lecture describing the
remarkable structure found in micro-
scopic protozoa. Miss Green studied
this summer with Dr. Gary Calkins,
eminent protozoologist, at the Marine
Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massa-
chusetts.

Each member of the seminar will
deliver one twenty minute discussion
and two ten minute discussions at
different times during the semester.
The readers and topics for the rest of
October were announced at the meet-
ing. Next Tuesday Deane Brown will
discuss "Protozoon Parasites in Man''
and Don Stevens will prepare a paper
on "Soil Amoebae Coalesce to Form
Plasmodium''. The following week C.

B. Blair will deliver a talk on some
phase of vitamins, Clyde Powell will
report on "The Present Knowledge of
Infantile Paralysis", and Simpson
Spencer will present a paper discuss-
ing some phase of human physiology.
On October 26 Winford Ross will pre-
sent his findings regarding "The Health
Program of Blount County" and Roy
Talmnge will discuss his study of insect
galls.

Other faculty members participating
in the seminar are Professor Lyle L.
Williams and Mr. and Mrs. George
Brown. Senior biology majors not
mentioned above who are also to read
papers during the course are Marian
Lodwick, Evelyn Darragh, Jonnie
Lewis, Martha Watson, Ann Sligh,
Louise Orr, Zizmund Savitski,- Dernp
sey Vinsant, and Glen Evers.

Juniors, Seniors
Disagree on Plans
Of '38 Chilhowean

Seniors Reject Plan
Class Meeting On
Wednesday

At

By a vote of 66 to 14, the junior
class Wednesday voted its approval of
the tentative Chilhowean plan, which
appeared in full in last week's Echo.
At the same meeting Bruce Morgan
was elected editor of the 1938 year
book. Fifty-four juniors failed to
attend the meeting.

The senior class, at its meeting last
Wednesday, voted to reject the plan,
which calls for a $2000 annual on the
basis of 400 copies. A committee was
appointed by the class president, James
Proffitt, to investigate the possibility of
a more expensive year book.

At the class meeting held this morn-
ing at d period, the seniors voted
overwhelmingly to accept the plans for
the Chilhowean as printed . in last
week's Echo. Only four voted against
this proposition.

Professor Verton M. Queener pointed
out at the meeting that the present
plan would lower the total cost (for
seniors getting an annual) from almost
$12.00 to about $7.50. He stated also that
the quality and appearance of the book
depends more upon the staff than upon
the money available.

At a meeting of the executive coun-
cil of the faculty on Thursday, the
general Chilhowean plan as published
in last week's Echo was approved. It
was decided that the senior class
should meet this morning to consider
the matter further. Prof. Verton M.
Queener, of the publications com-
mittee, was asked to speak at the meet-
ing.

Bruce Morgan, junior, was elected by
his class to take the editor's position
left vacant by the failure of Henry
Swain to return to school this year.
Morgan had experience in writing
during his high school days, when he
did newspaper work. He is at present
a member of the Writers' workshop,
and has been on the honor roll every
semester. Last spring he won his letter
in track. Weldon Baird is business
manager of the Chilhowean.

Maryville Ranks High In Nation

By GEORGE L. HUNT

Freshmen! Do you realize what a
good school you go to? Well, to be
frank, neither did we until a pamphlet
from the Presbyterian Board of
Christian Education came into our
hands the other day. It seems the
Board has compiled a lot of statistics
about the Presbyterian colleges in this
country, and Maryville almost heads
the list.

For instance, did you know that
Maryville is the only Presbyterian
college that awards the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Home Econom-
ics? And aren't you glad to know that
it is the second most inexpensive Pres-
byterian college in the country? It is
topped only by Johnson C. Smith uni-
versity, in Charlotte, North Carolina,
and even then the margin is slight.

A companion fact is that it has the
largest enrollment ( 1936- 37) of any
Presbyterian college in the South and
west. In the whole country it is sur-

passed in this respect only by much
more expensive schools: Wooster, in
Ohio; and Lafayette and Grove City,
in Pennsylvania. And in annual in-
come, it is surpassed only by these
schools, Wilson college, in Chambers-
burg, Pennsylvania, and Beaver col-
lege, near Philadelphia.

Maryville is among the oldest Pres-
byterian colleges too. Tusculum, in
Greenville, Tennessee, is the only
southern Presbyterian college that is
older than this school, since it was
founded in 1794 and Dr. Anderson
started Maryville in 1810.

Two other interesting facts about
Maryville are revealed in this pam-
phlet. One is that of the eight hundred
and twenty nine students enrolled hero
last year, four hundred of them were
Presbyterians. And somebody also
took the trouble to count the books in
our library for the report, revealing
that we have 43,006 volumes in it

Dr. Stevenson

It was with regret we heard Tuesday that Dr. William
P. Stevenson would no longer conduct the Wednesday
morning chapel services. Dr. Stevenson has won many
friends by these services.

Knowing that Maryville needed a pastor but that
it could not afford to pay him a salary, Dr. Stevenson re-
signed his pastorate in Yonkers, New York, and volun-
teered his services. Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson came here in
1917, and last June celebrated their twentieth year at
Maryville.

When money was being raised for the Contennial fund
in 1919, Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson contributed $20,000. With
Mrs. John Walker, Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson joined in pro-
viding the endowment for the College cemetery.

But Maryville's deepest debt of gratitude is caused
*|jy the unselfish personal service of Dr. and Mrs. Steven-
son during their twenty years here.

We have all admired Dr. Stevenson for his genuiness,
orthodoxy, "unconquerable spirit, and ready wit. We
shall miss his sermons.

SOME OBSERVATIONS

We suppose there there are those who for their
own selfish ends purposely misconstrue the motives or
remarks of others.

We suppose that there are unthinking students who
tear important portions from books or periodicals in the
library, or deface other property in an equally unthinking
way.

We suppose that there are types of students known
familiarly as chronic gripers whose unwarranted belly-
achings reveal their poor taste and sour dispositions.

We suppose that there are those who continually
sponge from their classmates, depending upon them for
their needs, their notes, lessons— borrowers who waive
their obligations as casually as some countries their war
debt. * -

We suppose that there is another type of sponge, the
deadbeat who refuses to help his group but insists upon
its privileges, and who places heavier burden upon his
class or organization by failure to* pay dues.

We suppose that there are those whose narrow per-
spective of education causes them to overlook any extra-
curricular activities, those who never take advantage of
the opportunities provided by their activity fee.

We suppose that there are students who feel most
natural in flyblowing somebody else who for the moment
fails to agree with them on some given issue.

We suppose that there are killjoys who look upon
any freedom of the sexes as immoral; on the other hand,
those who confuse indecency with frankness, promiscous-
ness with modernity. <-■ -*

We suppose that there are know-it-alls who gripe to
other students, or hiding behind their anonymity, leave
deadcat notes to newspaper editors.

In fact, we know it

are willing to dethrone their intellectual accomplishments
when they marry and to make men their sole life work."
This interesting statement is a part of a revealing article
by Eudora Richardson entitled "Intelligent Husbands
Wanted" in the October FORUM. The author contends
that women have been placed by men "on pedestals both
unbecoming and uncomfortable". Defending the intellec-
tual woman Mrs. Richardson states that "The woman
who thinks deeply can also feel deeply".

IN THIS NOTEWORTHY ISSUE of an outstanding
magazine there are other articles worthy of the thought-
ful reader's attention. Try, for instance, "Must We Have
Sermons?'' and find Bruce Barton's conclusion. Or read
the unstated defense of Senator Black and the Ku Klux
Klan in Ben Cothran's article: "Ousting Judge Lynch" in
which he opposes anti-lynching bills. Try James Myers'
"Notes from the Diary of a Modern Circuit Rider" and
view the relation of the church to the labor situation in
Eastern Arkansas; Fairmont, West Virginia; Knoxville,
Tennessee; Cincinnati, Ohio; Bethlehem, Pennsylvania;
Tampa, Florida — the home towns of many of us.

EMIL LUDWIG, whose brilliant biography, THE NILE,
we have just finished, writes of Hitler's imitation of
Mussolini in "The Two Dictators". "Science Whispers of
Immorality'' is a searching article by Barclay Newman.
Not at all the least is Sutherland Deniinger's proof that
"LaGuardia Will Win." And, for those rural Southerners
who don't dream of conditions with which we urban Yan-
kees are familiar, turn back to the September issue and
read "Immorality in our Schools" by Geraldine Courtney.

OF ALL THE PERIODICALS worthwhile and other-
wise now in circulation we select TIME, READERS DI-
GEST, FORUM, SCRIBNER'S, LIFE, and ESQUIRE in
that order as being the best balanced periodical diet we
could choose. And for those who complain of being too
busy to read, (who are stating in reality that they are
too busy going to college to become educated) Polonius
read all of the articles in the October FORUM listed
above in the space of two vacant periods the other morn-
ing- . . , ,

News item: "Athenian sponsors girls-we-left-behind
beauty contest. Enter your home-town favorite now." And
here is your precocioKis correspondent with red-hot
flashes of the contest's progress to date:

Number 134 — , classified as type ZQ6, an entry of
Rinford Woss, was leading the field with scattered returns
available. 134 — is a charming young thing with a solid
tinorium frame and plush back.

Close behind 134—, however, is No. 83x, of type KY6
classification, submitted by Cill Bollins. Bollins admits
that 93x is handicapped by a cardboard back, but thinks
her 10-strand platinum wire for hanging will pull her in
ahead of Woss, 134J, when the final votes are tabulated.

A black horse may upset the current favorites, how-
ever. Ston Deven's entry, Number 265H, classified as type
QY2, has been climbing steadily toward the leaders dur-
Ung the day's balloting. Devens denies that his position as
guardian of the ballot box has anything to do with 265H's
surprising rally. To quote Mr. Devens: "What ballot box?"

An entry of Muce Brorgan's was outlawed by the
committee on the following grounds: a — Brorgan had never
seen the lady off the screen; b — ten other men submitted
the same girl; c— everybody knew Brorgan never knew
a good-looker like that.

And believe me, no description could do justice to the
luscious sweets for sale at the college Y store. There's the

Miss Rich Supervises ,
Drawing and Painting
Work in Art Department

By specializing in drawing and paint-
ing, the art department of the college
began its studio courses Monday, under
the supervision of Miss Frances Rich,
graduate of the Museum School of Fine
Arts, Boston, Massachusetts. It is
hoped that after the art students have
painted still life pictures for a while,
they will draw portraits with fellow
students acting as models.

Color theory and design are the alms
for the second semester with students
becoming thoroughly familiar with
color especially. Within a few years

e art courses will most likely be so
built that a major will be offered in
these subjects.

Colbert to Conduct
Music Clinics Soon
For Voice Students

One of the newest methods of teach-
ing music will be started soon, accord-
ing to Ralph R. Colbert, instructor in
music. The new method is that of
the music clinic, which has proven very
successful in a number of schools.

The clinic will be conducted at the
present exclusively for voice students.
All voice students taking lessons from
Mr. Colbert will meet regularly to hear
each other sing and to receive criti-
cisms from the instructors. Mr. Colbert
believes that the clinic will give the
students experience in singing before
audiences as well as help them dis-
cover flaws in technique and phrasing.

The social committee planned the
first formal dinner of the year last
Wednesday evening in Pearsons hall.
The dining room was attractively deco-
rated in the college colors, orange and

This dinner marked the initial ap-
pearance of Mr. Ralph Colbert's Jazz
band, which played several popular
pieces. Ruth Woods and Russell Hirsh,
accompanied by Louise Felknor and
GeTald Beaver, sang solos. One of
Hirsch's songs was "Goodnight My

THE SPORTS EDITOR

MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE

Last night's grid performances was in our humble opinion almost as
dismal as the weather is today.

It seems the Scots adopted a cat-canary attitude toward the heretofore-
clawless Tigers. If that be the case, then they probably won't make the same
mistake again. Hiwassee showed all that could be expected of a junior college
of less than 200 enrollment and then some.

Their pony backfield, featuring the pugnacious Sanderson boys, generated
' more offensive power in the first half than did the Highlander backs. They
showed in Smith a punter that continually had the Scots in hot water.

That element, more than any other one thing except Maryville's mental
attitude, prevented any first half offensive on the part of the Scots. Smith's
kicks, the long end-over-end variety, were continually fooling the safety men
and forcing a too-careful handling of all Hiwassee's kicks.

Credit and blame for a somewhat lax performance by the Highlanders
should be evenly divided between said Highlanders and the sadly under-rated
Tigers, who showed why they gave the Carson-Newman Eagles such an un-
expected fit.

That twelve point margin isn't so bad, maybe. We are just used to seeing
little Hiwassee trampled by five or sixtouchdowns. If they are able to snap
out of it once in a while, more power to them.

Then, too, just think for a moment what might have been. If Hughes
had not made that tackle on the twelve yard line after a forty yard pass had
almost tied the score, and if the same Hughes had not intercepted another
Tiger pass and converted it into a 93-yard touchdown jaunt ?

GONE COMMERCIAL?

Had you noticed the rather bizarre canvas covering which has been set
up on the end of the student section of the Wilson Field bleachers? It bears
an inscription, amply illustrated, something like this: "See the world's champion
lady whip cracker."

Who would have dared to think it? Cheap exhibitionism!

INTRA MURAL
ITEMS

By ROY TALMAGE

Fellows! Meet Gene Orr, member of
the Y. M? C. A; Athletic committee
replacing Russ Stevenson.

Juniors: Greet Bruce Morgan, newly
elected class athletic director replac-
ing Gene Orr.

Tennis

The undaunted Maryville spirit has
been shown time and again on the
tennis courts the past few weeks: We
speak especially of Ted Gillingham,
who afra^taping two straight sets in
the fina^ewe back to win three and
make it ; tyo consecutive, years as
tennis steglew-.^mpion; but we can't
help buttadil^e the pluck of Sopho-
more John Fisher, who played two
matches off in one afternoon and came
away smiling despite the fact that he
hadn't won a single game.

The athletic committee wishes to
acknowledge the co-operation given
them this fall in their tennis program.
Never before, to our knowledge, has
the fall tournament run off so smooth-
ly, even our constant companion, old
man rain, cooperated with us until it
came time to play off the finals— but
that's another story. The committee
would also like to show its apprecia-
tion to these students, not participat-
ing in the tournaments, who have so
willingly given up the courts for the
use of those playing off matches.
Doubles Tournament

This is the first time in several years
that a doubles tournament has been
attempted; its up to us to make it a
success. Lets take advantage of the
breaks the weather gives us and try to
get it completed. Speaking of the tour-
nament, we wonder what would hap-

pen if Dr. Lloyd and Van Cise were to
defeat Gillingham and Marrow? And
would we like to see that match be-
tween Fischbach-Kosloski and Colom-
bo-Augustine. Yes, sir, there is plenty
of excitement awaiting us in that
tournament!

How can we talk of tennis when
football is in the air? Already Dave
Woodring is to be seen warming up on
the sidelines. Everything seems to point
to great games ahead. With last year's
overwhelming seniors out of the way,
who is going to take their place? The
writer makes no predictions as to the
outcome, but keep an eye on those
Juniors. We might even be persuaded
to place a bet on the Seniors if and
when their team becomes composed of
eleven men instead of six. In six-man
football out? We leave .it up to you. If
enough of you show sufficient enthu-
siasm in response to your athletic
director's call next week, this year's
battlefield will be arrayed with the
customary number of men; if not,
then?

Remember! Football begins a Week
from Monday. Watch the bulletin
board for your class notices.

Milligan Offers
Test of Scots'
Chances in SMC

Lead Strong Array
Conference Foes

of

One of the most attractive sport
dishes to be served up for local en-
joyment this season will be presented
on Wilson Field Friday night when the
Milligan Buffaloes come to town.

The Highlanders will be well pleased
if they are able to repeat last year's
7-6 win, garnered by virtue of Jack
Overley's placekick for the extra point
at Johnson City. Incidentally, the
Scots' lack of a dependable extra point
converter may cause trouble, though
Junior Odell's toe should do the op-
position lots of damage before the sea-
son ends.

Odell and Jim Etheredge are in for a
full evening if the Buffs 1936 perfor-
mance is any indication of their pre-
sent mode of attack. They really make
life miserable for the defensive ends
when they turn loose such backs as
all-conference Bob Sturgill.

Milligan's 1937 record already bears
a blot in the 20-0 licking absorbed
from King last week. But even that
fact doesn't offer any great amount of
comfort, because, according to our
most reliable information, King comes
mighty close to being the class of the
Smoky Mountain circuit.

Gillingham Grabs
Five-set Battle
For Net Trophy

Morrow's Lead Overcome
In Finals

For the second straight year Ted
Gillingham defeated Frank Morrow
Wednesday in the finals of the fall
tennis tournament to win the cup as
champion of the college. The match
went to five sets, 3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 8-6,
6-2.

The match began last Saturday with
Morrow winning the first two sets
fairly easily. Then Gillingham came
back in the third set to win 6-3 and
when the games had to be stopped be-
cause of rain the score was tied at
8-8 with Morrow needing only two
more games to win the match. Rain in
the early part of the week prevented
the completion of the match until
Wednesday afternoon. Then a new set
was begun, instead of finishing the
one tied at 8-8 and Gillingham won
8-6. He breezed through the last set
comparatively easily to win, 6-2.

On Thursday of last week Gilling-
ham and Morrow reached the finals by
defeating Keith Augenstein and Russ
Colombo. Gillingham won 6-3, 7-5, 12-
10, and Morrow won over Colombo
6-3, 6-1, 2-6, 7-5. •

To gain the semi-finals Gillingham
defeated McCammon, Augenstein beat
Czepial, Colombo won over Morgan
and Morrow defeated Lloyd. All four
of the semi-finalists were seeded
players, and three of the four played
numbers one, two, and three on the
tennis team last fall.

Sophs Suffer 5-0
Tennis Defeat By
Frosh Racketmen

Freshman-Junior Final
Is Forecast

The freshmen tennis team defeated
the sophomores 5-0 on the college
tennis courts last Thursday afternoon
winning all of the matches compara-
tively easily.

McCammon, Number one freshman
beat Stevenson; Akana defeated Fish-
er; Lloyd won over Born; Talmage
beat Etheredge; and the doubles com-
bination of Akana and Talmage beat
Stevenson and Etheredge.

This is the first year that a tourna-
ment of this kind has been planned and
it is arranged so that every class team
will play every other class team twice.

The freshmen team and the juniors
with Van Cise, Morgan, Czepial, and
Proctor are highly favored over any of
the other teams to win the tourna-
ment. The deciding match will likely
be played next Saturday when the
juniors and freshmen clash. This
afternoon the seniors play the fresh-
men and the sophomores meet the
juniors.

Third Quarter Drive Gives Scots

12-0 Victory Over Improved Tigers

Intercepted Pass by Hughes Brings Second Score

After Dull First Half

By WARREN ASHBY

After being held scoreless in the first O'dell didn't get his chance to boot the
half by a lighter but faster Hiwassee ball.

college team last evening the Scotties
opened up in the third quarter to score
two touchdowns and to win the second
home game of the season. 12-0.

It was Maryville all through the last
half, especially the third quarter, and
it was J. D. Hughes, freshman back, at
the same time. After playing a better
offensive game than is usually seen on
the Maryville gridiron, Hughes in that
scoring quarter intercepted a Hiwassee
pass on his own three yard stripe and
ran the length of the field, behind
what perfect interference was neded,
to complete the longest run so far this
year and to score the second High-
lander touchdown.

The Scots got off to a poor start dur-
ing the first few minutes of play and
neither team seriously threatened to
cross the others goal throughout the
first half. Odell kicked off to the
Tigers twenty yard line and on the

ended.

On the first play of the final quarter
Burris made a first down and then
Hughes followed this with a fifteen
yard run to place the ball on the Scot's
45. After an incomplete pass Maryville
punted to the Hiwassee twenty yard
line. Maryville was penalized fifteen
yards and then Taylor threw Hiwassee
for a ten yard loss. Hiwassee was
penalized on the next play and then
they punted to Burrris on his own 18.

Hughes made a first down and Mary-
ville was again penalized fifteen yards
for holding. The remainder of the
quarter was more or less of a punt-
ing duel and the play ended in mid-
field just after Burris had made
another first down.

Although the Scots were highly
favored over the Hiwassee team last
evening it took just about all they had
to score those two markers and for a
short while in the first half it seemed
that the visitors might pull another up-

Hiwassee, put Maryville on the spot by
quick-kicking to their ten yard marker.
Odell punted out of danger and for the
rest of the quarter play see sawed
back and forth with Maryville attempt-
ing four passes, none of them clicking.

In the second quarter Morton fum-
bled on the Maryville 28 yard line and
it was recovered by Hiwassee. But on |
two successive plays Jim Proffitt, I
alternate captain, threw the Hiwassee
backs for a total loss of twenty-two I
yards. The half ended after Hiwassee
had been thrown for another twelve
yard loss.

The Highlanders came out with re-
newed spirit in the third quarter to
score the two touchdowns. Maryville
kicked over the goal line and play was
resumed on the twenty yard line.
Hiwassee punted to mid-field and after
two running plays Burris carried the
ball over fbr a first down to the
Hiwassee 38 yard line. Morton made a
good run of fifteen yards for another
first down and Hughes picked up five
through the line.

On the next play the Scotties com-
pleted the first pass of the game to the
one yard marker, with Hughes tossing
and Etheridge on the receiving end.
After three unsuccessful plunges
through the line, two by Burris and
one by Hughes, the ball was put right
on the goal line. Then on the fourth
attempt Hughes carried it over for the
first score of the game. Odell's attempt
via placement for the extra point was
wide.

Odell kicked off again, this time to
the Hiwassee twenty-five stripe. And
it was Hughes, playing a fine defensive
game as well as offensive, who made
the tackle. Later in the third quarter,

Several changes have been made in
football rules this season. Among the
most important changes:

1. The goal posts were moved back
from the goal line to the end line, thus
leaving the playing field the same
length and the goal line the same as
heretofore but putting the goal posts
ten yards back of the goal line.

2. On all shift plays all players must
come to a full stop and remain motion-
less for one full second. This has al-
most completely done away with the
shift play.

3. Any backward pass, other than
one from the center, which strikes the
ground is a dead ball and is put in
play by the side making the pass, at
the spot where the ball hit the ground.
Heretofore it was a free ball and might

be recovered by either team.

Frosh Keeps Door Locked Now

By GEORGE L. HUNT

Richard Olewiler keeps his door
locked now.

It all happened like this:

Dick and two roommates, Dale
Matthias and Harold Dysart, live in a
large corner room on the fourth floor
of Carnegie hall. A few doors up, on
the other side of the hall, lives Bill
Mooney. One night last week, Dick left
the door to his room unlocked for
roommate Matthias and went to bed. It
was late, and lights were out. Dick was
just going off to sleep, when he heard
the door open. Then he felt someone
get in bed with him. Thinking it was
Dale in a prankish mood, he told him
to get in his own bed. But there was
no answer. So Dick, being too tired to
bother ejecting his bedfellow by force,
started to go back to sleep. But just
when he was dozing off again, he heard
the door open a second time. This
woke him up, and he looked out of his
bed to see roommate Dale standing by
the desk. But there was still a large

form beside him in the bed!

Now Dick is an impressionable fresh-
man, and he didn't like this newest
Maryville custom. So he shouted to
Harold in the top bed and Dale in the
middle of the room, but to no avail.
Whoever it was that was sleeping there,
he did not awake. So the three room-
mates forcibly pushed the person out
of the room and locked the door.

Where does Bill Mooney come in?
Well, if one wanted to be facetious, he
could say wherever the spirit moves
him. For young Willie is an unfortu-
nate sonambulator — or sleep-walker,
if you must know. All his life he has
been subject to midnight prowlings,
but this was the first time he had
succumbed since coming to Maryville.
And just when he had no roommate
to guide him! It was a sad case, but,
as Bill remarks, it has its compensa-
tions. Suppose, for instance, that it had
happened in a hotel?

But Richard Olewiler keeps his door
locked now.

Artists Series

(Continued from page one) „
rendition of the "Toreador Song" fjam
Bizet's "Carmen" will always be one
of the high lights of the Maryville
College Artist series.

And this year will be no exception.
Once more, Professor George Howell,
chairman of the Artist Series com-
mittee, has secured three famed artists
for concerts. Near the middle of
November, Moritz Rosenthal, Polish
pianist, will appear before the Mary-
ville audience. Rosenthal, the last liv-
ing pupil of Franz Liszt, was once court
pianist to the king of Roumania and the
emperor of the Austro-Hungarian
empire. Last year, on his first tour of
America in ten years, the seventy-four
year old artist won nationwide acclaim
in concerts from New York to Los
Angeles and from Boston to St. Louis.
Many will recall his appearance as
guest artist on the General Motors
Symphony program last winter over
the NBC network.

Orlando Barera, youthful Italian
violinist, came to America last winter
for his first appearance in the new
world. After his first concert in New
York's Carnegie Hall, critics acclaimed
him as one of the greatest violinists
of all time, ranking with Spaulding and
Kreisler. So well received was he that
he was called back for a second per-
formance in Carnegie Hall the same
season — an unusual distinction for any
artist. He returns to America once
more and one of his first appearances
will be on Voorhees stage, sometime in
January.

Two years ago, in Soldiers Field in
Chicago, a young American baritone
sang to one hundred thousand people.
For four consecutive years the same
baritone voice has thrilled crowds
averaging forty-five thousand in
Forbes Field, Pittsburg. In February,
that same voice — the voice of John
Charles Thomas, of the Metropolitan
opera — will be heard in Voorhees
chapel. Widely heralded as the "Aris-
tocrat of Singers", John Charles
Thomas opened the current series of
Ford Sunday Evening hours as guest
singer.

Those representing the Y. M. C. A.
and the Y. W. C. A. in presenting the
Maryville College Artist series are
already hard at work filling orders.
Don't miss any of these concerts.

Maryville Ranks High

(Continued from page one)
There are also some interesting notes
about Presbyterian colleges in general
which the Board passed on to us. There
are fifty-four colleges, universities, and
academies under the jurisdiction of the
Board. Twenty of them are approved
by the Association of American uni-
versities, and forty-two are sanctioned
by the American Medical Association,
Maryville, of course, is in both these
groups.

There are twenty-one thousand
students enrolled in Presbyterian col-
leges, and eight thousand of them are
Presbyterians. In the matter of equip-
ment and supplies, Hamilton college,
in Clinton, N. Y., heads the list, being
the most heavily endowed, containing
the most expensive equipment, and
having the largest library.

was called back for nine encores. His
longest pass of the game for forty yards
to the Maryville 15 yard line. Again it
was Hughes who saved the night for
the Highlanders, by making a beauti-
ful tackle, when such a tackle seemed
impossible.

The Hiwassee eleven attempted three
running plays for no gain and it was
the next play that Hughes intercepted
the Hiwassee pass on Maryville's three
yard marker, to make the longest run
of the game and to score the next six
points. On the attempt for the extra
point the pass from center was bad and
set. because of their speed. It was
heads-up football all the way through
for both teams and the light Hiwassee
team put up a game fight.

Etheredge and Burris both played
their usual outstanding game but both
of these lettermen, and the playing of
all the other lettermen, was over-
shadowed by a freshman who should
go far in the football circles-none
other than J. D. Hughes. If his playing
keeps up for the remainder of the sea-
son, plus the playing of the remainder
of the team, perhaps the Scotties will
be on the way towards another Smoky
Mountain conference championship.

Morgan Announces
Chilhowean Plans
And Names Staff

Definite Saving in Price

Of Annual Planned

By Committee

Bruce Morgan, Chilhowean editor,
announces that plans for the 1938
Chilhowean have been approved and
are in progress.

The officers of the four classes, the
student council officers, Weldon Baird,
Chilhowean business manager, and
Bruce Morgan, editor, met Wednesday
evening with Professor Verton M.
Queener to discuss plans and to
arrange for raising a one-hundred-
dollar deposit by both the senior and
junior classes. Each class member is
to pay a one-dollar deposit, which will
be returned at the end of the year.

Including the one-dollar deposit, two
dollars for class dues, a dollar-fifty for
each picture, and four dollars for the
Chilhowean, the estimated total cost for
seniors will be about eight dollars and
fifty cents, or about seven thirty-five
if last year's picture is used. The cost
last year was approximately eleven
dollars. Juniors, with class dues a
dollar, will pay seven-fifty.

The present contract with Benson
Printing Co. at Nashville will probably
be torn up and a new one made.

Besides Bruce Morgan and Weldon
Baird other staff members are Helen
Bobo, associate editor; Fred Rhody.
athletic editor; Kenneth Van Cise,
photographic editor; George Felknor,
subscription editor; Arlene Phelps, art
editor; and Etta Culbertson, club
editor. Other associate editors and the
assistant business managers will be
•elected later.

Faculty Gives
Several Rules
For Initiations

The faculty has released the follow-
ing rules to govern initiations:

1. No organization is to conduct any
initiation which has not been approved
in detail by the faculty sponsor of the
organization, or, if there is no direct
sponsor, without approval of either the
Supervisor of Men's Residence or the
Supervisor of Women's Residence.

2. All initiation ceremonies must be
completed at, in, or during one regular
closed meeting. They cannot extend
over a period of days.

3. All hazing (any act which might
possibly result in physical injury) is
forbidden.

4. Initiates are not to carry out in
public (i. e., outside of the organiza-
tion's own meetings) any instructions
designed to embarrass or humiliate
them.

This is published because evidently
some student organizations of last year
did not understand these regulations.
If every group complies with paragraph
No. 1, above, there should be no diffi-
culty this year.

Fifth Founders'
Day to be Oct. 30

Addresses to be Given
Maryville's First
Teachers

on

President Ralph Lloyd released re-
cently the plans for the fifth annual
Founders day to be observed October
30. The program will be held in Voor-
hees chapel and will feature a choral
composition by Mr. Ralph Colbert,
director of the vesper choir, and add-
resses by two relatives of men whose
lives and work in the interest of the
college will be commemorated by the
Service.

The speakers are Paul W. Terry, M.
A., Ph. D., professor at the University
of Alabama, whose great grandfather,
the Rev. William Eagleton, worked
with Dr. Isaac Anderson as the first
teacher at Maryville college; and the
Rev. Darius Hoyt, was the second
member of the college faculty.

The Colbert composition is the
twenty-ninth psalm set to music, and
is to be dedicated to Dr. and Mrs. Will-
iam Patton Steveson.

Arrangements for Program

Are Made by Alumni

Association

A campaign has been inaugurated to
secure money to purchase a fifteen
hundred dollar Hammond Organ for
the Chapel. This will make possible the
offering of lessons in pipe organ, and
will also supply an organ for the
chapel services.

Several persons have expressed the
opinion that the money could be raised,
and also a willingness to contribute
if the fund were started. Mrs. R. W.
Lloyd will act as chairman.

Mrs. Carl Michel (Edna Dawson 16)
of Kansas City, Kan., was the first
donor, and gifts from Mrs. John Walker
of Morningside and Dr. Lloyd have
given the fund a splendid start. It is
hoped that many people, including
faculty and students will wish to have
a part in this needed addition.

Gifts or pledges may be given to
Miss Katherine Davis of the Fine
Arts department, or Edward Brubaker
and Harriet Barber of the student
body.

It has been hoped that the organ
might be installed by Christmas.

30 Freshmen Try For

Debate Under Queener

Miss Ethel Davis, sister of Dr. E. W.
Davis, head of the foreign language
department has been secured for part-
time service as an, instructor in piano.
She began her duties last week.

Miss Davis received training in j,lano
and organ at Missouri Valley college,
from which she holds the Bachelor of
Music degree; under Ernest Kroeger
of St. Louis; at the New England
Conservatory of Music; the American
Guild of*Organists, and she holds the
degree of Associate of the American
Guild of Organists.

In addition to a number of years of
private teaching, Miss Davis has
taught piano and harmony at her Alma
Mater, Missouri Valley college, for
eight years, and at Wilson college,
Pennsylvania, for four years. Also she
has had considerable experience as a
church organist and for five summers
was an accompanist in Chautauqua
work.

Mrs. Snyder Returns

Mrs. Grace Pope Snyder, supervisor
of women's residence, returned Tues-
day morning from her home in Cham-
paigne, Illinois, after a week's visit
•with her mother, who is seriously ill.
Her condition is slightly improved.

Thirty freshmen are now enrolled in
Professor Verton M. Queener's fresh-
man debate classes. This number will
be reduced to about twenty within the
next week by means of competitive
speeches. At the end of the first semes-
ter tryouts will be held, and eight de-
baters will be selected to compose the
squad for the second semester.

Plans are under way for another
Freshman Debate tournament to be
held at Maryville in the spring. This
tournament was organized and held for
the first time at Maryville last year
under the direction of Professor
Queener. This year the tournament will
be enlarged, and freshman teams from
outstanding colleges in Kentucky and
Virginia, as well as Tennessee, will be
invited to participate.

A large number of Maryville alumni
will return to the college next Friday
to observe the annual Homecoming
day. Contrary to the announcement in
the college catalog, Dr. Ralph W. Lloyd
stated this week that Homecoming day
and Founders' day will be observed
separately, next Friday and Saturday,
respectively.

Mr. Joe Gamble, prominent local
lawyer and president of the Alumni
association, is in charge of the arrange-
ments for the day. Miss Geneva And-
erson is vice-president of the associa-
tion and Mrs. Sara Moore Traylor is
recording secretary. Miss Nancy Hun-
ter is the acting executive secretary at
the college.

The program for the returning alum-
ni will begin as in past years with re-
gistration in the Alumni gymnasium at
five o'clock Friday afternoon. The
group will assemble at five-thirty at
the barbecue pits which will be dug at
the west end of the baseball diamond,
for an old-fashioned barbecue supper.
Mr. Gamble is in charge of a brief pro-
gram of entertainment to be held in
the gymnasium following the supper.
The entire group will assemble again
at their section of the stands on Wil-
son field at seven-thirty for the Home-
coming football game with Cumberland
university.

Because of the coincidence of Home-
coming with the annual meetings in
Knoxville of the East Tennessee Ed-
ucation society, an unusually large
number of alumni is expected to re-
turn. More than a hundred graduates
of Maryville college hold teaching posi-
tions in the eastern part of Tennessee.

McClelland Assumes Duties
Of Director Of Personnel

At a business meeting of the Theta
Alpha Phi, honorary dramatic fratern-
ity, held October 8, a brief outilen of
the work for the year was passed on
by the members, according to an an-
nouncement by Edward Brubaker,
president.

It was decided to have a combined
meeting of the four literary society
committees for the mid-wkiters. The
purpose of this combined meeting will
be to solve the misunderstandings con-
cerning the societies' plays, and to pre-
sent to the committee facts about the
Theta Alpha Phi cup, presented to the
society with the best mid-winter. The
committee will be informed as to
what the judgment is based upon, and
information concerning the selection of
the plays and the selection of the cast
will be given.

Theta Alpha Phi also plans to make
out a list of suggestions for the benefit
of the critics and judges of the mid-
winters. The fraternity will present
several one-act plays during the year.

Answers were received as to the
vote on the type of plays that the stu-
dents desire most. The trend seems to
be in the direction of modern instead
of historical plays, and so it is doubt-
ful that any of the historical type will
be produced this year. The trend also
seems to be in the direction of com-
edies, preferably modern.

Fireman's Job Keeps Him Always Busy

By OTTO PFLANZE

Ask students what the most impor-
tant spot on the campus is and you'll
get a variety of answers. Some will
say the library; the more practical will
say the treasurer's office; while the
more romantic will tell you it's any
place where there happens to be a
convenient bench. But they're all
wrong, for the most important place
on the campus is that low brick build-
ing in the middle of the campus known
as the college heating plant.

I ventured down into the gloomy pit
beneath that peaked grey roof last
week and interviewed the chief fire-
man, Tom Hutsell. Tom's job is the
dirtiest, the most back-breaking on the
campus. Ten hours a day he travels
back and forth in front of a row of
four fire doors. His shovel bites into
the pile of coal, and with a practiced.

rhythmical swing he sends the lumps
flying into the flames. On an average
of every three minutes he goes down
that row and stokes the fires. On the
coldest days of the year Tom says he
does it oftener than that. He no sooner
gets through with the last door when
the first one demands attention again.
On such days Tom shovels from five
to six tons of coal into the fire.

Tom does his job so well that the
complaints are few and far between.
Mrs. Queener, college athletic instruc-
tor, told him one day that the gym was
too cold for her classes. Next day she
came back to inform him that he was
overdoing it somewhat. One of the
girls in her class had fainted. On
another occasion one of Tom's assis-
tants unknowingly shut off the heat
to Carnegie. That night the weather
turned extremely cold, and Carnegie

was like an ice box. Mr. "Mac" came
down the next morning and drawled
good naturedly, "Urn, I think we'll save
now, Tom. You can give us a little
heat."

Accidents happen once in a while
down there. One day about two years
ago Tom climbed up on top of one of
the huge boilers to make an adjust-
ment. He was standing on the edge of
the boiler with the open pit in front
of him and a complicated joji&le of
pipes, gauges, and valves at his back,
a check valve on which he was work-
ing suddenly came loose. The scalding
steam came rushing up into his face.
Tom found he must either jump for-
ward into the pit some twenty feet
below or go back over the pipes. He
chose the latter. With his hands pro-
tecting his badly burned face he climb-

The Medical Aptitude Tests as ad-
ministered for the past seven years by
the Association of American Medical
Colleges has been scheduled for De-
cember 3 and all students planning to
take the test must register by Novem-
ber 5, according to an announcement
by Dr. E. R. Hunter, director of curri-
culum.

Each year these tests are given to
the pre-medical students in the un-
dergraduate colleges of the United
States and now the test is one of the
normal requirements for admission to
medical schools. All those planning to
enter the medical school in 1938 should
plan to take the test on December 3.
However, it is not necessary to have
all of the entrance requirements for
the medical college finished at that
time.

Last year eighteen students in Mary-
ville college took the tests. They were
taken by 10,853 students in 627 different
colleges.

Recent Issues of Two
Publications Contain
Stories on Maid Shop

Two articles about the Maryville
College Maid Shop have appeared in
recent issues of two magazines publi-
shed by the Publication Department
of the Board of Christian Education of
the Presbyterian Church. Both articles
are accompanied by pictures of the
maid shop and some of the girls who
work there.

On the cover of "Forward" of Oct-
ober 9, is a picture of Thaw Hall with
a group of students on the steps.

"College Maids" by Grace Miller in
the same magazine tells the story of
the origin and work of the maid shop.
The pictures and part of the articles
stress the fact that some of the most
influential women of the college may
be found working in the maid shop.

"College Mades by College Maids"
is the title of the article in "Pageant, A
Preview". The same pictures as those
in "Forward" are found here, but the
content is not the same. This shows
how Maryville finds jobs for its stu-
dents and markets for the goods they
make, tells the methods of advertising
for College Maid, and the number of
places which order from them.

Plays For Midwinters

Considered by Societies

Though no definite decision has been
made concerning the selection of a
play for the two Midwinters to be
given jointly by Bainonian-Athenian
and Theta- Alpha Sig Literary societies,
several are under consideration.

Among those suggested for the
Bamoman — Athenian Midwinter are
"The Fool" by Channing Pollock:
"Quality Street" by Sir James Barrie,
a recent vehicle starring Katharine
Hepburn and Franchot Tone; and the
two Broadway productions, "Red Har-
vest", and "First Lady."

Alpha Sigma and Theta Epsilon are
considering Massingham MacDonald's
"The Lake," an English drama which
has just recently been released.

New Faculty Addition Will

Also be Manager of

Bookstore

Dr. Frank D. McClelland, prominent
young educator and former Maryville
college student arrived last week to
assume his new duties as Director of
Personnel and manager of the book
store. Dr. McClelland comes to Mary-
ville from Pikeville Junior college,
Pikeville, Kentucky, of which he has
been president for the past five years.

He holds an A. B. degree from Grove
City college where he graduated in
1921, the degree of Master of Science,
and an honorary Doctor of Laws from
his Alma Mater conferred in 1936. His
freshman and sophomore years were
spent at Maryville, but were interrup-
ted by the World was, at the termina-
tion of which he matriculated in Grove
City, his family having moved to
Pennsylvania in his absence. After
graduating he was for two years prin-
cipal of the Plain Grove high school,
Pennsylvania, and for the next 14
years, successively instructor in
science, dean, head of the department
of chemistry, and president of Pike-
ville college.

Dr. McClelland is interested in
various activities. He is a member of
the Rotary club, the American legion,
and the Junior College Testing Com-
mittee of Kentucky. He has been an
elder and the clerk of session in the
First Presbyterian church of Pikeville.
He also writes concerning his varied
interests, an article on "Education
Progress," in the Louisville "Courier
Journal," several in the laymen's
series of Sunday School lessons in the
Louisville "Herald", and articles in the
"Journal of Chemical Education", be-
ing among his most recent publications.

Dr. McClelland has distinguished
himself in every field in which he has
been engaged. While an undergraduate
at Grove City he was manager of the
College annual, editor-in-chief of the
student weekly, member of the debat-
ing team and the Y. M. C. A. cabinet,
commencement orator, and president
of the senior class.

During the war, he enlisted for two
years in the United States Marines, a
year and a half of which was spent in
France. He saw front line service at
Verdun, Balleau Wood, St. Mihiel,
Champagne, and Argonne, and was
cited for gallantry in action. He rose
from the ranks of a commissioned office,
serving as corporal, sergeant, platoon
leader, and commissioned second lieu-
tenant at Rheinbrahl, Germany, and
remained with the army of Occupation
until his return to the United States in
May, 1919.

THE 1938
CHILHOWEAN

There has been much discussion this year as to
whether Maryville would continue publishing its Chilho-
wean. After many committee and class meetings, it has
been decided to put out a yearbook on a new plan.

A deposit of $200 is to put up jointly by the two
upper classes. A written agreement between the junior
class, and the business manager and editor, holds the
latter accountable to the class. The class agrees to pay
the editor and business manager the sum of $100 each,
after all obligations have been met, whether or not a
profit results from the publication.

The book is to cost not more than $2000, on the
basis of 400 copies. Last year's book cost about $3600. The
difference in cost has led some to think that a good annual
cannot be published at that price.

One senior who doesn't want a book and apparently
doesn't want anyone else to have one, made the specious
statement that the '38 yearbook will "cost half as much
and be twice as expensive as last year's book", whatever
that means.

One of the most important changes in the new system
is that those who receive yearbooks will be the ones who
will pay for the publication. That has not been the case
before this year. Formerly, about 700 or 800 students paid
a large part of the expenses, but only about 400 received
books. Most of the class dues went toward the Chilhowean.

Now, the senior class dues have been cut from eight
dollars a year to two dollars, and the other class dues
have also been cut considerably. Only a small part of the
money obtained by dues will be used for the book. The
cost of individual pictures will be paid for by the four
dollar purchase price and not by the class.

We take issue with those who say that the proposed
book will look like a theism syllabus with a picture or
two of the campus in it. Of course the book will be
somewhat smaller, but with good management, this year's
Chilhowean should be a book of which we can be proud.
O

Two Hundred
Dollar Deposit

In order to publish a Chilhowean this year, a deposit
of two hundred dollars, ten percent of the total cost of
the book, must first be made. It was agreed by the two
upper classes that each would put up half of this amount.

The dollar deposit that is being asked of each upper-
classman is not a part of his dues or a down payment on
his book. It is a deposit that will be returned to him,
except in one case of a deficit, at the end of the college
year.

Someone will be around to ree each junior and
senior. You voted to raise this money. Now give your
share.

Remember that if this deposit is not made by Novem-
ber 2, the plans for publishing a Chilhowean will be
dropped, and for the first time in thirty-two years,
Maryville will not have a yearbook.

Members of Fine Arts

Faculty Give Recital

Dafftniiions

FROM HARPER'S HARP

If, unknown to anybody but yourself, you could press

a mysterious button which would cause the death of a
solitary Chinese peasant and thereby receive ten million
dollars, would you do it? Consider first the fact that
Christian ethics forbids murder. Consider then the number
of lives that could be saved by the use of that money for
flood control, hospitals, food and clothing, education. What
is your answer?

Now confuse yourself with this. Would you be willing
for someone to press a button which would cause you to
die tonight, if by that sacrifice the one you love most
would receive ten million dollars to be used however that
person saw fit? Answer the first problem alone, then work
the second. The problems are old, but your answer to
them is more significant to yourself than you think.
— M. C. —

Someday some young scholar will get a Ph. D. in
psychology for making a study of the relation of intelli-
gence, achievement, and contentment of adults to the use
of their leisure time in their college days. To see intelli-
gent looking college women go down day after day to
spend the afternoon in the booth of a drug store doing
absolutely nothing is really amazing to the busy student.
What the conversation of people who read no books, no
magazines, find no time for studying, who are bored by
their classes and their classmates, is hard to imagine.
College men have, for the most part, been so ridiculed as
"drugstore cowboys" that they no longer loiter in public.
Whether the Maryville "drugstore dolittle" is a passing
fad similar to the light-headed flapper of a decade ago or
not, it is certain that she is her blood relation.

Evan Renne Wins Honors
At Princeton Seminary

We feel quite proletarian today. A sob escapes our
lips and our eyes dim with tears when we think of that
great body of common, ordinary college students— the
forgotten men and women of the campus. How unfair to
them is the present system of things: unequal distri-
bution of grade points which permits the accumulation of
vast sums of points on the grade cards of a very few
students, while the great masses barely survive on an
almost flunkation average. Do you realize that three
percent of the students here control ninety nine and
forty-four one-hundredths percent of the grade points?
Shame, thrice shame, for the injustice of it all!

To the new director of personnel we suggest a five-
point program to help the down-trodden group of college
students gain its rightful heritage:

1-Redistribution of grade points now possessed by
students, flolowing the great principle that the last shall
be first.

2-Extensive revision of the grading system, so that
students who in the old obsolete capitalistic era flunked
out will now get A's, and the present bloated plutocrats
now flaunting high averages will grovel to get F's.

3-Immediate expulsion from college of anyone making
over 70 per cent in a test, on grounds of such persons be-
ing out of harmony with the new program and purposes
of this institution.

4-Prompt discharge of any faculty member found
guilty of leaning toward the capitalistic system of favori-
tism by giving certain students higher grades merely be-
cause they are better students than the others.

Conferring the following degrees upon distinguished
graduating students who merit them: L. D. (Doctor of
Leisure): M. M. (Master of Moonshining); LL. D. (Doctor
of Love Letters); O. S. M. (Master of Over-Sleeping);
L. D. D. D. (Doctor of Dozing During Lectures); B. B.
(Bachelor's Button); S. T. D. (Darn Tired Studying).

Evan Renne, who graduated from
Maryville college last year, was one of
eight men who passed the Greek place-
ment examination at Princeton Semi-
nary. Forty students took the exami-
nation. Those who pass the exami-
nation are not required to take Greek
during their Seminary course.

Mr. Renne has also been selected as
a regular member of the Princeton
male choir. The twenty-four who make
up the choir receive private instuction
once a week from Mr. Baumgartner,
baritone soloist of the Westminister
choir school.

who hold unusual jobs around the campus:

Wilbert Yoohooloian-noted mathematician, surveyor
and lawyer. He has the absorbing job of computing exact-
ly just what boundaries and limits constitute the well-
known central area of the campus.

Bankruptcy — Putting all of your money in your pants

pocket and letting your creditors have your coat.
Artery — A place where paintings are kept.
Fan dancer — A nudist with a cooling system.
Positive — Being mistaken at the top of one's voice.

Armature — Someone on Major Bowes' program.
Sugar daddy— A form of crystalized sap.
Project — New name for job. Invented by PWA.
Optimist— The guy who still hopes to see an armless Ian

dancer.
Taxi trip— Longest distance between two points.
Airplane cocktail — One drop and you are dead.

The Junior class will give a Dutch
Treat party Monday, November 1. The
evening will begin with a chicken
dinner banquet prepared by the East-
ern Star women. Later the Juniors
will see "The Prisoner of Zenda" at
the Capitol Theatre. The cost of the
party will be eighty cents per person,
forty cents which will be assumed by
the Junior class treasury. This leaves
forty cents to be paid by each Junior
attending the party. The party will be

World of Health
Will Be Feature
Of New York Fair

NEW YORK (Special).— In a njllion-
dollar medical and public hearth rroject
of the New York World's Fair of 1939,
man will be able actually to see himself
in a way never before possible. He will
be able to watch the operation of the
various intricate organs which give him
life. Also he will learn what science is
doing for his bodily welfare and for that
of the communty in which he resides.
He will be told in new ind dramatic
manner how to take advantage of the
means, already at his hand, to insure his
health and that of his family.

In no other international exposition
than the New York Fair has a separate
building been assigned for presentation
of the story of medicine and public
health. This structure, solely devoted to
such a story, will be in the heart of the
main exhibit area. Although not yet defi-
nitely named, it will house "A World of
Health."

The exhibits for it are being planned
by a General Advisory Committee com-
posed of 101 national, state and local New
York authorities >n medicine and health
already appointed by Grover Whalen,
President of the Fair Corporation. Chair-
man of this Committee is Dr. Victor
Heiser, whose reputation in these fields
is international.

Animated Displays

There will be assembled in this budd-
ing displays both colorful ".nd ..nimated
which will portray mssji's inatomy and
physiology and the workings of his nu-
merous organs. In other words, visitors
to the building will have an opportunity
to see just what "makes them tick".
Even one round of this building will tell
them more about themselves than they
have ever known before. Exhibits of the
buildup and operation of human diges-
tive, nervous and breathing apparatus
will be so simply and understandably
shown that descriptive matter will be
practically unnecessary. The eye will be
able to read the "story" without diffi-
culty.

The building to be erected for these
exhibits at an estimated cost of $360,000,
will be divided into three main cham-
bers of great size to be designated as
"The Hall of Man", "The Hall of Med,cal
Science" and "The Hall of Public
Health."

. A notable novelty in the presentation
of exhibits in this building is that the
visitor, in addition to seeing many which
have never before been shown in public,
will be able to manipulate several of
the complicated models to produce, him-
self, the effects they were contrived to
demonstrate.

Skull in Large Size

It is contemplated to construct a model
of the human eye of such great s;ze that
visitors will be able to get inside it in
groups and look through the giant pupil
and, by adjusting levers, see what the
outer world looks like to the far-sighted
person, to one nearsighted and -o one
who may be cross-eyed or have other de-
fect of vision.

Another exhibit in prospect will be a
skull of such proportions that visitors
may likewise get inside it and' walk abcut
to make themselves familiar with Its
structure, the cavities in which the eye-
balls rest, and how the teath are set in
the jaws. Also they will be able \i go
to the rear part of it where there Is the
large opening thr&ugh which breath
passes on its way to the lungs and food
on its journey to the stomach.

As Mr. Whalen pointed out -n an-
nouncing the creation of the Fair's Ad-
visory Committee on Medicine and Pub-
lic Health, "the exhibits are not f« r doc-
tors, but for the average man /ho often
gets into trouble because he doesn't know
the dangers nor even the langer signals
when it comes to matters of health
preservation."

INTRA MURAL
ITEMS

By ROY TALMAGE

At its last meeting, the athletic board
of control passed on the proposed plan
of the Y. M. C. A. athletic committee
to award class numerals to those parti-
cipating in the interclass program. The
awards will be made on a point system;
participation in each sport credits to
the individual a varying number of
points, these determined by the
quarters played (as in football or bas-
ketball), or the games played, plus a
given number of points for the rank of
his class in that sport. Thus a member
of the champion football team playing
in twenty out of twenty-four quarters
will receive ten points plus an addi-
tional ten due to the class champion-
ship, making a total of twenty points
received for football. Those making
seventy-five points or more for the
year will receive a set of the numerals
of their respective class. The numerals
will be orange and garnet, suitable for
wearing on a sweater. If possible, there
will also be awarded to those making
sixty or more points an abbreviated
numeral. The total number of points
required is subject to change as tt is
the plan to award a minimum of fifteen
and maximum of twenty-four sets, of
numerals to the four classes. To obtain
a numeral, the student must be a con-
sistent participant in the program
through out the year. In the case of
close decisions, sportsmanship and class
spirit will be the deciding point.

The first half of the football schedule
is as follows:

October 26 — Juniors vs. Freshmen
October 28 — Seniors vs. Sophomores
October 30 — Freshmen vs. Sophomores
November — 2 Juniors vs. Seniors

In the absence of the most worthy sports editor one of the scribe
aspirants must needs take up his pen and fill the "bosses" column
with the weekly tripe. We mention this not for our own glorification
but so that you won't, under any circumstances, consider this his
work.

0-0. That was the score last night. We don't know yet any of
the details of the game. When we heard it this morning we were, quite
naturally, disappointed. But we must remember that Lenoir-Rhyne
has a strong team. Or had a strong team before we played them. And
then there is always next week to look forward to.

Which reminds us, that unless we miss our guess, the Highlanders
will win the "Homecomer" next Friday night. At the same time de-
feating a team that beat us in . 1935. Anyway we are hoping for the
first Homecoming victory in recent years.

Next Tuesday marks the opening of the 1937 interclass touch foot-
ball season, directed by Roy Talmage and the class athletic directors. We
wouldn't dare make any prediction as to the outcome, but if we did
we think that the Sophs have a pretty good team. Maybe we're prejudiced.

Everyday we let opportunities to do and see great things slip by.

Interclass Football Begins Soon

Interclass football, sponsored by the
Y. M. C. A., starts again in a week or
so. The teams this year are all sporting
big names, and there promises to be
a spirited battle for the class cham-
pionship.

In the line-up for the seniors we see
that Bill Young, Roy Talmage, Bill
Irwin, George Brown, and "Nosey"
Peterson, head the list. The two Liter-
ary Society president, "Spenny"
Spencer, and Win Ross, have also de-
cided to combine forces to defend the
honors of the Class of '38.

The juniors have a powerful team
this year, and are the favorites to
annex the championship honors. Such
/stars (?) as Russ Colombo, "Waterboy"
Bert Chandler, Red McCaskie, Bruce
Morgan, and "Drummer Boy" Crane,
comprise the nucleus of their eleven.

When Les Luxton leads the sopho-
more aggregation onto the battlefield
(fifth green) Dick Woodring, Gibby

Smith, and "Racquet" Morrow head the
list of his valiants.

The "freshies" have an inexperienced
squad out, but what they lack in ex-
perience they have made up in num-
ber and spirit. Numerous freshman, in-
cluding Jim Miller, Dave Talmage,
Gordon Findlay,' Joe Magill, Harold
Lawson, and Johnny Miller, are ready
to let the upper classmen realize that
there will be some tough opposition
from the underdog.

Interest in touch football has been
high this year. With all the classes hav-
ing promising material, there ought to
be some good games played this fall.
The heavy favorites are the juniors,
who were runners-up last year. Despite
the fact that the odds are on the
juniors, there should be plenty of com-
petition from the seniors. However,
with so many chances for an upset, no
one can be certain of the final results.
At any rate we look forward to an ex-
citing season of interclass football.

Seeking their first homecoming vic-
tory in recent years, Maryville's Scots
will line up against Coach Nig Mc-
Ilwaine's Cumberland university Bull-
dogs next Friday night.

Changes for a win this year are good,
too, Cumberland being weak if the
scores which come in are any indi-
cation. The once-powerful Bulldogs
have been bumped three or four times
already this season." They lost to Car-
son-Newman 12-0, to Appalachian
Teachers 39-0, and more recently to
Arkansas State Teachers 60-6.

With most of their injured players
ready for service once more the Scots
should be in good shape. They have a
little bit of humiliation at the hands of
the Lawyers two years ago to wipe out,
too. It was in 1935 that Cumberland,
ied by the great play of Lindsay Don-
nel, swept the Highlanders off the field
by a 21-0 count.

Donnell, one of the greatest half-
backs in the entire south that year,
pulled everything but the hidden ball
trick on the Scots. He outgained them
by himself, getting away time and
again for long end sweeps and quick
thrusts at tackle. He was usually
brought down by the secondary. That
is when he was stopped at all.

The year before the Cumberland un-
pleasantness, East Tenn. Teachers had
snatched the Homecoming fray 19-6.
Then last year, in one of the most
fiercely contested games seen on Wil-
son Field, the Teachers sneaked up
again with a baseball score, winning
2-0.

The lone two points came in the third
period when a Buccaneer lineman
blocked one of Junior Odell's kicks on
the 12 yard line. The ball rolled out
of the end zone where it became an
automatic safety and spoiled another
day for the old grads.

This year it should be a different
story. Unless the Middle Tennessee
Lawyers show a direct reversal of
form, Maryville should be able to take
this game.

Swimming Team Begins
Practice For '37 Meets

Ted Gillingham and Frank Morrow,
finalists of the singles tournament,
paired together to win the intramural

doubles tournament from Coach 'have not already begun practice should

George Fishbach and Pete Kosloski in
four hard fought sets, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4,
Wednesday afternoon, October 20.

Fishbach and Kosloski got the jump
on Gillingham and Morrow by taking
the first two games of the match but
the Morrow-Gillingham combination
came back to take six straight games
and the set, 6-2. Fishbach and Koslos-
ki retalliated in the second set by win-
ning with the same score.

Gillingham and Morrow did not drop
another set, taking the third 6-3 and
the fourth 6-4, but the losers put up
such a stiff fight that the victory was
not a sure thing until the final game
was over. The Fishbach-Kosloski pair
took the first two games in each set
but were able to capitalize on the op-
portunity only once.

Both teams displayed championship
tennis, were exceptionally strong on
the net, and kept the sprinkling of
spectators gasping.

Coasting into the semi-finals on two
forfeits and only one played match,
Gillingham and Morrow defeated Lloyd
and Van Cise, 6-1, 6-2, to win their
berth in the finals.

Fischbach and Kosloski encountered
almost the same condition with one bye
and a forfeit, but met real competition
in the quarter finals in Keith Augen-
stein and Russ Colombo and again in
the semi-finals got more than just
practice against Akana and Stevenson.
Other quarter final round matches
were played off between Lloyd and
Van Cke who won over Talmage and
Talmage and also Akana-Stevenson
who won over Ross and Jussely.

Twenty-two teams started off in the
first round with no positions seeded,
but the two finalists made a clean
sweep of the brackets with out a really
serious threat.

Prospective swimmers started work
outs for the 1937 season Friday, Octo-
ber 22, under the direction of Coach
Fichback. Every Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday afternoon those trying for
the team will work out from five to six
in the college pool.

be postponed to other days except by
agreement of the two athletic directors
involved.

2. No team will be required to play
shorthanded because of the failure of
their opponents to rally eleven men to
their cause; nor will any game be
postponed due to the failure of one
team, or part of a team to show up at
game time.

3. No one out for the varsity squad
after the first day of October will be
eligible for interclass competition; any-
one out at all is required to obtain a
written statement from Manager Bryne

o the above effect.

4. Each player will receive one half
a point for every quarter played in,
and additional points according to the
rank of their team.

5. No football equipment of any kind
may be used by a player. Only those
wearing rubber-soled shoes will be
allowed to play.

6. Anyone violating any of these

Fireman's Job

(Continued from page one)
ed gingerly to safety. Two weeks in the
hospital put him back on the job,
though, and today his face doesn't
show a scar.

One evening after a hard day's work
Tom was dressing in the shower room
behind the boiler. He was whistling
and thinking of the warm meal await-
ing him at home, when an unfamiliar
rumbling noise in the boiler stopped
him short. He leaped out of the shower
room, ran for a valve in the far end
of the plant, shut it off with feverish
haste. A student assistant had allowed
the water to get low in the boiler and
then had turned cold water into the
red-hot tank. If Tom had been a few
seconds slower, the boiler would have
gone up with a terrific explosion.
The two men would have been trap-
ped, scalded to death. Tom says he
walked weakly back to the shower
room with a trembline in his knees.
Sometimes, he says, when he looks up
at the side of that boiler he still has
a funny feeling in the pit of his
stomach.

College authorities hope to build a
new plant down near the railroad
tracks one of these days, Tom says. The
campus beautification campaign and
the fact that the heating system is
badly worn have prompted the de-
cision.

Large Number of Old Grads

Return To-day For

Alumni association of the college, re-
leased today the completed program
for the annual Homecoming Day cele-
bration of the college. The number of
alumni expected to return this after-

were led as usual by "Rusty" Wick-
lund, Bill Young, and Fred Brink.

The meeting ended with the singing
of the alma mater.

Student Council Asks
That Week's Notice Be
Given For Major Test

John Lancaster, president of the
Student council, announced at the
regular meeting Wednesday evening
that Dr. Lloyd had agreed to recom-
mend at the next faculty meeting that
one week's notice be given by each
professor before a major examination
in any course.

A unanimous vote of the council ap-
proved the constitutional changes rec-
ommended by committe-chairman
Helen Maguire. The specific revisions,
which must be passed by a two-thirds
vote of the student body, refer to an
earlier appointment of the Pep com-
mittee, the discarding of the clause re-
ferring to a Welcoming committee, and
the appointment of the Social com-
mittee in the spring instead of in the
autumn as is the present situation.

A recommendation by the treasurers
of the four classes that the council be
required to fill out requisition slips for
funds as they are needed was re-
jected by the council. A motion that
each class pay five dollars to the
council at once, any surplus to be re-
funded at the close of the year, was
substituted for the recommendation of
the treasurers.

Major Price to Speak
At YM Program Sunday

Musical Aptitude Test

Given Monday to 83

Eight-three students, the majority of
whom were students, took the Sea-
shore musical aptitude test last Monday
evening in Dr. Brigg's classroom.

The test, which has been compiled
over a period of many years by some
of the world's best psychologists, de-
termines to a large degree the possi-
bilities a person may have along
musical lines. It is not based on train-
ing, nor upon technical ability of any
kind, but simply determines a persons
natural ability to distinguish pitch,
rhythm, and harmony, and his ability
to recognize musical phrases.

Major Charles W. Price will speak
at Sunday afternoon's Y. M. C. A.
program, it was announced by the
worship committee. Major Price is a
consulting chemist of Sweetwater, Ten-
nessee, and was the main speaker at
the Y. M. C. A.— Y. W. C. A. Retreat
held at Line Springs hotel last May.

Considering this one of the big meet-
ings of the year, a special effort is be-
ing made to have a large number of
men present to hear Major Price.

Avon Players To Present Macbeth
On Voorhees Stage, Saturday, 8:15

Rosenthal Opens
Artists' Series In
Voorhees, Nov. 16

Noted Pianist Will Present

Same Program Given

In Town Hall

Moritz Rosenthal, seventy-four year
old dean ofwrorld concert pianists, will
open the 1937-38 Maryville College
Artist Series recitals in Voorhees
Chapel November 16. His concert at
Maryville will be the third concert of
his current tour of America.

The artist arrives in New York
from his Polish home early in Novem-
ber and will play a concert in Town
Hall, New York City, November 11.
The following evening, he appears in
Washington for a performance. He
comes directly from Washington to
Maryville, arriving in Knoxville on
Monday and playing in concert on
Tuesday evening. His program for the
Maryville concert is identical with the
one he plays in Town Hall.

Rosenthal, leaves behind him a trail
of artistic accomplishments as court
pianist to the King of Roumania, and
to Emperor Franz Joseph of the old
Austro-Hungarian empire. He played
to the composers compositions of Liszt,
Brahms and Strauss. Tutored by Franz
Liszt, the greatest pianist of all time,
Rosenthal is accepted as the last of the
romantic Liszt school of technique.

On his first tour of America, last
year, his artistic ability was acclaimed
by critics from all sections of the
country.

Student tickets will be placed on sale
soon.

Company Makes Its Third

Appearance At

Maryville

The Avon Players, nationally known
Shapespearean company, now making
its eighth tour of the South, will pre-
sent "Macbeth" on the Voorhees chapel
stage tomorrow evening at 8:15 p. m.
Under the direction of the veteran in-
terpreter of Shakespearean roles,
Joseph Selman, the players make then-
third appearance at Maryville, having
given "Othello" and "The Merchant of
Venice" before enthusiastic audiences
of the past two seasons.

Mr. Selman's company is one of ex-
perience and ability. Jack Vinson, one
of the male leads, directed stock com-
panies of his own for many years be-
fore joining the Avon Players. Eugenie
Du Bois, who is cast for the exacting
portrayal of Lady Macbeth, has support-
ed such stars as Robert Mantell, Edna
Mae Oliver, and Walter Connelly.

A new member of the troupe this year
is Kurt Richards, who makes his debut
in Shakespearean characterizations on
this tour. Mr. Richards played in stock
in New York during the past summer,
and in Max Reinhardt's Broadway pro-
duction of "The Eternal Road" this fall.

Another gifted newcomer is David
Sondee, who appeared last season with
Walter Houston1 in "Othello" and Walter
Hampden in "An Enemy of the People."
To his successes with Brian Aherne,
Helen Hayes, Phillips Lord, and Madam
Ouspenskaya of the Moscow Art thea-
ter, Mr. Sondee has also added stellar
radio performances in "Gang Busters",
"Coronet" and "Bambi."

David Heminger and Robert Selman,
are veterans of the company. Mr. Hem-
inger has an impressive record of per-
formances during a lifetime before the
flood lights. Mr. Robert Selman, star of
radio and stage, has appeared in the
supporting casts'of Helen Hayes,* Opson
Welles, Brian Aherne, Richard Crom-
well, and Walter Huston.

Among the younger members of the
Avon Players are George Colbert, Jo
Anne Davis, and Dorothy Muller.
Youthful and talented, they do much
to add to the vitality of the company.
Miss Miller comes to Maryville with
two years experience with the Washing-
ton Square Players of New York, with
whom she played some of the roles
she performs this season.

The outstanding figure in the Avon
Players, however, is the veteran direc-
tor, Joseph Selman. Associated with
the stage since early youth, he has
toured America and the British
Dominions. He has appeared in major
roles with many of the famous fig-
ures on the American stage, including
Mrs. Fiske, Mary Pickford, George M.
Cohan, Wallace Beery, and Edward G.
Robinson.

Mr. Selman's dynamic stage person-
ality, magnificent delivery, and careful
interpretations have done much to in-
sure the continued success of the Avon
Players through the eight years of
their existence. His ingenious use of
limited facilities, accurate costuming,
judicious editing of the plays mark
him as a capable and experienced di-
rector.

The Avon Players are being spon-
sored by the social committee, and
Professor George D. Howell and
Walter West are in charge of ticket
sales. Admission is thirty-five cents for
students and faculty, and fifty cents for
all others.

75 Attend Disc Club

Meeting Friday Aft.

The Disc club met last Friday after-
noon at 4:30 in the chapel. About
seventy-five were present to hear
Wagner's Die Meistersinger and
Haydn's Surprise Symphony. Edith
Gillette told something of the life of
Haydn, and explained each of the four
movements of the Surprise Symphony
before they were played.

Die Beiden Grenadiere by Robert
Schumann was the second number on
the program. This was one of the
selections which Julius Huehn. Metro-
politan Opera singer, sang last year
when he was in Maryville for the
Artist Series. Helen Lady made com-
ment on Wagner's Die Meistersinger,
calling attention to the outstanding
themes of each part of Die Meister-
singer before they were played.

Homecoming

Today we welcome back to the campus those of the
alumni who, following an old custom, return to Maryville
for the annual Homecoming. A barbecue, entertainment
in the Alumni gym, and a football game this evening with
Cumberland university are features of the homecoming
program.

We do not feel that any part of the program above
would in itself cause many graduates to return. The reason
is rather to be found in the renewal of friendships and
relations with former classmates and professors, and in
the recollection of memories associated with the college
where some of their happiest and fullest days were spent.

Our alumni are drawn .to us by an acquaintanceship
grounded on experience. They have lived to a great
degree the same kind of life that we are now leading on
the campus. They, too have dozed in chapel, worried over
Theism notebooks, laughed at Coach Honaker's jokes,
burned the proverbial midnight oil— have experienced
all that goes to make up our daily life.

We welcome the Alumni and hope that they will
enjoy their stay with us.

A Point System > .«*■ ; t. .
For Maryville

Every year we find that the major responsibilities
on the campus are faced by a handful of students. The
tendency to pass the buck has the unfortunate result that
a few overworked students do all the work.

In order to more equally divide both honors and the
work attached to them, several colleges are adopting a
Point System for leading office holders. The system is
designed to limit the number of an individual's activities.
Points are assigned to the various offices according to
their importance and the amount of time necessary in
discharging their duties. No person is allowed to hold
two major offices.

Such a system might be said to have two main pur-
poses:

(1.) To protect the man from attempting to enter into
so many outside activities that he might neglect his
scholastic work;

(2.) To protect the organization from deterioration be-
cause of inefficient officers, made so because of too much
work.

Clearly the system is a safeguard and not a restriction.
It is a safeguard against the folly of the student who tries
to assume obligations beyond his ability to do the work
well.

This plan would not only prevent anyone from carry-
ing too much work, but would also provide more oppor-
tunity for experience and training needed in the develop-
ment of other students.

The Echo would appreciate any comments in the form
of suggestions or criticism on this plan from faculty or
students. Your student council representative no doubt
would also like to know your opinion.

The Echo favors that a point system be worked out
and adopted at Maryville college.

THE BOSTON SPEECH OF HERBERT HOOVER

Tuesday should be of interest to every intelligent
American, irrespective of his political sympathies. Hoover's
"five great national issues" are the essential characteristics
of our American democracy which has made the average
American citizen the object of the envy of the average
man of every other nation in the world. The position of
the United States as the greatest immigrant nation and
the one with the least number of emigrants for over a
hundred and fifty years bears out that contention. Part
of the ex-president's speech is worth quoting.

THERE ARE FTVE GREAT CATEGORIES of national
issues today. The first are issues of moral integrity in
government. The second are the vital issues of personal
liberty and its safeguards. The third are those financial
and economic policies which affect the standards of living
of the people. The fourth are the humane issues of
security and of aid for the less fortunate. The fifth are our
relations to other nations — Our national question is not
alone — where are we going? But even more — where do we
want to go?"

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, whom every one of us
will be acclaiming forty years from now as one of the
greatest of all American presidents and one of the few
truly great statesmen of all time, made a speech in Chicago
last week which THE NATION, TIME, and other periodi-
cals characterized as "affecting the entire course of world
history". Yet Polonius will warrant that very few students
at Maryville are aware of the president's subject matter
or even that he made a speech. The fact that the United
States has for the first time in her history abandoned her
isolationist policy when her immediate interests have not
been involved is significant. Roosevelt's vehement repudi-
ation of Japanese aggression and his indication of the
readiness of this country to enforce her belief in demo-
cratic principles with the use of American battleships
is a fact which may carry this country into war before any
of us are aware of a government policy.

HERE IN THESE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS, hun-
dreds of miles from our large cities and maritime frontiers,
we Maryvillians are prone to neglect our reading in the
field of contemporary affairs, national and international.
The habit of spending a part of each day reading current
magazines and newspapers is just as vital a part of a
college education as any course offered in any university
curriculum. We have an excellent collection of periodicals
in our library. Make use of them!

Long an adherent of the truism "A thing is not
necessarily good because it is old", Polonius has at last
met the converse of his pet theorem. Whoever or what-
ever started the present fashion of knee-length hose for
women should (1) be thoroughly exterminated (2) require
an additional six inches on all women's dresses, or (3) be
exterminated anyway for the anguish already caused
among conscientious males. Men wishing to be charter
members of the S. P. E. F. K. (Society for the Prevention
of the Exhibition of Female Kneecaps) are invited to leave
their names at the door of Polonius' inner sanctum.

In spite of words to the contrary publicly spoken by
this writer we hereby give a vote of confidence to the
staff of the 1938 CHILHOWEAN. A glimpse of the plans
and a talk with editor Bruce Morgan were sufficient to dis-
pel all our fears that the book would not be worthy of the
college. Early payment of fees, class dues, and subscription
costs will greatly aid a staff which has been under tre-
mendous handicaps in getting started. Here's to the CHIL-
HOWEAN for 1938!

Fits and Fizzles

By FRED RHOD1]

Macbeth's Witches Toil Again

Round about the cauldron go;
In the cayenne pepper throw.
Reeking garlic, caustic sauce,
In the green persimmon toss.
Double, double, cauldron hiss,
What a mess we'll make of this.
Acrid spices, scallion hot,
Stir with lye into the pot.
Ethyl gas is needed, too,
Stewing this high-powered brew.
Double, double, cauldron hiss,
This is soup we've made of this!

Coming Home

Tis Hallowe'en, and Homecoming time, beside:
Forth creep the spirits whence all year they hide.
For this one night the college grad awakes,
And for this eve some solid form he takes.
But 'tis decreed each must assume that guise,
Which with his acts at college harmonize.
'Mid swirling mist on magic baseball lot,
The transformed grads surround the supper pot:
This silent wide-eyed owl with blinkless gaze,
Did naught but study — won his teachers' praise;
Now tilting dumb and still upon a tree,
How l- ten seem his A's to you and me!
This fearsome witch with pow'r to cast a spell,
Was once a campus flirt (or so they tell);
She who bewitched with pretty rolling eye,
Now rides alone her broomstick 'cross the sky.
This dusky cat, with eye of jealous port,
Who was in college days a catty sort,
Now slinks with sharpened claws amid the gloom,
And sneers at witches wearing last year's broom.
The next is garbed in six-foot snowy wings;
He plays a harp and sweetest music sings;
Ah, four long years a student at this school,
And didn't even dent a campus rule!
But yearning mars his high angelic bliss —
He'd give it all for fun he had to miss.
Thus college grads their yearly pow-wow keep,
And some must fly, some slither, slide or creep;
For what they seemed to others in the past,
That are they now, and cannot be recast.
I face the future with uneasy fear —
When I come back, how shall I then appear?

with the place now is that the sacred
halls are becoming too radical. I hear
that the women students can walk to

demoralizing!"

From the diary of a typical college
professor (who otherwise is mentally
fit) of Weary ville college:

Awoke 6:29. Arose 8:01. Gulped a
swallow of a hot kiss at the break-
fast table and then took a cup of
coffee that the wee wifey gave me on
the forehead at the door.

Had faith that Coach Hombie Lona-
ker would preach a long serious ser-
mon in chapel so I could study for my
classes. He did, of course, but in-
stead of studying I slept.

Afraid to go to A period class.
Afraid to face the stern gaze of the
students. Took one last cramming
look at the book and then sneaked into
class.

Told the class a good joke and then
wondered why the bell didn't ring
and why the students didn't laugh. It
finally did but they never did.

Mute Barie Crown told the interest-
ing derivation of the word "Wearv-
ville", It comes from "Washington" by
dropping the suffix "ashington" and
adding another "earyville".

Almost went to sleep in F period
class along with the students.

Read the funnies three hours. Moon
Mullins puzzled me.

Climbed into bed just before the
lights blinked. Had faith that chapel

speaker in the morning would give
me time to study for my classes.

perature: 78 degrees with the light off.

Dr. Briggs Sets Forth

Program For Reading

Dr. David H. Briggs, professor and
head of the Department of Psychology
and Education at Maryville Allege, has
set forth a "Program for Reading"
which is designed to effect greater
comprehension and less waste of time
among students.

This "Program for Reading" contains
four main points: (1) Analyze the
problem in the chapter or paragraph.
(2) Get facts and illustrations bearing
on or tending to solve your problem.
Try to concentrate on only those facts
which are valuable to the work at
hand. (3) Evaluate those facts and
illustrations. Find the important thing
in each paragraph and fix it in mind.
(4) Learn to summarize these impor-
tant facts.

Dr. Briggs believes that reading
comprehension increases with an in-
crease in the speed of reading,
that "thoughts other than those pro-
voked by our reading have time to
enter into our minds when we read
slowly."

THE HIGHLAND ECHO OCTOBER 29, 1937

BUTTON, BUTTON

When the freshly orange-clad Scot gridders march on. Wilfon Field tonight

to face the big maroon team from Lebanon there are
old grads to look for.

Doubtless, alumni, you know very well that you tfre stfbposed to watch
the titantic action on the scrimmage line, where the real mayhem takes place,
rather than confine your scrutiny to the man with the Mall. *

But that's O. K. 4

You just go on and watch that ball. You never can tell where it will be
when next you see it if you do let it get away far an instant.

The so-called "Vanderbilt Mystery Play" has made every team in the
country sit up and take notice. The small schools especially are going to be
using every trick the ingenuity of their coaches will allow from now on.

And did you know that "Nig" Mcllwaine, the Cumberland mentor is a
loyal Vanderbilt man?

So keep your eyes open and follow that ball if you can!

Verdict

TO BE SPECIFIC

And individually speaking, you might keep an appraising eye on the kick-
ing of Junior Odell and the punt returns of Al Burris, both of which have
made life miserable for the opposition so far this season.

Then there is the work of Captain Jim Renfro behind the line to be watched.
Cap'n Jim has been a wheelhorse on defense for loi many moons and it's
time someone besides those in the know took a little more notice.

CALL MORGUE, 123

Interclass doings roll merrily on. Our Mr. Steakley, of the ace frosh sports
staff, reports anent yesterday's near-fatal football clash as follows:

"The game was the most exciting so far in the interclass schedule. Both
teams played fast touch football which kept the ball in the air most of the
time.

"For the seniors, Hernandez, Parker, Win Ross, and Talmage, were the
outstanding players. While the sophomores had, Etheredge, Morrow, Wood-
ring, Wicklund, and Luxton, standing out."

He neglected to add the list of victims now reclining on their respective
beds of pain. The boys do get rough at times!

men, they may not have won the ball
game, but did you see Hamilton and
Van Blarcom run, or Miller snag

came from the freshmen who ran the
ball back long distances several times
despite the dampness of the field.

Y. W. Receives Tapestry

The interclass football schedule got
under way last Tuesday afternoon,
with the powerful junior team whip-
ping the freshman to the tune of 12-0.

The upper classmen scored early in
the game when Red McCaskie heaveS
a long pass to Weldon Baird, who ran
20 yards for a touchdown. The juniors
failed to make good the extra point.

In the second quarter the junior's
passing combination clicked again
when McCaskie threw another long
pass tt Baird, who was waiting for
the ball in the open field on the fresh-
man ten yard line. The juniors again
failed to convert the extra point.

The upper classmen's goal line was
in danger only once, when Van Blar-
com, freshmen fullback, returned a
punt to the junior's twenty yard line.
Here the freshmen made a determined
thrust at the goal line, but failed to
reach the pay-off section before losing
the ball on downs.

For the victors McCaskie, Baird,
Colombo, and Rhody were the out-
standing players. Van Blarcorn and
Jim Miller were the mainstays for the
freshmen.

The game was played in a sea of
mud, which slowed up the teams con-
siderably. Fumbles and intercepted
passes were frequent due to the slip-
pery ball.

Alpha Sig 7, Athenian 2

The Alpha Sigmas won the first
Alpha Sig — Athenian football game
touch football game of" the season last
Saturday, when they succeeded in
turning back the Athenians 7-2.

The Alpha Sigma team scored the
lone touchdown of the game in the late
part of the first half, when Frank Mor-
row, sophomore, intercepted an Athen-
ian pass and ran twenty yards for a
touchdown.

The Athenians scored 2 points on a
touch-back in the third quarter, when
Ed Jussley, junior, broke through the
Alpha Sigma line and touched Don
Parker behind his goal line.

The game was a see-saw affair with
neither team having the greater ad-
vantage. The field was muddy, and a
light rain was falling which made play-
ing conditions difficult.

This was the first game of a series,
which the two societies hope to en-
gage in before the season closes.

Sixteen men reported for the initial
work-out of the swimming training
period at the college pool, Friday after-
noon, October 22.

Only six letter men are in school
from last year around whom to form
a mucleus for the 1937 squad. Those
returning are Wicklund, Hilditch,
Craine, Chandler, Taylor and Captain
Stafford. Other men trying for the
team are Elder, Moore, Rippeth, Topp,
Hedrick, Muecke, Bowers, Akana,
Vineyard, Cuerckay and Stevenson.

Coach Fishbach stated that all posi-
tions on the team are wide open and
that the opening is particularly wide in
breast stroke and back stroke positions,
graduation taking the members of last
years team filling these places.

The swimming team will make its
official debut at the annual water
carnival which it to take place some
time near November 27. Immediately
following the carnival the swimming
schedule will get under way.

Sophomore Girls Claim
Soccer Title By 4-3 Wins

On Tuesday and Thursday of this
week the sophomore girls' soccer team
defeated the junior-senior and the
freshmeiv teams to claim the champion-
ship of the Soccer Tournament. Both
scores were the same, 4-3, and in both
games the winning point was gained
in an extra time period.

The game on Tuesday between the
junior-seniors and sophomores was
very closely played, the sophomores
scoring two goals first and then the
juniors bringing this store to a 3-3
tie. The sophomores won their fourth
point in the three minute extra time
period.

On Thursday the freshmen suprised
the other teams and the spectators by
keeping the score with the sophomores
at a tie. They showed excellent team
work in passing the ball. As on Tues-
day the sophomores received their
winning point in a three minute ex-
tra time period.

Although the sophomores have won
the tournament by beating the junior-
seniors and freshmen, these two teams
will play a game on Tuesday at three
o'clock to see who will take second
place in the tournament.

Highlanders Seek Third SMC Victory
In Homecoming Battle with Bulldogs

Alumni To See Team That Dropped King College Friday;
Odell-Etheredge Pass Duo May Play Big Part

Maryville's Scotties will be after
their third straight Smoky Mountain
Conference victory tonight when they
face the Cumberland Bulldogs, con-
querors of King College last Friday.

Featuring the backfield artistry of
fullback O'Guinn and quarter
"Squatty" Vaughn, the lawyers are a
real threat to the Scots unmarred SMC
record.

A week ago Cumberland would
have been a two or three touchdown
underdog; but such is not the case to-
night. The main reason for the abrupt
change in relative strength of the two
teams lies in the 8-6 win which Cum-
berland pulled out of the fire in the
King game. Not given a chance to ex-
tend the powerful tornado, much less
to defeat them, the Lawyers recovered
from the blasting effects of a King
score on the first play of the game,
and came back with a touchdown in
the second period. They added the
killing blow to King's hopes in the
last frame when they plowed through
to smash an attempted reverse behind
the King goal line for a safety.

If the Scots find an opportunity to
turn loose the full force of their passing

game on the Middle Tennesseans they
may be able to do what King was un-
able to accomplish. They will probably
depend on "Boll-weevil Joe" Etheredge
to do most of the receiving, with
Junior Odell and Scottie Honaker on
the throwing end.

Strictly on the record the Scots
should rate as heavy favorites. They
have lost only one game this year, and
that to the University of Chattanooga
in the first start of the season.

On the other hand Cumberland has
won only a single verdict against four
wallopings. In fact they made only two
touchdowns in five battles and have
seen a regular parade across their own
defense, being victimized to the
mournful tune of 132 points, sixty of
which were rolled up by Arkansas
State Teachers three weeks ago.

Still, any bold prediction of a Scot
victory is made hazardous in the face
of that 8-6 win over King. If they did
it once nobody knows but what they
can do it again.

With that setup the old grads should

have one of their most attractive pig-
skin programs in store tonight.

The Scots completely outplayed the
Lenoir Rhyne Bears throughout the
mud battle at Hickory, N. C. last Fri-
day only to have their attack go sour
the one time they reached true touch-
down territory, leaving the score
knotted, 0-0.

After Junior Odell's thirty yard run j
on a fake kick had carried the ball to
the Bear's twenty yard line the Hona-
ker men drove on to the ten, where
they had first down and goal to go.
Three plays advanced them to the
four yard line. Then, on fourth down,
Hughes' blow at tackle from a short
spread formation was stopped short of
the goal. The final score was 0-0.

Lenoir Rhyne never seriously
threatened to score. They reached the
Scot thirty yard line early in the
game but were halted and set back on
their heels for the rest of the battle.

Odell's kicking played a big part in
the edge Maryville held. He booted
the slick ball for very respectable dis-
tances, always keeping it away from
the safety man, and once setting it
down on the Bear two yard, stripe
sixty-eight yards away.

Al Burris' deft handling of the soggy

Next week it's King College who

land gridmen.

Pedie Jackson is expected to have a
powerhouse on the field at Bristol in
an attempt to wreak vengeance on the
team which upset his Tornado 16-14
last year on a last quarter field goal.

As has been mentioned above, the
Tornado has met one tartar this season
in Cumberland. Except for their sur-
prising defeat at Lebanon they boast a
clean record as well as a highly favored
position in the pre-season SMC ratings.

Included in the King list of scalps
are those of Tennessee Wesleyan,
Southeastern Junior champs, and
Emory-Henry college, 26-0 victims.

For the first time this season the
Scots will go into a loop game rated
distinctly as the underdog.

King can be surprised, though. Cum-
berland proved that.

ball in returning punts also was a
potent factor in keeping a Maryville
complexion on the affair.

October 30, 1917

A company of 137 Maryville college
troops, commanded by Dr. Stevenson,
"Mother" Stevenson, and Miss Molly,
invaded the regions in the sector about
Sunshine last Friday. The troop train
arrived on the field of action about
10 o'clock, and after all unnecessary
baggage and the portable kitchens had
been properly located, the command
was given to take the strongly fortified
citadel of Mt. St. John.

The most noticeable thing about the

whole engagement was the high moral

of our troops. Miss Green and Professor

in Atlanta and the property still re-
mains in the family. Four years ago
granite slabs from Stone mountain
were brought to Maryville and placed
on the graves of Darius Hoyt and some
of hi3 children in the old New Provi-
dence cemetery.

During the professorship of the Rev.
Eagleton, the enrollment of the college
increased from forty to ninety. The
enrollment at the death of Professor
Hoyt in 1866 was 108. The college,
which was principally a theological
seminary at the time, included Greek,
Hedrew, archaelogy, ecclesiastical
history, and many theology courses in
its curriculum.

Rosenthal Comes To Maryville

From New York Performances

By WALTER WEST

The coming of Moritz Rosenthal, re-
nowned Polish pianist, to Maryville
college to appear in concert for his
third engagement of his current tour
is a singular honor for Maryville. It
is even more of an honor when it is
considered that his first two appear-
ances will be in Town Hall, New York,
and as guest artist of the National
Symphony, under the direction of Dr.
Hans Kindler, in Washington.

It was a raw November day, last
year, when the elderly gentleman,
strikingly independent despite his age,
walked down the gangplank of the
steamship Normandie and set foot on
American soil for the first time in seven
years. Years before, on his last tour of
America thousands had applauded him.
But now, there were many changes in
the great New World— perhaps it was
a new world in music also.

On the New York skyline rose the
mighty Empire State building— flying
over the bay were air liners that made
regular passenger trips to all points in
the nation. And some told him that in
San Francisco, a great bridge had been
built to span the Golden Gate. All
this had happened since last he had
played before an American audience.
Perhaps the music critics and concert

lovers had changed too. It may have
been with such thoughts that Moritz
Rosenthal came down the gangplank
to meet his American manager, Charles
L. Wagner.

But, on November 29, Town Hall in
New York city thundered with the
ovation the artist merited when he
played Beethoven's sonata, Opus IH,
and sensed the rest of the program as a
rare treat. Seasoned music critics re-
mained in their seats to hear the last
note of the final encore, despite possi-
bility of making city newspaper edi-
tions late. Then, such eminent figures
in music as Olin Downes, Samuel
Chotzinoff, W. J. Henderson and Pitt
Sanborn rushed off to their news-
paper offices to write the story that
thrilled the music world— Rosenthal
was as great as seven years before,
even greater.

But the Rosenthal of today is what
the past seventy odd years have made
him. Born in Lemberg, Poland on De-
cember 18, 1862, he early showed an
inclination toward piano artistry. At
the age of eight he began his formal
musical education under Galoth and
Mikuii. Two years later, he was enrolled
undei Raphael Joseffy in Vienna. Un-
der Joseffy's tutelage, he toured

M. C. Has Been On List Of

Organization For

25 Years

Declaring himself in favor of the
government in the Spanish conflict,
Lawrence Fernsworth, a correspondent
of the London Times who has been
voted "the most distinguished foreign
correspondent in the world," addressed
two of Dr. J. H. McMurray's sociology
classes Monday in Thaw hall. Ferns-
worth, who has been in Spain for seven
years, stated his stand on the war in
answer to a question put by Dr. Mc-
Murray.

Fernsworth stated that the Catholic
church, the Spanish royal house, and
the wealthier families of Spain have
long kept the lower classes in poverty
and degradation. These lower classes,
he said, have in recent years asserted
their rights by getting control of the
government. With the aid of General
Franco and his military clique the
former rulers are now attempting to
overthrow this legally constituted gov-
ernment set up by the Spanish masses.
Italy by means of her intervention
in Spain is seeking to gain control of
the Mediteranean, Fernsworth said.
Germany likewise is seeking control in
Spai. in order to have support from
the south in her expected war with
France.

Fernsworth has been visiting Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Blazer, Maryville alumni,
who live in town. Besides his reporting
for the London Times, Fernsworth
writes frequently for such prominent
magazines as Foreign Affairs, Current
History, The Economist (of London).
He is also a special writer for the New
York Times.

Distinguished Alumnus

Retires From Marines

Ten students have been nominated
by the student-faculty committee to
represent Maryville college in the
"Who's Who Among Students in
American Colleges and Universities," a
compilation of the biographies of the
outstanding students in America.

These students have been active
either in Y. M. or Y. W. work or as
officers of their class. They are Weldon
Baird, junior, Helen Bobo, junior,
Clara Dale Echols, senior, Constance
Johnson, senior, John Lancaster, senior,
Helen Maguire, senior, Marvin Minear,
junior, James Proffitt, senior, Fred
Rhody, junior, and Winford Ross,
senior.

This group which is selected can only
represent one and one half per cent of
the student body, and the students
must be from either the junior or
senior classes. The qualities on which
the students are nominated are chara-
cter, scholarship, leadership in extra-
curricular activities, and their possi-
bility of future usefulness to business
and society.

Last year the book contained repre-
sentatives from four hundred colleges.
Eight Maryville students were listed
among those. The book has been pub-
lished for four years and will appear
sometime in February.

For the past twenty-five years Mary-
ville college has been one of the seven-
teen approved schools of the Daughters
of the American Revolution which has
contributed money annually to the
Student Self -Help program. Other
well-known schools include Lincoln
Memorial, Berry Schools in Georgia,
Berea college, American International
college, and Hillside school in Massa-
chusetts. The reason for their interest
in Maryville is in the scholastic stand-
ing, religious emphasis, and character
building program. The Daughters of the
American Republic owns and supports
two schools for small children, one in
South Carolina and one in Alabama.

The Daughters o f the American
Revolution is a national organization
for women with members in America, ' awarded in 1929. For outstanding con-

Symphony Pathetique, and has been
called "One long, magnificently
orchestrated sob".

The recording used was made in
Europe by a Symphony orchestra con-

By OTTO PFLANZE

Upon hearing the word "revolution"
most Americans think of 1776, but not
Betty Seel, sophomore who has lived
most of her life in Santiago, Chile.
Betty doesn't have to delve into history
books to learn what revolutions are
like. She already knows. She's been in
one.

One morning when Betty passed
through the Santiago main streets to
school she found a mob shouting,
stamping, yelling. Betty thought it was
only a holiday celebration until she
caught sight of banners with the in-
scriptions, "Down with the Dictator!"
"Overthrow the government!" The stu-
dents at the University of Chile had
organized a sit-down strike, were pro-
testing against the tyranny of the gov-
ernment. Citizens were thronging to
their support.

Betty got to school before the rioting
began, but she sat down to her lessons
with sporadic rifle and machine gun
fire sounding in her ears. It wasn't
long before a man whom her parents
had sent came after her in a car. They
went to Betty's surburban home by an
around about way, avoiding the main
thoroughfares where the conflict was.
About half way home a man with
blood flowing from his shattered arm

(dashed out of a side street, came run-
ning by the car. Betty says she'll never
forget that look of pain and terror on
his face.

South Americans have devised (by
experience, no doubt) a very effective
means of breaking up revolutions,
Betty says. Every large city has a
troop of cavalry men armed with
lances. These cavalry men charge mobs
with lances leveled. When they see
those sharp points bearing down on
them, the revolutionists scatter; the
streets are cleared in a jiffy. The lan-
cers rarely transfix anyone, Betty says.
The revolutionists don't give them a
chance.

On this occasion, though, Betty says
the rioters won the revolution. The
Dictator fled the country in an ambu-
lance. He had aroused the fire of the
citizens by selling natural resources to
American speculators. Americans
aren't very popular down there. Betty
says. The United States has, during
the last hundred years, constantly
transgressed on the rights of her sister
American republics. Japan's imperial-
ism is making itself felt on her nearest
neighbor, China, while United States
imperialism has made itself felt on her
nearest neighbors, the South and Cen-
tral American republics.

NEW ENGLAND CLUB

The New England club's first meet-
ing of the year was held Thursday
evening in Professor Kenneth Lagers-

ing introductions and nominations of

November 15 was set as date for the

WANTED: THOUGHT!

We pride outselves on the fact that we are college-
bred. To most of us college gives a feeling of mental
superiority— the intellectually elite! Yet if we will stop
long enough to read our own minds, we find that what
we believe to be intellectual superiority is merely a good
coat of self- applied varnish.

The average college student today, whether he be at
Maryville or any other institution, lacks the courage to
think for himself. The so-called campus leader who
makes the loudest noise and distributes the largest dish
of so-called "applesauce" never fails to have an ardent
following. We are gullible to the point of super-saturation.

Student participation in college activities is very small
according to our numbers. If college is meant to make us
socially useful, then more than half of us will leave college
with an unfinished education. That we lack ideas is an
answer which belittles our own ability. Any man can
think creatively if be will give his bemuddled and
crammed brain half a chance.

We as college students owe it to our own self-respect
to develop mental individuality that will make each of us
mentally alert. Let every man be a leader in that when
he follows, he follows with his head and not his tongue.

Credendd...

Polonius

It has been less than twenty years since the day of the

Armistice which brought to an end four years of the most
brutal savagery of which man is capable. On the eve of
the nineteenth Armistice it is well for every being capable
of intelligent thought to consider the part he will play
in the next World War which can be but a few years
distant. The following Armistice Day Call was placed in
Polonius' hands by the president of the Maryville Y. M. C.
A. It is printed in its entirety. Please read it.

ARMISTICE DAY CALL
Fellow Students:

Armistice Day on the American campus must be a
signal for renewed efforts on behalf of peace this year.
With a major war in the Far East, with the Fascist invasion
continuing in Spain, American students must not despair
of peace but increase their efforts to restrain aggression
and keep America out of war. There are certain values*
and potentialities in American life that war would destroy;
therefore it is a matter of life and death to our generation
that the United States does not go to war. At the same
time we must bring into play on the world scene the great
power that our country might exercise for peace in co-
operation with other nations.

The wars raging in the world today are direct results
of the failure of nations to observe their international
obligations — failure that was inevitable as long as peace
treaties rested upon economic injustice. The immediate
task confronting the peace forces of our country and of the
world is the pacification of the world. But such pacification
will be short-lived unless far-reaching, long-time measures
of economic and social justice become its foundations.

The nineteenth anniversary of the end of the first
world war sees what may well be the beginning of the sec-
ond. In these emergency circumstances, the United Stu-
dent Peace Committee urges students to support the
following points in such ways they deem most effective:

1. Keep America out of war by exercising unceasing

vigilance against those groups that would utilize the

present crisis to involve the United States in wars:

groups that foster compulsory R. O. T. C. and large

military budgets; that promote fascism in the United

'.; States by the organization of vigilantes and Nazi

■' ;groups; thatJ exploit fpr "jirnperialist f purposes the

* genuine resentment of the comtnoi* people of this

country against the Japanese military clique. In

this connection we oppaae' the extension; of our naval

establishment in the Paejfie. • ;'I >/•>

2. Help the Chinese people in their struggle against
Japanese aggression, even though we sympathize
with the common people of Japan in their suffering.
To indicate our sympathy with Chinese people who
are victimized by Japanese violation of international
law, we should cooperate with those agencies which
are providing relief aid for Chinese students.

3. Support the demand for the withdrawal of foreign
troops in Spain, a demand which the Loyalist gov-
ernment heartily favors. If Germany, Italy, and
Portugal refuse this demand, urge our government
to extend its present embargo to those countries.

4. Cooperate with the Campaign for World Economic
Cooperation of the National Peace Conference since
economics is the basis of world politics and the
clue to lasting peace.

5. Urge that the United States make good her obliga-

tions assumed under the Kellogg-Briand Peace
Pact outlawing war and act with other signatories
of the pact to implement it as a means of preventing
and halting war. At the same time we urge that the
United States also make good her commitments in
the Nine Power Treaty which pledged her to con-
sult with other nations in respecting and maintain-
ing the territorial integrity of China.-- ., ; .
In the present troubled moment there is no easy,
simple road. Above all we must remain united be-
cause we, the students of this country, have no
interests which are separate from those of peace.
(Signed)

TALK OF THE WEEK . By Arlene Phelps

. :

?

This is your weekly commentator
bringing you up to the week news
from Maryville college and other
remote portions of the globe; Knows
all, all nose; hears all, all ears.

Flash! Bill McGill, notorious minis-
terial student, lectures to speech class
on how psychology will help him in
his future work. Harriet Miller, in the
next lecture of the evening, talks on
the same subject. Her future work?
Minister's wife, of course!

Frosh! Dr. Dave Briggs speaks to
the freshman class on "How to Study
in one Easy Lesson." Class emjollment
drops off for frosh feel that j they know
all that can be learned in .college.

Sam Fleming, devout Ijiple student,
ii) preparing for his test; on, the "Ten
Commandments "borrowed a Bible
from the profs desk. He flunked. Quot-
ing an innocent professor, "After
Samuel James returns the Bible, the
next step of the college will be to
teach him how to read."

College farm news: The Injuns have
again scalped the whiteman. Recently
the college bought several mules from
Chief Hawk and his son Tommy. Now
they want to see them back. The col-
lege agriculturists complain the mules
are useless because they can't under-
stand English."

Athletic news: Fred Tulloch and Jim
Proffitt, the little men of the football
team have begun to take in washing to
work their way through college. Re-
liable sources have it that this is the
first time they have done any washing
for a good many months.

Splash! Xha hard headed seniors have
had so muck fun diving' into. the swim-
ming pool that the executive com-
mittee of the faculty hast decided to
put a little water in the pool.

Fred Rhody, with last semester's 8$
average to prove his facts, climbed the
water tower October 25 demanding
that the professors make the courses
easier so that he might pass a few
subjects with a decent grade.

Much of the following was brazenly
stolen from the editor's desk. (He
really gave it to us in front of the
post-office, but how else would you
say it?)

We find more pithy sayings of the
wise and great of our day. The follow-
ing words of wisdom were actually
culled from the statements made by
Maryville college professors. It is in-
deed a great privilege to be living in
such a golden age when such pro-
fundities are fearlessly expounded in
the classroom.

Dr. Rodgers: "An empty milk bottle
is form without content."

Dr. Lloyd: "You will perceive as I
read that this is an English translation,
andn ot in the original Persian."

Dr. Orr: "Since his death he has
had to cancel his lecture tour." Why?

Dr. McMurray: "Stores would have
some difficulty if the medium of ex-
change were cattle."

Annual YMCA Banquet

THE HIGHLAND ECHO NOVEMBER 6, 1937

'

Basketball Coming Up

While the football team is still busy burying the sparse remains of the
1937 grid season, another sport looms on the horizon.

Those of you who like your sports indoors will greet the news of the be-
ginning of basketball practice with open ears. And that brings up the question
of what Coach Honaker is going to pull out of the bag this year to succeed the
team that was nosed out of the Smoky Mountain title by so narrow a margin
last year.

With four of the 1936-37 veterans left around whom to fashion a team
prospects are not so bad. One thing that may hurt is a lack of reserves of the
quality that prevailed a year ago. Men like Caney Stanley, Monk Myers, Gus
Hernandez, Don Parker, and Jim Etheredge are always on hand to help hold
a lead in the last minutes, or to throw pep into a tired quintet. This season two
of those fellows are absent, while one or two others will have graduated to the
first five. Which seems to leave the reserve problem up to untried material.

. The freshman crop will have to come through again this season, as it
has for the last two, if there is to be any strong chance of dethroning the Scot
jinx team — Carson-Newman. ' '• '■ ■

Then there is the most difficult task of replacing all-SMC center Lee
Hannah, who graduated last spring.

Maybe there's ample material to do the trick. Right now nobody knows.

Captain John "Junior" Odell, at times one of the best guards in this
section, and Howard McGill, the Highlanders sparkplug forward, will furnish
a large part of the answer. If they have the kind of season they are capable of
and if they get proper support, Scot opponents may well watch their step.

We think they will do just that

Night of the Big Wind

Tonight brings the toughest spot of the whole season for Maryville's
footballing boys.

They face one of the biggest, fastest, and most aggravatin' college teams
in loud hollerin' distance.

If the' attitude adopted by King players and supporters following the
Scots' 1936 upset win still prevails, then we may need baskets to bring our poor
Scotties off the Bristol turf this evening.

The Jackson-coached Tornodo is not only an exceedingly good bunch
of ball players; it. is a team with a grudge and a week's rest under its belt

Today we start the second round of

interclass game during the last four
years was made last Tuesday, when
the Seniors won the first game of their
college career, and that by a score of
40-0 against the Freshmen. Starring in
that game were Hernandez, Parker, and
Black, the trio that joined the class
last year coming from Mars Hill and
Hiwassee. The most hard fought game
of the year was that between the
Juniors and Sophomores on Thursday
of this week when the Juniors went
into a slump to let the Sophomores
creep up on them during the last five
minutes of the game to tie it up 6-6.
This game witnessed the first, and
probably the last, rush play through
center, when with the ball on the three
yard line, Luxton for the Sophomores
attempted to put it over through cen-
ter, but was held for, a gain of only
one yard.

Definition: A referee is the one ydU
see running around the field with a
whistle. He certainly belongs to the
Phylum Cordata, but whether a verte-
brate or an invertebrate is still a prob-
lem baffling the modern scientist His
station in life is very evidently lower
than that of a rat, and his whole pur-
pose for living is to provide for one or
the other team, usually the losing one,
I something on which to give vent to all
the passions stored up in the human
breast.

A game which may have an impor-
tant bearing on the 1937 Smoky Moun-
tain title will take place at Bristol to-
night when the King tornado plays
host to the Scots in their renewal of
an old rivalry.

Besides being an attempt on the past
of the Tornado to even the score for
their 16-14 upset here last year, the
game continues the keen rivalry of
long standing between coaches Pedie
Jackson of King and L. S. Honaker of
Maryville.

Honaker holds the upper hand at
present with his team's 1936 win, but
King will rank as heavy favorite to-
night.

The Tornado has no more impressive
Loop record than have the Scots; how-
ever they have to their credit a 26-0
win over the perennially strong
Emory-Henry Wasps and a 12-0
triumph at Tennessee Wesleyan's ex-
pense. In the conference King has lost
one game, an 8-6 affair with the sur-
prising Cumberland Bulldogs, and was
held to a 6-6 victory by East Tennes-
see Teachers. These figures seem to in-
dicate that King is an in-and-out team.
If that is the case they should be hot
this week, which marks their first ap-
pearance since the Cumberland disas-
ter.

Maryville, who trounced the above-
mentioned Bulldogs 20-6 last Friday
while King rested, held an unblemished
conference record, contrary to the story
recently published in a Knoxville
morning paper. They have defeated
Tusculum, Milligan, and Cumberland,
amassing 65 points to the opposition's
13.

The same boys who played the main
roles in these three wins will be in
good shape for the test Saturday.

Junior Odell, Scottie end, holds a
big part of the Maryville chances in
his talented toe. His long spirals have
kept every foe at bay this year with
the exception of Chattanooga, against
whom he had a forty yard average.

Odell may also share passing duties
with freshmen J. D. Hughes and
Scottie Honaker, all of whom have
been on the tossing end of several long
ones this year. The Scots' most adroit
receiver has been end Jim Etheredge.

The passing game put up by these
boys, coupled with the all-round work
of quarter back Al Burris, may give the
big Bristol team trouble.

According to Scot coaches "King has
the best team we have seen in the
conference this year. But maybe they'll
have an off-day."

The lone Bulldog score came in the

Maryville showed more ability to

Highlanders to Oppose
Teachers Next Wetek ""' "

■-. • :."'>

More grief follows the King game
when the East Tennessee Teachers, one
of the foramost of Highlander ^rivals,
oppose Maryville at Johnson City next
week.

If Maryville should survive tonight's
battle, the fray with Teachers, other-
wise known as Buccaneers, will provide
the last hurdle in the way to an SMC
championship for the Honakermen.

Teachers have lost so far to Appala-
chian by a most lopsided score and to
King, 7-6.

On that basis the Scots will probably
be favored to wipe out the marks of
last year's 2-0 defeat.

The swimming team is gradually
rounding into shape as several fresh-
men are showing promise of developing
into varsity team material.

Notable among the newcomers is
Paul Akana, whose specialty is the
breast stroke. John Rippeth, another
freshman, is showing promise in the
backstroke.

No meets have been definitely
scheduled; however, Coach Fishbach
said that arrangements are being made
with Tusculum, and the University of
Tennessee.

Coach Fishbach stated definitely that
the Fifth Annual Water Carnival would
be held Saturday, November 27. The
Water Carnival is put on every year at
this time by the swimming team, for
the purpose; of raising money to de-
fray the expenses of the team.

Junior-Senior Soccer

Team Beats Frosh, 5-2

On Tuesday the junior-senior soccer
team of the women's point system beat
the freshman team by 5-2. This was
the last game of three played in the
soccer tournament. The sophomores
played their two games first, winning
both of them and thus becoming the
soccer champions.

The women have now started aerial
darts and they will play their tourna-
ment next Thursday.

The juniors and sophomores, favor-
ites of the interclass football tourna-
ment, fought to a 6-6 deadlock Thurs-
day afternoon at Wilson Field.

The game was scoreless until the
third quarter, when the juniors drew
first blood as Fred Rhody shagged a
forward pass from Colombo, who had
thrilling rally late in the fourth guar-
received a lateral from Crane. In a
ter, the sophomores placed the ball in
scoring position when Frank Morrow
heaved a long pass to Wickland who
stepped out of bounds on the two yard
line. Two plays later the sophs scored
when Morrow tossed another pass to
Wickland in the junior's end zone. With
only two minutes left the juniors failed
to score, and the game ended 6-6.

Wicklund was the outstanding player
for the sophomores. Colombo,
Czepiel, Baird, and McCaskie, played
well for the juniors.

This game still leaves the juniors in
first place, they having lost none, and
tied only one. The sophomores have
not lost any, but they have tied two.

Sophs 12— Seniors 12

In an exciting interclass football
game October 29, the sophomores and
seniors played to a 12-12 deadlocok.
The game, played on the practice field,
;Was full of thrills for the handful of
spectators who were present. '

The score stood 6-0 in favor of the
sophomores in the -thud period when
"Lefty" Hernandez intercepted a
sophomore pass from "Rusty" Wick-
land, and ran thirty yards for a
touchdown. The score near the end of
the third quarter was 6-6, when Her-
nandez received a sophomore punt and
lateraled it to Don Parker, who ran
40 yards for a second senior touch-
down. The attempted pass for extra
point fell short, and at the end of the
third quarter the score was 12-6, favor
of the seniors.

In the middle of the fourth quarter
the sophomores tied up the score when
"Rusty" Wicklund heaved a long pass
to Woodring, who ran fitfy yards for
a second sophomore touchdown. With
the score 12-12, the sophomores
couldn't break the tie when they
failed to make good the extra point.
The game ended in a tie with the ball
in mid-field.

Blow!

Blow!

The seniors turned in the big sur-
prise of the season last Tuesday, when
they defeated the bewildered freshmen
40-0. This was the seniors first victory
of their college career.

The seniors scored early, and kept
right on scoring throughout the game.
The victors kept the ball in freshmen
territory most of the time, and com-
pleted more forward passes than any
other team has this season.

Win Ross was the big senior threat,
as he intercepted several frosh passes,
and ran for long gains, some of the
runs ending in the freshmen's end zone
for senior touchdowns.

Don Parker played a good game for
the seniors, receiving passes for several
long gains. Hernandez, R. Talmage, and
Black also played well for the seniors.
For the freshmen, Findlay, Van Blar-
com, and Lloyd, stood out.

By winning this game, the seniors
proved to have a team capable of de-
feating the best of them. We look for-
ward to some good games when the
seniors tackle the other teams again.

Varsity basketball practice started
last week under the direction of
"Lefty" Hernandez, and Howard Mc-
Gill. Approximately twenty new candi-
dates turned out for the first practice.
With only four lettermen back from
last year's squad, there is plenty of
room for new material.

Those returning from the 1936-37
squad are Junior Odell, Hernandez,
McGill, and Weldon Baird, lettermen.
Odell and Hernandez are guards, while
McGill and Baird are forwards.

One of the big problems facing coach
Honaker this year is the task of re-
placing Lee Hannah, all -conference
center for the last two seasons. Hannah
one of the most talented hardwood
performers to play at Maryville in re-
cent years, was lost last spring by
graduation. His scoring average of fif-
teen points a game over a three year
period will be hard for any man to
duplicate.

The pivot post and most of the re-

crop of new men.

KENTUCKY KERNEL

The University of Kentucky recently
sponsored a "Hollywood premiere" at
a local theatre. Students were nomi-
nated as doubles of famous movie
stars, and those nominees who suited
their suggested roles were driven to
the theatre in limousines to take
parts in a stage show. Stars who were
doubled included Kay Francis, Janet
Gaynor, Simone Simon, Claudette Col-
bert, Robert Taylor, Clark Gable,
Tyrone Power, Eddie Cantor, Laurel
and Hardy, and Ned Sparks.
WARD-BELMONT HYPHEN

Ward- Belmont college is beginning
a series of forums for the purpose of
discussing timely questions. Questions
to be discussed will be chosen by stu-
dent representatives. Outside speakers
will lead the discussions as often as
possible. Some of the questions which
the Forum will consider are: "How
does college weaken or strengthen
religious faith?" "How shall we stand
on war?", "What about life after
death?", and "What do we owe our-
selves?"
ORANGE AND BLUE

In a poll taken at Carson -Newman
college the majority of men and women
students preferred brunettes to blondes.
Both men and women stated that eyes
were the first thing they noticed about
the opposite sex. The women admired
sincerity and disliked conceit most in
a man. The men admired sincerity and
disliked affectation most in a woman.
THE SPECTATOR

Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, former
Minister to Denmark, was the first to
appear on the lyceum program of the
Mississippi State College for Women.
Mrs. Owen spoke on "This Business of
Diplomacy."
FLORIDA FLAMBEAU

"Pride and Prejudice" was presented
recently by the faculty and members
of the speech department at the Florida
State College for Women.

Beginning in February, students at
F. S. C. W. who are outstanding in
scholastic achievement may take un-
limited cuts.
AT RANDOM

American university coach, Gus
Welch, has trained a co-ed to do the
drop-kicking for the points after
touchdowns. This is the first time a
girl has ever played in college foot-
ball. Her identity is being kept secret.
So far the University has had no
opportunity to exhibit the prowess of
their kicking co-ed. Reason — no
touchdowns.

Europe and won acclaim wherever he
appeared. So great was the enthusiasm
for his playing in the Roumanian
court that the king appointed him as
court pianist when he was but four-
teen years old. It was this appointment
that led to Franz Liszt's interest in the
youth. Four years under Liszt gave
him acquaintance with the greatest
technique of all time, and eight years
more at the University of Vienna and
in the court of Emperor Franz Josef
of Austro-Hungary made him the
outstanding concert pianist of the day.
And such he still remains. His return
last year to America after an absence
of seven years confirmed his triumphs
on forty-seven American tours gone
past. This year — his forty-ninth Ameri-
can tour — found him booked solid long
before he had applied for his passport.
The fire and passionate super-vir-
tuoso style of Rosenthal is a far cry
from the Swiss bell ringers and lan-
tern slide lectures of Lyceum Series in
years past. No student should neglect
to avail himself of the opportunity to
hear Moritz Rosenthal — an opportunity
which is his for the fifteen cent
reservation fee plus his student activity
fee, but which would cost from two
to twelve dollars elsewhere.

Interclass Football

the freshmen on edge most of the
time. "Rusty" Wicklund, Les Luxton,
and T. Etheredge, also played well for
the sophomores. The outstanding
freshman was Warren Van Blarcom,
who was tossing those passes right and
left, he also played a nice game back-
ing up the freshmen line. Hall, D. Tal-
mage, and Akana, all played good
games on the freshmen line.

Juniors 19 — Seniors 0

The powerful junior aggregation con-
tinued their drive for the interclass
championship honors as they defeated
the seniors 19-0, last Saturday after-
noon. The juniors have yet to lose a
game in the Y. M. C. A. interclass
schedule.

The combination of Baird, Colombo,
and McCaskie, were the juniors big
guns, as they proved to be the scorers
of the afternoon. McCaskie intercepted
a senior pass, and ran 50 yards for
one junior touchdown. Baird, receiving
a pass from Colombo, scored another,
while Colombo scored the third when
he received Crane's pass.

The juniors are living up to pre-
season predictions as they are knock-
ing down all opposition in front of
them. However the season is only
half over, and there is plenty of
opportunity for one of the other
teams to pull and upset and defeat the
juniors.

GERMAN CLUB

Members of the German club met
Friday evening in Alpha Sigma hall.
Since the play "Hansel and Gretel",
which was to have been presented, was
postponed until the next meeting, the
time was spent in singing German
songs.

The relay broadcast of the Maryville-
Teachers football game heard yester-
day afternoon in the college chapel was
the first such attempt made at Mary-
ville. The play-by-play description
originated at the municipal stadium in
Johnson City, Tenn., where the t
Smoky Mountain conference foes were
playing. Contributions of five local
merchants and the student body made
the broadcast possible.

Dr. J, H. McMurray, president of the
Smoky Mountain conference and Mr.
Fred Proffitt, college treasurer, assisted
by Prof. George Howell, arranged the
broadcast. Maxwell Cornelius, whose
appeal in chapel Thursday was re-
sponsible for the student contributions,
and Glenn Young were stationed at the
field at Johnson City. Their telephone
description was received at the college
by Walter West and Prof. Howell and
rebroadcast over the amplifying system
loaned by the chemistry department.
The local merchants contributing half
! the telephone cost were Proffitt's,
Norton Hardware, Elder's, Pop Turner,
Webb Studio, and Capitol Theatre.

In order that more students might
hear the broadcast, all afternoon classes
were dismissed.

NATURE CLUB

Carlos Campbell, publicity director
of the Smoky Mountain Conservation
association, spoke to the Nature club
Thursday evening on the topic, "Flora
and Fauna of the National Park." Mr.
Campbell said that the Great Smoky
National park contains the nation's
largest and finest virgin hardwood
forest, as well as the largest area of
virgin spruce. In the Smokies, there
are over 140 varieties of trees which
are native to this section. Forty kinds
of orchids have been identified within
the limits of the Park.

Mr. Campbell admitted that there
are comparatively few animals in the
park at present. Plans are under way,
however, to restore some of the animal
life which is native to the Smoky
Mountains.

Mrs. Lloyd Honored At
Tea by Pearsons Women

A total of 445 students and faculty
members have thus far signed con-
tracts for the purchase of 1938 Chilho-
weans, at four dollars the copy. Most
of these contracts were signed after the
chapel exercises Tuesday morning.

The contract is a pledge to pay for
the Chilhowean in three payments: one
dollar, at least, must be paid by this
coming Wednesday; two dollars more
by the time second semester bills are
paid; and the final dollar at the time
of the delivery of the annual. The four
dollars may be paid at once in a lump
sum, if that is desired.

Included in the 445 who have ordered
books are 109 seniors, 74 juniors, 115
sophomores, 142 freshmen and 5 faculty
members.

One hundred seventy-six persons
have already made payments on their
books. Of the 161 who have paid the
1.00 advance deposit 3 are faculty
members, 48 seniors, 30 juniors, 34
sophomores and 46 freshmen.

The following 12 have paid the total
price of 4.00: 2 faculty members, 2
seniors, 1 junior, 5 sophomores, 2 fresh-
men. One sophomore and one junior
have paid 3.00, while one senior paid
2.00.

The senior section of the annual,
which has been open for portraits since
November 2, will be closed Tuesday,
November 30. At that time the junior
section will be opened. The editor,
Bruce Morgan, warns that the class
sections can not be held open after the
deadlines have passed.

"For the sake of good portrait photo-
graphy itself, it is wise to go early for
your sittings," advises Morgan. "Better
photographs result from freedom from
haste in photographing."

Those who are having their pictures

made by any photographer other than

Webb must be certain that a 3 1-2 by

5 gloss print can be put in the hands of

Campbell, M. C. Students,
Go To Economics Meetings

Professor Claude A. Campbell and
several students of the economics de-
partment attended the tenth annual
conference of the Southern Economic
association in Knoxville last Friday
and Saturday. The purpose of this con-
ference was to discuss problems related
to the economic welfare of the south-
ern states, and it was open to all who
are interested in such problems.

Some of the more important subjects
discussed at the meeting were social
security, economic planning by the
government, labor, transportation, the
T. V. A., public utilities, and prices.

Among the prominent speakers at the
conference were David E. Lilienthal.
director of the Tennessee Valley
authority, and Calvin B. Hoover of
Duke university, president of the
association.

To Be On Nov. 18

About Twenty Expected for

This Annual Meeting

At Maryville

The annual fall meeting of the board
of directors of Maryville college will
take place November 18, at 9 a. m. in
the president's office. The reports of
the president, treasurer, and the com-
mittees of directors will be read in the
meeting which will be presided over by
the^chairman, Judge S. O. Huston of
Knoxville, who graduated in the class
of 1898.

There are two meetings of these
directors every year, one which takes
place in the fall when the general con-
ditions of the college are reviewed, re-
ports given, and officers of the directors
elected for the coming year. The other
is on commencement day when de-
grees are conferred, and faculty ap-
pointments are made.

The directors who number 36 come
from various sections of the country
and from other countries. Tennessee,
Ohio, New Jersey, Michigan, Alabama,
Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Florida,
North Carolina, and Washington, D. C.
are among the states, and West Africa
is the foreign country. Because of the
distance that it would be necessary for
some of these men to travel, it is
thought that only about 20 will be
present.

Tickets For Play
On Sale Next Week

"Pride and Prejudice" Made
Hit In New York

Rosenthal, Polish Pianist,
To Give Concert In Voorhees
Chapel, Tuesday, 8; 15

Tickets for "Pride and Prejudice",
College* Players production to be pre-
sented in Voorhees chapel December
3, will be placed on sale next week,
Roy Talmage, business manager, an-
nounced today. The play, a drama-
tization by Helen Jerome of Jane
Austen's novel of the same name, en-
joyed a long run in New York follow-
ing its premiere in 1935.

Lois Black will play the part of
Elizabeth Bennet, a part portrayed by
Adrienne Allen in the original pro-
duction. Gordon Bennet, experienced
Maryville thespian, is to be Mr. Darcy,
the role of Colin Keith-Johnson in the
New York cast. Other leading parts
selected by Mrs. Nita E. West, drama-
tic director, are Mr. Bennet, Donald
Stevens; Jane Bennet, Carol Ward;
Lydia Bennet, Arda Walker; Mr. Bing-
ler, Russell Hirsch; and Mrs. Bennet,
Muriel Mann.

The setting of the three act play is
in the atmosphere of a nineteenth
century drawing room. The story con-
cerns Mrs. Bonnet's desire to marry off
her three daughters, Jane, Elizabeth,
and Lydia. The central dramatic situ-
ation is the conflict between the pride
of Elizabeth Bennet and the prejudice
of Mr. Darcy. The New York Times
hailed the original play two years ago
as "a shimmering and decorus satire".
William Lyon Phelps characterized the
play as "the best comedy in New
York", a view shared by The Common-
wealth which called it "one of the few
smash hits of the season."

Freshmen Given Ratings
On Aptitude Tests Tues.

Tuesday morning the freshmen were
given their standings in their class as
determined by the Scholastic Aptitude
test, prepared by the psychology de-
partment, which they took October 1.
The test was given so that each student
might discover how well he is equipped
by capacity and preparation to carry
on college work, and in the hope that
an understanding of his own aptitudes
will help him to make a better adapta-
tion here on the campus.

Fund For Hammond Organ
For Chapel Reaches $655

The fund for the purpose of pur-
chasing a $1500 Hammond organ to be
placed in the chapel has reached the
sum of six hundred and fifty-five dol-
lars. To give every one an opportunity
to contribute to this fund a lock box
will be placed in Pearson's lobby and
Thaw hall on Monday. Tuesday, and
Wednesday of next week. Any amount
will be acceptable. This will be the
I only method of solicitation used.

One of the most worthwhile works
carried on by students of the college,
is that being done by volunteers who
work at the various mission points in
Blount County and several of the ad-
joniing counties.

At the present time there are ap-
proximately forty students doing
various types of minstry at twvnty
mission points. Five carloads of stu-
dents go from the school «ach week
to work at these missions and rural
churches. Some are supervising Sun-
day Schools and Mission; others teach
Bible classes. Some of the students
have lined themselves up with young
peoples work and are directing various
groups or leading in club work. One
carload of students goes to various
mountain missions on Saturday after-
noon to carry on week day religious
education programs. Several of the men
have regular preaching appointments,
and in vhese ways the needs of the
various points are met by these student
workers.

The plan is the outgrowth of the
work that was done in former years by
■students in the local Sunday Schools
and Young Peoples organizations. In
recent years, Dr. H. E. Orr, head of
the Religious Education Department of
the College, conceived the idea of ex-
tending the services of the students to
the surrounding rural areas. He real-

Barnwarming To Be
Held November 25

Election of King and Queen
To Be Next Week

Artist Comes to Maryville

On Forty-Ninth Tour

Of America

LAST PUPIL OF LISZT

Program Consists of Four

Separate Groups of

Numbers

The annual college "barnwarmin' "
sponsored by the Y. W. C A. will be
presented in the Alumni gymnasium.
Thanksgiving evening, November 25 at
8:15 p. m. according to an announce-
ment by Winnie Berst, who is in charge
of the program and all other arrange-
ments.

Every year on Thanksgiving day the
Y. W. C. A. has the "barnwarmin" at
which the feature event is the presen-
tation of the king and queen. The
royalty for this years program will be
elected by the student body in chapel
early next week but the result of the
election will not be announced until
the program. It is also planned to have
the runners-up in the election serve as
the court, making it a little more ela-
borate than it has been in years past.

The theme for the "barnwarmin' "
will be an old fashioned shewboat.
Booths will be sponsored by the four
different classes and the faculty. The
four societies on the hill will each give
a program.

Other students working with Winnie
on the program are Walter West, pro-
gram chairman; Sara Bolton, booth
chairman; John Wintermute. in charge
of decorations; Glenn Young, in charge
of the lighting: and Win Ross, business
manager from the Y. M. C. A.

Moriz Rosenthal, world famous
pianist on his forty-ninth American
tour, plays in Voorhees chapel Tuesday
evening at 8:15. Mr. Rosenthal will
arrive in Knoxville from Washington
Monday.

While critics from all over East Ten-
nessee hail the coming of Rosenthal the
greatest achievment of the fall season,
ticket sales both to students and other
patrons have been more than satis-
factory. Visitors will hear Rosenthal,
coming from all parts of East Tennessee
to attend the concert.

Rosenthal arrived in New York early
this week and played in concert at
Town Hall on Armistice Day. On Sun-
day afternoon, he appears as guest
artist with Dr. Hans Kindler's National
Symphony in Washington D. C. He
leaves immediately for Knoxville and
Maryville. His program at Maryville
will be the same as the one played in
New York on his first appearance of
his current tour.

The program consists of four
separate groups of numbers. The first
-group consists of "Aria Variazoni" by
Handel; "Tambourin" by Rameau;
"Gavotte" by Padre Martini; and two
sonatas by Scarlatti. The second por-
tion of the program is the long but
beautifully descriptive "Wanderer Fan-
tasy" by Franz Schubert. The third
group will consist of works by Chopin,
five preludes, two mazurkas, "Valse,
Opus 42," and "Scherzo, Opus 31". Fol-
lowing the intermission, the concluding
group will be composed of two selec-
tions from Liszt— the teacher— and two
numbers by Rosenthal— the pupil —
played now by the pupil at the age of
seventy-five. The Liszt numbers are,
"Forgotten Valse" and "Etude trans-
cendante in F minor". The Rosenthal
.numbers are "Papillons" and "Fantasy
on themes from Gounod's 'Faust' ".
The latter number was composed by
the artist early this year.

A rare treat is in store as critics
praise Rosenthal's artistry. Neville d
'Esterre, noted French connoiseur of
music, in his recent articles on "Seven
Pianists" in "The American Music
Lover" calls Rosenthal "the greatest
living master of rhythm— a man of wit
and wisdom— the equal of the greatest
of them all— the master of touch that
suggests sunshine, and fire, and wind,
and rain."

Tickets will go on sale at the door
of the chapel at 7 p. m. and the doors
will open at 7:15 p. m. No student tic-
kets will be sold without activity
cards.

Dr. Edward Bleakney, minister of the

for Peace and Social Action, gave
"World Peace" as the theme of his ad-

President Ralph W. Lloyd introduced
Mr. Neal Spahr, president of the Knox-

Bleakney, who told of the forces in the
world tod."?y for and against war. On
the side of force are nationalism,
militarism, munitions makers, tariffs,
and economic problems. On the side of
peace are travels, the will to believe in
peace, and religion. The Rev. Bleakney
challenged us with the following:
"Think and live in the world; for the
world is one, and we want the edm
youth of our world to lead and work in

Class Sponsors

Our respective hat is off to the 1938 Chilhowean for
its decision to end the farce of a beauty section for the
annual. Instead, a class sponsor will be chosen by each
of the four classes on the basis of her leadership, person-
ality, and work in her respective class.

It seems that the one having the most friends, regard-
less of her looks, has always been elected one of the
campus beauties. Lack of judgment has been evident in
some of the selections previously made.

One of the causes for poor selections has been that
many students fail to vote, and thus a comparatively small
clique has managed to railroad its candidate through.

Changing the name of this section, and changing the
basis for selection, perhaps will not guarantee that the
one most representative will be chosen; but at least it
will provide a name that will come nearer fitting than
'Inat'of "class beauty."

■+-*

FEW STUDENTS REALIZE that only through the
outside sale of tickets is the excellent Maryville Artist
series we enjoy each year possible. The total student
activity appropriation cannot pay for even one artist of
the calibre of John Charles Thomas. The student criticism
that some have not been able to obtain seats for any
given concert is not in accord with the facts. In the
whole series' hisory no student has missed a concert be-
cause there was no seat remaining; in fact several times
the Knoxville and Maryville demand has been refused,
only to leave many valuable seats vacant at curtain
time because students failed to take advantage of their
privilege.

THE DAY THAT ONE CENT is paid to Professor
Professor George Howell or any of his assistants for their
hard, thankless work in making concert arrangements
and handling reservations they may ptvhaps be criticized
fairly. There is no seat in Voorhees chapel from which it
is not possible to receive full benefit from any perfor-
mance. The rear seats of the chapel are closer to the
stage than seats costing twice as much in other concerts
by the same artist. The best seats are those in the balcony,
a fact borne out by the demands of faculty members and
outsiders alike, yet these seats have always been reserved
for students only.

TWO SUGGESTIONS MIGHT BE MADE to the ticket
managers, however. Sales should be opened at times when
there is no chance of any class being detained at a chapel
meeting. Freshmen and seniors were both at a disadvan-
tage in this first sale. Secondly, out of fairness to those
who do wait in line, no single individual should be per-
mitted to obtain more than two or three tickets. If he and
his friends wish to sit togeher, let his friends stand in line
with him. It seems to be a waste of time for more people,
but the speed of the line is necessarily limited anyhow,
and under a different system no person near the front
of a line could gather the orders of all his friends to the
detriment of those behind him.

D7 STUDENTS STILL FEEL that the Maryville college
Artist series should be limited to the college group then
we can return at once to the vaudeville and Swiss bell-
ringer type of entertainment. Our series at Maryville is
recognized as being second to none in the state. Not
only is it our best advertisement and our best medium
for creating community and regional goodwill toward the
college, but. it is a rare cultural opportunity which the
students whose horizon is not bounded by Coiirt street
and the college hospital will recognize.

Campus Activities

Desire to become a campus atellite has caused many
students to enter into more activities than they have time
or ability to do well.

The problem would seem to center around the indivi-
dual's belief in the relative place of extra-curricular activi-
ties in his development. It is a truism that those who are
engaged in the most outside activities are usually those
who have the less need for them.

Importance of extra-curricular activities is generally
conceded and should not be too greatly disparaged. But
should they have first place in a curriculum planned to
give the student the best balanced program?

Our belief is that it is not 60 much a question of
extra-curricular activities as it is the number of these
activities. Maryville does not provide so great an oppor-
tunity along this line, although they are seemingly ade-
quate for this type of college.

Recognition as a campus leader has caused many
sophomoric upperclassmen to martyr themselves on the
altar of extra-curricular activities. A point system similar
to that advocated in the Echo- of October 29 would do
much to check ttuVcondittonV11^ i 'r

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Good team looks bad

Regardless of what happens from now on (this is being written before
the scrap with Teachers), the 1937 Maryville grid team has earned its place
among the best produced by the Mountain circuit this season.

They beat a really good team at Bristol, the 20-0 score notwithstanding.

But it wasn't the victory that left such a pleasant tingle in the spines
of Maryville supporters. It was rather the manner in which that victory was
accomplished.

The thoroughness with which the Scotties throttled every offensive effort
of the Tornado is a tribute to the efficiency of both coaches and players.

You may notice elsewhere on the page that King's Mr. Allison emerged
from the evening's festivities with a net gain of minus thirteen yards from
scrimmage. '

What a punk back he must be, you say.

But the funny thing about it is that Allison is admittedly one of the
loop's best ball carriers. He is bigger and faster than any halfback on the
Maryville squad. He was a threat at all times Saturday night.

Yet he was rudely dumped for a net loss of thriteen yards.

The reason is that the Highlanders were continually doping the Tornado
plays and spilling them on the line of scrimmage. They never gave Allison a
chance to get past the line and into an open field.

The other King players were treated in like manner.

Alltogether it was a near-perfect job of play analysis and slam-bang
work on the part of the Scotties.

So it seems the Tornado must wait another year for its belated revenge.

Ashes

And while we are on the subject, a squib from the King College Kayseean
of November 5 might not be amiss. It follows:

"Should the King players remember how close they came to winning last
year's Maryville game and the circumstances, the Maryville team will be in
for a tough night Saturday."

Which refers, of course to game won on Wilson field by the Scots 16-14,
in which King was stopped inches short of the goal line on the last play of

the game.

It seems there is still a question in the minds of a few King players and
fans as to the validity of the decision which disallowed a final King score and
left Maryville the winner.

The decision was made and later confirmed by competent officials.

The incident should be considered closed.

In Brief

Thoughts while trying to think Why doesn't Maryville give us a

break and elect a fewbrine cheer leader or two for the sake of variety, 6r
something. Perhaps the" Alabama lasses prompted the thought, which was
expressed in our presence a few days ago did you notice how cute
Harlan Howard Dizriey looked sitting on the Maryville High bench as Steve
Boretsky's boys whipped -■ Carter Thurtday? ^Wender if his presence on the
bench brought on the current winning streak of the Scots. Too bad he
didn't make that Chattanooga trip don't miss the battle between
the Maryville scrubs and Knox High's Bee team. Anything can happen and
probably will, as the sindicate boys often tell us if we need to fill any
space below here it will have to be our picks in today's games. You almost got
it last week. ___

BUC PASS IN LAiST PERIOD BEATS SCOTS

Juniors Win Two,
Hold Class Lead

Seniors Twice Play Tie
Performances

Juniors 2 — Sophs 0

Starring the famous Colombo, Mc-
Caskie, Baird combination, the juniors
routed the fighting sophomore squad by
a decisive score of 2 to 0, Thursday
afternoon on the practice field.

The lonesome two points came as a
result of a safety made by the juniors.
Early in the first period the juniors
surrounded the sophomores deep in
their own territority. Wicklund faded
back in an attempt to get he sopho-
mores out of the hole, but on a bad
pass from center' he slipped, and was
caught behind his own goal by
Colombo.

Never did either team seriously
threaten the other's goal, but the ball
made several deep trips into both of
the team's territories.

During the last minutes of play the
sophomore squad made a final bid for
supremacy with a series of long passes.
Once Marrow bounced a long heave,
into the end zone, off Wicklund's chest,
but it failed to make the final connec-
tion.

Marrow, Wicklund, Ethridge and
Herrick turned in above par work for
the sophomore squad, but they lacked
a scoring punch which would have
beenvery beneficial more than once.
Both teams took to the air at the open-
ing of the game and kept most of the
plays above the ground.

Approximately eight sophomore
routers turned out to cheer their team
on, to victory* but . they ended ^by
threatening before . the final whistle
blew. Several feminine sophomores
raved particularly for Herrich, but
even this failed to inspire the sopho-
moreteam. Upholding the spirit of the
juniors was Rhody, Jussley and Proc-
tor, who also played and obtained much
better results. '

Seniors 6 — Fresh 6

Senior and freshman football elevens,
under-dogs of the college loop, battled
to a 6 to 6 tie on Wilson field, Tues-
day afternoon.

Neither of the teams got off to a
spectacular opening, but the freshmen
chalked up the first six points in the
early part of the second half. Lloyd
carried the ball across on a long end
run which began at the senior thirty-
yard line, which was Made possible by
the brilliant blocking of Van Blarcom.
' Fighting to gain verigance for the
previous defeat by the upper classmen,
the freshmen kept the seniors in their
own territority a major portion of the
game. Grasping that last chance, how-
ever, the seniors opened up in the last
minutes of play with a wild aerial
barrage. Parker took a couple of pot-
shots to get his bearings and then
dropped one to Roy Talmage, who
crossed the goal in the final minute of
play.

All attempts for extra points were
unsucessful.

The freshmen displayed a winning
type of football which was for superior

Four 1937 Lettermen Form

Basis of Scot

Quint

The varsity basketball squad, of ap-
proximately twenty men, finished the
second week of practice this Friday.
Only four lettermen and five sub-
stitutes returned from last year's squad.
Odell, Hernandez, H. Magill, and W.
Baird, are the four returning letter-
men. The five substitutes, who are ex-
pected to see lots of service this year,
are E. Black, James Etheredge, Keith
Augenstein, Russ Colombo, and Dan
Magill.

The rest of the squad, which is com-
posed mostly of freshmen, is rather
green for varsity competition this year.
Outstanding freshmen are, Robert
Peters, who came from Friendsville,
Tenn., where he played varsity high
school basketball for four years. John
Kerr, who hails from Greenback High
School in Tennessee, where he played
three years on the varsity squad, and
Jim Miller, who graduated from Sur-
goinsville High School. Miller played
four years of varsity high school bas-
ketball.

The names of the men out for berths
on the team are Keith Augenstein,
Donald Borne, C. L. Franklin Jr.,
Martin Gastrock, Keith Hall, Gus Her-
nandez, John Kerr, Kenneth Lommes,
Dan Magill, Howard Magill, J. Odell,
Robert Peters, Gibson Smith, D. Steak-
ley, Weldon Baird, Russ Colombo, Jim
Miller, Ellworth Black, Jim Etheredge,
and Fioyd_Porter. .

to their previous preformances, Lloyd,
Peterson, G. Findlay played well dur-
ing the entire game for the freshmen.
J. Miller, the freshman star of yore,
was out of most of the game because
of injuries received in attempting to
practice tackleing in his room.

R. Talmage, Parker, Black and Woods
were the outstanding players for the
seniors.

Juniors 6 — Frosh 0

Continuing their march for cham-
pionship honors of the interclass lea-
gue, the powerful juniors managed to
squeeze out a 6-0 victory over the
fighting freshmen last Saturday.

The juniors scored in the first
quarter when Omer Judy, roving cen-
ter, intercepted a freshmen, pass, and
ran, twenty yards for the juniors only
score. From here to the final play, the
game was one of the hardest fought of
the schedule.

The freshmen deserve lots of credit
for holding down the 6trong junior
aggregation to one touchdown. The
freshmen held back the juniors several
times when they threatened to score.

The freshmen had Gordon Findlay as
their star for the afternoon. Colombo
was the juniors big threat, he punted
the upper classmen out of danger
several times. McCaskie and Baird also
played their usual good game.

The juniors are in first place in the

13-10 Upset by Teachers Blasts

Highlanders' Hopes of SMC Title

Passes by Garland and Fleming Ruin Perfect Season In
Conference Competition For Scots

Maryville's Highlanders saw their hopes of a Smoky
Mountain championship trampled in the gummy mire of
Eest Tennessee Teacher's field yesterday, as Teachers
passed their way to a 13-10 upset victory.

Bowers, left end for the Buccaneers, twice eluded the
Scot pass defenders to snatch touchdown heaves, the first
coming in the second period on a thirty-three yard toss
from Fleming and the payoff blow coming in the last four
minutes of play, another long one, thrown this time by
Garland.

Performance
Of '37 Grid Year
Hung Up By Scots

King Falls~2(MJ As Clean

SMC Record Is

Retained

Top

Reaching their peak performance of
the year to overwhelm a much-feared
King college eleven 20-0 last Saturday
night, Maryville's Scots held their place
atop the Smoky Mountain Conference
with four wins and no defeats.

The Highlanders turned in what is
considered the finest effort of d Mary-
ville team in the last five years, as they
thoroughly Whipped King's zephyr-like
Tornado.

The big Bristol team was never in
the game after the first five minute*!
of play, in which Maryville twice em-
ployed passes to take a 14-0 lead.

The press of the Border City was
unanimous in calling the Scots the
cream of the crop among visiting teams
there this season.

"It was the best ball club that Lombe
Honaker has brought out of Maryville
in a decade, one of the best he has
ever developed, and the most efficient
that has met King in the Bristol Muni-
cipal Stadium this season", stated the
Herold Sunday morning.

If the Honakermen were not all of
that, at least they gave the most pleas-
ing exhibition put on by any team
from the Hill in the memory of the
present student generation.

They landed the blow that took the
wind out of the King sails before the
opening period was half over. , ,,

An exchange of punts gave the Scots
the ball on their own forty.

From there they marched straight

down the field for sixty yards and a
score, with' Kindred's fifteen yard run
to King's twenty-seven playing a big
part. It was a twenty-six yard pass
from J. D. Hughes to Jim Etheredge
that made the score 6-0. Hughes then
added the extra point from placement.
If King had ever intended to show
(Continued on page four)

apparently sewed up the game.

After trailing through the second and
third periods, 7-0, the Honakermen
came to life late in the third when
Hughes got away on a run to mid-
field from deep in his own territory.
At this point the Scots pulled them-
selves together and began to march.

As the quarter ended they were
deep in Teacher territory. Soon after
the opening of the last quarter Odell
passed from punt formation to Hon-
aker, who stepped to the eight yard
line before he was stopped.

Hughes then slipped a pass to Odell
in the end zone for the first Maryville
score, and the Bucs lead 7-6.

On the attempt to convert, Hughes'
placement was blocked. He then pick-
ed up the ball on the hop and carried
it over for what would have been the
extra point, but it was ruled that the
whistle had bjown before the ball was
recovered/ f To further complicate
matters the officials then called an
offside penalty on Teachers, giving the
Highlanders another try for the point.

This time it was again blocked, but
once more the ball was recovered and
carried over by Odell. The point was
allowed by the officials, tying the score
at 7-7.

About eight minutes remained to
be played at this point.

A few minutes later the Scots again
took the ball on their own forty and
immediately started a second drive.
The Teacher line, a power on defense
through the first three periods, began
to crack under the heavy pounding
being handed out by the Maryville
backs. Their ground game, mixed
with occasional passes, including a
long one to Etheredge on the ten yard
line, placed Maryville again in the
shadow of the Buccaneer goal.

After it seemed tfaat Jhe hard-fight-
ing Scots .were going to make, a vic-
torious comeback, Ihpy found a stiff-

ening /Belcher line tbo much to pene-
trate. With fourth down coming up
and the ball on the eight yard line,
Odell stepped back to the 17 and
booted a placement through the up-
rights for another three points to put
the Honakermen in the lead, 10-6.

where are we?

Davy: Why don't you tell "Anchor"
to giddup then. You know, it wouldn't
do me any good if you drowned cause
I've lost the combination to my locker,
and I'm afraid ...

F. M: I only have a nickel. Would
you mind jumping half way?

Orator: Yeth. But before I leapth

die think that I did it only because I
can't float a loan.

loud explosion is heard in the hold of

As a result of the* explosion the ship
sinks into the water. From the distance
can be heard the stained "Column, the

everybody (mostly the heroine) and
the play ends happily with everyone
drowning to death.

Edgar Allan Poe for the Bells. The

We also might explain that the play
has a hidden plot. Just try and find it!

After many glorious hours of golden
thought, inspiration and dictionary
reading a name was discovered by one
Scottie, worthy of the column. Quoth
the editor, "All we need now is a
column worthy of the name."

TEACHERS' GAME

(Continued from page three)
But a Maryville win just didn't
seem tobe in the books.

On the kick-off Ed Garland, big
Teacher halfback twisted his way back
60 yards to the Maryville 30 before
being stopped.

Still the Johnson City team showed
little threat.

They were being stopped at the line
and their passes, most of them high
and wobbly, were falling harmlessly
inf:') the mud.

Fourth down was reached with still
no sign that the Scotties were to see
a hard-earned title slip from their
grasp.

But on the next play Bowers slip-
ped around to the right and took Gar-
land's pass with no one near him. He
stepped the remaining distance to the
end zone without being touched.

With that thrust the Scot lead, the
game, and the championship of the
Mountain circuit.

With the exception of about twelve
minutes in the third and fourth frames,
the Highlanders were completely out-
played. They showed no resemblance
to the wide-awake, hard charging out-
fit that slaughtered King last week.

Still their few minutes of heads-up
football seemed deserving of victory.
It was a hard one to lose.
Odell, though never able to get away
with his usually effective run from
punt formation, was the offensive star
for the Scots.

Hughes and Etheredge were up to
par most of the time, as were Proffitt,
Faulkner and Renfro, who bore most
of the defensive brunt in the middle
of the line.

A few moments later, after Odcll's
kicking had helped advance the bail to
the King forty-yard line, and Hughes
offtackle spin had carried' it to the
fifteen, the air attack again netted a
Maryville score. Odell took Hughes'
heave on the goal line and stepped
over. Hughes again converted to make
it 14-0, where the count stood at the
half.

After being turned back several
times the Highlanders registered for
the last time in the final quarter when
Odell faked a punt and then went
trucking around right end, back

Seniors 0 — Sophs 0

In an interclass touch football -game
played last Saturday, the seniors and
sophomores played to a scoreless tie.

The only time when either team
threatened was in the third quarter
when the seniors blocked a punt and
recovered the ball on the sophomores
two yard line. They failed, however, in
four attempts to push the ball over.
They lost the ball on downs, and the
sophomores punted the ball out of
danger.

The game was played with two extra
periods. Neither team scored however,
and the game was called in the second
overtime period with the score 0-0.

Fifty members of the Peace forum
last night signed a petition later to be
circulated among the student body, en-
dorsing the proposed constitutional
amendment of Senator Robert La-
Follette designed to place the power to
declare any foreign war directly in the
hands of the people. The petition is to
be sent to senior Senator from Ten-
nessee, Kenneth McKellar, as an ex-
pression of the desire for peace on the
part of the petitioners, emphasizing
their view of the necessity of immedi-
ate action. The chairman of the forum,
Simpson Spencer, read an article from
the New York Times and urged the
signature of every student as a positive
act for the promotion of permanent
peace.

The proposed amendment as drawn
up by Senator LaFollette is as follows:

"The President shall not wage war-
fare abroad without a declaration of
war by Congress. Except in the event
of an invasion of, or military expedition
against the United States or its terri-
torial possessions, or attack by a
foreign military force upon its citizens
residing therein, or invasion of or a
military expedition from abroad against
any other North American or Carib-
bean nation, the authority of the Con-
gress to declare war or conscript men
for military service oversees shall not
become effective until confirmed by a
majority of all votes cast in a nation-
wide referendum thereon.

"The Congress, whenever it deems
necessary, shall by concurrent resolu-
tion refer the questions of war or peace
and of military conscription to the
citizens of the States, the question to
be voted on being: 'Shall the United
States declare war on ?

and 'Shall the Congress be authorized
to conscript men for military service
overseas?' "

The meeting last night was arranged
by program secretary John Stafford.
The members were divided into six
groups, led by Clara Dale Echols,
Roberta Enloe, Edith Gillette, Marvin
Minear, Malcolm Brown, and Donald
Killian. A report of each group, follow-
ing each discussion of some phase of
the world peace situation in individual
meetings, was read before the assem-
bled forum at the close of the meeting.

THESE ARE HONORED AT MARYVILLE

Bruce Morgan, editor of the 1938
Chilhowean, reports that over four
hundred dollars has been collected on
the advance payments for the year
book and that the deadline for the
first payment has been extended until
today, November 20.

Plans for the annual have been pro-
gressing as rapidly as possible during
the past week. On Tuesday all four
of the classes elected the sponsors,
whose pictures will appear in the book.

Pictures of Alpha Sigma and Theta
Epsilon societies were taken on Thurs-
day and Friday as arranged by Ken
Van Cise, photography editor. These
were the first pictures taken for the
Chilhowean this year and as yet no
further arrangements for the taking of
any picture has been made by any
organization.

The Junior section for the book will
open next November 24 and
the Senior section will close on No-
vember 30. Absolutely all senior pic-
tures must be in by this time.

The four classes met after chapel
Wednesday morning to elect class
sponsors for the feature section of the
Chilhowean. The sponsors were nomi-
nated on a basis of personality, popu-
larity, and contribution to the class.
The names of the sponsors will be
withheld until the appearance of the
Chilhowean in the spring.

One

Of Six In Tennessee
Accredited

President Ralph W. Lloyd has re-
ceived official notification from the
Association of American Universities
that Maryville College has again been
recognized as an accredited college.

Maryville first made application for
a place on the accredited list of colleges
and universities in 1932, at which time
a personal visit and examination was
made. Reports submitted in the four
years have ranked Maryville among
the highest 25 per cent of American
institutions. In Tennessee there are
approximately 25 colleges for
white students and Maryville is among
the six of these on the accredited list.
The other five are University of Ten-
nessee, Vanderbilt university, The
University of the South (Sewanee),
The University of Chattanooga, and
Southwestern (Memphis).

Students Called Home

By Death of Father

The annual fall meeting of the board
of directors of Maryville college took
place last Tuesday with a quorum of
the directors present. During the
course of the meeting reports were read
by the president, treasurer, committee
on administration, and committee on
finance.

Officers for the coming year were
elected: Judge S. O. Huston of Knox-
ville, chairman; Rev. J. M. Broady of
Birmingham, vice-president; and
Treasurer F. L. Profntt of the college,
recorder.

The committee on administration, an

NOTICE

The Maryville college social
committee wishes to ask for the
cooperation and suggestions of
all students as to the furtherance
of social activities on the campus.
From time to time during the
year various organizations will
be asked to arrange entertain-
ments for the entire student
body. We believe that it is the
privilege, not only of the mem-
bers of the Social committee,
but also of the whole student
body to provide social activities
for the school. Therefore, when
the Social committee asks any
individual or group of indivi-
duals to have charge of some en-
tertainment, we would appreci-
ate the utmost cooperation such
as shown by the combined Glee
clubs which prepared the program
and decorations for the last for-
mal dinner.

Rosenthal Plays
To Large Crowd
Tuesday Evening

Polish Pianist Presents
Interesting, Varied
Program

An

In spite of the cold, disagreeable
rain Tuesday evening, Moriz Rosenthal,
Polish pianist, played to a capacity
house in Voorhees chapel. Mr. Rosen-
thal's program was varied and inter-
esting. First he played a group of light,
melodic numbers, consisting of Aria
Con Variazioni, a beautiful composition
of Handel; Tambourin by Rameau; a
Gavotte by Martini, and two Sonatas
by Scarlatti.

The second part of the program con-
sisted of only one number — the Wan-
derer Fantasy Op. 15 by Schubert. This
number is magnificently expressive and
full of suppressed longing. Several
times it almost dies away on notes of
sadness, but the music soars again and
finally ends in passionate chords.

The next part of the program was
Chopin music and was begun with five
preludes. The two Mazurkas which
followed the preludes were interesting
insights into the character and feeling
of the Slav people. The Chopin Valse
had a certain aristocratic assurance.
Scherzo Op. 31 was a truly powerful
and brilliant number. The Chant
Polonais, which is a theme of Chopin's
with variations by Liszt, is worthy of
the two musicians and was played with
great understanding by Mr. Rosenthal.

The last part of the program con-
sisted of two numbers by Mr. Rosenthal
himself. Papillons, the first number,
was probably characteristic of the man
who wrote it. Carneval Viennese on
Themes by Johanna Strauss and
arranged by Moriz Rosenthal combined
the ever popular appeal of Strauss and
the skill and artistry of Mr. Rosenthal.

CHEMISTRY GRADUATES EMPLOYED IN VARIOUS TYPES OF WORK

By SARA LEE HELLUMS

Discovery of the names of several
Maryville graduates in "Chemical Ab-
stracts" recently led to the investi-
gation of what other chemistry major
graduates of Maryville college are do-
ing now.

The American Chemical Society
publishes "Chemical Abstracts" semi-
monthly, with a decennial index every
ten years, containing both a subject and
author index of abstracts published in
approximately two thousand magazines
from all over the world.

The name of Louise Carson, '30, co-
author of a paper on "Molecular
Organic Compounds", appeared in the
1935 index. Miss Carson received her
M.A. at the University of Tennessee in
1932, and has taught general science

at Park Junior High school, Knox-
ville, Tennessee, since then. Her co-
author was Rachel Edds, class of '27,
who received her M.A. from U.T. in
1934.

Other chemistry graduates who arc
teaching their major are B. Calvin
Bass, '31, who has done work on his
M.A. at U.T., while teaching chemistry
and physics at Alcoa high school;
Thomas Wilson Whitehead, '30, who
has taught at Central High school,
Knoxville, for five years after getting
his M.S. from U.T. in 1931; David Sam-
uel Marston, '29, who taught at Boyd
Junior school after receiving his M. A.
in physics from Ohio State university.

Alfred Soukup, '28, whose name was
later Americanized to Marsh, who h;is
a Ph.D. from Indiana university, and

who has taught at Alabama college, is
employed in some phase of industrial
research. Roy Paul, with an A.B. from
Maryville in '28 and an M.S. from Van-
derbilt in '29, has been very successful
in the Victor Chemical Works at their
plant in middle Tennessee. An in-
dustrial alcohol company employs
Robert Sloan Welsh, '29, at Louisville,
Kentucky.

Thomas Kidd, '35. and Winifred
Glass, '33, are at the Jackson Labora-
tories of the Dupont Co., Penn's Grove,
New Jersey. Wiley Steakley, '36, is in
the control laboratories of the Ameri-
can Rolling Mill Co.. Middletown, Ohio.

Working on their Ph. D's are Duncan
J;imes Crowley, '36; who is a graduate
assistant at Purdue university; William
C. Frishe, '35. holding a graduate fel-

lowship at the University of Cincinnati;
Robert Rummel, '33, finishing his thesis
requirements for Vanderbilt while in-
structing chemistry at Georgia School
of Technology, Atlanta; and Fred Kir-
chner, '34, who was the first president
of Alpha Gamma Sigma at Maryville
college, a present member of the senior ,
staff of assistants at Ohio State uni-
versity.

The University of Tennessee, until
this year, had on its staff two Mary-
ville graduates; George F. Deeble, '35,
who received his M. S. from there, and
Robert Brown, '35, now at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky.

Mary Ruth Marston. '27. a chemist in
the Bureau of Chemistry and the De-
partment of Agriculture after gradua-

tion, resigned to become the wife of
Ben H. Blackburn, also a graduate of
'27, for esveral years a high school
science teacher at White Pine, Ten-
nessee.

James Henry Lowry, '33, and Mal-
com Houts '32, are employed by the
Alcoa plant of the Aluminum Company
of America.

The investigation included only
those who have graduated in the last
ten years and are now employed in
purely chemical work. Information
about any names omitted will be ap-
preciated.

Two of the earlier graduates of the
College are now members of the de-
partment of chemistry: Piofessors
George Howell and F. A. Griffitts.

Maryville Remedial
Reading Project

The remedial reading project of the psychology de-
partment in which a large number of upperclass students
is participating is the work of Dr. David H. Briggs, now in
his second year as professor at Maryville. Few Maryville
people are aware of the high school testing program Dr.
Briggs inaugurated for the whole state of Florida while
professor in that state several years ago.

The present project, designed to increase the reading
rate and comprehension of students by means of an in-
strument called the Metranoscope, is the most recent
development in the educational field. Maryville can be
proud of the progressive head of her department of
education.

Polonius

TALK OF THE WEEK . By Arlene Phelps

Moriz Rosenthal's rendition of Liszt's Second Hun-
garian Rhapsody was a sublime experience few of us will
be privilt'dged to relive. From the thundering coda of
Chopin's Scherzo to his own ethereal Papillons, Rosenthal
enraptured his audience. Even with our limited knowledge
and appreciation of fine music, Polonius felt transported
beyond those straight walls and the wet November night.

As always, however, there were a few glaring remin-
ders of the provincialism of some of the audience. The
first was the garish freshman girl behind us who loudly
whispered during the Martini Gavotte, "I hear they
could of got Benny Goodman for what they paid this
guy". Another was the presence of several who seemed
unmindful of the fact that beyond Knoxville women re-
move their hats at a concert or at the theatre. The third
was the presence of several cuddly couples whose con-
versational undertone ruined the concert for those forced
to sit near them. Granted that many of us are self-con-
scious about our appreciation, please let's think of those
around us! If you can't take Miss Davies' excellent course
in music appreciation, put William Lyon Phelps' little
book "Music" on your "must" list. It's in the library.

"The Northwest Passage, in the imagination of all free
people, is a short cut to fame, fortune, and romance — a
hidden route to Golconda and the mystic East. On every
side of us are men who hunt perpetually for their per-
sonal Northwest Passage, too often sacrificing health,
strength and life itself to the search; and who shall say
they are not happier in their vain but hopeful quest than
wiser, duller folk who sit at home, venturing nothing and,
with sour laughs, deriding the seekers for that fabled
thoroughfare — that panacea for all the afflictions of
humdrum world." And all of Kenneth Roberts' exciting
new historical novel, Northwest Passage, is as vivid and
true as its preface quoted above. We won't review the
book; it's too enormous. Read the first ten pages and we'll
guarantee you'll finish the book in a week.

YMCA Chorus Rehearses
For Christmas Program

Why Not Give
Them A Break?

Although organized only a few weeks ago, the Royal
Collegians have proved themselves an orchestra of no
mean ability. Their playing at the formal dinner Tuesday
evening rated a great deal of praise.

Praise is about all, however, that they receive
Various organizations are eager to engage them to play
for their meetings, but they seem to forget that a ten-
piece band has expenses that praise or recognition will
not meet.

Since the orchestra did not have enough money to
pay for its fronts, several members had to paint them
and do some of the other work. Demands are made that
the orchestra increase its range of numbers, but little is
done to provide it with any money for the music.

Restricting practice to one evening a week; has
placed the band under another handicap. Allowance for
more practice would be a great help.

The students and faculty have expressed themselves
as being behind the band; but one student was not entirely
wrong when he said that they are so far behind that
they are out of sight. The Royal Collegians need more
than recognition; they need at least enough remuneration
to meet their expenses.

A professor over at Duke university wrote another
remarkable book earlier this year which stands near the
top of the present best-seller list. J. B. Rhine's New
Frontiers of the Mind is a collection of the most amaz-
ing scientifically tested evidence of extra-physical
phenomena that has confronted the world since the be-
ginning of the scientific era. The implications that Rhine's
experiments bear, the suggestions as to the possibility
of experimentation with the future, have not only halted
the whole mechanistic trend of the psychologists with the
data presented, but may come to be a turning point in the
direction of the philosophical speculation of all mankind.
The book is worth any man's time.

Scottie Sketches

A Safety Program
For Maryville

Perhaps an open ditch is a sign of progress, but after
dark it becomes a hazard. Most students are now aware
that a new drain is being put in at the side of the road
leading to Carnegie hall, although for the first evening
or two some found it out somewhat abruptly and un-
pleasantly. A red lantern at each end of the ditch would
have been appreciated.

Late Tuesday afternoon after dark two students found
that the opening to the old well near Anderson hall had
been carelessly left uncovered. The opening of the well,
which is by the walk used by many of the men going to
the dining hall, is large and the well is deep.

But a question of safety concerned with more serious
problems than mere bruised shins and broken legs is that
of fire, especially in the women's dormitories.

Most of the fire escapes are old, rusty and weak. This
becomes a more significant fact when one realizes that in
Memorial and Pearsons, except for a narrow exit leading
to the kitchen in the latter, ^here is but one stairway to be
used.

True there are sprinkler systems in these dormitories,
but we have our doubts about their efficiency in case of
fire in one of the frame dormitories. Having the fire
escapes ending at the second floor doubtless keeps more
women in their rooms in the evenings, but it would also
do the same in case of fire.

At the first of the year it was suggested to some of
the women that they place a damp towel near their beds.
May be suggest that a few fire drills and stronger, longer
fire escapes would do much more toward providing
security for the women.

lett auditorium. All men interested in
it are asked to be present for rehearsal.

During the Easter holidays last
spring the Y. M. chorus told in song
the story of the life of Jesus.

O

Party Held

Maryville students enjoyed an As-
You-Like-It "A Trip to the Moon" last
Saturday evening from eight until ten.
The program included games in Bald-
win parlors, ping pong in Pearson's
lobby, swimming in Bartlett pool, and
a variety program in the Alumni gym-
nasium.

of the evening in the gymnasium.

Royal Collegians Get

New Modernistic Fronts

The newly formed Royal Collegians
orchestra appeared with new fronts
when they played at the joint Alpha
Sigma-Epsilon meeting in the Philoso-
phy class room Saturday at 6:45. These
decorations for music stands were
made in the carpenter shop last week
by Charles Sullivan.

The fronts have a design consisting
of a modern pedestal with a top hat and
cane on a cloud effect. The background
is black, white, and silver. The design
was made by Frank Brink.

Director of College

Resigns His Pastorate

Dr. John Grant Newman, a director
of Maryville college, and a member of
the class of '88, has resigned his pastor-
ate at the Chamber Wilie Memorial
Presbyterian church in Philadelphia.
He has been pastor there for 25 years.
Before that he served as a pastor in
Cincinnatti, and later in New York. He
was also president of the Western
College for Women for some time.

Since 1925, Dr. Newman has been
contributing the International Sunday
School Lessons to the Saturday Phila-
delphia Inquirer. He also lectures at
Tenant College. He will continue to
write his newspaper column and to
deliver the lectures.

Dr. Newman is not only a director
and an alumnus of Maryville, but he
also was a former professor, having
taught Latin there from 1893 to 1903. He
spoke at the Founder's Day program
a year ago.

Pierce Winner In Point
System's Dart Tourney

Edith Pierce, junior, defeated Lyn
Tyndall, sophomore, in the women's
aerial dart tournament which was
played off this week. The tournament
was first held among the women in the
three classes and then the winners
from each class competed. Betsey
Gaultney was the champion in the
freshmen group but was defeated by
Lyn Tyndall.

On Thursday of last week the classes

THE HIGHLAND ECHO NOVEMBER 20, 1937

Wrestling Practice Starts

Another sports season has now rolled around,
heralded by dark days and strong winds.

In the wrestling room of Bartlett Hall Monday the
new crop of 1938 wrestlers will make their initial appear-
ance before the critical eyes of Coach Robert C. Thrower.
And before we forget it, the following is submitted by
request of said coach :

NOTICE

All prospective wrestlers, especially those in the
lighter weights are asked to report at three o'clock Mon-
day afternoon at Bartlett Hall for the first practice. This
also includes football men.

The grapplin' Scotties, Tennessee champs last winter
for about the seventh straight time under the tutelage of
Thrower, will be strong again this year. The main lack
of dependable man power will be apparent in the light
weight classes where there is a perennial dearth of talent.
At least that applies to the last three or f 6ur years.

If men can be developed to fill the vacancies now
existing in these classes th« Scots will stir up plenty woe
for a list of foes which includes tentatively Appalachian,
Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Miami U. among others.
Complaint Department

Immediately below you will find the Echo's contri-
bution to unemployment prevention.

If the sight of an all-anything football team doesn't
give you something to do, then you aren't a fan of the pre-
vailing variety.

... AGENTS ...
Gene Morgan. 332 Carnegie Suzanne Fisher. 421 Pearsons

The Maryville grid season, which was brought to such a disappointing
end last Friday at Johnson City, proves to be one of the most successful of
recent years when taken apart and examined at leasure.

Dropped to third place in the Smoky Mountain Conference by the 13-10
loss to Teachers in the final game, the Scots finished with four wins and one
defeat in intra-loop combat. In addition they lost one to Chattanooga in a non-
conference affair.

Statistically the Highlanders more than doubled touchdowns and points
on the opposition. They secured 16 touchdowns to their foes' seven, and
amassed 107 points to 45.

The biggest individual contribution to the Scot total was the 41 point
collection of Halfback J. D. Hughes, who led the team in scoring. Junior
Odell came next with 30, including one field goal.

Probably the greatest team achievement was the three touchdown defeat
of King College, pre-season favorites for the title. In this tussle Maryville
reached a peaek of efficiency not attained in any other game, as they soundly
thumped the Tornado, 20-0.

Looking back over the 1937 season one thinks first of Odell's great
kicking, Al Burris' open field running, Jim Etheredge's fine work at end on
both offense and defense, Hughes' piledriving methods at half, the tight
defense thrown up by Captain Jim Renfro, Fred Tulloch, Arnold Kramer, and
Alternate Captain Jim Proffitt in the Scottie forward wall. All these factors,
coupled with a better than average first year crop, helped give Maryville a
team that missed the Conference crown by an eye lash, and one which was sur-
prisingly good at times, a little disappointing at others.

Analysed by games the 1937 season looks like this:
Chattanooga 19 Maryville 0

This one is best summed up in the words of Wirt Gammon, Sports Editor of
the Chattanooga Times, who said, "The main reason the score was not larger
was a long, lanky, punting person, John Odell. John has consistent boots of over
forty yards all night, except for one which sliced out badly for him.

"The Maryville team as a whole was not far enough along in conditioning
to do much damage against the superior Moccasins, who, by the way, won no
medals at blocking and holding on to the ball."

Tusculum 0 Maryville 25

Here was a different story. Al Burris literally ran the Pioneers ragged as
the Scots hung up their first SMC win. He ripped through the guards and
tackles for gains totaling 110 yards, more than the combined yardage of
Tusculum. .

The scoring was done on a twenty-yard dash by Burris, two off -tackle
drives by Hughes, and: a Hughes-to-Odell pass.

Hiwassee 0 Maryville 12

One of the early season surprises was furnished by the gamely fighting
Hiwassee Tigers, who scrapped the Highlanders off their feet in the first half,
only to lose out on two third period scores by Hughes.

The Scot running attack, functioning momentarily, gave Maryville a 6-0
lead, with Hughes going over from the one-yard line.

A Tiger counter attack was then broken up when Hughes grabbed one
of their passes and scampered 97 yards </with it for the game clinching marker.

Milligan 7 Maryville 20

Much closer than the score indicates, the Buff fray gave Scot supporters a
scare before the game was iced. Again it was an intercepted pass by Hughes,
this time on the last play, which stopped a Milligan threat to tie up the
game, and gave Maryville an additional score.

This came after the whistle had stopped a strong Buff march on the 2-
yard line at the half.

The Highlanders struck first in the second period, a pass from Odell to
Honaker bringing the first touchdown. The second came on Honaker's thirty
yard heave to Etheredge.

Lenoir Rhyne 0 Maryville 0

After out-fighting and out-smarting Lenoir Rhyne all the way The Scots
had to be satisfied with a scoreless tie in a battle fought in a sea of mud at
Hickory, N. C.

Odell's thirty-five yard run on a fake kick stood out. It helped the Scots
to drive to the Bears' four yard line where they were stopped in the only
serious threat furnished by either team.

Cumberland 6 Maryville 20

An unpredictable Cumberland university team which had previously
handed King its first beating was downed in fairly easy manner, with all
three Scot tallies being scored by Hughes, twice at tackle, once at end.

A long pass led to the Bulldog score.

King 0 Maryville 20

Everything King did was wrong; everything Maryville did was right. The
result was one of the most hilarious affairs ever enjoyed by a visiting Scottie
delegation, who had continual cause to ring their indispensable cow bell.

Maryville scored twice in the first period on passes to Odell and Etheredge,
and added a third in the last quarter as Odell slipped through the entire King
outfit for a 60 yard touchdown run from punt formation.

Knoxville, Tenn,

"What can I get him for
Christmas?" That is the
question running through the
minds of many men and
women these days. It is quite
a question too. There are
thousands of articles display-
ed in the stores, and one
would think that selecting a
suitable Christmas present
would be the least of one's
^vorries.

But you and we know differ-
ently. All of us wish at this
time of the year that we were
mult i-millionaires, so we
could give costly gifts, buy
what we wanted to buy with-
out thought of price.

The great majority of us,
however, have a modest in-
come and we must think of
the good thought behind the
jdeed rather than the small
fcost, in attempting to solve
bur Christmas shopping prob-
lems. We have in mind select-
ing some gift that will be use-
ful at a reasonable price.

A dollar gift is the most
popular. And there is nothing
we can think of that would
make a better present, at this
price, than a COLONIAL
CLUB THREE PIECE GIFT
SET. Any man getting such a
present would feel that he
had been well remembered.
Actually the retail value of
the Shaving Creme, Talc and
Lotion is $1.50. It looks like it
cost that much, too.

We have a number of these
beautifully packaged sets now
on display in our store, sever-
al of which have already been
reserved, and if there is a man
on your list who is particular
about the quality of his shav-
ing materials you will make
no mistake in giving him
COLONIAL CLUB. Smooth,
velvety shaves will result and
he will appreciate your
thoughtfulness and judgment
of quality each time he uses

Dr. May To Open
Fred Hope Drive
Next Wednesday

Medical Missionary To Talk

On Work of Elat

Mission

The Rev. Philip J. May, D. D.,
medical missionary from the Cameroon,
will come to Maryville college next
Wednesday and Thursday to speak on
the work of the Elat mission in Africa
in which Dr. Fred Hope has been
working since his graduation from here
in 1906. Dr. May is to speak in chapel
both mornings he is here and also
Wednesday evening.

The faculty and students of the
college have for many years contri-
buted annually to the support of Dr.
Hope's work in Elat. Last year the
pledges amounted to $608, a little
more than ninety-two per cent of
which was paid in.

This is the only financial drive which
is presented to the student body dur-
in the year, and participation is entirely
voluntary, large or small. The money
is sent direct to Dr. Hope as an ex-
pression of the interest in and appreci-
ation of the work to which he has
given the last thirty years of his life.

Dr. May went to Africa in 1924
where he was engaged for many
months in operating a medical station in
a remote section of the Cameroon. For
the last two years he has been in
close track with the growth of mission
work in Africa. He is in the United
'States on furlough and has very gra-
ciously changed some of his plans in
order to accept the invitation to come
'to the college at this time.

100 Attend Sunrise

Service Thanksgiving

College Players
Play to be Given
Friday Evening

Black, Bennett, Stevens To

Portray Leading

Characters

The advisability of early reservation
of seats for "Pride and Prejudice",
College Players production to be given
Friday evening at Voorhees chapel,
was emphasized today by business
manager Roy Talmage. Advance sales
indicate that a great number of people
are aware of the excellence of the play
and the quality of the cast selected by
Mrs. Nita Eckles West, head of the
Dramatic Art department of the col-
lege. Reports of the final rehearsals
this week point not only to the ex-
perience of the cast but to unusually
careful planning of costumes and sets
for Helen Jerome's adaptation of Jane
Austen's nineteenth century novel.

Lois Black, Gordon Bennett, and
Don Stevens will portray the leading
characters, Elizabeth Bennet, Mr.
Darcy, and Mr. Bennet, respectively.
The drawing room setting of the stage
play is the scene of Mrs. Bennet's
attempts to marry off her three daugh-
ters, Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia. Muriel
Mann, experienced thespian, is to be
Mrs. Bennet, while Carol Ward and
Arda Walker will act the parts of
Jane and Lydia Bennet. The central
situation of the drama is the conflict
between the pride of Elizabeth Bennet
and the prejudice of Mr. Darcy.
Another leading party will be played
by Russell Hirsch as Mr. Bingler. The
large supporting cast, many of whom
have considerable parts in the play
are as follows: Mr. Collins, William
Swearingen; Mr. Wickham, Charles
Fish; Lady Lucas, Alice Whitaker;
Charlotte Lucas, Louise Allen; Mrs.
Bingley, Sara Bolton; Lady Catherine
Approximately 100 men and womew-f^e Bourh) Eleanor Brown; Fitzwilliam,

Donald Crego; Amelia and Mrs. Lake,

attended the Y.M. — Y.W. sunrise ser
vice which was held Thanksgiving
morning in the Y.W. rooms.

The' call to worship, played on the
trumpets by Ralph Reed and Sam
Cornelius , was followed by a song
service led by John Magill, with Ruth
Mack at the piano. A male quartet
composed of Wilbur Parvin, Roland
Anderson, George Hunt, and Marvin
Minear sang Beethoven's "Adoration".

Constance Johnson and Fred Rhody
gave brief Thanksgiving talks. Malcolm
Brown, Russell Stevenson, Margaret
Lodwick, and Clara Dale Echols also
had part in the service.

Cus worth Leads YMCA

Chorus In Rehearsal

Robert Cusworth led the Y.M.C.A.
-chorus in its second rehearsal last Mon-
day evening. The group of 25 men will
sing at a specially arranged Christmas
service on some evening of the week
before Christmas holidays.

The Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. will hold a
carol sing on the Sunday evening be-
fore vacation if present plans develop.
It is hoped that such activities as the
chorus and carol sing will be sufficient-
ly well received as to warrant the
establishment of them as annual affairs.

Scull, Blazer Crowned King

And Queen At Barnwarming

Program Thursday Evening Built Around Old Showboat

Was Theme; Large Crowd of Students,

And Town People Attend

Showboat was the theme of the an-
nual barnwarming program given
Thursday evening in Alumni gymna-
sium. Those attending the affair en-
tered by means of a gangplank erected
from the door to the gymnasium floor
and found themselves surrounded by
white and blue decorations to carry out
the showboat idea.

Reba Blazer and Reese Scull reigned
over the affair as barnwarming queen
and king. They were elected by the
student body at chapel Tuesday, and
their name were kept secret until the
program. Attendents were Helen Mil-
ler, Winford Ross, Constance Johnson,
and Bill Swearingen.

During the first part of the evening
those attending visited booths erected
around the sides of the gym. In the
latter part Walter West as Cap'n Scotty
presented a program for the audience,
seated on the bleachers.

First on the program was a trumpet
trio by Vernon Lloyd, Max Cornelius,
and Ralph Reed. Weldon Baud and his
group of tumblers followed with acro-
bactic stunts. Next was a vocal solo by
Ruth Woods followed by a blackface
skit put on by members of Alpha Sig-
ma society. A comedy skit was then
presented by Thomas Schafer and Ed-
ward Thomas.

The latter part of the program was
taken up by a burlesque chorus pre-
sented by Theta, piano music by Gerald
Beaver, dancing by Joyce Brakebill,
and the Bainonion chorus. Theta con-
cluded the evening with music by her
Rhythm Band.

Winnie Berst, who supervised the
affair, was aided by Sara Bolton, booth
chairman; John Wintermute, decora-
tions, Winford Ross, business manager;
and Glenn Young, lighting.

property manager, Glenn Young, elec-
tritian, and Maxwell Cornelius, car-
penter, will also work with Wintermute
in the management of the play. Roy
Talmage is handling the advertising
and ticket sales in his position as busi-
ness manager.

A statement by Mrs. West this week
revealed that the cost of a play, spent
through several channels, amounts to
a considerable sum. Between twenty-
five and fifty dollars is spent for
royalty. At least fifteen dollars is the
cost of the play books. Programs, tic-
kets, and advertising run up a large
bill. Costumes, bought or rented, pre-
sent another big expense. Paint for the
flats, a fee to the college for use of
stage and lights, and a number of mis-
cellaneous items bring the total to a
large amount, all of which must be met
through the sale of tickets.

Students Serve
Lieutenants

As

Here in Maryville there are three
troops of Girl Scouts that have as
lieutenants several women students
from the college. These students are
interested in scouting both for scouting
itself and for the chance they have at
leadership. Three of these scouts, Jessie
Curtis, Catharine Davidson, and Mari-
anna Allen have been awarded their
Golden Eaglets, the highest award
given in the Girl Scout organization.
The various tests that the girls must
pass before becoming actual members
of a troop, or second class, first class
of Eaglet scouts are practical tests
which give the scouts useful know-
ledge.

In troop one, Catharine Davidson,
Marianna Allen, and Jean White are
working with the girls on tenderfoot
and second class tests which include
such activities as housekeeping, first
aid, and nature work. In troop two,
Arlene Phelps, Lucille Varnadore, and
Doris Sieweke, lieutenants, and in
troop three, Jessie Curtis and Doris
Stevenson, lieutenants, the scouts are
working en second and first class
material.

Reading Test Given

To Freshman Class

Frontier Nursing Service

By GEORGE L. HUNT

In the heavily-wooded hills of
Kentucky a brown horse climbs the
rough, rocky road, fords the stream
down in the valley, and stops at a
rough hut placidly squatting by the
stream. A trimly dressed woman
climbs off the horse and, carrying her
little black bag, enters the hut. With
an experienced eye she looks at the
little boys cut hand and the sick
woman on the bed, redresses the hand
and provides medicine for the other
patient, and then with a cheerful word
is off to the next hut in the hills.

This woman is from the Frontier
Nursing service, an organization
founded and managed by Mrs. Mary
Breckenridge, which regularly makes
the rounds of the primitive mountain
homes where such a thing as a nurse
was not known only a few months
ago. To these people whose grand-
parents came to what is still one of
America's frontiers young women bring
medical aid and cheerfulness as mem-
bers of an organization supported
wholly by voluntary contribution and

not affiliated with any religious or
social group.

The main office of the service is in
Wendover, Kentucky, "five horseback
miles from the nearest road." Here
live twenty-five women who are the
secretarial staff of the organization.
Among the twenty-five are four Mary-
ville alumni, the most recent addition
being Miss Bernice Gaines, of the class
of 1937. The other alumni are Bland
Morrow, Agnes Lewis, and Lucille
Hodges. Miss Games, last year's Echo
editor, is visiting on the campus this
week, and teels graphic stories of her
experiences in the mountains.

Miss Gaines, who is from New
Jersey, enjoyed the experience of rid-
ing sixty miles on horseback in three
days. Though employed in the office,
she has accompanied some of the
nurses on their rounds of the moun-
tain homes. The service, she explains,
has the express purpose of providing
"a public health system and mid-
wifery service for the mountain folks."
Miss Gaines said "Most nurses are

The Iowa Reading test was given to
the freshmen Wednesday morning after
chapel under fhe direction of Dr. David
H. Briggs, head of the psychology de-
partment. Dr. Frank D. McClelland,
director of personnel, explained that
the purpose of the test is to determine
the student's comprehension ability
and thereby help him in his studying.

Browns Take Trip

Mr. and Mrs. Ernest C. Brown have
taken a few days vacation to go to
Cincinnati to visit with Mr. Brown's
brother for a few days. They left early
Thursday morning and spent Thanks-
giving with their son Bob, who teaches
at the University of Kentucky. After
the Kentucky-Tennessee game, they
left the next morning for Cincinnati.
They plan to go to Lima, Ohio, to visit
with another of Mr. Brown's brothers.
They will arrive at Maryville some-
time Sunday evenng.

Pictures Taken
For Chilhowean

Junior Section Will
December 16

Close

The photographic plans for the 1938
Chilhowean have been progressing
rapidly during the past few weeks un-
der the direction of Kenneth Van Cise,
photography editor of the book. To
date, the pictures taken have been
group pictures of Theta Epsilon and
Alpha Sigma, pictures of the spring
events, and all of the 1937 football
pictures. Bainonian and Athenian will
have theirs taken the first of next
week.

The junior section opened November
24 and will close December 16. The
senior section closes on November 30
and at the present time about 70
seniors have had their sittings.

There are a total of 396 subscriptions
for the book, and $474 have already
been paid, according to George Felk-
nor subscription editor. This is the
first advance payment; the second
will be before the second semester.

Law Schools Discussed
At Law Club Wednesday

The regular meeting of the Law Club
was held in Athenian hall Wednesday
evening at 6:40 with Edward A. Jussely
presiding. After the routine business
was transacted, the program, consisting
of the explanation of the entrance re-
quirements of famous American law
schools, was presented. Irene Browder
told of the entrance requirements of
Cumberland university and the Uni-
versity of Mississippi. C. L Franklin
compared Duke university with the
University of Michigan. Hugh C. Find-
lay gave an account of Stanford and
Pennsylvania universities, and Robert
Wilcox compared Vanderbilt with Yale
university. The program ended with
a comparison of the University of
Tennessee with the University of Vir-
ginia by Horace Brown.

Carolina Press
Publishes Book
By Dr. Hill Shine

Work Is On Carlyle's Fusion

Of Poetry, History,

Religion

A new book by Dr. Hill Shine, pro-
fessor in the department of English at
Maryville college, was published
Thursday by the University of North
Carolina Press. The volume, entitled
"Carlyle's Fusion of Poetry, History,
and Religion by 1834", is composed of
material which has appeared during
the past two years in "Studies in Philo-
logy" as three separate articles.

Dr. Shine, a graduate of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, received his
doctorate at that institution after
several years as a professor at the
University of Louisville. Following his
doctor's degree, his thesis then also
dealing with Carlyle, Dr. Shine be-
came a member of the faculty of the
English department at Maryville col-
lege in 1931. Dr. Shine last year was
raised to the rank of full professorship
from his former classification as associ-
ate professor. His classes, dealing with
the major periods of English literary
history, have always been characterized
by his philosophical interest, a trend
readily seen in his new book.

The first part of the volume discusses
Carlyle's definitions of reason and tol-
erance, showing how they led up to his
theoretical fusion of religion and
poetry. The second division, "Carlyle's
Views on the Relation between Poetry
and History up to 1832" shows "the
development of his interest in history
and society, the waning of his interest
in systematic philosophy, and his defin-
ition of realism so as to identify poetry
and history." The final chapter dis-
cusses the converging theories of re-
ligion, poetry, and history until Car-
lyle's fusion of the three in his compo-
sition "The Diamond Necklace."

The book is dedicated to Dr. John
Manning Booker, "who belongs in the
tradition of great teachers". Acknow-
ledgement is made in the Forward to
Professor George R. Coffman, editor of
Studies in Philology; to Dr. E. R. Hun-
ter and Dr. H. E. Orr, for suggestions;
to Miss Clemmie Henry and assistants,
Dr. R. W. Lloyd, and Marvville college,
for aid of various kinds; to Miss
Georgia H. Faison, reference librarian
at the University of North Carolina; to
Helen Chadwick Shine; and to Profes-
sor Booker "to whose insight, inspira-
tion, and guidance this study is largely
due and to whom therefore it is fit-
tingly dedicated".

Arc Light Erected

The walk between the book store and
Thaw hall is now lighted by a new arc
light that was erected this week as part
of the campus mork program. Hereto-
fore, the walk has been heavily
shadowed and officials felt that some
sort of lighting was a necessity. Work
on the new asphalt walk is progressing
rapidly, with the foundation almost
levelled. Other campus work this week
has consisted of cleaning up the
grounds and chopping wood in the
College woods.

Handel's Messiah
Presentation Set
For December 12

Recitatives and Airs To Be

Interpreted By

Students

Rehearsals for the presentation of
Handel's immortal oratorio, "The
Messiah," to be sung in Voorhees
chapel on the afternoon of December
12, show marked progress. The chorus
is composed of nearly 150 voices from
the student body, faculty, and town.

Recitatives and airs will be inter-
preted by student soloists. The Mary-
ville College Little Symphony orches-
tra will accompany both the soloists
and choruses and will play the overture
and Pastoral symphony. The entire
production is under the direction of
Ralph Colbert, Maryville music in-
structor.

The "Messiah" is generally conceded
to be the greatest o f all oratorios,
ranking even higher than Mendel-
ssohn's "Elijah" or Haydn's "Creation."
Although Handel is said to have com-
posed the work in three weeks and
three days, the finished product shows
few marks of haste. It was first per-
formed in Dublin in 1742, and since
that date, has been sung hundreds of
times throughout the world.

The oratorio was first presented at
Maryville in the fall of 1933 when J.
Alvin Keen, Westminister Choir school
graduate, directed the chorus in its
first rehearsals. Finding it impossible
to continue his work here, Miss
Frances Henry, instructor in voice,
took up the baton. The warm reception
received by the chorus and its director
prompted the continuation of the an-
nual productions.

77 Tickets Bought For

Grace Moore Concert

A total of 77 tickets were purchased
by Maryville students for the Grace
Moore concert to be held at the Uni-
versity of Tennessee auditorium Nov-
ember 30. Buses will be provided for
transportation. A young violinist will
alos appear on the program with Miss
Moore. Miss Katharine Davies and
Ralph Colbert of the music department,
are in charge of securing the tickets for
this program.

Maryville College Farm

The earliest campus arisers are four
men whose job it is to get the milk for
the Pearsons menu. These men go out
to the college farm at 4:45 every
morning and 4:30 every afternoon,
every day in the school year. They
get from the herd of twenty cows
seventy gallons of milk a day.

Most of the "milk boys" have had
experience on a farm. The senior mem-
ber of the quartet is James Whitt, an
upperclassman from Mars Hill, North
Carolina. The two Dickie brothers,
Herbert and James, of Roseland, Vir-
ginia, are twins and seniors from the
apple country. Harold Dysart, a junior
is from Marion, North Carolina, and is
studying to be a doctor. He is the most
famous of the four, having had the
song "I'm on Old Cowhand" dedicated
to him over an early morning radio
program.

The college farm as it is now equip-
ped is the latest addition to the campus
and college property. The present farm
was acquired in 1934, partly by pur-
chase and partly as a gift from Judge
Thomas N. Brown, a director of the

College and former owner of the
property. Before that time there was
a small sixty acre farm with its head-
quarters at the old Lamar residence
which is situated behind Pearsons hall,
and the additional forty-five acres
from the Brown property provided the
college with another house and a large
barn. The house is over a 100 years
old, and is built of rough logs which
in recent years have been faced with
clapboard. In this house "Judge Tom"
spent his boyhood days, and here also
Ernest C. Brown, college engineer,
spent much of his life. Now Jim Irwin,
manager of the farm, and his family
live there with Roy Blackburn and his
family.

Jim Irwin is very well-liked by all
the men that work with him. They all
agree that he is a "swell boss," and
the condition of the farm shows that
he is a good manager. He has worked
for the college for 20 years, 18 of them
on the farm. He was married last year
and has one child. His brother is Ralph
Irwin, the night watchman.

Who's
Crazy?

On Armistice day in London police subdued with their
clubs a "madman" who had burst through the guard lines
to shout at King George who stood uncovered before the
Cenotaph, "This is all hypocrisy! You are deliberately
preparing for war!" The poor fellow has been returned
to the asylum from which he had escaped and the incident
has been almost forgotten. But somehow we wonder
when we hear of occasions like that whether it isn't the
wild-eyed shouters for peace are sane and the rest of
the world that is unbalanced.

Credenda...

Polonius

Addison was wise when he said "there is no defense
against reproach except obscurity." From the presidency
of the United States to the editorship of a college news-
paper the man who asserts himself or exhibits the least
qualities of leadership becomes subject to the abusive
criticism of the stagnant, unimaginative minds of those
whose sole occupation seems to consist in sour comment
on the words and deeds of others.

The editor of a college paper does not pretend to
present a panacea for the solution of every campus prob-
lem; he does not even claim that his judgment may be
the most mature or his ideas the best phrased. His re-
sponsible position, however, scarcely would permit him
to advocate a reform that was not the result of careful
thinking on his own part and the reflection of the
opinions and experiences' of at least some of his fellow
students. When, then, some individual who has neglected
some responsibility or who feels that he should be con-
sulted each time his name appears in print, makes com-
plaint, let him not do it until he has at least investigated
the causes for the editorial comment.

If the caustic critic is one of the perennial breed
present in every student body who is able to tell every-
one else how to handle his affairs but is scarcely capable
of conducting his own, he is always invited to write in
his opinions. If printable they will be published without
comment. If the thin-skinned individual is or is not
one of the student body, let him beware lest his wind-
mill-fighting tactics belie his position and his age. Amen.

*****
Ordinarily the last weeks of November are not thought
of as a particularly excellent time for nature study, but
a little careful observation is suprising. Carlos Campbell,
speaking in the well-governed Nature club last week,
gave our inate desire for adventure and discovery; the
worship of beauty in color and form in tree.;, mountains,
birds; the vigor of clear cold morning air and a brisk
hike; the ecstatic song of the Carolina wren; the beauty
of motion in a tumbling mountain stream, the bending
of a pine tree, or the flight of an insect; the deep inner
peace that comes from the absence of men and books
and buildings out in the silent woods. Make a bird-list
some morning as a beginning. In a few hours, even at this
time of year, you may see or hear the mockingbird, blue-
jay, meadowlark, tufted titmouse, Carolina wren, cardinal,
white- breasted i|uthatch, brown creeper, slate junoe,
catbird, chickadee, red-headed woodpecker, flicker,
bronzed grackle, and a dozen others right here on the
campus.

FIVE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL of little
Dandridge, over here in Tennessee, resigned this week
under pressure of citizens who insisted that the town
become dry. The president of "Ralph Lloyd's college" ia
seeking enactment of the same proposal designed to run
all places selling beer out of Maryville, in this town.
Whether or not we'll admit it, half the reason this college
binds us to it the way it does (you'd be surprised at the
number of chronic "gripers" who are homesick for this
place after they leave) is that we do not have to contend
with the alcohol problem, the subject matter of every
other editorial in some of our big university papers. Nor
can the Maryville breed help but be healthier with his
halls and rooms free of the reek of stale tobacco smoke
that assails the visitor to other school dormitories. We may
continue to rant against our social restrictions, which do
seem in a large measure unnecessary considering the type
of student the college carefully selects, but we don't regret
our alcohol and tobacco ban. Polonius, by the way, is not
a member of the W. C. T. U. or any other similar
organisation.

The HJeekly Filibustei

Btj SENATOR HEQNER

At Thanksgiving the Senator gives thanks to the
Echo for this opportunity to knock out another column.
Now just a word of explanation concerning the Senator:—
Two years ago a bumble-footed student from the North
aired his views and peddled his trivia thru a column
known to some as The Weakly Filibuster. It was known
to others under many different names, terms and epithets.
The Senator had an uncanny ability to stick hks neck
out, to put his foot in the wrong spot, and to shoot at
the wrong targets. Now he gives out cheap cigars, solicits
votes, and kisses all babies (over nineteen). Friends, it is
a serious job charting one's course over the tempestuous
waves of the sea of life.

The campus looks fine, in fact, smae as ever. Mr. Mac
is still a true friend, refusing to rent blankets to the
Senator, but willing to lend them. Kay Reed is the same,
she missed the point about the politician who had an add-
ing machine tattooed on his chest so that his constitu-
ents could count on him.

The genial Prof., known to comparatively few as a
"scientific farmer", still keeps the south forty of
Queeners Acres in corn, but we'll lay 2 to 1 that he lost
out in his battle with Mrs. Queener for a tractor. Shh,-
I'll let you in on a real secret if you won't keep it. This
summer the Sen snapped a candid shot of the prof
halfway up his eucalyptus tree, hand shading his eyes
while he peered out looking for a suitable spot to catch a
cat-nap instead of doing the morning chores. Perhaps
this mention will make him offer more for the negative,
the piker!

Colonel Paterson and the Senator came down from
Norwood, (only Ohio town to hold Maryville reunion at
a night club) to see E. R., a football game, the band, and
our friends. Senator took care of the first objective, we
missed out on the second and third, but rang the bell on
the fourth. However, we met the man behind the band.
If the band is half as good as its boss, you've got some-
thing, M. C.

This wouldn't be a Filibuster without some personal
cracks, so here goes. In two years Rip Collins has gone
from substitute to captain of the C. C. C, and Don
Stevens, charter member, is backing him up. Oh, beg
pardon, forgot that Mr. Underbough disapproved of Con-
stant Campus Courters remarks. Am sure he practices
what he preached. Moon brought his inferior poker home
to Norwood this fall. Thus the Senator can afford his
visit to the south.

Paul once told me how surprised he was when he

for sticking his leg under the truck and for sleeping
under an electric pad with the juice on. Bob and Bill
have treated the Senator swell, praise Allah and how
they shine! Would like to watch Ben in Pride and Preju-
dice and send him one of those helpful first act notes
signed,— Man In Front Row Balcony.

Waggoner, Brown and Proffitt are the same, chary
about the stogies offered to them. Used to think Harry
Rodgers Peterson carried bats in his belfrey, but saw him
Wednesday carrying bugs in boxes to a class in something.
Good old Pete, I knew him when. The latchstring at the
old mansion will not be out for Young and Craine after
they told me about that last train trip to Cincy.

Saw Colonel West striding along the street with that
old serious mien attached to his face. Give Walt a brief-
case and three years in law school,— then send him out
of the United States into Kentucky and he'll make a whiz
of a lawyer. Still think the Garr Brothers were guilty.
What about that Kentucky jestice, Walt?

Greeted Sam Fleming and was sorry to learn that
his femme has chosen other climes. Will give Sam's best
love to old pal Pettit. Have written about 700 words so
far, check to see how many cut out. And the Dickey
birds look just as good as they did the day they enrolled
in the palace of learning.

Unless I find some flashes at the Barnwarming, this
is the last. Have had fun, enjoyed visiting the campus,
and I won't fix anyone's traffic ticket in Norwood. Birds
twitter in the trees, rose petals float softly thru the air,
and the nightingale whistles the song of the lark, and,
as you have learned, you can't separate the rose from its
perfume, the bee from its honey, and the bull from the
bulloney, so — I'm happy about the whole thing.

The Senator.

Reporter Foxes
Lie Detector Of
Psychology Dep*t

By FRED RHODY

Crime was triumphant, temporarily,
yesterday, when your reporter emerged
the victor in a tussle with the psycho-
logy department's "lie detector" equip-
ment. On the second attempt, however,
justice prevailed and the experiment
definitely revealed the reporter's guilt.

During the past few weeks Roberta
Enloe, Howard Davis, William McGill
and Hartwell McCollum, of Dr. David
Briggs' experimental psychology class,
have been conducting experiments in
lie-detecting, with students as subjects.

The student is first given his choice
of several envelopes, each of which
contains directions for the commitment
of some specific crime, such as taking
a book from the library under a false
name. After the crime has been per-
petrated, the four Sherlocks proceed to
deduce what crime has been done.

Word-association, in combination
with the pneumograph, is the method
used in solving the mystery. A list of
words is read to the subject, who re-
sponds to each by immediately saying
the word which he first thinks. A tube
clamped tightly around his chest per-
mits fluctuations in his breathing to
be registered on a revolving smoked
cylinder by a needle attached to the
pneumograph.

When the experimenter comes to a
word in the list which is related in
some way to the crime committed, the
breathing of the subject is affected, and
the needle indicator jumps accordingly.
The length of time required for specific
answers is measured with a stop watch,
and is significant in determining the
subject's guilt or innocence. So, too,
is the nature of the word given in re-
sponse to the word pronounced by the
experimenter. For example, your re-
porter replied "book" to the word
"Wallace." Since Wallace is the author
of "Ben Hur," the library book in-
volved in this specific crime, this re-
sponse provided a clue.

By noting which words caused vari-
ations in the subject's breathing, which
words were answered too quickly or

The Wagabond

"The melancholy days are here,

The saddest of the year."

For amidst all the joys and fullnesses
of Thanksgiving comes also the peren-
nial cumulation of many old grads and
otherwise on the campus. Among these
legion there are those great journa-
lists (who says nix?) who insist upon
setting the college on the right track
by turning guest editorialists and
columnists. We felt obliged to ask Rep-
resentative Bagner to be our guess
column mess for this audition. We
quote from his work in full and the
Wagabond is in no way liable for what
he says.

We wish to thank the Representative

From thither and yon:

Prof. G. Dewey Howell: "You can
get as much iron by chewing a nail as

Of course, though, it depends on

And furthermore, babies food can
now be bought at the hardware stores

R. W. L. to his Theism students,
"Maryville is not an educational insti-

We wonder. I. M. Funk, definitionist,
says, "To educate is to develop the
natural powers." Certainly the erecting
of a new, powerful anti- moonshine light
above the bench behind the post-office
will not develop the natural powers.
Nay, it might even discourage the bash-
ful.

Well might have he added that old

axiom, "Don't let your studies interfere

with your college education."

R. R. Colbert, "At the last Messiah

THE HIGHLAND ECHO NOVEMBER 27, 1937

Woe is us. Woe indeed. After having Alabama's Mr.
Sanford spoil an otherwise perfectly good Thanksgiving
football game, we come home to find a sports page like
this on our hands.

As if one of these dire calamities were not enough to
tax the patience of a Job the intramural touch football
season goes and runs out on us, leaving embryomic basket-
ball and wrasslin' seasons to bear the entire burden.

What, indeed, is so rare as a good story in late No-
vember ; Then, if ever, come exceeding dull days.

BRING ON KENTUCKY

An interesting off-season football item is the fact that
Maryville's 1938 grid schedule is nearing completion.

Next year's team will play the same slate as this
year for the most part. The one notable exception at
present is the substitution of the University of Kentucky
Wildcats for Chattanooga's Moccasins.

This is a welcome development for those fans who
expect a Smoky Mountain Champion to emerge from the
ranks of the H8 squad.

Many of them can remember when Scot teams out
fought and out-clawed the 'Cats. There was a time when
the two teams fought on even terms, with no quarter
asked by either side-
In more recent years, under a little different regime,
the Kentuckians have lifted themselves out of Maryville's
class.

In 1935 it was 60-0, Kentucky; then, last season the
one field goal scored by the Scots provided balm for the
wounds of a 54-3 decision.

There is some hope for a different story in 1938.
Highlander prospects are at the highest peak since the
SMC pennant last floated in Maryville atmosphere, some
five years ago.

Only two men are lost from the first eleven by
graduation.

These two, James 'Cap'n Jim" Renfro, and Alternate
Captain James Proffitt, will leave big holes at center
and guard, respectively.

Filling these vacancies will be one of the tasks
facing the Scot mentors. But, if you happen to remember,
there was a similar, but even more severe, problem to be
solved at the end positions last September ; and the High-
landers came up with one of the best flank combinations
in the conference.

Yes, our fighting Highlanders may cause some em-
barrassment in the lair of the 'Cat next September.

"IF WE CAN REPLACE TWO OF THESE BOYS, WE'LL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE-"

Lettermen Refuse To Climb
On Any Limbs

By DOUG STEAKLEY

The axe fell for the first time on the
basketball squad, Wednesday, leaving
about 22 men out for the squad. These
22 include last year's lettermen and
reserves. Coach Honaker is preparing
for a heavy season i .is year, and he
plans to play several practice games
before the Christmas holidays. No

definite games have been scheduled
as yet however. Yours truly went
around to the different lettermen and
tried to get their opinions on the com-
ing season. Most of the boys, however,
were very close mouthed with their
information. By persuasion we managed
to extract the following:
Weldon Baird: "I don't want to seem
too optimistic, but I think we will be
in the race for that championship."
Captain Odell: "We lost a lot of good

us,
these men, we will be on the top with

the rest of them."

"Lefty" Hernandez: "Well boys, it is

going to be tough, but if some of these

freshmen come through, who can tell."

"Mac" Magill: "We have a tough

schedule facing us this year, and I don't

want to make any rash predictions.

But I think we will have a good team,

maybe not the champs, but they will

These are their predictions; now we
will add one of our own. If the boys
keep going like they have in the last
week of practice, they will be hard to
stop. The squad lost several good men
last year, and it will take a lot of work
to replace them. If we find someone
to replace that stellar basketeer
Hannah, the boys will really go to
town. Let us hope so anyhow.

INTRA MURAL
ITEMS

Now that football is over and the
juniors have been crowned champions,
with a well-balanced sophomore team
in second place, we can pause to look
back over the season as a whole, and
consider its success. Every game was
played on the day it was scheduled,
half of these being played on Wilson
Field. Out of the twelve games, only
two started with an insufficient num-
ber of players, and only one of those
went the whole first half' with one of
the teams lacking eleven men. Sports-
manship could have been better; but
when we think of such players as Lan-
caster, Ross, McCaskie, Rhody, Luxton,
Stevenson, and Peterson, who were
perfect sports through-out, the short-

from Proffitt's

comings of some of us seem relegated
to the background.

This column would like to give credit
to a player who for four years has by
his loyalty and sportsmanship held a
frail and failing team together, who,
despite the fact that until this year his
team had never won a contest, has
been on hand for every one of the
fourteen football games of his four
years; and who has never once been
heard to critize either the officials, his
opponents, or his own teammates. To
Win Ross, who certainly should be
acknowledged as the most valuable
player, we raise our hats.
VOLLEYBALL

Winter is about on us, and so we
must necessarily confine our sports to
the inside. While waiting for the time
to come to start our big favorite win-
ter sport, basketball, what say we try
our hand at still another hardwood
game, volleyball. If this sounds inter-
esting to you see your athletic direc-
tor and then come over to the Bart-

Each class will play each other team
once, each match consisting of three
out of five games. Watch the board for

Swimmers Present
South Sea Pageant
Tonight, 8 O'clock

Water Waltz by Mermaids

One of Many

Features

This evening at 8 o'clock the swim-
ming team, under the direction of
Coach Fishbach, will present the an-
nual water carnival in Bartlett pool.
Taking as its theme "The South Sea
Islands", the pageant and all the deco-
rations, as well as music and stunts,
will be in keeping with the subject.

June Myers, Mary Darden, and
Dorothy Quass, accompanied by Rusty
Wicklund, John Stafford, and John
Rippeth will give their interpretation
of a water waltz. As the beautiful mer-
mainds, accompanied by the three
gentlemen of the sea, swim gracefully
down the pool a string orchestra will
render real South Sea music to add
that last touch.

Climaxing the program, Ed Ciurcak
and June Myers will be crowned king
and queen of the Cannibal islands.
Following the crowning of the king and
queen, the 25 members, of the swim-
ming squad, assisted by four or five
girls, will present a program of fancy
and humorous diving, racing stunts of
various kinds, and many other events
which are in store for all those turn-
ing out for the great event.

The atmosphere of the carnival
created by strains of sleepy South Sea
music, the swaying of the grass skirts,
the trucking of the hula dancers, and
the splashing of the gentry of the sea,
will add much to the fame of the al-

Tied, 0-0

In the Turkey Day Classic, the
strong juniors, interclass champs, de-
feated the All Stars 7-0.

The score came in the closing min-
utes of play when "Red" McCaskie
tossed a long pass to Colombo, who
stepped over the goal line for the
touchdown. Bert Chandler completed
a short pass to McCaskie for the extra
point, making the score 7-0.

A handful of spectators turned out
to witness the struggle, but there
seemed to be a girls touch football
game being played at the same time,
and it seems as if most of the fans
were more interested in watching the
"gals" play. Oh well boys, maybe you
just lack that feminine touch.

Maryville College Farm

(Continued from page one)
The fine large barn houses one of the
prides of the college, Dave. Dave is a
saddle horse who can jig and do a fox
trot, and for this reason the men call
him a "banjo-picker." He is very
musical, and was taken to the college
chapel by some pranksters last Hallo-
we'en to learn to play the organ.

The barn is well equipped with a
large water tank which can provide
water for the cattle on cold or wet
days so that they will not have to be
out in the field. Foundations are laid
for an addition to the barn which will
connect it with the new concrete silo
built in the summer of 1936

The live stock of the farm includes,
in addition to the twenty cattle, six
heifers and 40 hogs. The hogs have a
secluded spot of the college woods
for their pen, and provide part of the
meat for the dining hall.

There are also four college men who
work on the farm in the afternoon.
George Millsaps, who is from Walland,
Tennessee, works in the field Cliff
Proctor, who has a New England way
of Mdling a mule; Bob Clements, who
bM « North Carolina touch in "moon-
shining* and Ls so adept at it that they
call him "sweetheart;" and Henry Mil-
Bson, who is from a Pennsylvania farm,
are the other workers.

The hundred and ten acres which
comprise the farm and its industry
make ft an important part of the col-

Because they are so many miles
from the nearest town, the women
must provide much of their own enter-

appropriate names: the ducks are

Miss Gaines feels that the experience
she is having is valuable to her in many
ways. She has gotten an understand-

rural America, the America that only
rates headlines when it does something
bizarre. It is the America that should

house to house and caring for those
who need her help.

too hesitatingly, and what words were
given as associated words, the sleuths,
Enloe, Davis, McGill, and McCollum
finally pinned the crime on the re-
porter, after failing in the first attempt
because they relied more on "hunch"
than on the evidence provided by the
lie detector.

Although apparatus of this nature is
by no means infallible, it is proving of
great value in the detection of crimi-
nals, especially in Chicago, where
Northwestern university uses it in
cooperation with the police.

The principle behind the lie detector
is that to lie requires an effort. By
means of delicate instruments in the
detector, traces of such effort can be
found in variations of the blood pres-
sure and respiration.

Pride and Prejudice Is Presented To
Large Crowd Friday Evening in Chapel

Pat Mann and Don Stevens Lead in Jane Austen's Adapted

Novel; Mrs. Nita Eckles West Was Dramatic

Coach of Player's Production

A large audience last evening enjoyed the College Player's performance
of Jane Austen's adapted novel "Pride and Prejudice", in Voorhees chapel.
Of an unusual quality were the stage sets, designed and executed by John
Wintermute and a number of assistants. The drawing room of the Bennet
home, the lavishly deco-
rated home of Lady Cath-i
erine, and the little corner
of the London flat were
all done with a finish that
left the audience uncon-
scious of the poor staging
facilities the chapel offers.
The outstanding perfor-
mances of Pat Mann as
Mrs. Bennet and Donald
Stevens as Mr. Bennet de-
lighted the audience with
their skilful use of the

matic supervisor of the successful pro-
duction. Roy Talmage was' given credit
for the extensive and well-conducted
advertising campaign which contribu-
ted to the financial as well as the dra-
matic success of the play.

Times Publisher
To Speak Dec. 8

Several men from the Maryville
college campus are taking part in the
Hi-Y conference at Alcoa, which con-
vened yesterday afternoon and will
close Sunday morning. Over 100 re-
presentatives from the Hi-Y's of East
Tennessee are attending the conference,
which is being held at the Alcoa high
school.

Dr. Frank McClelland, director of
personnel of Maryville college, will
address the conference at 9:30 to-
morrow morning on the subject "The
Challenge of Action."

Marvin Minear, president of the
Maryville college Y.M.C.A., spoke at
a devotional meeting at nine o'clock
this morning. John Stafford, of the
Maryville college Y.M.C.A. cabinet,
who is in charge of Hi-Y work as
affected by the college Y, is assisting
in some of the arrangements for the
conference. The male quartet com-
posed of John Magill, Carl Wells, Lloyd
Wells and Don McArthur sang at the
opening of the conference last evening.

The conference program includes a
sightseeing trip this afternoon through

Y Cabinet Meets Sunday

service in Bartlett auditorium. This

tions at Oxford, Ohio, December 27 to
January 1.

"International Politics", a book by
Frederick L. Schuman, well known
American political scientist, was re-
viewed by Otto Pflanze at a Peace
Forum meeting last evening at 6:40 in
the philosophy class room.

Schuman, a professor of Inter-
national Relations at Williams college,
believes that the next world war will
bring about the downfall of Western
civilization. At the very first rival
powers will strike at enemy centers
killing combatants and non-combatants
indiscriminately. In order to win a
modern war the will of the civilian
population to resist must be broken.

Only a radical change in inter-
national relations can save the world
from this destruction, Schuman states.
Nations must replace intolerance with
tolerance. The only hope for a lasting
peace is world unification.

Soloists for the presentation of Han-
del's magnificient oratorio, the
"Messiah", to be presented in Voorhees
chapel December 12, have been select-
ed and have been practicing for several
days according to Ralph Colbert,
director of the choir and orchestra.

They are Mrs. J. R. Mitchell, Nancy
Quinn, Ruth Wood, Harriet Barber,
Margaret Law, Robert Cusworth, Ed-
win Goddard, Ralph Reed, and Don
McArthur.

Mrs. Mitchell, a resident of Mary-
ville, will sing the famous soprano rair
"I Know That My Redeemer Liveth."
Nancy Quinn will sing the soprano
recitative "There Were Shepherds
Abiding in the Fields" and the soprano
air "Come Unto Him." The alto reci-
tative "Behold a Virgin Shall Con-
ceive," and the air "Oh Thou That
Tellest Good Tidings to Zion" will be
sung by Ruth Woods. Harriet Barber
will sing the beautiful alto air "He
Was Despised," and Margaret Law
will sing the alto recitative "Then
Shall the eyes of the blind be Opened",
and the air "He shall feed His flock
like a shepherd".

Probably the best known solo of the
Messiah is the tenor recitative "Com-
fort ye My People," which, with the
air "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted"
will be sung by Robert Cusworth.

Edwin Goddard will sing the bass

Thirteen pre-medical students took

Medical association as a method of
securing the relative fitness of pre-

teers Sunday evening after Vespers.

Approximately 85 Maryville students
and faculty members were among the
3600 persons who heard Grace Moore's
concert at the University of Tennessee
Memorial auditorium Tuesday evening.
Three buses were chartered to take
the Maryville students to and from
Knoxville.

Miss Moore, who is a native of East
Tennessee, received a tremendous
ovation from the audience, who called
her back five times for encores.

Her encores, all of which were re-
quests, proved to be the most popular
numbers that she sang. The first was
the "Gavotte" from Massenet's
"Manon", followed by "Ma Lindy Lou",
"The Old Refrain", and "Ciribiribin",
her radio theme song. Her last encore
was "Home, Sweet Home".

Miss Moore's program included
"Depuis le Jour" from "Louise", "Con-
nais-tu le pays" from "Mignon", Bizet's
"Curve ton coeur", "Waltz" of Aren-
sky-Koshetz, De Falla's "Sequidillia",
"Indian Love Song", "Serenade", "Ma

Christmas Vespers
To Be Held Dec. 5

The two day campaign in the interest of the work of Dr. Fred Hope in the
African Cameroun closed in chapel Thursday morning when students were
given an opportunity to pledge contributions to the work. The campaign was
conducted by Dr. Phillip J. May, an associate of Dr. Hope, in America on fur-
lough.

Students and faculty this year pledged $658.50 to the work. This is an
increase of approximately $84 over last year's pledges. The 218 people who
agreed to make contributions will do so in three installments, due January
25, February 25, and March 25.

There is no penalty for not fulfilling the pledges, and notices are posted in
the dormitories at the times payments are due. Last year there was an eight
percent loss in the amount of money pledged and the amount received. The

^Student-Help office, which has charge

of the campaign, announces that
pledges may still be received there.

Dr. May spoke upon three occasions.
At the Wednesday morning chapel
service he described the progress that
has taken place in Africa since the
first missionaries went to Elat, the
headquarters of Dr. Hope, 45 years ago.
He made clear the need for trained
workers in that country even though
much advance has been made in civil-
izing the natives.

Two films were shown Wednesday
evening. The first, an educational fea-
ture prepared by the Harmon founda-
tion, was a three reel description of
African life entitled "Africa Joins the
World." It showed the way Africa has
changed from a mysterious unknown
continent of savage barbarians to a
valuable source of the world's com-
modities in the years since it was first
explored by Dr. David Livingstone. The
second film was prepared by the
Foreign Mission board of the Presby- ,
terian Church in the U. S. A. and un-
der the title of "Jungle Drums Are
Calling" showed the work that is be-
ing done by Presbyterian missionaries
in Africa. Dr. May explained that in
the 50 years that missionaries have
been in the Cameroun 100,000 Africans
have become Christians.

His own experiences in Africa and
the remote section of the Cameroun
where he and his family were stationed
when they first went there in 1924 were
described by Dr. May on Thursday
morning at the regular chapel service.
He described the hardships of disease
that the missionaries must combat, and
presented what was once the Dark
Continent as still open for workers who
have a pioneering spirit.

Dr. Fred Hope graduated from Mary-
ville college in 1906 and went to Africa
in 1907. With the exception of his fur-
loughs, he has been working there ever
since. He is now superintendent of the
Frank James Industrial school, and on
his visit to the college last year at the
time of the campaign for his work he
told of the school and its operation.

Unprincipled
Education

In the current issue of The American Scholar, Datus
C. Smith Jr. gives a slap to what he calls high-principled
institutions, stating that "high principles have done more
harm to learning than indolence and stupidity combined."

His major premise seems to be that in order to serve the
ultimate good of society, colleges and universities must
forget all about "right" and "wrong" and devote them-
selves solely to the search for truth. "Moral judgment,"
Mr. Smith explains, "is a perishable commodity, likely to
turn sour after any length of time."

"It is only the unprincipled institution — the institution
that refuses to take sides — that can allow its scholars
to deal with realities and to speak what they believe
to be the truth. It is easy for a college to espouse high
principles, — but the moment it does this, it abandons the
high cause of honest scholarship."

Mr. Smith closes his essay with the following. "The
usefulness of universities derives from the fact that they
have no axe to grind. The minute they espouse some cause
they lose their charter in society. — It (the university) is
then on a par with the American Liberty League and the

Communist Party — each undeniably sincere, industrious,
and, according to its lights, high-principled, but each
starting with a predetermined moral judgment to which
the available facts are made to conform. — Is there no
place for unprincipled institutions?"

We heartily agree with some of Mr. Smith's inferences;
that too often the student's opinion is laughed down as
being hopelessly wrong unless it coincides with the pro-
fessor's; that too often the curricula and the teaching of
certain subjects are influenced unreasonably by the
source of college funds; that too often the only claims
Borne professors have that they can see both sides of the
issue is that they can see their side and the wrong side.

This matter brings up the old question as to whether
the university is under obligation to protect the students
against unsound doctrine. We think it is. But what is
unsound doctrine?

"And what can afford greater protection against it
(unsound doctrine) than free inquiry conducted by men
whose intellectual processes conform with the highest re-
quirements of true scholarship?" Askf Ogden Mills,
"Doesn't it all come down to picking a group of clear
thinking scholars, who are primarily scholars, balancing
♦he inevitable tendencies to right and left, and then
letting discussion rage?"

Our conclusion is that a professor who is sincerely
interested in finding the truth would present both sides
of the question fairly and that he would give an opinion —
and should be allowed to do so — reached by honest
study, not prejudice. A professor like this will never
hold the bulldogmatic view that everyone is out of step
but him.

Credenda...

Polonius

WE SAW AN EXCELLENT PLAY last night. With
the possible exception of "Craig's Wife" last year we
doubt if in our four years here Voorhees chapel has seen
a better-cast or better-staged production than "Pride and
Prejudice". For the casting and excellent direction all
credit goes to Mrs. West; for the unusually excellent
sets, John Wintermute, assisted by Maxwell Cornelius and
an efficient corps of assistants, is to be congratulated.
The lounge of Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the second
act was as well-done a set as any a professional designer
could plan or execute.

PAT MANN, WITHOUT DOUBT, turned in the out-
standing performance with her portrayal of the foolish
Mrs. Bennet. The part, as most of the others in the play,
could scarcely have been better cast. In expression, voice,
gesture, dramatic feeling, she was very good. She lost no
shade of Jane Austen's garish character nor a line of
Helen Jerome's dialogue.

DON STEVENS, AS THE AMUSING FATHER, very
nearly equalled his temperamental wife in excellence of
interpretation. His performance was head and shoulders
above the other male delineations. Sara Bolton, in her
brief appearances as spinsterish Miss Bingley, outper-
formed many who had heavier parts. Eleanor Brown, as
Lady Catherine, exhibited a poise and lack of self-con-
sciousness unequalled by any other member of the cast.
Bill Swearingen as the sweet Mr. Collins handled his
lines and gestures with complete utility of the humorous
character of his part.

OF THE THREE DAUGHTERS the naive Lydia, por-
trayed by Arda Walker, was the most complete character-
ization. Lois Black and Carol Ward, while handling their
dramatic situations very well, handicapped their own
ability and fine stage presence with a too-careful diction
which kept the listener conscious of speech text-books.
Gordon Bennett's dramatic ability was handicapped by
the stiffness and pride of Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy. Russell
Hirsch demonstrated an ability that will improve with
experience.

OF THE LESSER ROLES Emma Jane Kramer
handled her part with unusual sympathy. Jane Irwin's
brief appearance convinced Polonius that she deserved one
of the larger parts. Roy Talmage deserves a great deal
of credit for excellent management and advertising. On
the whole "Pride and Prejudice" has set a standard for
the 1937-38 Midwinter season that will be difficult for
the society groups to attain without a super-play.

Fits and Fizzles

Bu. FRED RHOD1J

The movie magnate and the editor lunch together ....

"Good afternoon, Piffensnoofle! What a gorgeous
spectacle this colossal day is!"

"Hello, Dimwitty. Yes, your correspondent has it on
the authority of a high official who declines to be quoted
that it is four-tenths of a degree warmer today than any
December 4 in 19 years."

"You simply can't afford to miss my super-special
favorite dish, Piffensnoofle — scalloped jumbo bumbo!
You raved over chicken ching chow! You thrilled to
noodles a la boodles! Yet scalloped jumbo bumbo will carry
you to the very heights of culinary perfection. Thousands
have already acclaimed its greatness!"

"That So? According to reports circulated by official
circles it is alleged that you have tied the nuptial knot
since we last met."

"Exactly. My martial bliss has reached the veritable
acme of sublimation. Hilarious comedy, heart-throbbing
romance, soul-gripping drama, stirring adventure — all this
packed into my fast-moving life; By the way— to which of
my marriages do you refer?"

"It is reported by an authoritative source close to
the management here that the mince pie is good today.
Shall we . . . Pshaw! Here comes that bore Woopendoople,
who is always talking shop!"

More Wisdom of Wozzie

Put not off thy term papers nor thy book reports nor
thy studying for finals until the Christmas vacation; for
lo, those days shall pass with the swiftness of the mail
truck, and behold, thou shalt not have accomplished thy
term papers nor thy book reports nor thy studying for
finals, and great shall be thy sorrowing and loud thy
lamentations.

If thou must needs moonshine, take heed that thou
moonshineth with one girl only; for verily, verily, a man
can not serve two masters: either he must divorce the
one and cling to the other, or else keep the one and shoot
the other. And great is the inconvenience either way
thereof.

Now is the accepted time, O ye of faith, to enter into
warm correspondence with all thy friends and relatives
whom thou hast ignored all year; forasmuch as the
Christmas season approacheth, and thou desirest a bath
robe, or a radio, or shirts, or a dresser set, or a watch, or
a typewriter, or a traveling bag. But put not too much
faith h thy Aunt Minnie or thy Uncle Hiram or thy
friends a her store up for thyself treasures in the bank,
or ( p- ;:pto theyself a charge account, in case Aunt
Minnie iaileth to come across.

Dee. 17 — Oh. it's good to be home! Tomorrow must
get started on that city probs paper.

Dec. 18 — If my typewriter weren't upstairs I'd start that
paper now. Let's see what's at the show.

Dec. 23 — Really must get at that city probs paper
after the excitement of Christmas is over.

Dec. 27— A long week in which to do my term paper
in city probs. No hurry.

Dec. 29 — Some time must start that paper, really.

Jan. 3— Oh dear, seems there is something I meant to
do during the holidays. Not much time. Wish I could think.

Jan. 5— So stimulating — spending your holidays really
doing something, instead of letting your work pile up.
Huh? What term paper?

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Last Bites

With the last echos of the past footbal campaign
fading into the distance along with prodigious quantities
of choicest turkey, we prolong the grid season long
enough to pass along a few observations on the annual
festivities held Thursday night at Pearsons hall.

First and most appropriate is a tribute to the taste
and efficiency with which the whole affair was conducted
by Miss Ware and the gals who passed the rations about
from one ravenous gridder to another.

All the three-score players and visitors packed away
copious portions of turkey, dressing, cranberries, hot
rolls, ice cream, and all the other delicacies of cuisine
placed in easy reach.

Truly, a swell time was had by all.

Some of the speeches, even, were pretty good.
Sage-hen vs. Turkey

Not the least tempting of the after-dinner morsels
was the rhetorical tid-bit offered by Coach Bob Thrower.

After making a few verbal passes at his old class-
mate and admirer, Toastmaster Griffitts, Coach Bob re-
marked as follows :

"Something reminds me of the story about the man
who said at a banquet, 'you've been eating turkey filled
with sage; now you will listen to a sage filled with tur-
key.' I'm. not a sage filled with turkey, but I am full of
chicken."

Which goes to show you that maybe they don't know
their poultry so well in the wide open spaces.
Unconfirmed

Then there was the remark by Dr. Griffitts quoting
Dr. Lloyd as follows:

. "A college must be endowed by degrees, mostly
honorary."

Or words to that effect
Amaters Come Through, Too.

To round out the speech-making there were delight-
ful discourses by retiring captains Renfro and Proffitt
and captain elect Burris and Odell.

All were masterpieces of oratory, no kiddin'. That
delivered by Jim Proffitt really had a flavor of the
speech department in it.

Jim Renfro was better than usual, too.

But then Jim has an edge on the other guys. Practice
makes perfect you know.

Speaking of Cap'n Jim reminds us— something was
over looked Thursday night; it was the election of a choir
leader to replace our departing captain. Now who can
carry on when the squad needs a little musical inspira-
tion on bus trips next year?

Flash Hughes and "Joe" Etheredge are two possi-
bilities. On second thought though, they can't sing. Still,
maybe that doesn't disqualify them.
Come Again

Among the illustrious alumni were Coaches J. D.
Davis, Steve Boretsky, and Jim Holloway, of Everett,
Maryville, and Alcoa High, respectively.

Though none of them made speeches, all made their
presence felt.

Ask the turkey.

Al Burris, 150 pound Scot signal caller of the past
two seasons, was elected 1938 captain at the annual foot-
ball banquet held Thursday night in Pearsons hall.

John "Junior" Odell will serve as alternate captain,
succeeding Jim Proffitt.

this year and will probably rate a
number of the all -conference selections.

An equally brilliant performer since
being shifted to end, O'dell was one
of the most colorful players in the loop.
His kicking, passing, and end play rate
a place on the 1937 all-star teams.

Those addressing the group were
President Ralph W. Lloyd, Dean E. R.
Hunter, Dr. J. H. McMurray, Prof. G.
D. Howell, Mr. F. L. Proffitt, Coaches
Thrower and Honaker, retiring Cap-
tain Jim Renfro and James Proffitt,
and Al Burris and Junior Odell. Dr. F.

A. Griffitts acted as toastmaster.

The ability and spirit of the squad
were praised by Coach Honaker, who
said, "We started the season depending
on a backfield composed mostly of
freshmen. The fact that they came
through wasn't quite enough to bring
us the championship, but for a team
counting so much on new material to
come so close is pretty good, I think.

"Next year, with only two of the
regulars gone, we should be better
than we were this year."

The banquet, held in Pearsons hall
under the supervision of Miss Margaret
S. Ware, was attended by sixty play-
ers and guests.

Second Week of
Grunting Drills

Squad Expected to Reach

Maximum Before

Christmas

The personnel of the wrestling team
is approaching the point expected of
it this week, as some of the veterans
of last winter are beginning to report.

Obie Jenkins, who worked in the
175 and heavyweight divisions last
year has been at practice this week
since Monday, and several of the
others being counted on for service
will probably swing into action before
another week has passed.

Coch Bob Thrower has been putting
his grunters through a bit more ad-
vanced program this week, with a
number of two and three minute con-
tests being staged. As a result of these
informal clashes some of the newer
matmen are showing signs of develop-
ing into valuable additions to the 1938
outfit.

In the 118 pound group Paul Pre-
vetta, stocky freshman candidate, has
been outstanding so far among the
newcomers.

The middle weight divisions have
been largely dominated by sophomore
and junior aspirants, with Edgar
Meares and Bill Short showing to best
advantage so far. Most of the men in
these weights have had some previous
experience on the mat. The return of
Jim Renfro to action will greatly aug-
ment the strength of either the 155 or
165-lb. position, depending on which he
chooses to work in this year.

of St. Louis, will lead the music for the
fifteenth consecutive year.

Dr. Barbour is in constant demand
as a speaker and civic leader. Recently
he was toastmaster at the banquet of
the University of Tennessee's football
team. Students of the university attend
his church, and he has had experience
in working with collene groups.

The statement from the president's
office concerning Dr. Barbour follows:

Dr. Barbour is forty-two years of
age and is a native of Pittsburgh, his
father and mother coming there from
England. He is a graduate of the
University of Pittsburgh and of the
Western Theological seminary in Pitts-
burgh, holds also a Master of Theology
degree from Western seminary, a
Doctor of Philosophy degree from the
University of Edinburgh, Scotland,
where he was a student for two years,
and the honorary degree of Doctor of
Divinity from Maryville college, which
he serves as a Director.

For two years Dr. Barbour was an
assistant to Dr. Hugh Thompson Kerr
in the Shadyside Presbyterian Church
of Pittsburgh, giving special attention
to work with students of the University
of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute
of Technology. For three years he
was pastor of the Herron Avenue
Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, and
for ten years has been in Knoxville.
Dr. Barbour is the author of a book,
"Sin and the New Psychology," pub-
lished by Abingdon Press and also by
George Allen and Unwin, and has
written various published articles. He
was a member of the Presbyterian
Board of Christian Education for ten
years, is the Dean of the School of
Religion of the University of Tennessee,
and holds various offices.

Dr. Barbour has always been closely
related to college life. He is quite a
remarkable personality. His sermons
are brief, simple, intellectual, and
spiritual. One of the effective phases
of his work in Knoxville is a sort of
clinical conference which he holds
several days a week for people in
trouble and he gives each Thursday
wholly to meeting people sent to him
by various social agencies of the city.

Reporter Digs Up M. C. Catalog

Of Not-So-Gay Ninety Period

by ARLENE PHELPS

"The Catalogue of Maryville College,
1895-1896," lists three courses of study
for the collegiate and preparatory de-
partments: the classical course, the
Latin-scientific course, and the Eng-
lish-scientific course. In this catalogue
Maryville is stated to be "a pleasant
and thriving town of about 2500 in-
habitants. There is no saloon in Blount
county. Maryville is widely known as
'the town of schools and churches'." As
to rhetorical drill, "all students of the
college, meeting in different classes,
participate in the weekly rhetorical
exercises. One essay and one declama-
tion each month are required of all."

"The faculty meet every week of the
college year, and receive reports of the
work done in all the departments and
of all the delinquencies of individual
students. Every month a record is
made of the standing of each student,

which is sent to his parents or guardian
at the end of each quarter."

"The four literary societies connected
with the institution are the greatest
benefit to those who faithfully avail
themselves of all the advantages they
offer. The societies are Bainonlan,
Theta Epsilon, Athenian, and Alpha
Sigma, all of which meet in Anderson
Hall."

The expenses of students for rooms
in college buildings are $3.00 per ses-
sion, or $6.00 per year. The tuition bill
is $12.00 per year. The heat bill in the
halls is $3.00 per term. Board in the
Cooperative Boarding club costs about
$1.20 per week. The entire expense for
the students for board, tuition, room
rent, fuel, light, washing, will be $80
to $125 per year.

"The rooms in Baldwin hall are fur-
nished with bedsteads, washstands and

Fifth Annual Presentation at Maryville College To Bo

Sunday Afternoon in Chapel, 2:30 O'clock;

Symphony Orchestra to Accompany

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, in Voorhees chapel, a group of over 200
students, faculty, and townspeople will present George Fredrick Handel's
oratorio, "The Messiah," one of the greatest choral works ever written. The
chorus, comprising in part the combined glee clubs and the choir, accompanied
by the Maryville college little symphony, will be under he direction of Ralph
R. Colbert, regular conductor of these organizations.

The solo airs and recitatives will be sung by Mrs. J. R. Mitchell and
Nancy Quinn, sopranos; Harriet Barber, Margaret Law, and Ruth Wood, altos;
Robert Cusworth, tenor; and Don MacArthur, Edwin Goddard, and Ralph
Reed, basses.

y The text of the "Messiah" is taken

from the literal words of the old and
new testaments, arranged by Charles
Jennes. Handel wrote the music in a
period of 24 days in 1741, at the age of
56. The same year he was invited to
Ireland as guest of the Lord Lieutenant,
and it was while there that the
"Messiah" was first performed, in Dub-
lin, on April 12, 1742. Such was the
excitement aroused by the advertise-
ment of its impending presentation,
that the men agreed to attend without
their swords, and the women without
hoops, by which device, a seventh more
room was reported to have been ob-
tained.

Tickets for this world premiere sold
at half a guinea, and the proceeds went
to the relief of various Dublin hospitals
and prisons. Following this altruistic
precedent, today the "Messiah" has
contributed more money to charity
than any other work of art.

The first English performance of the
"Messiah" was in March, 1743, at Co-
vent Garden theatre, London, at which
memorable occasion George n became
so enraptured at the majesty of the
Hallelujah chorus that on the words
"For the Lord omnipotent reigneth" he
involuntarily stood up, a custom
followed by "Messiah" audiences ever
since.

The 'Messiah" was given 34 times
during the remaining years of Handel's
life, and his last public act was to
direct this favorite work. It has re-
mained the most performed and best
known of all oratorios, and every
Christmas finds many of the world's
great artists engaged in its presentation.
The history of the "Messiah" at
Maryville has been a relatively short
one, having been introduced in 1933 by
J. Alvin Keen, a graduate of the West-
minister choir school, and Mary
Frances Henry, former voice instructor
here.

Skeleton In Closet Proves As

Human As Maryville Sophomore

By WARREN ASHBY

The exploring student will find deep
in the vaulted recesses of the third
floor of Fayerweather several figures,
in the best meaning of the word.
Those two that look like ancient Egy-
ptian mummies aren't ancient or
Egyptian at all but are biology assis-
tants. They aren't important though.
The figure that counts here is the
frame work of a man, dead these many
years.

In recent decades there has been
much speculation as to how that for-
mer being met his death, and why. The
conservative school of archaeologists
on the campus insist that he is one
of the noted few in the annuals of his-
tory to die a natural death— at the ripe
old age of sixteen. This can be ex-
plained by the fact that they had no
automobiles or orators then.

But the more radical clan of archae-

ologists in our midst (they are the
Democrats) contend that he died after
sixteen springs and one fall, all be-
cause the hangman couldn't keep his
mouth shut and the Scots were too
anti-liberal to give him a rope long
enough to reach bottom.

Anyway he is there. And after first
hearing that he was nothing of his
former self, we spent many sleepless
nights wondering just how he did meet
his doom— and if he had his boots on
at the time. Taking faith in our powers
of spiritualism and mental telepath-
eticism (we made up that word) we re-
solved to sit at his feet and take know-
ledge from him.

Someone else had already borrowed
his boots, that is what we first noticed.
Just a wisp of a fellov is he now and
we were moved to tears to think that
one so fair was with us no more.

Hunter to Read Poetry

THE DICKENS OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL

(Note: The characters in this play are purely products
of the imagination. To any preson who believes himself to
be the prototype of one of the characters, we can only say
that his conscience is troubling him.)

Act I. Scene: Maryville college classroom. Outside,
snow is falling, distant voices join in merry Christmas
carols, the Christmas tree lights twinkle, and the holiday
spirit prevades the campus. Seated at his desk is Prof.
Scrudge, a lowering scowl on his sour countenance. He is
avidly reading volume eleven of "How to be a Susseccful
Killjoy in Ten Columes; or A Succinct Collection of Bi-
ographies of Famous Wet Blankets." The cracks of the
closed window sashes are stuffed with paper, and Scrudge's
ears are packed with cotton— he hates Christmas carols—
the very word "Christmas" makes him choke with rage.
As the students come into the room, Scrudge's face assumes
its type XZ-2 scowl, which is reserved for such occasions
when he feels especially mean.
STUDENTS: Merry Christmas, professor!
SCRUDGE: Aw, rats! If I had my way, every student who
goes around with "Merry Christmas" (gag! gag!) on his
lips would be given eight demerits the first time, flunked
the second, and sent home the third. Merry Christmas!

(gag!) What have you to be merry about?
STUDENTS: Well, we have you for only one course.

SCRUDGE: There will be an examination over the entire

course to date on Thursday morning.

STUDENTS: But professor, the holidays begin Thursday.

Where's your Christmas spirit?

SCRUDGE: Rats! Reading reports will be due Thursday,

also.

(End of Act I. The curtain falls, the snow falls, tomatoes

and cabbages fall — everything falls!)

Act II. Scene: Scrudge's bedroom. Scrudge is sleeping.

A swirl of snow entering the window becomes a group of

ghosts, clanking their chains.

1st. Ghost: Br-r-r (clank! clank!) Shut that window. I'm

freezing to death with only one sheet on — the other is at

the laundry.

SCRUDGE: (Sitting up): What do you want with me,

ghosts?

GHOSTS: Moo-o-o-o! We are the spirits of students you

have sent to early graves, come to get in your hair and

haunt you.

1st. Ghost: Remember me, Scrudge? I went insane when

you flunked me for smiling openly in class one day.

2nd. Ghost: And I, Scrudge, I died of heart break when

you refused to let me and my little bonfire sit side by side

in class.

3rd. Ghost: I committed suicide because I couldn't get all

the work done which you assigned over the Christmas

holidays one year.

GHOSTS: The clanking of our chains shall ever haunt
your ears,
Your days shall full of sorrow be, your nights

with fears,
Until you loose our fetters — set us free again,
By showing that you're fit to live with fellow

men.
And we advise that it will be an act of pru-
dence,
If you begin by being kind to all your students.
Act III. Scene: Classroom, next morning. Through the

open windows drifts sound of Yule music. Scrudge, dressed

as Santa Clause, climbs out of the steam radiator. He

begins to distribute sticky, sugar candy, toy ponies and

alphabet blocks (with nothing but A's on them) to the

students.

SCRUDGE (aside): I'm doing what the grisly spectres bade,
Yet still their chains are driving me near

mad.
Perchance I haven't hit upon the clew;
To still those clanking chains what must I do?
GHOSTS (from above): Call off the test and book report
and then
The chains will fall: we'll all be free again.
SCRUDGE: Instead of the test Thursday we'll have a
Christmas (no gag) party— on me!

STUDENTS: Merry Christmas to all, and you'll have a
truly merry one if you'll stop at your nearest druggist
tomorrow and buy a package of Captain's Little Liver Pills!
(Curtain rings down amid thunderous applause, leaving
Scrudge standing at the window throwing ten dollar bills
to the carolers in the street below.)

"It's me who is Angus O'Riley. Sounds
Frenchie doesn't? Tain't though cause
I'm Scotch-Irish. Me mither and fither
were Scoots but I are so many potatoes
that the O'Riley just mashed out in
me."

"Well Angus, glad to know you.
We're a wee bit tight ourselves. But
would you mind telling us how you
died?"

"Faith mon and I cawn't. For 'tis me
who always had a weak heart. But I
will tell you about my life."

He did. A very unusual and inter-
esting story it was about an Irish lad
who, disappointed in his fifth love
affair, decided to come to America and
reform the country by joining the
New York police force.

"Thanks," we reiterated, "you're not
so dumb yourself."

"Arumph! Right you are. Course I'm
no spring chicken any more but — "

Again we wondered. Had he noticed
any change in world conditions.

"Why, when I was a lad," O'Riley
sjeaking, "we had to gQ out and make
our own living. But now all you have
to do is go to college (the first four
years are always the hardest) and
moonshine. Why, I tell you the world
is going to the bow-wows. Arf! Arf!"

And could Angus, business tycoon
that he was, explain the faults of the
economic and social affairs of our
government? He vociferated:

"As for the social affairs we need
more "As-You-Love Hers'. Economi-
cally speaking, what this country needs
is a good, big eight cent nickel. Then
you could buy a three cent newspaper
and still have the nickel for a choco-
late cone! And I'm going to tell Mr.
Morgenthau, too!"

"Just one more question Angio.
What do you honestly think of Mary-
ville college and her professors and
rules?"

"Why I think—"

Fate always intervenes. Or if it
wasn't fate it was those Egyptian Bio-
logy assistants:

"All right, you. Time to close shop."
"Yes, mummy. We were just getting
ready to leave. Have a good meal,
Angus, and don't take life too serious-
ly."

Only a groan.

THE WAGABOND

Pious Scotland Donaldson, prexy of
the lowest class, recently recovered
from his bashfulness and quietitude
long enough to apply for membership
in the Ministerial association and to
take the strenous Entrance Exami-
nation. Quoting from his exam paper:

Ques: What religious instruction
have you received?

Ans: None.

Ques: By whom was it given?

Ans: By the minister.
Rev. Donaldson failed the exam.
« • • •

We were wondering what was go-
ing to happen in the future lives of
the three quietist scholars on the cam-
pus: Willum Mooney, Miles Diles, and
Alex "Y-Store" Stevenson (ad.) So
we looked into our tea leaves and
found —

In the year 1960. Three men, weary of
the world's clamor and strife returned
to Maryville to seek shelter from the
weary's of the world. To state it simply:
they became hermits.

So they got Jack together and built
a hut. Time marched on. All was
peaceful and quiet and solitudinous.
At the end of the first, year after a
few months of pre-thought Bill start-
led his companions by saying, "It's a
fine life we're leading here."

Another year passed and Miles, in-
spired by the brilliant words of his
co-recluse remarked, "It is."

For the third straight time a year
passed (must be a coincidence) and
then Russell, disgusted at the constant
chatter of his fellow hermits broke in
with, "If I can't get peace and quiet
here, I'll go back to the world!"

THE SPORTS EDITOR

Gone— But Not Forgotten

It seems as if every now and then the honorable
sports editor takes a vacation from his regular post. This
week his excuse is business— Oh well, such is life. Needs
be it that someone must take up the pen and fill in the
empty position left by our most worthy one. So this week
if "On the Bench with the Sports Editor" is not up to its
usual par, don't be after Mr. Byrne's scalp.
Basketball Sidelights

The first game of the basketball season was played
last Thursday evening, with the Scotties showing lots of
spirit and pep. A nice crowd was out too, that always
helps the team out a lot. So let's keep up the good work,
fans, and help cheer the Scotties on to more victories.

We cannot help but notice with pride the way some
of our freshmen played. Several of them turned in fine
performances, let's hope they can keep up the good work.
We are going to need them before the season is over.

Did you see the way Lefty Hernandez was sinking
those long shots? And "Flash" Magill can still swish those
one-hand push shots.

Some of the bad points — poor defense, easy shots
missed, too many fumbles. Oh well — all of these come in
any game, and this is only the first game of the season.
We should give the boys credit, Knoxville had a pretty
tough team here for the boys.
Flash

We just got the news that Carson-Newman was de-
feated by the Knoxville Y team that played here last
Thursday evening. The Carson-Newman Eagles have al-
ways been the jinx team for Maryville. If we can whip
the team that whipped the team, and etc., it should mean
something. We hope so.

Ma t men Prepare
To Defend Title

Only Three Lettermen Re-
port To Squad

The close of the third week of
wrestling practice under the tutelage
of Coach Bob Thrower finds a squad of
twenty-five preparing for a defense of
state laurels won last winter for the
seventh straight time.

As yet only three lettermen are on
hand from the teams of previous years.

Fred Tulloch, sophomore, who made
a very good showing in his debut as a
grunter last season, is the only ex-
perienced heavyweight at this time. His
only running mate is Howard Dizney,
215 pound freshman from Harlan,
Kentucky. Kept out of the heavy mat
work since football season with a bad-
ly cut hand, suffered in the Teachers
game, Tulloch is not expected to be in
shape before the first meet, to be held
here January 15, with the Knoxville
YMCA team.

In the 175 pound class, Obie Jenkins,
who saw some service last year, re-
turns to the fold as the outstanding
candidate for that position.

Jim Renfro, Scot captain in both
football and wrestling this year, will
fill either the 155 or 165 pound spot.

The only other letterman returning
is Edgar Meares, who was out of school
last season. He will fill in at the 135 or
145 pound post, depending on where
he is needed most.

The other positions on the team are
still wide open and must be filled by
freshmen and new prospects.

If all these later additions come
through there is at least an even chance
of repetition as Tennessee champs in
1938.

Scotties Select
All SMC Eleven

There is no secret as to the Mary-
ville Highlanders' choice of the best
performers in the Smoky Mountain
Loop this season.

Dominant on the All-SMC team
picked Tuesday by members of the
Maryville Football team are the Scots
themselves.

In filling out a questionnaire circu-
lated by a Knoxville newspaper, the
boys all placed at least four Maryville
men on their selections. Some included
as many as six of their team mates.

Aside from a possibility of team
loyalty, the main reason for the in-
clusion of a top-heavy local repre-
sentation is the theory advanced by
Coach Honaker, that "the boys, like
most of the coaches, don't know just
who they are playing against most of
the time, so they have to pick names
they know."

But, maybe there just weren't any
better men in the conference at their
positions than Burris, Odell, Tulloch,
Renfro, Proffitt, Etheredge, et al.

The players receiving most votes
were:

Hale, of King, and Renfro, centers;
Monday, of Carson-Newman, and Prof-
fitt, guards; Gavlak, of King, and
Tulloch, tackles; McClellan, Milligan,
Johnson, of King, and Odell and Ether-
edge, ends; Burris, quarter (unani-
mous); Hughes, Allison, of King, and
Wilson, of Appalachian, halfbacks; and
Howington, of Milligan, and Clark, of
Teachers, fullbacks.

Honakermen Open Season With

42-34 Win Over Knoxville Y.M.C.A.

Scotties Show Offensive Power As Magill and Hernandez

Lead Scoring

In the first game of the season, the
Maryville cagers turned back a fight-
ing Knoxville Y.M.C.A. team 42-34.

The Scotties showed the visitors a
strong offense, scoring readily from
both the field and under the basket.

The Y. team proved to be no easy
victim for the Maryville quintet, al-
though outscored in the first half, they
came back strong in the third quarter,
threatening several times to take the
lead. The third quarter was one of
those see-saw affairs, with both teams
scoring at will. The Scotties defense
tightened in the fourth quarter, and
they managed to outplay the men from
Knoxville.

Moore, of Knoxville, and Howard
Magill, Scottie forward, were the high
scorers of the game, each of them net-
ting six field goals and one free-throw
for a total of 13 points. "Lefty" Her-
nandez, veteran Maryville guard, came
next, scoring five field goals for a total
of 10 points.

Hernandez and Magill were the two
stars for Maryville. Lefty Hernandez

was a stone wall on the defense, and he
kept the visitors on the edge all of the
time with his long shots. Mac Magill
was the Scots sparkplug. His flashy
playing and spectacular shooting kept
the game on ice most of the time.

Several of the reserves played well
for their first showing in varsity com-
petition.

This was the first showing of the
Honakermen this season. Although we
only have four lettermen back for the
year, the team promises to give the
SMC conference a quintet of high
calibre.

tables. The rooms in Memorial Hall
were once furnished by the college,
but hereafter the young men must
provide any article that may be miss-
ing."

Administrative rules were something
of what they are today, but there were
only ten then. Smoking was enough to
exclude a student from living in
Memorial hall. Students were not per-
mitted to engage in dramatic enter-
tainments, and had to secure special
permission before engaging in any en-
tertainment outside the college. Stu-
dents were not allowed to patronize
the Sunday train— no student would be
received on the Sabbath.

The new heating system was so
noticeable that it occupied some space
ki several catalogues of different years.
Much explanation is given as to the
way the system operates, and the fact
that it was installed at an expense of
$10,000.

Improvement! "Among the improve-
ments made are a system of water
works, by which water from a stream
passing through the College grounds is
carried throughout the different build-
ings; and the fitting up of a number

of baths in the two dormitories. Stu-
dents now do not have to carry water
or fuel up flights of steps."

In the catalogue of the next year, the
college department had 121 students,
and the preparatory department, 217;
making a total of 338 students. In 1904,
there were 484 students.

There are no noticeable changes in
the catalogue of 1896-97 except perhaps
for the following rule: "all unexcused
delinquencies are registered; and when
the number amounts to fifteen, notice
thereof is given to the student, and
to his parents or guardians. When the
sum of unexcused delinquencies and
demerits amounts to 25, the student
ceases to be a member of the College.
A delinquency is a failure to perform

any college duty."

In the 1904 catalogue the fall term
begins September 6 and closes Decem-
ber 23; the winter term begins January
3, and closes March 17; and this spring
term begins March 20, and closes May
30. The climate, a new factor in the
Maryville bulletin, is that "young peo-
ple from the north and other sections
are greatly benefited in health by a
year in Maryville, and many take their
entire course here."

Hunter Announces
Course Offerings
Schedule Changes

New Courses Arranged In

Schedule For Second

Semester

Dr. E. R. Hunter, director of cur-
riculum, today announced the follow-
oing changes in course offerings and in
schedules for the second semester.

French 250, French Composition, will
be given again in the second semester
at the "c" period; Miss Wilkinson.

History 310, The Teaching of History
and the Social Sciences in the High
School, is offered for the first time
this year. It is scheduled at the "e"
period; Miss Jewell. This course meets
the needs of those who wish to qualify
for the teaching of history and other
social subjects in states which call for
a special methods course in the sub-
ject to be taught.

Latin 3 and 4, Fundamentals of
Language Study, although being offer-
ed now for the second time, is mention-
ed here, because it is especially design-
ed to meet the needs of students who
have difficulty with language study. It
meets six days a week at the "d" period
and carries six hours of credit; Miss
Bassett. This may be counted for credit
when followed by a year of Latin,
Latin 11-12, or when followed by two
years of successful work in another
language.

Home Economics 318, Housing Pro-
blems, will not be given this year, but
is planned for next year. Home Eco-
nomics 320, Institutional Management,
will be given next semester. This is
a continuation of the course bearing
the same title, Home Economics 317,
now being given. A third section of
Home Economics 102, Freshman Foods,
will be provided at the "c" period. Miss
Meiselwitz will have both of these ad-
ditional courses.

English 322, Twentieth Century
Literature, completes the series of 7
period courses intended to survey the
development of English literature from
the beginning to the present. Material
on poetry, drama, short story, and novel
will be read. This course is given at
the "a" period, Mr. Hunter.

Kathryn Meisle Appears On
Artists' Program

Approximately 50 students and
faculty from Maryville, attended the
Knoxville Artist series Wednesday
evening at the First Methodist church.
Knoxyille.

The artist was Miss Kathryn Meisle,
who made her professional debut with
the Minneapolis Orchestra in 1921, and
two years later was engaged to sing
leading contralto roles with the Chi-
cago Civic Opera company. Miss Meisle
has had not only a successful operatic
career, but has also been called the
"Ideal Festival Star," with appearances
at the Ann Arbor, North Shore, Lind-
borg, Spartanbuurg, Westchester, Cin-
cinnati, Springfield, and Newark festi-
vals. Recently she was voted on
honorary member of the National
Federation of Music Clubs and has
been awarded the degree of Doctor of
Music by the University of Southern
California.

Maryville Profs
Publish Several
Articles Lately |

Papers Written by Hunter,

Campbell, And

Hussey

Two Maryville professors and one
former professor have recently had
articles published in some of the best
known literary journals. They are Dr.
Edwin R. Hunter, Dr. Claude A. Camp-
bell, and Dr. George B. Hussey.

Dr. Hunter's paper appeared in the
October issue of the Shakespeare
Association Bulletin. It was entitled
"Macbeth as a Morality." The head of
the English department had read this
paper before the faculty club at one
time and it was published after having
been re-worked several times. It is
in one installment in the Bulletin,
which is one of the most important
literary journals since it is the only
one which carries a Shakespeare biblo-
graphy.

The ninth issue of the Publication
of the East Tennessee Historical society
contained Dr. Campbell's article. He
wrote on "Banking and Finance in
Tennessee During the Depression of
1837." The associate professor of eco-
nomics dealt with conditions which
arose in Tennessee as a result of
President Andrew Jackson's veto of
the act rechartering the National
Bank and which resulted in the estab-
lishment of many state banks.

Dr. Hussey, who was once head of
the language department of the Col-
lege, had his article published in the
October issue of Classical Philology.
It was entitled "Defense of the Read-
ings of BT in some passages of Plato's
"Statesmen," and is a text or criticism
of the work.

Dr. E. R. Hunter, director of cur-

of English, attended the meeting of
the American Folklore society held at
Yale university during the holidays.
Dr. Hunter represented the Tennessee
Folklore society, of which he is secre-
tary and editor of the Bulletin.

The meeting, which lasted for two
days, was devoted to papers and dis-
cussions on folklore throughout the
country. Dr. Hunter presented a re-
port of the work of the local society.

One of the highlights of the pro-
gram was the talk by Dr. Franz Boaz,
eminent folklorist and a former head
of the department of Anthropology at
Columbia university, on "Fifty Years
of Folklore Study in America."

Dr. Hunter spent the rest of the
week in New York, witnessing seve-
ral outstanding offerings of the pre-
sent dramatic and musical season.

Reporter Gets Several Surprises In

Going Through Maryville Museum

By OTTO PFLANZE

Tucked away in a corner of the lib-
rary, Maryville has a splendid col-
lection of 1,355 museum pieces that
few students know anything about.
There are books dating from the six-
teenth century, idols from far off China,
Indian relics, and a thousand other
things of interest.

Dottie Haines, assistant to museum
keeper, Miss Hallock, took me through
the museum Thursday, and I was con-
siderably surprised at the contents.
In one glass-topped case we found a
large Bible. I turned its yeUowed pages
and thought, "Hm, must have been
printed back in 1800 some time." And
then out of a clear sky, Dottie, in her
best guide-book tone observed, "That
Bible was printed in 1521." Imagine
the astonishment of a poor gull who
hadn't handled anything older than
Grandpa's snuff box.

There is a fine collection of Chinese
objects. One thing which caused me
no little surprise was a shoe three
inches long. Dottie explained that it
was made for the bound feet of a
Chinese woman. There are also a num-
ber of idols like one sees pictured in
the National Geographic. One lingers

longest, however, over a number of

exquisitely carved wooden figures de-
picting Chinese scenes. They are so
delicate it seems impossible that human
hands could have made them.

Among other objects too numerous
to mention, the museum has a col-
lection of weapons. Two long murder-
ous looking spears, a bow, and some
arrows come from the Phillipines. An
Indian war club with the hair of some
tribal foe still clinging to its edge is
a product of the Cherokees who used
to inhabit East Tennessee. By far the
most interesting, however, is a long,
clumsy gun labeled "Boxer gun." The
weapon was used in the Boxer Re-
bellion. It's so large and heavy that it
must have taken two men to fire it.

A large section of the museum is
given over to a geological display.
There used to be a geology department
in connection with the college, and it
had a large collection of specimans.
When the department was discontin-
ued, these specimans were dumped into
three huge boxes and their identifi-
cation lost. Stone Norton and Gene
Crane, the boys you see working in
that cubby hole next to the Chilhowean
office in the afternoon, are having no
little trouble sorting them out again.

(Continued en page four)

The college Little Symphony and the
Concert band both resumed rehearsels
this last week. The two organizations,
under the direction of Ralph Colbert,
will hold regular rehearsels weekly in
preparation for public performances.

The Little Symphony of 30 pieces is
again at work on a program of classics
to be presented at their annual concert
this spring. Beethoven's "Egmont"
overture and Strauss's "Talcs From
the Vienna Woods" are being prepared,
in addition to one of the Brahms
symphonies. The orchestra will also
provide the music for the light opera
"Iolanthe," to be presented next semes-
ter by the combined glee clubs. This
popular Gilbert and Sullivan creation
is the successor to the "Mikado" which
won high favor and a presentation in
Knoxville last year. Dates for both the
concert and the glee club presentation
are as yet tentative.

The Concert band has been organized
from the field band that represented
Maryville on the football field last fall.
Numbering some 40 pieces, the per-
sonnel will meet in future rehearsel
periods to work on a program for their
annual concert, to be presented next
semester. In addition to their concert
performance, they will participate in
the May day program, as they did last
year.

Dr. Lloyd To Attend
College Association
Meetings In Chicago

The coming of Orlando Barera to
Maryville college on next Friday
evening brings to Maryville music
lovers the rare opportunity of hearing
one of the rising young musicians of
the day. Almost unknown until a year
ago, Barera has already won the praise
of music critics in the larger cities of
the east and continues on his 1938
tour with his recital in Voorhees
chapel.

Choosing for his program selections
from Beethoven, Lalo, Pizzetti, Pilati
and the immortal Paganini, the young
Italian artist will present a program of
rare balance. Barera will be accom-
panied by Hubert Giesen.

Orlando Barera was born in Ferrara,
Italy, just 30 years ago. At an early
age he showed much musical ability,
and his rise was so prodigious that he
was graduated from the Conservatoire
of Bologna at the age of 15. He spent
the next few years in private study un-
der various tutors throughout Europe.
When, less than a decade ago, he went
on the concert stage, his first two re-
citals in Rome marked him as one of
the coming musical geniuses. Later,
his triumphs in concert made his con-
quest of Europe complete.

Although he played before the most
critical of audiences in Berlin, Vienna,
The Hague, and Paris, critics had only
praise for his artistry.

Late in 1936, he turned his attention
to the new world. Unknown when he
reached American shores, sktptical

Church Entertains Students

Students who are affiliated members
of the Presbyterian church in Mary-
ville will be the guests in the homes of
the regular members Sunday. Women
students of the College have permission
to be away until 6:00 that afternoon.
This social activity has been arranged
so that the students may become better
acquainted with the town members of
the church.

Two debates on the question of the
unicameral legislature were held in
the freshman debate classes this week
under the supervision of Verton M.
Queener, instructor in debate and pub-
lic speaking.

In the e period class which meets on
Monday, Robert Short and Conrad Os-
wald upheld the affirmative against
Marjorie Bennett and Carol Hatcher.
Otto Pflanze acted as critic judge for
this debate, and the decision was
awarded to the affirmative. In the d
period class meeting on Tuesday, David
Talmage and Paul Brown, represent-
ing the affirmative, won a decision over
Ivan Blake and Glenn Rogers of the
negative. Helen Maguire was critic
juage for this contest.

The question is stated in full: Re-
solved, that the several states should
adopt unicameral legislatures.

Several more inter-class debates are
scheduled for the next three weeks,
and the freshman tryouts will be held
immediately after final examinations.

JAPAN AND CHINA

We have read so much about China and wicked Japan
that our convictions are practically prejudices by now.
Occasionally we read something, however, that although
it doesn't seem to justify Japan's invasion, gives us a new
slant.

A nationwide poll of opinion as to whether the United
States shall act as "a policeman in the Orient" is being
initiated in the current issue of the Pamphleteer.

Warning America against "again becoming a volunteer
fireman for European interests"— as in the World War —
the pamphlet urges the citizens of this country to "examine
both sides of the situation instead of wildly approving
the one side and blindly condemning the other," in the
present juncture, and "above all, let us carefully consider
our own interests in the Orient and act accordingly."

"While American sympathy may well go out to the
Chinese people, it must be understood that the plight of
China is largely due to her irresponsible government,
run by war lords, and to the selfish interests of foreigners.
The Chinese cost of armaments consumes 90 percent of
the net revenues of "poor China" while in the meantime
European interests control her largest ports, her customs
receipts and most of her trade and banking.

"Before shedding crocodile tears with other foreign
nations which have themselves been the principal aggres-
sors against the independence of China, Americans are
urged to recall that we are largely responsible for the
modernization and progress of Japan, since the first
treaty negotiated by this country and Japan by Commo-
dore Perry in 1854 opened up her ports to foreign trade.

"Japan buys normally from America more than China
and all the Orient put together. She buys more in this
country than all of South America, almost as much as the
European continent. She pays cash for her purchases and
owes America no war debts.

"The developments of the wheat and lumber growing
states of the West, and the cotton-growing South, are
closely bound up with the developments and progress of
the entire Orient.

"Nothing could be more suitable to European colony -
owning nations than a rupture in the natural bond of in-
terest between the United States and Japan," according
to the Pamphleteer. "It would again make Europe supreme
and safe in the Orient at the expense of both America and
Japan. And it woud not be the solution of the pro-
blems of "poor China."

"China needs a helping hand, but for her own sake,
this must be the medicine of a firm and constructive hand."

MESSIAH APPRECIATION

The success of a production of any kind depends not
only upon the actual performers but upon numerous other
workers whose unobtrusive work is often unsung.

To avoid such seeming ingratitude in connection with
the annual "Messiah" production, we give praise to Miss
Gertrude Meislewitz, head of the home economics de-
partment for the beautiful chapel decoration which was
her creation.

Russell Hirch deserves thanks for the professional
job of announcing on the broadcast.

All agree that the blue and gray robes, lent by Mrs.
Katheryn McMurry, manager of the College Maid Shop,
did much to make the whole affair seemed well-turned
out.

Someone always has to do the drudgery, which this
time fell to Max Cornelius and his assistants, John Fisher,
Harold Austin, Bill McGill, Bill Garris, and Glenn Young.

Another thing appreciated is the effective ushering of
Harry Rice, who was assisted by George Felknor, Allan
Hinkleman, Alfred Davies, Bob Gillespie, Clyde Powell,
Bruce Walters, Walter West, Fred Rhody, John Ballinger,
Harold Copeland, John Lancaster, and Clement Hahn.

Fits and Fizzles

By FRED RHOD1J

The Official Life of a Japanese Secretary of State

"Morning, Miss Teehee Yoyo, this all the mail? Of
course you've already thrown the advertising circulars
and the protests from the foreign governments into the

man Byron White, the All- American halfback on

Phi Beta Kappa, was elected last week to a third top honor,
a Rhodes scholarship. Nearest approach to such all-round
superiority within our memory at Maryville have been
Louie Krainock, Archie Pieper, Jim Proffitt. Speaking of
Rhodes scholarships, there's an excellent article in the
front of the January Scribner's that will comfort those of
us who fail to qualify.

music . The number of people who expressed in-
terest in a weekly reminder of the best in radio music is
enheartening. Those who cannot understand or appreciate
fine music are just missing something; find out from Deem8
Taylor in his catchy little book "Of Men and Music." If
you missed Verdi's "II Trovatore" last Saturday sung by
the Metropolitan or Saint-Saens' "Danse Macabre" played
by both the NBC Symphony under Toscanini and the
Ford Symphony under Fritz Reiner last weekend, you are
just poorer than those who did hear them.

calendar The following program gives just an In-
dication of the excellent music that can be yours this
weekend for a twist of the dial. Hearing Fritz Reiner's
name Sunday evening, by the way, made us homesick
for the evenings we heard the Cincinnati Symphony from
our usher's seat on the steep balcony steps of Emery
Auditorium. Nor will we forget the name of Reiner's
assistant conductor of the Cincinnati orchestra, Vladimir
Bakaleinikoff. It's fun pronouncing.

books And while we're being culture-conscious
and particularly obnoxious to the illiterate we might do a
bit of thumbnail reviewing of the new books. By all means
read Lin Yutang's "The Importance of Living." Among
other wise sayings Dr. Lin states that "the aim of education
or culture is merely the development of good taste in
knowledge and good form in conduct. The cultured man
is ... . the one who likes and dislikes the right things."

If you like advenure and romance you'll find Stuart
Cloete's new novel of the great Boer trek in South Africa,
"The Turning Wheels" excellent reading. V. Sackville-
West's new "Pepita" we found tiresome, in spite of the
selection by the Books-of-the-Month club. Prospective
M.D. or not, you'll enjoy two recent books by eminent
doctors; Victor Heiser's world touring and curing in
"An American Doctor's Odyssey," and Robert T. Morris'
fearless, revealing "Fifty Year a Surgeon." There are so
many copies of Van Loon's "The Art" about that there's
not much excuse for not having at least dabbled in it.
A general concensus of all the "best books" lists of the
year would probably find Kenneth Roberts' excellent
"Northwest Passage" at the top of the fiction list and Van
Wyck Brooks' "The Flowering of New England" at the
top of the non-fiction works of the past year. The inde-
fatigable Major Rogers in the former volume is a charac-
ter you will never forget. And to read again of Thoreau,

Japanese Boycott

l

Crusading representatives from 150 colleges meeting
recenUjtat Vassar college had a jolly time pitching their
silk stockings into a bonfire, protesting against Japanese
agression. They proposed a boycott on Japanese goods,
especially on silk.

Now that the excitement has cooled and many of the
impetuous young women wish they had the silk stockings
they gave to the Cause, a few pertinent results of such a
proposed boycott may be given.

In the first place, R. R. Williams, vice president of the
Kresge chain stores, pointed out that "boycotts called sud-
denly against Japanese merchandise are actually boycotts
against American merchants and not against Japanese ex-
porters, who already have received their money."

Suggestions are made that women wear only lisle
stockings instead of stockings made of Japanese silk. The
American Federation of Hosiery Workers claims that be-
cause of the greater durability of lisle, three-fourths of
the hosiery workers in the U. S. would be thrown out of
work. \

The managing editor of the National Association of
Hosiery Manufacturers, Earl Constantine, considers the
boycott harmful: "The largest consumer of Japanese silk
in America is the hosiery industry. This silk is used al-
most entirely in ladies stockings. The average pair retails
today at 85 cents. Of the 85 cents, not more than ten cents
gets to Japan. The remaining 75 cents reflects American
ingenuity, capital, and, principally, labor. A boycott on
the silk stocking, therefore results in injury to 75 Ameri-
can cents in an effort to injure ten Japanese cents."

ECHOES OP THE PAST

WAR TIME PATRIOTISM— The Col-
lege is having difficulty in securing
coal. In order to avoid the possibility
of closing the school, it has been deci-
ded to shut off light and heat one hour
earlier in the evening and on weekends
to close all buildings except the dormi-
tories. This policy of saving fuel is not
only a necessity, but also good patrio-
tism.

EFFECTS— At a meeting of the
junior class last Friday it was definite-
ly decided not to put out an annual
this year. Of the twenty-nine men of
the class, twenty have been called into
service.

PEARSON'S VESPERS— Owing to

YE ED RIDES AGAIN

Alas, also alack back in the saddle again after

a sweet absence of lo ! these many weeks, we find the
ancient steed slightly the worse for a holiday collection of

dust and grime not to mention the stiffness customary

in one so old. Two broken ribs add little to the cheerless
condition of the gallant creature. Too, she always did shy
a little at the editorial touch

A wary old creature, though, the Remington, and
faithful one in her day- for a' that.

YOO HOO !

Before the festive mood leaves us, to be replaced
by the inevitable pre-publication blues, may we ask ...
did you have a good Christmas? No, we don't claim
any originality for the query, but it had to be done, you
know.

Happy New Year and all that, too.

Scots Speed Up
To Top Hiwassee
After "Y" Defeat

Tigers Fall, 48-28, Before

Improved Maryville

Offense

THE HIGHLAND ECHO JANUARY 15, 1938

'* WRASSLIN' PREVIEW

If you are an amateur wrasslin' fan, as most of
us are at Maryville, you will be interested in some of the
new regulations for 1938 which will be inaugurated in
the opening meet of the new year this evening in Alumni
Memorial gymnasium.

When the Scots face the YMCA matmen of Coach
Bob Maher at 8 o'clock these are some of the new de-
partures to be observed by both combatants and
spectators :

Instead of working for the old regulation ten
minutes, plus six minutes in case of overtime matches, the
new rules provide that the wrestlers scrap it out from an
upright position for three minutes, this to be followed by
two periods of three minutes each, the men alternating in
taking the bottom position. This means a nine minute
match- in three equal divisions, in contrast to the ten min-
ute affair with the 2-4-4 division of 1937. In case the
referee is unable to reach a decision at the end of nine
minutes, there shall be, after a one minute rest, two extra
periods of two minutes each.

The other change is just as radical and even
more significant Whereas the winner of a no-fall match
was formerly decided by time advantage, the whole thing
is now left to the discretion of the referee, which may or
may not complicate matters, He is authorized by the 1938
rules to decide the winner on the basis of agressiveness
and offensive ability, disregarding all time advantage,
and placing great stress on near-falls.

These new regulations should go a long way to
eliminate the stallling and lackadaisical scraps that have
threatened to drive the customers away from college
grappling programs for the last two or three years. In the
hands of a good official the meets this year will be a big
f improvement over those of the past. The single danger,
' of course, lies in the possibility of "home town" decisions.
The next move, probably, will be to standardize all officia-
ting something that has been sadly needed for a long
time, and a task that will be plenty tough to accomplish.

Showing a vastly improved offensive
and defensive team, the Maryville
quintet swamped the Tigers of Hi-
wasse College Thursday evening, 48-28.
Howard Magill was high scorer for
Maryville, sinking four field goals and
two free throws for a total of 10 points.
Weldon Baird and Dale Russelll each
tallied nine points for second scoring
honors. For Hiwassee, Monger was the
high scorer, amassing a total of 10
points.

Dale Russell, Maryville freshman,
started the scoring early in the game
when he sank two rapid field goals.
Morrell, Tiger forward, then sank a
field goal for Hiwassee. After the first
quarter Maryville took the lead and
was never threatened.

The Maryville Scotties showed the
fans a surprisingly good offense after
their poor showing two nights before
against the Knoxville "Y" team. The
scoring among the players was well
divided, showing a balanced quintet
that might cause the other teams of
the Smoky Mountain Conference a few
worries. This was the first showing of
the Highlanders against a college team.
This, however, was not a conference
game. The Scots play their first con-
ference game Jan. 18, against King
College. Tonight the Scots journey to
Athens, Tenn., to play Wesleyan.

Lead In Downfall Of

Freshmen, Sophs

The intramural basketball season
officially opened last Wednesday night,
when the senior quintet defeated the
sophomore five in the Alumni gym by
a score of 25 to 15.

Senior ballmen showed a decisive
margin over the sophomores in passing
and floor work, as well as in goal
shooting.

Win Ross led the floor play of the
senior quint. Roy Talmage played an
excellent game and was high score
man; with five field goals and one
free throw to his credit, for a total of
11 points. Parker also was a main-
stay for the seniors, turning in 8 points
and quite a bit of good defensive work.

The sophomores were led by Rae
Borne* who sunk most of the points
for the underclassmen.

Teams were:
Seniors: Parker and Talmage, forwards;
Skull and Bruce, centers; Swear in gen,
Lancaster, Ross and Brown, guards.
Sophomores:

Rae and Stevenson, forwards; Hum-
phries, center; Augustein, Davis, Borne,
Amis and Ethredge, guards.

Maryville college's swimming team
made its debut for the 1938 season yes-
terday evening in the University o?
Tennessee swimming pool in Knox-
ville, but the University team sent the
Scotty tankmen back to Maryville with
a lopsided defeat of 54 to 21.

Maryville toook only two first places
in the meet. Burt Chandler placed first
in the fancy diving contest, and Pual
Akana came in first in the 200 yard
breast stroke. Chandler's win in the
diving event was rather an upset as he
was placed at a decided disadvantage,
having to dive on a foreign board.
Akana's win was not so much an up-
set, but Carmichel of U-T kept the
Maryville man pushing all the way.

Four points were made by the Mary-
ville team in two other events. Hild-
itch took second in the fifty-yard dash,
and Findley placed third in the same
event. Humphries placed second in the
440 yard free style and Akana came in
for the third place.

The Scotties took only three other
places in the meet, all of them being
thirds. Wicklund placed third in the
220 yard free style and in the 100 yard
free style. Akana came in third in the
440 yard event.

Tennessee overpowered the Mary-
ville team in all but two of the events.
Besides taking first place in five of the
individual races, the Tennessee team
took first place in both of the relays.

Akana was high point man for the
Maryville team with six points for a
first and a third. Both of these events
were run in succession; so Akana had
to swim 590 yards for the two places.
Before the last event was over he was
beginning to get rather weary, but
still he came in a length before the
number two man of U-T.

Times were slow in all the events,
and Maryville swimmers promise to
give the U-T men a real run for their
money in the return met.

Low Ebb In 48-36 Loss

Sophomores Take Game
In Women's Point System

On Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 the
basketball tournament of the women's
noint system was begun with a game
between the freshmen and sophomores.
The sophomores won, 37-17.

Thursday afternoon the freshmen
beat the junior-seniors 29-21 in a hotly
contested game.

The final game between the junior-
seniors and sophomores will be Tues-
day evening as a preliminary game be-
fore the main one.

Last Tuesday night, the Knoxville
YMCA, former victims of the Mary-
ville Scotties, turned the tide on the
fighting Highlanders, and defeated the
Scots 48-36. Moore of the YMCA was
high scorer for the evening, finding
the hoop for 21 points. Howard (Flash)
Magill, Maryville's fighting forward,
scored 17 points for second honors in
scoring.

The game, marked by erratic passing
and shooting, was, however, interesting*
The Knoxville men were out for re-
venge after the 42-34 whipping Mary-
ville handed them before the holidays.
H. Magill started off the fireworks
early in the game when he hit the
hoop for two rapid field goals. Knox-
ville retaliated with a basket by Mc-
Culloch, after that it was a rather free
scoring game with Knoxville leading
at half time. At one time in the third
quarter the YMCA led by over twenty
points. The Scotties, led chiefly by
Magill, managed to lower this lead to
twelve points, but couldn't overcome
the fighting visitors.

Moore, of Knoxville, was the out-
standing offensive man on the floor;
however, Magill was both a power on
defense and offense. Not only could he
hit the bottom of the hoop with uner-
ring accuracy, but he was continually
breaking up the passes of the visitors.

The Maryville B team was defeated
by Friendsville high school 26-18, com-
pleting double whipping for the Scot-
ties last Tuesday night.

Another year as defenders of top
grapplin' honors begins tonight for the
Scots when the Knoxville YMCA mat-
men come here for the 1938 inaugural.
Coach Bob Thrower's champs will
depend on experienced man-power in
five of the eight matches, with green
performers slated to open in the 118,
126, and 135 pound positions.

The heavier fighters are fairly well
set for the season, but tryouts held this
far have left the lightweight situation
still in a muddle. It may be Asttes,
Prevetta, and Everett in that order,
who open the show tonight; on the
other hand it may be Evual, Astles, and
Everett. A lot depends on whether
the last two named make the required
weights. Both have been too heavy,
for the 118 and 135 classes respectively.
The 145 pound will see the return of
Edgar "One Round" Meares, who ex-
hibited a superior brand of wrasslin'
two years ago as part of the Scots'
brother act, when Rom followed Ed-
gar on the mat program.

Captain Jim Renfro has the 155 divi-
sion well in hand, after transferring
his sports activity from the gridiron
to the rubber-covered mat. His clash
with Y are Don Householder should
prove to be the feature attraction to-
night. That is, if Householder appears
in that weight, as he is scheduled to
do.

If the fans are still in doubt by the
time the 165 pound fray comes up,
they can rest easy for nine minutes or
less, with Guy Propst as ace in the
hole for the Scotties.

Too, the 175 division is well fortified,
with Obie Jenkin, junior grunter, back
in action. He did a good job last year in
both the 175 and unlimited classes, and
is counted on for a good share of points
during 1938.

The heavyweight situation rests in
the hands of big Fred Tulloch, who
showed promise of a great future last
year as a freshman. He lost two,
matches to more experienced men,
but pitched two or three falls into the
Highlander tally sheet for himself.
•The heavyweight mixup will be
awaited with anticipation by those who,
saw the Tulloch man in action last
year.

The program tonight starts at eight.

Lxchango Notes

by Curtmarie Brown

AT RANDOM

The band of the Emporia, Kansas
State #Teachers college has a new
accordion section. This seems to be the
latest wrinkle in band equipment.

Two students at Emory university in
Atlanta have started an insurance
agency through which a student may
insure himself against flunking or in-
sure making a grade of "B." The pre-
miums are based on the applicant's
average his previous grade in the
course, and the number of flunks and
"A's" usually given by the teacher.
Courses are insured up to $100 and for
any grade down to "F." The names of
the applicants are carefully guarded
so that teachers may not discover what
students are insuring themselves.

MUSEUM

(Continued from page one)
The boys don't have a great variety
of specimens, it seems, but what they
do have are good. A U-T geologist
called a mangacite crystal in the col-
lection one of the best he had ever seen.
The most valuable pieces are a num-
ber of semi-precious stones. There is
also a sample of hexagon which is
said to be found only in South Dakota
and Egypt.

What gripes the boys most is to have
some one send in a collection of stones
labeled "rock from the Rio Grande,"
"pebble from the banks of the Jordon,"
etc. They're not interested in senti-
ment, they say. They're interested in
geology.

ITALIAN VIOLINIST

(Continued from page one)
Americans responded slowly to advance
notice of ticket sales for his Town Hall
concert. But his performance there so
thrilled his hearers that the music
critic of the New York American stat-
ed the next day that young Barera
was "a violinist with the soul of a poet
and the fire of a virtuoso" and con-
cluded his criticism "His audience,
small in size, rose to him with excited
enthusiasm. Seats should be at a pre-
mium when he plays again."

The young violinist continued his
tour of the east, during which time he
played on the Library of Congress
Series, in Washington. So outstand-
ing was his performance there that
Washington newspapers called his de-
but the "musical event of the season."
By this time, demand was so great for
a return engagement in New York's
Town Hall that Barera was called back
to give a second performance in the
hall during the same season, a feat
seldom achieved even by the most
established of artists. And the New
York Times, through its music columns
next day, highly praised the young
artist and predicted a bright future.

In America now for his second con-
secutive tour, Barera comes to Mary-
ville with a well earned reputation. It
is interesting to note that he is the
first violinist to appear at Maryville
since the concert of Albert Spaulding,
three years ago.

The complete program includes Beet-
beginning at 8:15. Tickets will be on
phonic Espangnole," an aria by Piz-
zetti, a tango by Castelnuovo-Tedesco-
Heifetz, "Tarantella" by Pilati and
"J'Palpiti" by Paganini.

The ticket door will open at 7:15
Friday evening, with the entrance
doors opening at 7:30, and the concert
beginning at 8:15. Tickets wil lbe on
sale Wednesday morning after chapel
and again at the door Friday evening.
Those who have had tickets held for
them are requested to call for them on
Wednesday morning to avoid a rush
at the dooor Friday evening.

UN1VERSITY ECHO

The paper of the University of
Chattanooga has begun a series of
articles in which students may dis-
cuss various campus subjects pro and
con. The first article was a discussion
of campus politics.

LENOIR— RHYNEAN

The students of Lenoir-Rhyne are
publishing a handbook containing their
student government constitution. This
handbook will be distribued among the
students so that the student body in
general will have some contact with
articles on the history and significance
ment. The handbook will also contain
the workings of their college govern-
of student government.

THE GAMECOCK

The University of South Carolina has
adopted an open subsidization plan
with regard to athletics. Athletes will
no longer have to report whether or
not they are winning financial aid
from other than the regularly accepted
sources. This means that the University
will make no secret about paying their
football men or other athletes.

STEVENSONS LEAVE

In Palestine Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson
plan to make another side trip. They
will go from Nazareth south through
Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and on to Cairo
From Cairo they will go south along
the Nile on still another side trip which
will take them to Thebes and the
temple of Luxor.

Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson plan to make
still another inland journey in India.
They will land at Bombay and go in-
land for a boat trip on the Ganges and
a visit to the Taj Mahal. They will
travel far north to get a glimpse of Mt.
Everest.

The Stevensons have planned this
journey for some time. A few years ago
they were ready to go when the
Abyssinian war broke out, and they
were forced to give up the trip.

NOTICE

Second semester registration
will be held in Thaw hall on the
afternoons of January 24 and 25
for the four classes with the pay-
ment of bills at the treasurer's
office directly after the student
has registered. The late regi-
stration fine of $5 will go into
effect on February 3, the day
after the new semester opens.

Chilhowean Prepares

To Collect Payments

A recent notice has been released
that the second payments for the Chil-
howean will be payable next week. Re-
presentatives will be stationed in An-
derson hall near the Treasurer's office
during the same hours that board is
being paid.

Several pictures have been made
recently, including those of the Student
Council, the Highland Echo staff, the
four Literary societies, and many club
groups. All the junior and senior pic-
tures are in; the sophomore and fresh-
man ' sections are open now, to be
closed February 2.

STUDENT ASSEMBLY

(Continued From Page One)
programs designed to demonstrate new
techniques in local programs. These
included visual education, program
laboratories, drama, music, creative
handiwork, art, group games, and folk
dancing. Miss Bewley and Minear at-
tended rehearsels of the assembly
choir during the afternoon.

The evening meetings were devoted
to a consideration of the structure and
content of the Christian faith, under
the leadership of a large group of
speakers. Among the outstanding
speakers were Bishop William Scarlett
of the Diocese of Missouri of the Epis-
copal chuurch; Howard Thurman, prof-
essor of theology at Howard university;
Dr. T. Z. Koo; secretary, the World's
Student Christian Federation; and Dr.
Henry V. Van Dusen, professor of
theology and dean of students at Union
theological seminary in New York City.

The feeling of the delegates about
the assembly can be expressed by the
statement of one of the Maryville re-
presentatives, that "definite contribu-
tions will be made to the programs of
the associations from the study and
conclusion of the National Assembly.
Of course there was disagreement on
many of the proposed plans of action,
but no one could fail to gain some new
plans, and to absorb the spirit of
philosophic search into campus pro-
blems, Christian association policies,
and individual doubts."

Italian Violinist
Presents Concert
I On Friday Evening

Orlando Barera Gives Well

Balanced Program In

Voorhees

Orlando Barera, Italian violinist,
made his initial appearance in Voor-
hees chapel Friday evening before an
audience of approximately 900. Mr.
Barera opened a well balanced pro-
gram with the famous Sonta 6 by Beet-
hoven and held the interest of the
audience throughout. Especially well
rendered was Tango by Castelnuovo-
Tedesco-Heifetz, a contempory Spanish
composer. The concert closed with a
number by Paganini. The violinist was
accompanied by Hubert Giesen who
is himself a composer and has played
with Fritz Chrysler. Mr. Barera gave
several hundred autographs and made
many friends among the students by
his congeniality. From Maryville he
will go to Boston where he will appear
in a concert.

The program was well managed and
stage decorations were done by the
usual crew. Ushers included Bob Cus-
worth, Ann Abel, Connie Oswald, Lil-
lian Borgquist, Bob Lamont, Lois
Barnwell, Reece Scull, Connie Johnson,
Win Ross, Helen Miller, Max Corne-
lius, Ruth Anderson, Wilbur Parvin,
and Pat Kennedy.

The final recital in this series of con-
certs will be presented by John Charles
Thomas, American baritone, on Feb-
ruary 21.

lius, Mary Elizabeth Haines, J. T. Hunt,
Clifford Proctor and Harry Rice.
Arthur Byrne was elected to the gov-
erning board of the workshop.

At the same meeting, original manu-

faculty concerning it.

club last Tuesday evening. Other
officers elected are vice president,
George Felknor; secretary, John Fish-
er; treasurer, Kathleen Cissna; and
program secretary, David Talmage and
Miss Dorothy Hunter.

The program consisted of a short

vealed, were voted into the club.

Donald Rugh was elected president
of the Ministerial association Monday
evening. Other officers elected were
Ernest Enslin, vice president; Edward
Thomas, secretary-treasurer; and Phil
Evaul, editor. The newly elected
officers will be installed at the regular
meeting on Monday night.

Special speaker for the meeting on
Monday evening will be Dr. M.

will be "The Various Versions of the
Bible, and Their Significance."

The Gospel Team of the association
composed of Donald Rugh, George
Hunt, Wilbur Parvin, and Roland An-
derson will go to Knoxville on Satur-
day evening where they will appear
on a program at the Young People's
Quarterly meeting at the Friends
church.

The new officers are planning a new
practical program for the ensuing year
th*t will prove helpful to the mem-
bers.

Registration for the second semester
will take place on the afternoons of
January 24 and 25, on second floor of
Thaw hall, from 1:15 to 5:00 o'clock.
During the past week tentative
schedules have been approved for all
seniors, and tentative schedules have
been made out for all freshmen at
the personnel office. Juniors and soph-
omores will be expected to make out
their own tentative schedules before
registration. All seniors, all juniors,
and sophomores whose last names be-
gin with letters A to L, inclusive, will
register on Monday afternoon; sopho-
mores whose last names begin with the
letters M to Z, inclusive, and all
freshmen, will register on Tuesday
afternoon.

In general, the procedure will be
the same as for the September regi-
stration and will be carried out as fol-
lows:

Juniors, sophomores and freshmen
will report to Room 42 (Dr. Briggs'
classroom) presenting their tentative
schedules for approval and enrollment.
They will then proceed to room 51, 52,
or 53, where they will make out the
complete registration card, copying
the approved schedule from the ten-
tative schedule card. Care should be

taken that the schedule is copied ex-
actly on each card, and that all de-
sired information is given.

Seniors will receive the tentative
schedule card at a desk in the hall,
then proceed to the making out of the
complete registration card in room 51,
52, or 53.

After the registration card has been
completed students will wait in room
55 (Philosophy class room) until they
can be admitted to room 54 for final
checking of registration card and as-
sessment of fees. Here the registration
card will be held and each student
will receive a slip showing his total
expenses. Students may go to the
treasurer's office immediately, for the
payment of fees, or at scheduled hours
up to and including February 2, after
which the late registration fee will be
added.

All students will be urged to exercise
especial care in the making out of
registration cards, writing legibly, and
checking carefully to see that all in-
formation called for is given and all
errors eliminated. Failure to do so
will result in delay and may necessitate
return to the registration room for
.completion or correction.

Women Given Chance To See How

Other Half Would Like To Live

The fund to be used for installing an
electric organ in Voorhees chapel is
growing rapidly after a several month's
drive. Mrs. John Walker, a close
friend of the college began the
movement by contributing $250 and
since that time voluntary contributions
have substantially added to this
amount.

At the morning chapel services Tues-
day and Wednesday, a Hammond
electric organ which sells for $1500 was
demonstrated, but Miss Katherine
Davies, professor of music, and a mem-
ber of the committee in charge of
the fund, said that a later model Ham-
mond equipped with a better sound-
ing board, was also being considered.

Mrs. Ralph W. Lloyd, chairman of

Princeton Chapel Dean
Makes Chapel Address
On Wednesday Morning

By Arlene Phelps

Carnegie held its annual house-
cleaning Wednesday afternoon in pre-
paration for the open house that even-
ing, and from the outside appearance
in the afternoon it looked as though
a dust storm had taken Carnegie. We
think that you fellows swept the floors
because they didn't look dirty; but oh!
how did you ever overlook the drape-
ries in the lobby?

Chess seemed to be the favorite game
for the thoughful Carnegians, but as
yet we could not find any visitor who
saw a single move. Do you fellows
really play chess or was it for the im-
pression?

We saw Warren Hilditch's display of
his conquests, but wonder whether
they really stick as the flies did to
the flypaper which was beside the
handkerchiefs. West and Young had
some built in effect in their room top-
ped with the West posters.

Somehow we could always tell when
we entered a ministerial student's

room— no pictures of beautiful girls,

heathen lands.

We do not especially favor the selec-
tion of gay nineties curtains, starched
and lacy, that Stan Phillips selected to
borrow and still wonder why Alston
permits them to remain.

But the gold fish! Humane society
enter! Do you know that there should
be one gallon of water for every gold
fish in a tank or bowl, but that you
frequently had three fish in a two
quart bowl, and besides, three is a
crowd.

The fourth floor rooms were in our
opinion the better shaped ones, but
those cigarrette advertisements! Boys!
At Maryville!

Down in the basement we liked best
Frank Brink's charcoal portrait of
his girl. Best charcoal we've seen in
a long time, and the girl; is she real?

Nancy Quinn and Richard Woodring,

Subjects For Bates
Oratorical Contests
For Women Released

Subjects for the Bates oratorical
contest which is open this year to
women in the junior and senior class-
es, have been chosen by the executive
council of the faculty and are as
follows: Undeclared War, Whither
America?, Poise Amid Chaos, The
Menace of Nationalism, The Challenge
of Failure, Integrating America.

The orations are to be original com-
positions. Contestants are to have no
help in composition except suggestions
as to bibliography. The Oration manu-
scripts are to be submitted on the first
Tuesday in April. The final contest is
to be held between May 1 and 15.

Those interested in entering the con-
test should see Miss Jessie K. Johnson
or Dr. Edwin R. Hunter.

The chapel address Wednesday
morning, January 19, was given by Dr.
Robert Russell Wicks, dean of Prinse-
ton Chapel, Prinseton, New Jersey.
Dr. Wicks is a personal friend of Dr.
Clifford E. Barbour, who is to lead our
February Meetings. Dr. Wicks was in
Knoxville for the purpose of leading
the Convocation Program which was
held at the University of Tennessee
from January 19 to 20.

Dr. Wicks was chaplain at Mt. Holy-
oke College before he became dean of
Prinseton Chapel. He is the author of
"Reasons for Livnig," which was print-
ed in 1934.

Dr. Oliver R. Tarwater who was
scheduled to speak at the Wednesday
service, will speak at a later date.

Dr. Howard Moody Morgan, pastor
of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church
in Philadelphia, Pa., and last year's
February meeting leader, will speak to
the men of the college tomorrow after-
noon at 1 o'clock in Bartlett hall audi-
torium. He has been obtained by the
Y.M.C.A. for his first visit to Mary-
ville since last February.

Dr. Morgan left a lasting impression
on Maryville students when he spoke,
for a week at the annual meetings.
He has had active contacts with col-
lege groups, having been pastor in
Lexington, Kentucky, where are lo-
cated the University of Kentucky and
Transylvania college. His present
pastorate is near the University of
Pennsylvania campus, and a feature of
his Sunday program is the college
men's get-togethers.

Howard Moody Morgan was born in
London, England, and is the son of Dr.
G. Campbell Morgan, one of the great-
est living Bible expositors of our day.
lis succeeded his father to the Phila-
delphia pastorate when the elder Dr.
Morgan returned to London to bo pas-
tor of a large church there.

Tryouts for "First Lady", the play to
be presented by Alpha Sigma and
Theta Epsilon societies were conducted
this week by Mrs. Nita Eckles West,
the director.

The following cast was announced;
Charles, undecided; Emmy Paige,
either Mary Louise Morgan or Kath-
erine Warren; Sophy Prescott, Jane
Irwin; Lucy Chase Wayne, Gloria Mil-
ler; Stephen Wayne, William Swearin-
gen; Belle Hardwick, either Mary

Mason, James Whitt; Ellsworth Gan-
ning, Robert Gillespie; Jason Fleming,
William Felknor; two women, Margaret
Peters and Virginia Kemmer.

Several minor parts have not yet
been decided, and tryouts will be held
next week.

"First Lady" by Katherin Dayton
and George S. Kaufman, is a delight-
ful satire on governmental Washing-
ton. The play centers around a feud
between Irene Hibbard, wife of a
Supreme Court Justice, and Lucy
Chase Wayne, wife of the Secretary
of State, caused by Mrs. Hibbard's
theft of Lucy Chase Wayne's cook
several years before the play opens.
The fun begins when the episode leads
to complications in the nation's politics.
The play was produced by Sam H.
Harris in New York in 1935 and had
a successful tour of the country the
following season. It is now being played
on the screen with Kay FiancL. as
Lucy Chase Wayne and Preston Foster
as Stephen Wayne.

Of the 32 college newspapers in the
state, approximately 20 are members

problems in journalism.

Dr. John E. Drewry, director of the
School of Journalism in the University
of Georgia, delivered an address at
the annual association banquet Fri-
day evening.

During the Christmas holidays the
personnel office was redecorated. The
walls were painted cream colored, and
the floor was shellacked. The furniture
was painted, and the tops of the count-
er and desks were covered with green,

Barera's Sense Of Humor Seemingly
Unaffected By Trip From New York

By Robert K. Brandriff

Slim, youthful Orlando Barera,
standing in the lobby of the Andrew
Johnson yesterday afternoon, in a dark
grey business suit, black hat pulled
low on his forehead, gave little promise
of the wizard who that same evening
would be playing the heartbreakingly
difficult double-stopped harmonies of
Paganini's "I Palpiti." Looking even
younger than his 31 years, his almost
elaborate politeness and boyish smile
were immediately disarming.

Barera came here direct from New
York where he is making his second
appearance in two years. One of his
first remarks was how much he en-
joyed travelling in America. After the
continental "wagon lits" a Pullman ap-
parently quite a treat. He speaks Eng-
lish fluently and correctly, but his
vowell sounds and misplaced accents
give his speech a distinctly foreign
flavor.

Before leaving the hotel, he made
arrangements to have his room

changed, the present one being too
hot. "I may come from Italy, but I still
like cold weather," he said. Driving
to Maryville, he relaxed in the back
seat of Professor Howell's car and
talked unreservedly of himself and his
art, and ansewered the mos irrelevant
questions very graciously.

His accompanist, Hubert Giesen,
seemed most interested in the geo-
graphical aspect of the tour, and while
Barera grew enthusiastic about the
sun's setting in a bank of rain clouds
over a landscape that he said reminded
him so much of France, Giesen wanted
to know how far it was to Florida and
whether we were south or west of New
York. But he was pleasant company,
even if his stories did all turn upon
his various concert appearances: at
the Everglade Club in Palm Beach, and
the time it got so cold in Toronto he
had to dip his hands in hot water be-
tween numbers.

Barera talked familarly of music and

Some Political
Observations

The refusal of the House of Representatives to per-
mit the Ludlow war referendum resolution to be debated
on the floor thus rejected the proposel. The impractical,
cumbersome plan of procedure would, as one senator
said, be like taking a referendum before calling out the
fire department to put out a fire.

A proposed bill which happily is meeting able fili-
bustering is the anti-lynching bill, a bill accused by some
as nothing more than a device for gaining Negro votes.
Although the number of lynchings has decreased notably
from year to year, our northern senators seem determined
to protect the Negro from the unmerciful south.

Today war fires are burning both in Europe and
Asia.' Even as in 1914, America is being sucked into the
maelstrom of international complications. In spite of the
lessons of the past, and of a universal desire for neutrality
in foreign conflicts, America is again being pushed into
her role of volunteer fireman for European interests, but
this time in the Orient.

We are told that we should get excited about the
huge stake we're supposed to have in the Far East. The
total United States investments in the entire Far East is
but five per cent of the total U. S. foreign investment, or
less by more than a billion and quarter dollars of the
amount we will have spent for liquor in the U. S. during
1937.

One single British investor has a stake in the Far

-East almost as large as all the U.S. investments in China

and Japan combined. No wonder some would like the U.S.

citizens to go out and make the far East safe for European

concessionaires.

Fits and Fizzles

Dq FRED RHODVJ

Here he is folks, Professor Whizz! With an eye to
the wall clock and an ear to the lunch whistle, the Pro-
fessor is about to take the pulse of the average, common
Maryville college student. All right, Professor!

- M. C. —

PROFESSOR: Hello friends! We'll first take the pulse
of Mr. Glop Glop. A very devoted and loyal student, Mr.
Glop Glop is in his sixth year at Maryville, and is looking
I forward to many more happy years here. Mr. Glop Glop,
may I take your pulse! Oh, you're left-pulsed? You have
a very fine left pulse, Mr. Glop Glop. Now, in a few well-
chosen words, what is your opinion of the Sino-Japanese
crisis?

- M. C. —

Mr. Glop Glop: Well— er-uh— I sort of guess— uh

Prof: Mr. Glop Glop has been telling us, friends, that
although Japan is faced with the terrific problem of in-
sufficient resources for her overflowing population, she is
entirely unjustified and unnecessarily brutal in her wan-
ton attack on defenseless China's helpless citizens. Thank
you for your valuable comments, Mr. Glop Glop. Would
that our Houses of Congress could boast of such wide-
awake, keen observers as you! And next, I shall take the
pulse of Miss Vera Peachy, attractive Maryville co-ed.
Mmmm! Taking her pulse should require quite some
time, I hope. Miss Peachy, to obtain more-uh-satisfactory
results I think I should take both your pulses. Remember,
'tis for humanity! Now, Miss Peachy, what do you think
of the Ludlow War referendum proposal?

- M. C. —

Miss Peachy: Huh? You mean— uh— huh?

Prof: Then it is your firm conviction, Miss Peachy, that
since it is the common people who do the fighting and
dying, they should be the ones to declare war? Yet, on
the other hand, you are not unaware that a deliberative
assembly like our Congress is better informed and better
qualified to decide a question involving war? Thank you,
M__ Peachy. Your statements and my personal observa-
tions reveal you as a remarkably clear-headed young
woman, with most interesting pulses. And here is Mr.
Lester Whoople. stepping to the microphone. Mr. Whoople,
will you please remove your celluloid cuffs so I can take
your pulse for this poll of college students' opinions on
current happenings? Now, Mr. Whoople, tell us about
your ideas on capitalism »nd communism.

' Signs of trie Times

Bu OTTO PFLANZE

It was about ten years ago that we first began to wake
up and face the facts about the World War. Disillusioned
we turned our backs on Europe and swore we wouldn't
play that way anymore. We would stay neutral, we said.
When anybody started pushing anybody else in the face,
we'd take our marbles and go home.

We said that with a look of firm conviction on our
faces. And the funny part about it is that most of us
thought we'd do it too. But when Italy and Japan start-
ed fighting defensive wars in Ethiopia and China we
learned a few things. The most important thing we learned
was that we aren't willing to pick up and go home when
the thing gets started.

Of course, Ethiopia didn't disturb us much. We didn't
have anything much over there to worry about. At least
not until some U. S. oil company decided it would be
nice if we got interested to the tune of several million
dollars. But we couldn't quite stomach that; so we let
opportunity slip through our fingers.

But then China— yes, that's a horse of a different
color. We had always looked upon China as a market for
our own economic imperialism. We had helped put down
insurrections when the Chinese people got the mistaken
idea they neaded a little independence. We had helped
put restrictions on China's right to defend her seacoasts.
And true enough we hadn't been a bit interested when
our ham-strung Eastern neighbor wanted to put her
financial house in order. At least not if it entailed raising
the import duties on American goods.

But all of a sudden Japan decided that Russia, England,
France, and the United States weren't running things
right in Kai Shek's republic and started to run it her
own way. Then we did sit up and take notice.

Of course we hadn't been a bit alarmed when we
helped set China's important duties several years ago.
We didn't think, or maybe we didn't care a plugged nickel
about whether those heathen Chinese would mind a
little thing like that. But a couple of weeks ago when
Japan decided she'd do a little import duty fixing herself,
did we howl!

No sir, we won't move an inch, we're saying now. We'll
keep our gunboats on the Yangtze just as long as the
Standard Oil tankers want to stay there. And thus our
firm resolve went to the seven winds the minute it ran
afoul of profits, trade, and investment.

The net result is this. When the next World War gets
under way America will be no more willing to relinquish
foreign trade and investments than she was when she
entered the last one. In the event of war, strict isolationism
and uncompromising neutrality are absolutely impossible
for the United States with her billions invested in foreign
countries.

His parishioners regret it; Tennesseans have cause
to regret it; his widow will regret it. I refer to Dean Noe's
"spiritual sustenance" fast. Noe, an Episcopalian rector in
Memphis, is seeking to condition his body to the point
where he can live without food or water, on mental sup-
port alone.

The parishioners of Dean Noe stated early in the
week "that the entire proceeding is a regretable incident.'"
They are, I imagine, rather aghast at all the publicity.
One of them ruined a hum-dinger of a news story the
other day when he dispelled the rumor that others in
the church intend to follow Noe's example.

As for Tennesseans, they regret that adverse publicity
is making the state known as "that place where all the
child marriages and religious fanatics are." It was only
a year or so ago that an epidemic of "rattlesnake"
preachers made the front pages. They let themselves be
bitten by rattle snakes and then declared themselves
miraculously unaffected by the poison. Some said the
fangs had been taken out of the rattlesnakes, but I wouldn't
know about that. I don't mean to intimate that Dean Noe
isn't sincere, for he undoubtly is.

Mrs. Noe isn't a widow yet, but she soon will be if
the rector persists in his effort "to stretch out his life span
indefinitely." His attempt is comparable to the Scotch-
man who tried to make his car run on air. The gentleman
repeatedly let his gas supply get low so that the machine
would become accustomed to running on next to nothing.
Needless to say, it just can't be done.

Orlando Barera

(Continued from page one)
musicians in New York — Barbirolli,
conductor of the Philharmonic, his fel-
low countrymen Martini and Massini
of the Metropolitan, and a young duo-
piano team discovered in London by
Josef Hbfmann appearing in their first
season. He paid high tribute to the
artistry of Moriz Rosenthal, still a
grand figure in the world of music at
seventy-five. He was greatly amused,
however, to learn that Rosenthal had
played so long a piece as Listz's "Se-
cond Hungarian Rhapsody" for an en-
core. "If he did that, maybe I'd better
do the Bach "Chaconne" for them to-
night," grinning at the thought of that
long and highly technical masterpiece
as an encore.

He grew quite excited in telling us
about his studies, especially when he
discovered that we did not know of
his having studied under Georges En-
esco in Paris. "Ah, he is the greatest
teacher in the world,"- he said, with a
quick Latin gesture characteristic of
him. "He was the teacher of Yehudi
Menuhin, and a great composer, too.

Maryville was the first college at
which he had ever played, and he
seemed to be enjoying the prospect,
even going so far as to comment on the
rather dubious "English" architecture
of Baldwin hall as he arrived. Still
good-humored after three-quarters of
an hour of questioning, his parting re-
mark, after noticing how warm it had
become since the rain, was that "he
guessed he'd have to change his pro-
grammed Sixth Beethoven Sonata to
the Fifth— the 'Springtime' one."

Following the concert, Barera, still
suave and pleasant after satisfying sev-
eral hundred autograph seekers, re-
the afternoon and added the last
membered by reportorial difficulties of
humorous touch by inscribing on my
program "avec sympathie, Orlando
Barera" and in the corner, "Ferdinando
Galliano 1750," the name of his rare
and beautiful violin. Simple and un-
affected, Barera is as charming a per-
sonality as he is a distinguished artist.

trunk-sized room; muscle building ap-
paratus that was displayed for our
benefit; the room in which everything
was tied down with rope; the ice cream

ness of Mr. Morgan to give out extra
tickets.

Now that it is all over, let me say
that we girls like open houses, especial-

pionship. The seniors completely out-
played the juniors, the score being
15-1 at the half. Don Parker was high

of 13 points. R. Talmage came next with
a total of 11 points. Colombo hit the

RASSLIN' REUNION

Tonight a once-flaming rivalry is being renewed at
Boone, North Carolina-, lair of the Appalachian Mount-
aineer.

It all takes place when Coach Bob Thrower sends
his grapplin' Scots on the mat against the charges of
Coach Farmer Watkins.

It will mark the first time since the two teams
broke relations in 1936 that a Maryville outfit has wrest-
led in the Old North State. Two defeats by the Mountain-
eers marred the slate of the Tennessee champs that year.
The first one came here, to the tune of 18-6. The carnage
was even worse when the Highlanders went to Boone.
This time it was 22 1-2 to 1 1-2, Appalachian.

Thus the Scotties are going to work tonight in an
effort to remove this unpleasant taste from the mouth of
the Highlander.

Their chances are not the best in the world, but
there is a chance just the same.

A win at Boone would go a long way toward wiping
out the bitter memory of last Saturday's unpleasantness
with Knoxville Y's upsetters.

LET'S GO

Speaking of dope buckets, as we weren't, we re-
commend attendance at the interclass hardwood festivi-
ties tonight for a sight of upsets and the unexpected.

FROSH 33— SOPHS 28

In a surprising upset Thursday night,
the freshmen basketeers turned back
the highly touted sophomores 33-28.
The freshmen played consistently
good ball, getting the lead early in
the game and holding throughout the
remainder of the fray. The sophomores
threatened in the last quarter, but a
basket by Jim Miller, freshman cap-
tain, kept the sophs from closing the
gap. Miller hitting the basket frequent-
ly from all angles, scored 16 points to
lead in the night's scoring.

Lineups: Sophs: Rae 8, Born, Amos 2,
Kramer 4, Davis, Etheredge 4, Aug-
enstein 8, Stevenson 2.

Freshmen; Van Blarcom 2, Miller

Scotty tankmen have settled down
to hard training under Coach Fisch-
bach in preparation for the meets with
Kentucky and Tennessee, to be held
in Bartlett pool on January 29 and
February 5.

Prospects look fair for a come back
victory over the University of Ten-
nessee on February 5, after the defeat
given the Maryville swimmers in the
U-T pool January 17. The University
of Kentucky is another strong team,
and it will take some stretching for the
Maryville squad to defeat them.

It is apparent, however, that the two
visitors will find a stronger team than
the one which was defeated by the
University of Tennessee. Since January
17, some changes have taken place
which promise to produce the goods
in coming meets.

Maryville will be seriously weakened
though, if Hilditch is unable to con-
tinue practice. Hilditch has been one
of the main counters in sprints, and
for the last week he has been unable
to workout because of illness. He pro-
mises to be out long before any of the
meets roll around, though,

COMING EVENTS

A tough job is in store for the Mary-
ville wrestling unit tonight when the
Scots face the strong Appalachian
Teachers College Mountaineers at
Boone, North Carolina.

It is the second meet of the season
for the Scots, who will attempt to
erase the effects of a one-point defeat
at the hands of the surprising Knox-
ville YMCA team last week.

The Mountaineers, always a power
in the grappling circles of Carolina
will rate as a strong favorite. In the
last two encounters of the two teams
in 1936, they were twice victorious
over the Scots.

Maryville will offer a slightly revised
lineup with J. N. Badgett slated to
work in the 126 pound position.

The rest of the Highlander lineup
will be the same as that which faced
the Y team last Saturday.

Tornado To Win 36-34

The interclass basketball games in
Alumni Memorial gym will be open to
the sports public of college hill this
evening, when the surprising Sophs
meet the sedate Seniors and the Frosh
clash with the Juniors, beginning at
8:00.

The affair is staged under the

A hearty welcome is extended to

Maryville led 20-10 at the half, and
seemed to have the situation well in
hand until King's Mr. Roberts began
to get the range with his free-wheeling
shot. The elongated center, brother
of Emory-Henry's famous Glenn
Roberts, was closely guarded in the
first half by Junior Odell, but he got
his chance for the moment when Odell
fouled out in the opening minutes of
the second half.

Ellworth Black and J. D. Hughes
were disqualified early in the second
frame, along with Russell, of King.

With the Scots functioning none tpo
well at guarding men who had to look
down to see them, the score went to
29-28.

Roberts and his pals were definitely
on the offensive and showing little sign

SPRING AWAKENING!!!!!!!

The fifty-three year old ban on
dancing at Mississippi state College for
Women has been lifted. From now on
each of the four classes may give a
dance sometime between January 15
and May 1. The students are now pre-
paring for the first dance in the
history of the institution. One of the
rules gov- -ing the dances concerns
the popular fads in dancing. "Students
must not take their dancing violently
by waving arms aloft like dancing
Apaches or jiggling music box figures.
AT RANDOM

The Student Government association
at Agnes Scott college has chosen a
group of seniors to chaperone fresh-
men dates. The chaperone will talk
when the conversation lags, but will
subdue her own wit and charm so
that the freshman gitl will not be over-
shadowed. Another requirement is that
the chaperone must be sympathetic
and understanding. The question is,
where do wit and charm slop aid
sympathy and understanding begin?
No doubt the freshmen girls have some
ideas on that subject.

Dr. William Marston, a psychologist
at Harvard, pi-edicts that in the next
hundred years, women will rule the
world. Dr. Stevenson Smith of the
University of Washington, is comment-
ing on this statement says that this
forecast is "like suddenly discovering
that two and two make four." Well,
girls, are we losing our feminine sub-
tlety?
CUMBERLAND COLLEGIAN
Two sophomores at Cumberland Uni-
versity have opened a student cafe
called the "Greasy Spoon." The shop,
which is expected to become a stu-
dent hangout, will serve five-cent
sandwiches, red hot chili, and various
other student favorites at "student"
prices.

Grace Moore, on her recent trip
through Knoxville, granted an audi-
tion to Dorothy Wyatt, a junior at

tralto.
KENTUCKY KERNEL
A scathing article in the University
of Kentucky publication criticizes the
attitude of a University audience at-
tending the recital of Katherine Meisle,
leading contralto of the Metropolitan
Opera. (Miss Meisle gave a recital in
Knoxville last week). When a stage
hand came out to adjust a footlight, the
audience applauded. This exhibition
of poor taste reminds us of the snickers
and occasional scattered applause of
Maryville audiences when stage hands
appear on our chapel platform during
concerts.

of a letdown. Weldon Baird, Highland-
er forward then slipped away to sink
a crip shot, and Scottie Honaker tallied
with a free throw, to put Maryville
ahead at 32-28. The Tornado, seemingly
dismayed by this sudedn show of
stubborness, folded up. They missed
half a dozen pay-off shots under the
hoop and pitched away numerous foul
chances in the last four minutes.

The Highlanders were beginning to
pull away again as the game ended.

The Honaker outfit showed distinct
possibilities as Smoky Mountain con-
tender, despite their tendency toward
erratic passing. The men who were
considered reserves, and not-too-strong
reserves, in December, are showing
their heels to the boys on the varsity
at times.

All eleven of the men used in the
36-34 triumph showed their ability to
play at the Smoky Mountain pace.

Mainly responsible for the win were
Howard Magill's offensive play and
the work of Odell and freshman
"Swede" Jockinson in holding Roberts
to 15 points, which was no small task.

WEBSTER IS IN HOSPITAL

The hospital reports only one patient
this week, George Webster, who is sick
with measles. Last Sunday Clara Dale
Echols was discharged after an attack
of pleurisy. At her home, Miss Heron,
having been seriously ill for. several
weeks, is showing improvement, but
does not expect to be able to return
to her classes next week.

Verton M. Queener, instructor in
history and public speaking will speak
at Alpha Sigma's meeting at 6:45 this
evening. Professor Queener's subject
will be the Neutrality Act. There will
also be several musical numbers on
fiie program.

You may recall that Popeye
in the course of his adven-
tures encounters many phy-
sical giants of varying pug-
nacious temperments. As the
story goes, these Amazonian
terrors endeavor to pulverize
our hero with a series of ter-
rific punches. Popeye, like the
true man he is, does not con-
tent himself with this humili-
ating abuse and defeat, but
instead, calls for a recess; fills
himself with GOOD FOOD
and re-enters the fray to
emerge victorious.

This week begins your bat-
tle of obstacles— MID-TERM
EXAMS— You too can emu-
Mate Popeye's victorious at-
titude— IF— you supply your
constitution with the right
food.

We serve dainty food to
the ladies, but we also serve
that strengthening food that
pleases the men. We see that
they get enough and of the
best. Naturally our food, be-
ing the best, gives you that
added something which will
enable you to sail through any
exam.

tween exams to drop in and

Last Half Spurt Brings West Virginians Top-heavy Win;

LEADER OF FEBRUARY MEETINGS

Held almost on even terms by a stubborn first half Scot defense, Mar-
shall college stepped up the pace in the second period last night to roll over
a hard-scrapping Hnoker outfit, 62-26.

Rivlin and Watson, elongated forward and center for the West
Virginians, chalked up a personal tally of ten and nine points respectively in
this half. They, with Morlock, whose 14 points led the scoring, made life un-
pleasant for the Highlanders. All hit with uncanny accuracy from the center
of the flooor whenever they chose to turn loose.

The halftime score found Maryville trailing 12-20 and Scot fans settling
back in their seats for a pleasantly surprising show of resistance by the
Honakermen.

Maryville had been in possession of m . . — .

the ball more than half the time, and
despite their miserable luck under the
goal, had looked good enough to give
the touted Marshall's a headache.

But it was not long beofre the inter-
mission that the visiting six-footers be-
gan to show their superior brand of
hoop artistry. Thereas they had been
content to take an occasional pot-shot
from beyond the Scot defense, they
now started to work closer for a steady j
stream of snowbirds.

They were pulling away as the game
ended.

The loss of Dale Russell via the in-
jury route in the opening half cost the
Highlanders a large part of their scant
supply of six foot performers. Rusell,

National College
Associations Meet

President Lloyd Receives
Distinctions

In Chicago last week, there were held
the annual meetings ' of a number of
national college associations — the As-
sociation of American Colleges, the
National Conference of Church-Re-
lated Colleges, the Council of Church
Boards of Education, the Pan-Presby-
terian and die Presbyterian College
Unions and separate meetings of col-
leges of the Methodist, Baptist, Luth-
eran, Catholic, and other church
groups. About five hundred delegates,
chiefly college presidents, were pre-
sent.

In the election of officers for the
coming year, President Lloyd of Mary-
ville college was made president of two
of the organizations — of the National
Conference of Church-Related col-
leges, composed of something over
three hundred Protestant and Catho-
lic colleges; and of the Pan-Presby-
terian College Union, composed of
about one hundred colleges and the
boards of education of the various de-
nominations holding the Presbyterian
and Reformed Faith and background.
President Lloyd is also a member of
the executive committees of two of
the other groups — the Council of
Church Boards of Education, and the
Presbyterian College Union, of which,
interestingly, President Anderson of
Tusculum college, Greeneville, Ten-
nessee, was appointed chairman.

The programs of the week were built
around the general theme of "The Col-
leges and Public Life." Speakers in-
cluded Ex-Chancellor Bruening of
Germany, Secretary of the Interior
Ickes, Bishop Hughes of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Washington; Dr.
Homer C Rainey, Director of the Am-
erican Youth Commission; President
Hutchins of the University of Chi- j
cago; Dr. Arthur Compton, famous j
(Continued on page four)

Mrs. Nita Eckles West announced
this week that all parts for the Theta
Epsilon-Alpha Sigma play "First Lady"
have been assigned and that practice
is well under way. John Guigou has
been selected to play the part of
Charles the Butler, and John Fisher
and Stan Phillipps have been appoint-
ed as business manager and stage man-
ager, respectively.

"First Lady" is a sparkling and witty
satire on the federal government at
Washington, but no particular ad-
ministration is the object of ridicule.
Washington's elite social set is shown
in all its dignity and snobbishness,
while its formality is offset by Emmy
Paige, an unsophisticated little South-
ern girl. The play is packed with
humor and clean fun, and a laugh is
promised in every line.

The plot centers around a feud be-
tween the wife of the Justice of the
Supreme Court, played by Irene
Browder, and the wife of the Secretary
of State, played by Gloria Miller.
William Swearingen and Gordon Ben-
nett play important male parts and
are supported" by an all-star cast of
fourteen others. In addition to the
characters already mentioned, several
other important parts are played by
Esther McCollum, Katherine Bennett,
Muriel Mann, Bruce Walters, Irwin
Ritzman, John Ballenger, James Whitt,
Robert Gillespie, and William Felknor.

The production promises to be one
of the most humorous presented on
the Maryville campus in several years.

New Plan For Examination Fails To
Gain Popularity With Student Body

Representative Poll Shows That Students Prefer Old

System To New As It Now Stands; Would

Prefer New Plan If Revised

By OTTO PFLANZE

In a poll of campus opinion made this week, 45 out of 100 students de-
clared themselves in favor of revising the new test system established in the
college this year. They proposed a change that would keep students from being
required to take three two-hour exams in one day.

41 students stated their preference for last year's system of rotating
period exams. They declared they would not be in favor of the new system even
if the proposed revision were made. Only 14 voiced their approval of the new
system as it stands.

The main objection students have to the new system is the strenuous
final tests. They found it difficult to go immediately from one two-hour exam
to another on an entirely different subject. However, most students liked the
concise review of the semester's work which the new system gives.

w Those who favored the new system

declared too much time was spent in
studying for tests and not enough in

Former Student Finds
His Youth A Handicap

G. Edward Friar, former student
of Maryville college, and recent grad-
uate of the University of Tennessee,
is not yet permitted to take the state
bar examination because he is not
old enough to meet the statutory re-
quirement, the age of 21. He is asso-
ciated, however, with the law firm of
Lowe and Kimberly, Knoxville,

After high school, Mr. Friar attended
Maryville college, entered the Univer-
sity of Tennesse law school in 1934,
graduating last June. While attending
U. T. he was the leader of a dance
orchestra in which several Maryville
students played.

Mr. Friar attained high scholastic
and extra-curricular honors in every
school and college he attended.

Student From Syria Enrolls At

Maryville For Second Semester

The most recent addition to the
Maryville college student enrollment
from far-distant lands is Olivia Latoff,
who comes to Maryville this semester
from Syria, Asia Minor.

Born in Merrine, Turkey, Miss Latoff
lived for the past twelve years in
Beirut, Syria, where she attended the
American Junior College for Women.
Last year she was a special student at
the American university at Beirut.

Miss Latoff arrived at New York
City October 15, for her first sight of
America. Hence, she has been on this
continent less than four months. When
asked for her opinion of this country
■he replied that it is very much like

Europe, through which she has travel-
ed. "But,"' she added, "America is more
free than Europe." She likes library
work, and plans to enter that field
after graduation. If she likes America
well enough, she expects to stay here
permanently.

There are two brothers of Miss
Latoff in the United States. One of
them lives in Chicago, the other, in
Mobile. Having studied our language
at school in Syria, she comes here able
to speak English very well for one
born and reared in the Near East.

Miss Latoff was impressed with the
friendly spirit shown by the women
students here at Maryville.

As a result of the freshmen reading
test given to determine the rapidity
and comprehension of freshmen in
reading it was found approximately 60
c/c were below average in rate and 36
r/c below in comprehension. This test
was scored on the same scale as the
aptitude tests and will be compared
with the national scale. All freshmen
falling below the average will be re-
quired to take the special training
given by the psychology department.
The reason for the low average is at-
tributed by Dr. Briggs to an inability
to focus the eye muscles properly.

period method of tests. It also did not
allow the teacher to make a satisfactory
division of lesson material.

James Proffitt, president of the senior
class, was one of those favoring the
revision. He declared the new system
better than the old, but went on to say
students should not be asked to take
as many as three tests in one day.

Among the 41 dissenters was Marvin
Minear, YMCA president. "The new
system causes too much work at the
end of the semester," Minear said.

John Lancaster, student council
president, preferred the rotating period
system to the present one as it stands.
Lancaster voiced the opinion, "No
student should be required to take
more than two two-hour exams in one
day."

Three From Maryville
Attend Inaugurations
At Vanderbilt, Peabody

President and Mrs. Ralph W. Lloyd
and Dr. Rogers of the Maryville faculty
have been in Nashville during yester-
day and today attending inauguration
ceremonies at Vanderbilt university
and the George Peabody College for
Teachers. President Lloyd officially re-
presented Maryville college; and Dr.
Rogers, his alma mater. Grove City
college, Pennsylvania. On Friday
morning Sidney Clarence Garrison was
inaugurated as the fifth president of
Peabody college. On Saturday morn-
ing, Oliver C. Carmichael was inaugu-
rated as the third chancellor of Van-
derbilt university.

Vanderbilt is generally regarded as
unsurpassed in the South for her aca-
demic standards, and Peabody has long
been the leading southern institution
for the professional training of
teachers.

I February Meetings Commence Tuesday
Morning With Leadership Of Barbour

Barbour Opens Services In

Voorhees Chapel

Tuesday

The first service of the February
meetings will be next Tuesday morn-
ing at 9:45 a. m., with Dr. Clifford E.
Barbour, pastor of the Second Presby-
terian Church, Knoxville, conducting
the meetings. The Rev. Sidney E.
Stringham, pastor of the Epworth
Methodist Episcopal Church, St. Louis,
will lead the singing for the sixteenth
consecutive year.

As in former years, President Ralph
W. Lloyd will preside, various stu-
dents and facutly members will parti-
cipate in the devotional services, the
choir and the music faculty will play
an important part in all of the meet-
ings, and many other faculty members
and students will assist in different
ways.

Concerning the meetings the presi-
dent's office has released the following
memorandum:

In coming as the preacher for 1938,
Dr. Barbour takes his place in a long
succession of leaders, many of whom
hold eminent places in the Christian
world. He is an excellent speaker-
intellectual, human, practical, spiritual.
His congregations each Sunday morn-
ing fill his large stone church building
in Knoxville where he has been pastor
for nine years. He is a vigorous and
joyous personality and yet one of un-
derstanding and sympathy.

Dr. Barbour was on the campus re-
cently and introduced Dean Wicks of
Princeton at Chapel; it was Dr. Bar-
bour who was responsible for arranging
Dean Wicks' visit to Maryville.

Young people in large numbers go
to Dr. Barbour for personal counsel
and attend his church services. TJiere
is every reason to expect that through
his ministry at Maryville God will
greatly bless all those who attend the
meetings.

Anderson Laid Foundations
Of Meetings Before
Civil War

NOTICE

Necessary schedule changes
can be made anytime Monday
in the personnel office. Students
are urged to ask for changes
only when necessitated by fail-
ures or other exceptional reasons.

Students making changes in
schedule Monday must bring
their second semester treasurer's
receipt.

The series of meetings which we
now call the February meetings were
founded during the term of office of
the Rev. P. Mason Bartlett, third
president of Maryville college. The real
foundation for these meetings, how-
ever, was laid by Dr. Isaac Anderson,
founder and first president of this in-
stitution.

In pre-war days, Dr. Anderson,
pastor of the New Providence church
in Maryville, held every year a series
of services which the students from
Maryville college attended and in
which took part. For ten years follow-
ing the war the college continued to
share in these meetings; but about this
time the college became so large that
it was necessary to have its own meet-
ings. Because of the increase in the stu-
dent body, the February meetings were
established.

The first February meetings were
held in the old chapel on the second
floor of Anderson hall in 1877, and
were led by Rev. Nathan Bachman,
D.D. It was these first meetings that
determined to a large extent the char-
acter of the future February meetings
which were regularly held throughout
the following years. Among those who
have led the meetings since that first
series are Dr. Nathan Bachman, Dr.
E. H. Elmore, Dr. William J. Trimble,
and Dr. Ralph W. Lloyd.

Since the introduction of these meet-
ings into the religious program of the
college 61 years ago, Dr. Bachman's
doctrine of character-building through
the influence of religion has been one
of the underlying principles of these
meetings.

A short time after finishing seminary,
he married Ruth B. Wilson, a daughter
of President-Emeritus Samuel Tyndall
Wilson and also a graduate of the class
of 1909.

Maryville's varsity debate team left
Thursday to compete in their first
scheduled match of the season in an in-
vitation preliminary tournament at
Boone, North Carolina. Schools from
all sections of the mountain region at-
tend, but this is Maryville's first year
to participate.

The tournament, which convened for
two days, Friday and today, featured
debate, oratorical, after dinner and ex-
temporaneous speeches. Two debate
teams and one extemporaneous speaker
made the trip with Coach Verton M.
Queener to represent Maryville:
George Hunt, William Lewis, Harwell
Proffitt, and James Witt, as the men's
team, with Sara Lee Heliums, Curt-
marie Brown, Helen Maguire, and
Miriam Waggoner representing the
women. Louise Proffitt will enter the
extemporaneous speaking events.

Council and the heads of the various
dormitories, students were allowed late
lights for studying on all evenings be-
fore the exams last week, except Sun-
day evening. The women in Memorial

Former Echo Editor Returns From

Indiana University For Short Visit

Being editor of a college newspaper
would seem to make a person suspi-
cious, or perhaps he has another word
for it. When asked for an interview,
Bryan Payne, who visited in Maryville
last week, grinned and observed. "Mm.
Must be low on copy this week."

While at Maryville college, Mr.
Payne was outstanding in literary acti-
vities— whatever that means. He was
a member of the writers' workshop,
was business manager of the 1935
Chilhowean, and served four years on
the staff of the Highland Echo, being
elected editor his senior year.

Mr. Payne entered Maryville college
with journalism in view, but became

discouraged because of lack of free-
dom. Through Dr. Paul Fields and
Miss Helen Gamble, he became inter-
ested in research work and chose psy-
chology as his major field.

In 1935-36, Payne and Clifford Mor-
gan were the only two psychology
majors at Maryville college. Morgan
received a fellowship at the University
of Rochester where he is now work-
ing under Dr. Leonard Carmichael.

Immediately after leaving Maryville,
Payne entered the graduate school of
the University of Indiana where he has
completed the work for his master's
degree and is now at work on his Ph.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 5, 1938

PARAGRAPHICS

Certain types of talks and public addresses lend them-
selves gracefully to applause; sermons do not. The WTy
expression on the face of Dr. Howard Moody Morgan
when someone started clapping appreciation for his sermon
in chapel last week would seem to indicate that he, too,
considered the applause out of place.

• « • * •

With first semester final examinations over, we sup-
pose that we should give the customary inspiring editorial
on forgetting past mistakes and striving toward greater
golden heights in the second semester. But somehow we
just don't feel in the mood for it. Sincerely desiring to be
helpful, however, we gladly offer one of our aspirin tablets
to the first five students or faculty members calling at
the Echo office.

♦ * * • *

Last week the editor of the student publication of
Southwestern college, Memphis, Tennessee, resigned be-
cause of too much faculty intervention. The faculty had
ordered him to suppress news of the Student Council's
disciplinary activities, even though the names of the
students disciplined were omitted. We had occasionally
wondered when a student publication is not a student
publication, and now we believe we know.
* ♦ ♦ ♦ *

Like Demosthenes searching for a truthful man, an
Echo reporter this week searched for someone who likes
the new exam system. The going was rather hard, but he
finally found some who were in favor of the new plan.
Whether you like it or not you will be interested in seeing
the opinions of your classmates on it in the story on page
one.

• » • * *

In his inimitable ottotorial style, Mr. Pflanze turns
Don Quixotic in his column, Signs of the Times, long
enough to espouse the cause of the poor wretches whose
last names come between M and Z in the alphabet. He
complains that men in this class do not become great.
What about Mussolini, Tugwell, Stalin, Roosevelt, or would
they be an argument for his side?

* * * * *

Surprised to find that the views expressed in this
column are not always their own, students have occasional-
ly expressed a desire to know who writes the editorials
for the Highland Echo. In order that the reputation of no
one else on the staff be jeopardized, we gladly explain that
all editorials, unless otherwise signed, are written hy the
editor.

» ♦ « » *

We heard just enough of the boos at the wrestling
match last evening to have a faint suspicion that Maryville
supporters cannot take it. If Maryville loses, it is always
the fault of the referee— or so they seem to think. It's
about time that this narrow, misjudged attitude were
dropped.

A chauffer knows HOW; the engineer who built the
car knows WHY. The difference is about $10,000 a year.-

Signs of the Times

5g OTTO PFLANZE

REMEMBER THE MAINE

Forty years ago almost to a day the battleship Maine
riding at anchor in the harbor of Havana was shaken by
a terrific explosion. With a huge, gaping hole in her side
the vessel rolled over and sank swiftly into the sea. 266
men were killed in that disaster, and 2,478 more died in the
war that followed. No one was ever quite sure what
caused the explosion. Accusations were made on all sides,
but nothing was ever definitely proved.

The other day as the Japanese liner Hiye Maru lay
in the harbor at Seattle a swimmer pushed a railroad tie
loaded with 369 sticks of dynamite against its side. While
attempting to fix the bomb securely in position, he slipped,
floundered in the cold water, and drowned. Next day the
water-logged dynamite and the body of the would-bomber
were found floating in the bay. The plot to destroy the
Hiye Maru had failed.

Therein lies the probable story of what happened to
the Maine. At the time of the disaster there was much
friction between the United States and Spain. We thought
Spain was unjustly oppressing the Cubans, while the
Spaniards thought it was none of our business.

A Spaniard looked out across the bay at the Maine
lying at anchor. There was hatred in his heart. He despised
the inquisitive Yanqui from the North. That night he
towed a mine out to the steel plated sides of the vessel
and escaped in the darkness. He succeeded.

IT JUST AINT FAIR

One-half the people enjoy far more of the world's ad-
vantages than is their due. They receive the best, while
their less fortunate brethren are forced to endure untold
hardships. By this time the reader is weeping over the
plight of the "ill fed, ill housed, and ill clothed." But
nothing of the sort. I refer to those poor souls whose names
come between M and Z in the alphabet.

Thomas Jefferson made an awful mistake when he
wrote, "All men are created equal." But then, his name
comes in the first half of the alphabet; so there's little
wonder he couldn't comprehend any inequality in the dis-
tance from A to Z.

Washington was one of the few from this long-suffering
class who survived the hardships and rose to fame. But
then who's he beside such an array as Clay, Grant, Cleve-
land, Jackson, and Lincoln? And what's more; George
never had to go to college.

Back in the grammar-grades A through L sat on the
front rows while M through Z got to sit in the back and
shoot the peper wads. It was an asset then, but not any-
more. When registration day comes around A through L
get the desirable classes, while M through Z take what's
left. The latter part of the freshman class sleeps in the
balcony after the tiring climb up the steps. In the class
room the professors complain about the back row going
to sleep, but the back row is always composed of the long-
suffering latter part of the alphabet. Most of them gave
up the struggle long ag».

ODDS AND ENDS

Rather ironic is the fact that it takes a mere majority
vote of Congress to get the United States into war and a
two-thrids vote to get her out.

The rise of nationalism in America is signified by the
fact that they used to call the country "These United
States," while now one says "The United States."

Democracy in the West today is the forerunner of
Marxism, which would be inconceivable without De-
mocracy. It is the feeding-ground of that world pestilence

which is enabled to develop there. Adolf Hitler.

"Yes, quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down

You'd treat if met where any bar is,
Or help to half-a-crown."

SIMPSON SPENCER'S LAST LINES

ABOUT ONCE A YEAR some dear old Daughter of
the American Revolution exhibits a jingoistic patriotism
that calls down ridicule on her entire organization. Last
week one feverish dowager loudly proclaimed that all
the beautiful Japanese cherry trees in Washington should
be destroyed, to be replaced by good Nordic trees. This
same Descendant no doubt condemns Hitler for his tac-
tics.

THE TENDENCY OF MOST OF US to pass general
judgment on insufficient evidence is a habit we can well
do without. Those who deride the entire D. A. R., the
American Legion, the Ku Klux Klan, and similar groups
because of isolated instances of ignorance and intolerance
are exhibiting those same characteristics themselves. The
skeptic flays Christianity because the Presbyterian elder
next door swears at his wife. The Yankee tends to see
the entire South as an illiterate land of hillbillies, draw-
ing such a conclusion from two or three child- marriage or
lynching stories. Snap judgments easily become a complex,
characteristic in general of the untrained, unscientific
mind. H. G. Wells defines education as "the avoidance of
complexes". Need more be said?

JAM SESSION

Clemson college held a "pre-exam
jam session" just before their Mid-
Term exams began. A college orchestra
did the jamming. Bunny Berigan's
orchestra will play for the Clemson
Mid-Winters this year.

SLAM

Two psychologists at Florida State
College for Women have been con-
ducting scientific tests to determine
the extent of women's intuition. The
tests were conducted with students
and with a robot. As a result of their
experiments, the scientists have deter-
mined that the women have no more
intuition than the robot.

FORMALITY

Seniors, juniors and faculty mem-
bers at the University of the South
wear caps and gowns in classrooms.
This custom was established soon after
the founding of the University.
CENSORED!

Ward Archer, editor of the Sou'west-
er, publication of Southwestern college,
recently handed in his resignation on
the grounds that the faculty had or-
dered him to suppress news of the
Student Council's disciplinary activi-
ties. The editor said that he always
omitted the names of the students
disciplined, merely publishing the facts
of the cases and the penalties involved.

THE SPORTS EDITOR

It was with a deep feeling of shock that we re-
ceived news Tuesday night of the tragic accident which
took the lives of two members of the Carson-Newman
basketball team and injured four others.

Roy Roberts and James Grissom had friends
here who are unreserved in their praise of the character
and worth of the two boys. Both ranked high in the esteem
and regard of their team mates and acquaintances.
Roberts, one of the finest guards in the conference, was
also one of the most popuar men on the campus at the
Jefferson City school. Both will be missed.

To the Carson-Newman team, which lost three
excellent players, and to those who lost much more, we
extend our deepest sympathy.

BIG NAMES V LOTS OF 'EM

Quality and quantity are dominant on the sports
vista at Maryville this week. If you don't believe it, just
look around at the bright-hued green-and-white-sweat-
ed Marshall College hardwood aggregation, or the red
clad wrestlers of North Carolina State who are flitting
about the campus awaiting the Roman holiday as this is
written.

If more is needed, the swimming team of the
University of Tennessee has just left, after trouncing the
Scot swimmers. And just a few days ago Vanderbilt's
black and gold Commodore grapplers were taking in the
sights of the central area of Maryville's campus.

All of them are swell fellows, too; even though
they haven't been exactly considerate in their treatment
of Highlander teams. Both Vanderbilt and Tennessee
drew blood in their encounters, and the others are fully
expected to administer the same sort of treatment. We
might add, too, that the University of Kentucky has also
had a victorious finger in the pie of late, with their win
over the Scot swimmers last Saturday.

Speaking of Carolina State's wrestlers, as we
probably have, you may have noticed their coach. In case
you didn't he's Herman Hickman, All-American guard,
Tennessee, 1931, and the sort of fellow who stands out in
a crowd, no matter how big the crowd. You can't miss
Herman, all 260 pounds of him. And he's really a nice
guy to talk to. His boys insist that he can be inveigled into
showing you his scrap book ; indeed, they say he even likes
to show you his scrap-book. Unfortunately he seems not
to have brought his book along.

Goaded on by his admiring pupils, however, Hick-
man will tell you very entertainingly of the time when a
160 pound Maryville guard ran up and down his frame
all afternoon. Or, more willingly, of that game at New
York in which metropolitan scribes insist he played sixty
minutes of bang-up football in the NYU backfield.

The first thing Hickman said Friday morning as
he shook hands with Coach Bob Thrower was, "Bob, I'm
growing up faster than you are."

Seemingly bent on establishing an
unbeatable record for future Maryville
wrestling posterity, the Scot grapplers
dropped their fourth straight verdict
last night to the North Carolina State
crew of Herman Hickman. The score
to make matters worse, was 23 1-2 to
4 1-2.

The Highlanders were never in the
fray after the first three matches had
been lost, giving the visitors an 11
point lead.

John Astles and Bill Mooney lost
decisions after putting up a good fight
in the 118 and 126 pound classes. Ches-
lock of State then pinned Wood Everett
in four minutes and 45 seconds.

Still going strong, the Carolinians
took the next two battles, Edgar Meares
going down before Davis and Captain
Jim Renfro losing by decision to State's
Captain Shimer.

A bit of balm for Scot supporters
came in the 165 pound clash, in which
Guy Propst appeared to have the nod
over Leggett at the end of the extra
period duel. A questionable decision
rendered the bout a draw, however,
giving each team one and one-half
points.

The parformance of Propst in this
match was one of the high spots of
the program in view of the fact that,
an injured leg has kept him out of
rough work all week and prevented
his usual aggressiveness.

In the 175 pound set-to Obie Jen-
kins appeared to have things well in
hand after riding his opponent for
three minutes. Johnson came up in the
final three minutes period, though, to
stage a winning comeback, securing
a fall in eight minutes, 40 seconds.

Fred Tulloch gave a much improv-
ed performance in the heavyweight
show to trounce Frye with plenty to
spare.

THIS WAS NO. 2

Their second consecutive loss was
absorbed Saturday, January 22, by our
grapplers at Boon'.-, North Carolina,
the villains being the Appalachian
Teachers and the score 25-0.

The Scots, working on a fall-or-
nothing basis, suffered falls in four
of the events, while Guy Propst was
disqualified for stalling.

The decisive results came in the 118,
126, 135, and 175 pound weights.

ANOTHER ONE, 1816

Attempting to stage a comeback
against Vanderbilt University grunters
last Saturday, the Throwermen were
again trounced, this time after giving
a much more creditable account of
themselves. The score was 18-16.

After getting away to a slow start
the Scots rallied in the middle and
light heavyweight classes, to hold a
16-11 lead going into the last match.
Fleming, stocky Commodore bouncer,
then secured a fall over Tulloch for
the necessary points.

Decisions in the 118 and falls in the
126 and 135 pound matches gave Vandy
their other tallies. The Scots were vic-
torious in the 135, when Wood Everett
was awarded a forfeit over Keefe, who
injured his arm. Edgar Meares, in poor
shape after a mauling at Appalachian
on the previous Saturday, dropped his
match to Dozier, whom he had in
trouble constantly until the surprised
conclusion came about late in the
scrap. It was the second time in Meares'
career that he has been pinned, and the
first since his freshman year.

In the 155, Captain Jim Renfro gave
his opponent a convincing trouncing
to earn a referee's decision. Guy Propst
followed this one with a decision over
Vandy's captain and 165 pound ace,
Art Keene.

Interclass Standings Again Tangled
As Juniors Win, Frosh Make Comeback

Coming from behind at the half, the
juniors staged a rally which sent them
sky-rocketing over the sophomores,
Thursday evening, by a score of 35
to 28.

Colombo and McCaskie led the
juniors in both offensive and defensive
play. Colombo totaled 13 points to tie
with Born for high score position in
the game.

Born and Augestine led the soph-
omores, but were unable to stay off
the junior attack once it got under way.

The freshmen quintet pulled out of
a losing streak Thursday evening to
hand the seniors a sizeable defeat, 44

to 36, in the Alumni gym, in the in-
tramural loop.

After getting off with a slow start,
the freshmen slipped one over on the
upper-classmen and while the higher-
ups were rallying, the under-classmen
ran up such a large margin that the
seniors were unable to catch them.

Russell lead the frosh in their de-
vastating offensive with a total of 19
points. Scoring, however, was well
distributed throughout the ranks, and
this was one of the main causes of the
victory.

Parker, senior, was high score man
of the game with 21 points, but he was
unable to keep up with the sure-shot
freshmen.

In a close and exciting game the
Milligan Buffaloes turned back the
Highlanders of Maryville 44-45. This is
the second conference loss for the
Scotties. The game was close all the
way, with Maryville leading until the
final quarter, when Milligan finally
overtook and passed the Scots. How-
ington, Milligan substitute, was the
real offensive star for Milligan. Coming
into the game late in the first half, he

Tusculum

Maryville swimmers went down be-
fore the University of Kentucky tank-
men by a score of 27-48 in the dual
meet held in Barlett pool on the even-
ing of January 29.

Kentucky decidedly out-classed the
Scotty squad in all but three or four
events. Rusty Wicklund was the high
score man for the Maryville squad with
two first for ten points. Wicklund
showed excellent form to take the 220
and 100 yard free styles.

The University of Tennessee swim-
ming squad invaded Maryville territory
Thursday evening, and defeated the
Scotty tankmen in their own pool by
a score of 27-48.

Wicklund, Rippeth and Akana turn-
ed in six points apiece for the local
squad. Wicklund placed second in the
100 and 200-yard events; Rippeth took
second in the back-stroke and 440-
yard free style; while Akana got first
in the breast stroke and third in the
440-yard free style.

Maryville swimmers will meet their
first conference foe of the season when
Tusculum makes its invasion of the
Scotty pool here on March 18.

Maryville has met two non-con-
ference opponents so far, and has been
defeated in each case; first against U.T.,
then Kentucky, and again against U-T.
Tusculum, however, will be the first
school that the Maryville tankmen have
come up against on an equal footing.

Coach Fischbach seems confident
that the Tusculum mermen will meet
defeat by a larger score than any that
has been chalked up against Maryville
this season.

game was finished. His crips kept the
Buffalos up with Maryville in their
final rally. Dale Russell, Maryville
freshman who has been going "great
guns" in the last few games, was high
scorer for the game, sinking eight
field goals and three free throws for
a total of 19 points. Odell, who has
been playing a whale of a defensive
game for Maryville lately, came next
in the scoring for Maryville, hitting
the hoop for two field goals and five
free throws for a total of 9 points.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 5, 1938

Fits and Fizzles

By FRED EHOD1J

AN OPERA IN FIVE ACTS

Act I (Time: All semester. Scene
Various areas of the campus. Couples
stroll hither and thither among the
byways. An atmosphere of ethereal
Miss pervades everything.)
Girls sing (winsomely, allegro non
tan to):

"In the evening by the moonlight
You all tell us how you love us;
In the evening by the moonlight
You all swear by stars above us.
How we sweethearts do enjoy it,
We could sit all night and listen,
As you tell us in the evening by the
moonlight."
Boys sing (with spirit, e pluribus
unum):

"We're here for fun right from the
start,

Let's laugh and love sweetheart

That's what College Life's about!"

- M. C. —
Act II (Time: Has flown past in a mad
whirl of gay campus life. Final exams
rear their ugly heads on the smoke-
smudged horizon. Same couples, but
ethereal bliss has become anxious
dread.)

All sing (very slowly, with great feel-
ing):

"Where will we all be a week or
two from now?
Dum de da dum de, dum de da da—

dumb!

We'll be in an awful spot when
they come,
We'll be tearing out our hair when
they come,
Oh, we'll be a-steamin' and a-puff-
in'
But we won't pass them for nothin',
Yes, we'll flunk th' examinations
when they come."

- M. C. —
Act III (Time: 'Twas the night before
exams. Scene: One of feverish activity-
— great flourish of text books, scrap
paper, notebooks, oil lamps, etc. From
different regions of the dormitories
come strains of "Dark Eyes," "Let the
Lower Lights be Burning," "Go to
Sleep, Lena Darling," "Sons of Toil
are We," "Wait for the Wagon," and
"In the Evening by the Lamp Light.")
Voice sings (softly, as a lullaby):

"Cram, my child, and I'll cram with
thee,
All through the night;

We will drink the blackest coffee,
All through the night.

Woe are we the coffee's muddy,

I am sleepy, so's my buddy;

I my dratted Virgil study

All through the night."
Act IV (Time: Exam week. Stage is
draped in black. Hushed groups
whisper solemnly in low, mournful
tones. The orchestra plays "Just Tell
Them that You Saw Me," and "Nobody
Knows the Trouble I've Had." Then
a hopeful note is sounded with "Pass-
ing By," and "Wait Till The Clouds
Roll By." Because of its poignant
associations, this act has been censored
rigidly.)

Act V (Time: Present. Bits of wreckage
still strew the stage— grim reminders
of the recent terrors. But good cheer
and happiness have returned. Loving
couples again infest the campus.)
All sing:

"After exams are over,
After the damage is done,
We're happy at last,

Don't care if we passed

The main thing is that they're gone,
We're here for fun right from the

start.
That's what College Life's about."

The National Conference of Church-
Related Colleges and other church
groups are giving special efforts to in-
forming the American people of the
essential place of religion and of the
church-related college in the history,
and the present program of American
education. The radio, publications,
public addresses, and other means are
used. The National Conference of
Church-Related Colleges and the
Council of Church Boards of Education
have a joint office in Washington, D.

Gould Wickey. The Association of
American colleges has its office in New
York and its Executive Director is
Dr. Guy E Snavely. The denomin-
ational groups have headquarters,
offices and staffs in various principal

cities.

The most prominent note struck in
the recent discussions in Chicago was
to the effect that the present chaos
of the world is not due to lack of
wealth or even of technical education
but to lack of character, comprehensive
education, and religion in education
and life.

The senior class will meet in Bartlett
gym at 8:00 this evening for an in-
formal, closed party. Main activity of
the evening will be a treasure hunt
directed over the campus, ending at
the Y.W. room where refreshments will
be served.

Guest chaperones are Miss Geneva

Dr. Newell T. Preston.

Lee Whetstone is acting as refresh-

ward, ran a close second in the scoring,
sinking 5 field goals and one free throw
for a total of 11 points. Boydson Baird,
Maryville freshman, pulled the game
out of the fire in the closing minutes
of play by sinking a pair of pretty
field goals.

Installation Service

After a short installation service,
Miss Katherine Davies commented on a
number of musical compositions in
Athenian's program last Saturday
evening. Among the compositions,
which were played on the Fine Arts

Ravel's "Bolero," "The March of the
Toys" from Victor Herbert's "Babes in
Toyland," Gershwin's "Rhapsody in
Blue," and the "March of the Flowers"
from Tschaikowsky's "Nutcracker's
Suite."

Malcolm Brown was installed as sec-
retary, Russ Stevenson and Warren

PAYNE VISITS

(Continued from page one)

The student workers, under the
direction of Ernest C. Brown, began
spring improvements on the campus
this week. Mr. Brown plans to com-
plete the work of sowing grass on the
old walk in front of Thaw hall, and
that some additional shrubs will be
planted at various places on the lawn.

D. His thesis will be on the develop-
ment of eye-hand coordination in
schizo-phrenia.

When Payne's girl made the Echo
staff in the spring of his senior year,
columnist David Maas declared that
all the Echo office needed then was lacy
curtains and overstuffed furniture.
Incidentally, Maas' statement is pub-
lished now for the first time— two years
late.

But it is not for such trivial incidents
as this one that Payne remembers
Maryville. He remembers most his
associations with Dr. Fields and Miss
Gamble, whom he considers the best
professors that he has had.

Wilson Celebrates
His 80th Birthday
On Next Thursday

President Emeritus Served

MC As President

For 29 Years

HAS BIRTHDAY

On February 17, Dr. Samuel Tyn-
dale Wilson, president emeritus of
Maryville college, will celebrate his
eightieth birthday. With him will be his
grandson, Samuel Wilson II, who has
come from the Pacific coast expressly
for this occasion, and other members of
his family.

More than 60 years of Dr. Wilson's
life have been spent In activities of
this college. Born in Syria in 1858 of
missionary parents, he came with them
to America while still a boy and was
educated in Maryville college, graduat-
ing in 1878. He spent his first two years
as a< minister in Mexico doing mission-
ary work under the Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions and instructing in
the seminary in Mexico City. He re-
turned to the United States because of
ill health and in 1882 accepted a posi-
tion at Maryville as professor of Eng-
lish literature and language and Span-
ish. Until 1901 he served the college as
professor, registrar, librarian, and dean
simultaneously. In that year he was
elected president, a position he oc-
cupied for 29 years.

In the years of Dr. Wilson's presi-
dency the college made its greatest
progress. Seventy-five students were in
the college department when Dr. Wil-
son succeeded Dr. S. W. Boardman as
the president. When he retired in 1930
it contained 760 students. During that
time many changes took place, for the
college abolished the preparatory school
and became solely a liberal arts col-
lege. During that time the value of the
property and the endowment multi-
plied 8 times over, due in the main to
Dr. Wilson's efforts. According to Presi-
dent Ralph W. Lloyd, "while Dr. Isaac

Christian Endeavor Mov't
Celebrated

Dr. Ralph W. Lloyd addressed 150
young people of the Knoxville Christ-
ian Endeavor Union on Monday even-
ing, February 7. The address was made
at a banquet held at the S. and W.
Cafeteria in Knoxville to celebrate the
fifty-seventh anniversary of the begin-
ning of the Christian Endeavor move-
ment. Short speeches were made by
old members of Christian Endeavor.
These former members told of the be-
ginning of the movement in and about
Knoxville.

Dr. Lloyd made the principal add-
ress of the evening. On the forty-ninth
anniversary of the organization of the
Christian Endeavor, Dr. Lloyd made a
speech over the radio in Pittsburg,
Pa. In his address in Knoxville Dr.
Lloyd emphasized some of the points
that he had made in his Pittsburg raido
talk. He illustrated some of the pro-
blems, and solutions to the problems of
a Christian Endeavor organization.

Maryville students attending the
banquet were Louise Wells, Miriam
Waggoner, Barbara Anderson, Mary
Orr, and George Hunt.

Twosome Benches
Campus Work Show
Spring Has Sprung

BY PHIL EVAUL

If there is any doubt in the minds
of the students as to the nearness of
Spring, we would suggest that they
take a good look around the campus.
On every hand it will be noticed that
"Brownie" and his gang of stalwart
helpers are preparing the grounds for
the time of the year for which youth
eagerly awaits.

You have heard it said that Spring
is the time of the year when a young
man's fancies turn to thoughts of love,
and that is true. And yet, more practi-
cal minded persons realize that the ap-
proach of Spring means the time to
get busy on the grounds. It seems that
Maryville is blessed with both kinds
for while we see, even at this early
date, the benches beginning to fill
with loving couples, we also see leaves
being raked and burned, soil being
turned, and grass encouraged to grow.

And so, for all interested in the cam-
pus work of this week, I would suggest
looking in the following places: the
amphitheatre, where a group has raked
the leaves and cleaned the ground; the
rear of Carnegie hall, which seems bare
without its winter coat of leaves; the
lawn around Anderson hall, which
should grow green and abundant this
summer; the baseball field, where al-
ready the crack of the bat can be
heard; and the grounds and shrubs all
over the campus.

Writer's Workshop
Has First Meeting
Of Semester Monday

Writer's Workshop held its first
meeting of the new semester Monday
afternoon of this week, at which time
Bill Alston read an essay on advertis-
ing and warning signs, and Walter
West a short story on the troubles of
tobacco sellers leading to the first
ware-house tobacco sale in Louisville
in 1908.

Because of extra time allotted to
February meetings there will be no
meeting next week. On March 21, the
group is to vote on the five best writ-
ings of last semester to be placed in
the library.

A tall story contest will be featured
by the Athenian society at its regu-
lar meeting Saturday evening. Any
member of the society may volunteer
to enter the competition. In addition
to this program several musical num-
bers are being planned.

John Charles Thomas, distinguished
American baritone who will present a
concert in Voorhees chapel February
21, has one of the largest repertoires of
any concert artist. Thomas is able to
sing at a moment's notice and without
notes some 500 songs.

This repertoire is a well rounded one
composed of all types of music. Thomas
is equally at home in grand opera, light
opera, and purely concert selections. It
is his delight to vary his "heavier"
operatic numbers with light, frivolous
songs which invariably bring smiles
and thunderous applause.

John Charles Thomas is one of the
few purely American musicians who
have been universally acclaimed by
critics throughout the world. Bom in
Meyersdale, Pennsylvania, he is the
son of a Methodist minister and spent
much of his early childhood singing in
camp meetings where his father
preached.

The flip of coin is said to have
decided Thomas' career. His early
leanings were in the direction of medi-
cine. In fact he was attending the Balti-
more Medical school when he unex-
pectedly won a scholarship for the Pea-
body Conservatory of Music. A quick
decision was necessary, and Thomas let
the god of Chance decide.

The first great success Thomas made
was in the field of light opera. Singing
on the New York stage, he soon became
a matinee idol and one of the highest
paid performers in that field of music.
Successful though he was, Thomas
never was quite satisfied. He had a
yearning for further artistic develop-
ment on the concert stage and in grand
opera.

And so it was that John Charles
Thomas abandoned the light opera
stage after 8 years before the foot-
lights of Broadway and ventured on
the concert platform. His advent into

Plans Of Affair Directed
By Dewell

The fund to be used for installing an
organ in Voorhees chapel has reached
$1300. The type of organ suitable for
use in the chapel will cost about $2000.

It was previously thought that an
organ could be purchased for $1500,
but later investigation indicated that
a slightly more expensive model was
desirable.

A committee composed of Miss Kath-
erine Davies, Miss Dorothy D. Home,
and Ralph Colbert have just returned
from St. Louis, where they have been
examining various small pipe organs
built to sell in the same price class
as the Hammond electric organ.

The committee attended demonstra-
tions at the Kilgen organ factory in
St. Louis and the Wicks factory in
Highland, Illinois. No organ has been
selected, but it is expected that a deci-
sion will be made in the near future.
Anyone wishing to make additional
contributions to the fund should see
Mrs. Ralph W. Lloyd or Miss Davies.

The varsity debate squad has sev-
eral trips scheduled for February and
the first part of March. Two women's
teams, Sara Lee Heliums and Louise
Proffitt, Affirmative, and Georgia Ingle
and Arda Walker, Negative, will at-
tend the Smoky Mountain Women's
Tournament to be held at Virgina In-
termont college February 19. Two
men's teams, Warren Ashby and Ar-
nold Kramer and Otto Pflanze, Affir-
mative, and Warren Ashby and ClifV-
ford Proctor, Negative, will attend

at Johnson City February 26.

Nine members of the squad will

rensic tournament at High Point, N.

ing this trip are Arnold Kramer, Otto

187 Schedule Changes

Were Made On Monday

The women of Pearsons hall will
hold a formal reception for all men
students and faculty members of the
College next Thursday evening from
7:30 to 9:30.

Plans for the affair are under the
direction of Mary Frances Dewell,
president of the dormitory. She is aid-
ed by Lee Whetstone, chairman of the
refreshment committee, Helen Bobo,
in charge of receiving, and Deane
Brown, who is planning the musical
program.

The reception will be conducted
somewhat differently from the one
last year. Upon entering the down-
stairs lobby, each visitor will receive

Freshman Debate
Squad Is Chosen

M.C. To Sponsor Freshman
Tournament

Stringham Returns For His

16th Consecutive

Year

Schedule changes for the second
semester were made last Monday at the
personnel office with 187 students mak-
ing changes. Beginning in the morning
and continuing throughout the day,
Dr. McClellan, Miss Geneva Hutchin-
son, and Miss Viola Lightfoot assisted
the students in rearranging their pro-
grams. This was the last time in which
programs could be changed.

Thirteen men and women were
chosen members of the freshman de-
bate squad after the tryouts last Mon-
day. The members of the squad are
as follows: Ivan Blake, William Felk-
nor, Robert Lamont, Robert Short,
David Talmage, George Webster,
Thomas Woolf, Marianna Allen, Mary
Darden, Ellen Losey, Annette Mede-
find, Elizabeth Moore, and Virginia
Wheeler. The first meeting of the
group will be Thursday evening, Feb-
ruary 17, at seven o'clock in Mr. Ver-
ton M. Queener's clasroom.

The freshman debate question is,
Resolved: that the several states should
adopt unicameral ligeslatures.

Maryville will sponsor a Freshman
tournament March 25 and 26. Cum-
berland university, East Tennessee
Teachers college, King college, and the
University of Tennessee will come to
Maryville to participate in this tourna-
ment.

The judges were Dr. E. R. Hunter,
Dr. D. H. Briggs, and Professor S. H.
Kiger.

Colbert Replaced By
McCurry As Head Of
The Royal Collegians

The college orchestra known as the
Royal Collegians has been reorganized
and E. E. McCurry, proctor of Carnegie
hall, has been made sponsor. Mr. Mc-
Curry replaces Ralph W. Colbert, band
director, who had to give up the spon-
sorship because of conflicting duties.

Eugene Craine remains as leader of
the group and Robert Rankin has been
elected manager and program director.
Besides those already mentioned, seven
others are members of the orchestra:
Oliver Williams, Norman Bennett, Paul
Elrod, A. R. McCammon, Jimmy Pol-
lock, Hal Simpson, and Howard McGill

At the Tuesday morning chapel ser-
vice, the sixty-first annual series of
Feb. meetings began, with Dr. Clifford E.
Barbour, pastor of the Second Presby-
terian church of Knoxville, bringing
the messages. The Rev. Sydney E.
Stringham, pastor of the Epworth M.E.
church of St. Louis, is leading the sing-
ing for the sixteenth consecutive year.

There is no meeting this evening.
Wednesday morning will be held the
last service of the series.

The following are brief summaries
of the first seven of Dr. Barbour's ser-
mons:

Tuesday Morning

The general theme for these morn-
ing talks is to be what Religion Means
to Me. The best way for me to con-
vince you of the value of Christian
living is for me to tell what it means
to me. Therefore, these morning mes-
sages are to be a confession of faith
on my part.

Tuesday Evening

The Necessity for Having Adequate
Loyalties. Various groups are trying to
get people to be loyal to their ways of
living. We must recognize the neces-
sity for adequate loyalties command-
ing us. We should be loyal, first, to
ourselves — be loyal to the royal in our-
selves. Self giving, not self preserva-
tion is the first principle of life. Second,
we should be loyal to our family group.
Don't let the inevitability of the grad-
ual ruin beautiful family relationships.
Be loyal to love, sacrifice and self-
forgetfulness. Then, third, we should be
loyal to the best in our country.

We can get these loyalties, as Paul
did, by experiencing the power of
Christ. We can not do it by ourselves.

Maryville Men Prepare For Bachelorhood— Or 5o They Say

JUNIORS EDIT

HIGHLAND ECHO

In accordance with long-estab-
lished presedent, each junior on
the editorial staff of the High-
land Echo will be given op-
portunity to take over the editor-
ship of one issue. The schedule
follows:
February 19 — Arthur Byrne
February 26 — George Felknor
March 5 — Robert Brandriff
March 12 — Curtmarie Brown
March 26— Fred Rhody

"First I beat together two cups of
flour, one cup of sugar, and a cup and
a half of milk. Then I add a lump of
butter and bring to a boil."

"Personally, I find that a little less
flour and just a pinch of salt add to
the flavor and keep it from being too
heavy."

This abstruse and technical conver-
sation is not between two co-eds in
the practice house, but an ex-wrestler
and a test-tube and retort man from
the chem. lab — to be painfully specific,
it is Bob Gillespie and Clyde Powell
comparing recipes! The cause of it all
is listed in the catalog as Home Eco-
nomics IM: Problems in the Selection
of Foods and Clothing for Men; al-
though it is better known unofficially
as the "Grooms' Course." of the four-
teen men enrolled, however, every one

denies the groom-status immediately
and emphatically, past, present, and
future. It is all a matter of self-pre-
servation, they claim, in the face of
long years of bachelorhood. But even
to the untrained eye, there seem to be
several rather striking exceptions.

The class, which meets two days a
week on the third floor of Fayerweath-
er, is under the genial and rather
amused direction of Miss Meiselwitz,
head of the department of Home Eco-
nomics, aided by her comely assitant,
Helen Watson. Lectures are chiefly on
the problems of nutrition, the content
and use of various foods, and the plan-
ning of meals for variety, food value,
and economy. Later lecture? will also
deal with etiquette, housing, clothing,
and personality.

It is the lab on Monday morning,
however, that elicits the exuberant en-

thusiasm of all concerned, and results
in such evidences of decadent mas-
culinity as the opening conversation.
There, in white aprons and with sleeves
rolled up, the boys have food, real food
to play with, and judging by the way
they go at it, it's the first some of
them have seen since they left home.
The first laboratory period was spent
in learning various new and different
ways to prepare fresh fruits in an ef-
fort to eliminate what their instructor
insists is an entirely unnecessary same-
ness in the usual family breakfast.
The practical value of such instruction
cannot easily be overestimated, be-
cause every one had seven different
fresh fruits to sample, and most of
a can of fruit juice to drink. (The re-
lease of which information is calculated
to convert a great number of hesitating
freshmen to the study of the physical

sciences). This Monday the boys will
be inducted into the gentle art of cook-
ing cereals palatably; next week, the
preparation of eggs and cheese, and so
on through most of the foods in com-
mon use today. If possible, the
laboratory work gets better as it pro-
gresses. "Griddle cakes, waffles, and
pancakes" are scheduled for the 28th,
and a month later the outline calls for
"steaks and roasts." To cap it off, the
next week is on the "cooking and carv-
ing of poultry," which, if it is to be well
done, will certainly involve at least two
chickens in their destruction.

Naturally, and obviously, the course
is a great success, and *he members of
the class are the first to agree with
Miss Meiselwitz, that "the combination
of foods into palatable meals is both
a science and an art."

Exams Indicate
Pearsons' Women
Cannot Take It

BY JESSIE CASSADA

Eleven o'clock on Friday night and
Pearson's parlor is so lonely and quiet
I can hear every tick of that erratic
clock in the hall. This writer, being
a slave to habit, didn't feel like going
to bed, so came down for company. But
where she had found every night for
the past week bathrobed girls, spraw-
led, huddled, and cuddled in blankets
on every foot of floor and chair space,
with books filling all smaller vacancies,
she was checked now by the total ab-
sence of life. "Shucks, the sissies — you'd
think they lived for exams! Now that
they're all over, every student of them
treks right off to bed at the mere
blinking of a light. And worse than
that, even in daylight, people go about
dull-eyed as if with no interest in pre-
sent life. Perhaps the fire of youthful
energy has all been expended during
the recent fiveday marathon for trans-
ference of fact and theory from text-
book to blue-book. Ah, those were the
days when life had some life! There was
a wholesome unconcern for such crudi-
ties as food, sleep, and newspapers.
Conversation pulsed with the strong
elements suggested by such frequent
words as: 'Wasn't that English exam
awful? Gosh, you said it! How much
did you write on that fourteenth ques-
tion? Aw, I didn't do so well, and she
grades hard, too. Hey, what was the
nickname of Richard III? Phew, Wed-
nesday at three, and I'll be in heaven.
In bed at least. I dunno, I put Coghill's
experiment. We can't get grades till
Friday. Yeah, it must be a good article,
I'll read it next week. Will you pay my
bills?— I've gotta memorize this list.
Let's go to that Wild Western and re-
lax.'

What's wrong with the professors,
too? Instead of smiling acknowledge-
ments that you are one of the fine pro-
ducts of last semester's teaching, they
look grayly at anyone coming near and
mumble with excited restraint, 'Which
class are you in? Note books over
there. No, grades aren't ready yet.'

Student assistants are rather popular,
though it's hard to see why, for they
look hollow-eyed and wearied with
living.

Oh well, nice new courses we have,
wouldn't they be?"

OPTIONAL SENIOR
CLASS ATTENDANCE

The Highland Echo would like to see Maryville
college adopt a policy of optional class attendance for
seniors. The plan, which is by no means original with us,
is working successfully in many progressive schools.

We do not feel that class attendance would be
extremely affected. Seniors usually know how many cuts
they can afford to take. Giving the student more responsi-
bility would help bridge the gap between his senior year
and the year after his graduation, when he has to depend
entirely upon himself.

Class attendance would be affected most in any
classes where the material is presented in a dull, unmean-
ingful manner. If there should be any professor with an
outdated technique of teaching, a plan of this type would
convince him of the necessity for improving his methods
to make students interested.

By the time a person has spent three years here,
he is quite able to take care of grade points, or else the
paragraph, "End of Second Year," on page 25 of the Mary-
ville college bulletin does not mean all that it implies.

All class hours are obviously not of the same
value. An occasional morning or afternoon spent in un-
interrupted study would frequently do the student more
good than three or four hours spent in the classroom.

ON COLLEGIATE LABOR

In parlor conversation, a man who works his way
upward through college is beamed upon as a martyr who
forsook leisure and deviation for the manly glory of self-
support. The psuedo-glamor encircling such a laborer
attracts many collegians into the class of "men who work-
ed their way through college."

The Kernel is not condemning any student, who,
to gain an education, is forced by financial circumstances
to seek extra-curricular activity in part-time, money-
making work. But there are a number of students who
unecessarily toil to earn spare cash.

This leads to two difficulties. Many times the
student's health will crack under the strain of academic
and monetary pursuit. Secondly, the employer often with
his eye on greater profits, signs up collegians who for
a maximum of work receive a minimum of wage. Knowing
the collegian is usually desperate for salary, the merchants
will often offer him hard tasks and a niggardly compen-
sation.

Educators have all agreed that obtaining a com-
plete techno-cultural education is a man-sized job. Outside
work interferes with a student's eager quest for know-
ledge. It destroys a person's chances of acquiring a good
position with a firm when he graduates.

Our advice to freshmen and upperclassmen is,
unless you absolutely must work your way through col-
lege, don't do it. Employers will secretly label you, un-
skilled labor, and pay you wages ordinarily given to this

class.

TALK OP THE WEEK . By Arlene Phelps

THE ASCENDENCY OF ADOLPH HITLER

ENGLAND AND FRANCE are responsible for the
rise of Adolph Hitler. Only when nothing could be attained
through pious hopes in the League of Nations or faith in
the intentions of her enemies did prostrate Germany turn
to Der Fuehrer, It was the stupid attempt to crush Ger-
many and break her power forever that destroyed post-
war democracy in Germany and precipitated the rise of
the Nazi regime.

The intolerable conditions created by the Young
and Dawes plans, the mock heroics of the French-control-
led League of Nations, the false promises of the victors
to disarm, the great lie of Versailles — all were used to
load Hitler's propaganda machine in his rise to power.
With frenzied oratory he raised the passion of the people
to a white hot pitch over real or fancied injustices.

France after the war found herself in a position of
power she had not enjoyed since the days of Napoleon.
That superiority was entirely dependent on the weakness
of Germany; so it was France who originated the mad
scramble for territory and reparations. England partici-
pated in the lust for robbery fearing the additional power
that would go to France if she received all the spoils. A
powerful France was as much feared as a powerful Ger-
many. Thus England, too, helped pave the way for the
Nazi dictatorship.

The Weimar republic was an honest attempt at
democracy and, given a chance, it might have succeeded.
It was because of the inability of the Weimar Republic to
withstand the greedy demands of France and England that
the German people turned to Adolph Hitler. In their
stupid attempt to subjugate the German nation and break
its power forever, France and England have created a
Frankenstein that may well destroy them.
GRANDMOTHER MARIE

MOST AMERICANS are at a loss to understand
the violent wave of nationalism upon which Adolph Hitler
has risen to power. It is inconceivable to us why the Ger-
man should so violently despise the Jews, hate the Slavs,
and fear the Frenchman. In America all nationalities are,
for the most part, blended into one. The German, the
Englishman, the Frenchman become simply "Americans."

In the late nineteenth century grandmother Marie
Buelow crossed the Atlantic and left behind forever the
troubled countries of Europe. She became an American
and yet she never forgot she had been a German. With
infinite patience she sketched a picture of the Rhineland
and placed it on the wall of her bedroom. A constant re-
minder of Der Vaterland, it stayed there as long as she
lived.

Marie Buelow was an elderly lady of the "Laven-
dar and Old Lace" type when I heard her tell about the
struggle of the German people against the French. With
trembling voice she told how the irresistable legions of
Napoleon swept through the countryside burning the farm
houses, destroying the grain fields, slaughtering the pea-
sants, i

In France there are thousands of similar, lovely
old ladies who tell their grandchildren about the rapacity
of the German. Their voices tremble, too, when they re-
member how German shells have blackened the peaceful
countrysides of France. Like grandmother Marie they can
never forget the hell of flames and blood in which their
loved ones have Derished.

It is this fundamental hatred of foreign races that
Hitler harped upon in his rise to power. The fact that
England, France, and the Jews were taking advantage of
the weakened condition of Germany put strength into his
campaign. He cast the hypnotic spell of his oratory over
his hearers by capitalizing on the attempts of their enemies
to break the German nation and ruin its power forever.
DEUTSCHLAND UEBER ALLES

LAST FALL I met Otto Jung, German immigrant,
who became an American in 1925. Jung lived in Germany
under the Kaiser and has first-hand knowledge of con-
ditions as they existed then. In the summer of 1936, during
a visit to the homeland, he saw things as they are under
Hitler. Jung came away convinced that never before in
history has Germany been so powerful.

Under the Nazi regime the German people have
for the first time become united. The imperial German gov-
ernment of the Kaiser was never more than a confederation
of sovereign states. But today a centralized federal gov-
ernment has taken over the powers of the states and the
confederation is no more. The citizen who lives in Munich
is no longer a "Bavarian" but a "German."

The importance of this change cannot be under-
estimated. Discord between North and South Germany,
fomented by Allied propaganda, was one of the chief
causes for the 1918 German revolution which ended the
war. But now, with this barrier removed, the German
people are one and will fight more effectively than ever
before in the war to come.

Within three months the Garman armament pro-
gram will be complete and Hitler will be ready for the most
important move of his career in international politics.

No one knows in just what direction that step
will be taken. Some say Hitler will seize Danzig; others
say he will try Anchluss with Austria; a few think hell
go so far as to invade Czechoslavakia and seize the much
cherished Bohemia. At any rate Hitler will be careful, for
he knows the mistakes the Kaiser made. He has sworn
not to make those mistakes, and he won't. He will make
his own.

mosphere that they have created still
lingers over the college. Much good
has been accomplished and many bless-
ings have been bestowed upon those
who availed themselves of the op-

Bates Fund ...Rev. William H. Bates,
D.D., recently of Washington, D.C.
has long been a friend of the college.
On July 28, 1816, he made a contri-
bution of $670 to establish a fund to be
kept in perpetuity by the directors and
to be known as the William H. Bates
Oratorical Prize foundation, the income
alone to be used for a prize in an
oratorical contest to be entered by

students of the senior class.

THOMAS CONCERT

(Continued From Page One)
grand opera, however, was almost as
much a matter of chance as the flip
of the coin incident.

Thomas was dining in Paris with a
friend one day when it was suggested
that he make an audition at the Royal
Opera in Brussels. It seems that his
teacher had a friend in Brussels, who
had a friend in the opera house, who
had a friend in the boxoffice, who knew
one of the 'chefs de chant' who heard
him sing and took him before the
higher powers for an audition. The
young singer knew several opera arias,
and after he had sung the "Brindisi"
from Hamlet, "Eri Tu" from the Mask-
ed Ball, and "Vision Fugitive" from
Herodiade, he was offered a contract.

Then followed a stream of successes
and advancements. In 1925 the Royal
Opera, Brussels; in 1928, Covent Gar-
den, London; 1929-30, the Philadel-
phia Grand Opera, the San Francisco
and the Chicago Civic Opera. And in
February 1934, the final triumph, he
made his debut at the Metropolitan
singing the elder Germont, in "La
Travita." He has been at the Metro-
politan each season since.

Thomas' chief means of recreation
is in the sporting world. He owns an
85 foot yacht which he calls his
"home." Strapped to the deck of "The
Masquerader" he carries an 18 foot
Chris Craft racer. This is "Myne!" Mr.
Thomas' pet toy which he hopes to
drive to the national championship
next season, and which, judging from
his performances of this past year,
he stands a good chance to do.

Mr. Thomas also enjoys a good game
of golf. He calls 1924 a great year in
his life, for he married and broke 90
on a Florida golf course.

COACHING CLINIC

Chuck Taylor, a nationally known
sports authority, recently conducted a
"basketball clinic" at Appalachian State
Teachers college. The clinic included
a sound film illustrating the funda-
mentals of basketball, and a personal
demonstration of these fundamentals by
Mr. Taylor. Outstanding coaches from
several large universities took part in
the film. The clinic is known as a
"basketball coaching school deluxe."

GULLIBLE SENIORS

Students at the Syracuse university
School of Journalism passed around a
petition as a "gullibility test." The
paper began as a proposal to eliminate
final exams for seniors, but ended
with "They'll sign anything." 115 un-
suspecting but zealous seniors signed
the petition.

SWEET AND SLOW

The dietician at St. John's college,
Maryland, has installed a radio in the
college dining hall. She times in slow
music in order to induce the students
to eat more slowly.

INDIFFERENCE

An editorial in the Nocatula of Ten-
nessee Wesleyan college remarks 6n
the spirit of indifference prevailing
among the students. According to the
editorial, they are indifferent to studies*
to regulations, and to student relation-
ships. The writer suggests that students
should face the question, "Why am I
here?"

FACULTY DANCE

The faculty of State Teachers col-
lege at Memphis held a banquet last
Tuesday evening. After the banquet
the members of the faculty danced and
played bridge.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 12, 1938

FULL HAND?

Among the sports oddities that ccme to mind this
week is the trick of fortune that brought three athletic
Bairds to the Highland arena this year. You might look
long before encountering a parallel to this brother act
which promises so much for Scot teams in the near future.

Weldon, the junior, a star trackman and hoop
artist, holds the college record for the quarter mile run
and has rated a regular position on the hardwood squad
since his freshman year. He won his spurs in a torrid
contest with Cullowee Teachers in 1936, when he and
Howard Magill went in late in the game to pull the Scots
from a 12 point deficit to a 54-51 victory.

That game and the part those two frosh played
fn it will not be soon forgotten by those who saw it.

Content, as a rule, to play second fiddle to run-
ning mate Magill in scoring, Baird always gets hot when
his pals need help. It was his pinch shooting that kept the
Scots in the game at Carson-Newman last year in the
scrap which decided the SMC title.

Brother Bill, the sophomore, is even more versa-
tile, adding football to a list of activities that keeps him
busy from September to May. After winning a letter on
the gridiron last fall Bill was knocked out of a semester of
college work by an injury received in an accident. This
year he is back for a fling on the cinder-path, where he
once set an Ohio record for the half mile. Ineligible for
loop competition in basketball, he will join Weldon and
Boydson on the court next year.

Boydson, the enthusiastic freshman member of
the fraternal trio, is an ace cog in the current cage team,
and showed prophetic flashes of ball-carrying wizardry
on the grid earlier this year. He too is heralded as a track
man par excellent, which will not make Coach Robert C.
Thrower at all unhappy.

It looks like a family affair, this Scot sports show.

OUT OF BOUNDS

On foreign fronts we notice that

John Lardner's column in a recent edition of a
Chattanooga paper contains a juicy bit of irony that
might seem funny to you. We like it anyway so here it is:

"About the time Thomas E. Dewey was the
scourge of the underworld, was trapping Dixie Davis in
Philadelphia, the Carnegie Foundation was completing
its painstaking case against your correspondent and other
hardened violaters of the intercollegiate code.

"Now the facts are out a promising chapel
bell-ringer cannot stick his head out of the window with-
out six college scouts grabbing him and subsisidizing the
stuffing out of him

"It is no secret that your correspondent was a
subsidized harmonica player at Harvard, and a good one,
for the better part of a year. Furthermore, for the last
few seasons, I have scouted high school and prep school
harmonica players for my alma mater in competition with
scouts from Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, the Big Ten,
and the Southwest Conference.

"There is no doubt whatever that harmonica
playing in American colleges today is crooked as Heck
(Mr. Lardner didn't say heck, but this is no place for
realism) "And so on —

WHAT, SO SOON AGAIN?

It won't be long now, it seems. The warming up activities of Donald
"Ace" Parker and Bill the Ripper Collins these past few warm days would
indicate that King Baseball is just around the corner, awaiting an opportunity
for the overthrow of usurpers Basketball and wrestling.

Ace and Rip are just two of the nine lettermen back from the 1936
Smoky Mountain title team, but their talented right arms are expected to spin
about two-thirds of the Scot win total this spring. With Ralph Ashby, the
original "Ole Left-hander," they fr""™~u
ed the backbone of a good pitching
corps last year.

Ashby, Lamar 'Toot" Blazer, and
Don Cross are the only men lost by
graduation from the team that won
every loop game but two.

The irrepressible Mr. Blazer, though
back in school this year, has already
played his allotted time on the hot
cgrner and will not be eligible to
whoop it up again for the Scot cause,
as he did so nobly in the past. "Toots"
readily confesses that he is "the first
man to make Mr. Hawn-aker's team
with his mouth." Be that as it may
"Toots" will be missed out there this
time. Blazerless baseball will be a
novelty to the current generation of
Highlanders.

The third base spot will be filled by
a new man this time, probably soph
Rusty Wicklund or freshman J. D.
Hughes.

Replacement for Don Cross at second
is another uncertain element. "Shorty"
Davis has the edge in the winter books.
Cross, incidentally, is back at Cordele
this season, where he expects to earn
a trial with the Atlanta Crackers
Southern Association team.

The infield veterans will be Lefty
Hernandez on first and Junior Odell
at short. Both can field with the best
In the SMC circuit, and Odell, especial-
ly, is wont to whale the cover off the
ball when in the mood. Little concern
will be felt over these two positions.

Chunkers Collins, Parker, Wilburn,
Copeland, et al, will be handled capably
by backstops Glen Evers and Al Bur-
rh, either of whom can make any team
in the loop. Burris may work in the
outfield again this year, in addition to j
occasional catching chores.

In a nutshell, the outlook is rosy in-
deed.

"We play Ohio U., Northern Illinois,
Kentucky Teachers, probably Roan-
oke and Richmond and Milligan,
Smoky Mountain runners-up," Mr.
Collins tells us. "If we take Milligan
the championship should be back again
this time."

Mr. Collins, incidentally, will herd
the newer ivory (diamonds in the
rough to you) onto the practice field
for a bit of pre-season activity in
about ten days.

"Got to get 'em ready for 25 games
in seven weeks," he says, a twinkle of
anticipation in his pitching eye.
Godspeed, gentlemen.

Highlanders' Smooth Play

Retains High Spot

In SMC Ranks

With little Howard Magill, flashy
Scottie forward showing the way, the
Highlanders defeated East Tennessee
Teachers in a Smoky Mountain Con-
ference game played last Monday
night, to the tune of 48-36.

Magill, who has been on the in-
jury list for the last four games, ap-
peared to be in top form, hitting the
hoop at all angles to lead in the scor-
ing with 23 points. White, Teacher's
sub, led in the scoring for E.T.T., mak-
ing a total of 9 points.

Maryville took the lead early in the
game and lost it only once after that.
Although hampered by the loss of
Dale Russell, able Scot center, who
injured his ankle in the Marshall game,
and was only able to be in the lineup
for a few minutes, Maryville easily
outclassed the Teachers.

Tonight the Highlanders will journey
to LMU, for another Conference game.
Though Maryville has already defeated
the LMU quintet once, the Scots al-
ways find it tough going on the Rail-
splitter's home floor. So despite all
pre-game dope, anything can happen.

REMEMBER?

WHLN RA55LER5 WRE5TLE.D

Yes, there was a day .... 'twas riot
ever thus. There is a time within the
memory of even the younger inhabi-
tants when Maryville's rasslers really
rassled.

Why, I remember only a few short
years ago our Scotties were champions
of the state and the toast of all the
region round about. Sort of a golden
age, it was, when the men of Thrower
reigned supreme in the grunt realm.
Eight years it lasted, and then, pouff!
no more. A one-point loss to a team
that in the past had fallen 14 times
before the power of the Highlanders;
a two-point defeat by a Vanderbilt
team that had never won a meet from
Maryville in eight years; decisive wins
by Carolina teams superior in man
power and experience — these things
ended what had been an almost end-
less string of victories up to this sea-
son.

Just in case some of the more re-
cent additions to Scot fandom are in-
clined to gripe, we revive a few per-
tinent facts which may help tide us
over the lean years:

Maryville wrestling began when Far-
mer Watkins, just starting his college
work here, introduced the sport in
1927.

In the period immediately following,
the Watkins-coached teams met most
of the amateurs organizations of this
section. These included colleges, uni-
versities, high schools, and YMCA's.
The Knoxville and Chattanooga Ys
furnished the bulk of the competition
during this time.

It is with the second part of Mary-
ville wrestling history that the avail-
able records deal. This era began in
1931, when Watkins was succceeded
by the present coach, Bob Thrower.
From that time until this year the Scot
grunters won 37, lost five, and tied
two, giving them one of the most en-
viable records possessed by any col-
lege team.

After 29 straight wins they finally
suffered their first loss in 1935, at the
hands of the aforementioned Farmer
Watkins, whose Appalachian State
Teachers then became the first to down
the flying Scots. Since that time the

Scribe Digs Into
Court Statistics
For Space Filler

With fourteen games played so far
in the Scottie cage schedule, by look-
ing over the score book we find that
the Highlanders have amassed a total
of 567 points to their opponents 535.
Another interesting fact we found was
that Maryville is a first half team,
scoring most of their points in the
first half, and also out-scoring their
opponents in the first half. In the 14
games Maryville has scored 290 points
to their opponents 242 in the first half.
Well, that part wasn't so bad, but then
we found that in the second half Mary-
ville didn't seem to fare so well. Not
only did she score less in the second
half than in the first, but she was also
outscored by her opponents in that
part of the game. Maryville managed to
hit the hoop for 277 points to the 293
points of their opponents. Another in-
teresting figure is that the average
number of points per game for Mary-
ville is 40.5, to their opponents 38.2. In
the fourteen games played so far
Maryville has lost five, two of these
being Smoky Mountain Conference
games. One of the non- conference
losses we suffered was due to the hands
of that famous Marshall quintet, the

day. But what do I believe about God?
First, I believo that God is. We must
be far more credulous to believe that
chance circumstances produced the
world from the 92 elements than to
believe in God the Creator. And I be-
lieve that God is good, because he is
a loving God. Because he loves us he
is interested in us. Therefore, we can
talk to him, and get his help. God cares
about the things which matter to our
souls and characters. He does for us
what we need to have done. Happiness
is not won by finding a lot of things to
serve us, but by finding something for
us to serve.

Wednesday Evening
How Can I Tell If I Am A Christian?
What are the earmarks of a Christian?
Not merely faith, but the right kind of
faith is necessary. Christian faith is
the medicine by which the diseases
of sin can be healed. The vital factor
is that we must have standards for
personal living that are higher than
anything we ourselves can achieve. We
must give our lives for something
that we by ourselves cannot attain.
And God will give us the power to live
better than we ourselves know how.

To save ourselves we must save
others. Not only personal standards,
but standards for the world, must be
higher than we by ourselves can
achieve. God will give us the power.
Thursday Morning
What Do I Believe About The Bible?
Though other books die, the Bible has
lived and will live because it has more
to give. It is the richest book there is
in every type of literature — a store-
house of the finest ideas and noblest
ideals, expressed in the finest fashion.
It is the only book which is the out-
growth of the spiritual growth of a
people — the source book of the best
spiritual aspirations. It is the Word of
God— the timeless, always true, re-
gardless of economic, political or
scientific changes. It can satisfy our
needs if we will let it.

Thursday Evening
What Are the Resources for Living?
What resources had Jesus? Certainly
not economic security, and economic
security isn't enough for us. We need
inner resources to give us a sense of
balance in a rocky world. Worldy suc-
cess and acclaim are not enough. Jesus
was thwarted throughout his life — he
wasn't successful in a worldly sense.
Honor and prestige will not suffice.
Neither can "being understood" satis-
fy us. Jesus was misunderstood by
everyone, yet he had sufficient re-
sources for living. What had Jesus? He
had inner rather than outer resources.
It is more important to be something
than only to do something. Jesus lived
in the right relationship with God, and
was able to stand fast and sure. Get
right with God, and no matter what
happens, we will be happy, whether
we live or die.

Friday Morning
My Confession of Faith About
Prayer. The longer I live the more I
believe in the reality of prayer, and
that prayer works. But how does pray-
er work? Prayer is like the cable of
a cable car; we must lay tight hold on
prayer in order to get the power from
God to pull us up the hills of life. It
is only when we go down hill or drift
along the level that we do not need
prayer. Not only can prayer pull us up
hills, but we can take others with us.
Prayer begins with an attitude — we
must recognize that there is power
available. We need an attitude of de-
pendence, of expectancy, and of will-
ingness to respond. But prayer is more
than an attitude. A true expression of
our attitude is essential. What we give
outward expression to in prayer must
be a true expression of our heart's de-
sire. Then, too, achievement is neces-
sary— the way to learn to pray is to
pray. The teachings of Jesus alone can't
save the world; we need to get his
power to make those teachings effective.
We must lay hold upon the power of
God through prayer. We have not yet
begun to discover the resources for
living that are available through
prayer.

Dr. Wilson

(Continued From Page One)
Anderson founded the college, it has
made its greatest growth under Dr.
Wilson."

In recognition of his contributions to
the development of the college, he has
been given several honorary degrees
at various times. From Maryville he has
the degreess of Doctor of Divinity and
Doctor of Letters. This latter degree
was given on the day President Lloyd
was inaugurated as his first act as
president, and came as a complete sur-
prise to Dr. Wilson. He holds also the
degree of Doctor of Laws from the
College of Wooster, in Ohio.

Records of the college in an interest-
ing form have come from the pen of
Dr. Wilson. At the request of the col-
lege directors in 1916 he wrote "A
Century of Maryville College: — A Story
of Altruism." This history of the col-
lege has influenced many people to be-
come interested in Maryville, princi-
pally Dr. William P. Stevenson, college
pastor. In 1935 he added six chapters
to the original work, entitled "Chron-
icles of Maryville College." Others of
his works in connection with Maryville
history are several biographies of col-
lege figures, including the founder, Dr.
Isaac Anderson, Prof. Thomas Jefferson
Lamar, and Dr. H. G. Hutchinson. In
1934 he wrote "Our Foreign Legion,"
the account of those Maryville students
who were in the mission field. "The
Southern Mountaineers," which he
wrote in 1906, is one of the best works
in its field.

Dr. and Mrs. Wilson have had six
children and all are living. At her
death last spring, Mrs. Wilson was
visiting her son who is an engineer
in California. Miss Lois Wilson is
principal of a girl's school in Sidon,
Syria, another daughter is a missionary
to the Mexican Indians in El Paso, Tex.,
and another, with whom Dr. Wilson
makes his home, lives in Maryville. The
fourth daughter is a missionary with|
her husband to the Dakota Indians,
and the other son lives in Florida.

Dr. Clifford E. Barbour, leader of the

Second Presbyterian Church of Knox-
ville.

In spite of a comparatively small at-
tendance, the senior party last Sat-
urday evening was a singularly enjoy-
able event.

After a few games in Barlett gym
the party was divided into three
groups, each of which was directed by
successively discovered, ambiguous
notes through various routes over the
campus toward a treasure hidden in
the Y.W. room. There Lee Whetstone,
Frances Perrin, and Anne Raper serv-
ed refreshments.

REMEMBER?

(Continued from page three)
Teachers have been bad medicine in
large quantities, winning three times
thus far.

In the seven year ppriod from 1931
through 1937 Maryville has beaten
Knoxville Y fourteen times, Chatta-
nooga Y nine times, Tennessee seven
times, Vanderbilt three times, Appa-
lachian three times, Highpoint Col-
lege once, and Knoxville High once.

They had lost to Appalachian three
times and to Davidson once. The lone
ties are with Vanderbilt in 1934 and
with Tennessee last year. They had
never lost to any team in Tennesee
until this season. Might be worse, don't
you think? Or do you?

Pressed to name an outstanding in-
dividual star of the victorious years,
one might find it hard to choose be-
tween Buck Millsaps, 175 pound ace of
two years ago, whose only loss came
in the last match of his fourth cam-
paign, and Guy Propst, who came on
the scene three seasons ago and is still
very much in the picture.

The peak performances of the team
as a whole probably are these:

Scoring 172 points to the opposition's
19 in 1933; taking 35-5 and 33-3 vic-
tories from U-T and shellacking Vandy
40-0 in 1934; winning 26-6 from Ten-
nessee in 1936; and maintaining tight
hold on the mythical state title for
eight years in a row.

In view of which, think before you
beef.

Dr. F. A. Griffitts, professor of
Chemistry, recently published an
article in the "Journal of Physical
Chemistry" on the hydrogenation pro-
perties of mixed metal catalysts.

Representing the results of prelimi-
nary work to his thesis paper, the
article dealt with the factions involved
in controlling the excessive hydro-
genation property of metallic cobalt.
Dr. Griffitts discovered in his work
that the mixture of cobalt with various
metals, such as manganese, chromium,
and molybdenum, in the proper pro-
portions, produced the effect for which
he was searching; namely, the pro-
duction of aniline from nitrobenzene.

The article is the second of two
which Dr. Griffitts has published, the
first being on the catalytic activity of
cobalt sulfide.

Dr. Griffitts has received requests
from Germany and the University of
Denver for reprints of his articles.

Students And Faculty Members Favor
Proposed Optional Class Attendance

Echo Poll Shows 487 Students Welcome Plan With Only

76 Against It; Faculty Votes Two To

One For Senior Option

Maryville students and faculty members, in a poll conducted this
week by Echo reporters, showed themselves in favor of the plan for optional
class attendance for seniors as suggested in last week's Highland Echo.

487 students voted for the plan, with only 76 voting against it. Eighteen
more voted for the option, but with certain restrictions. Only 13 were either in-
different or undecided.

Of the faculty, 12 voted in favor of the system, five voted against it,
and six declined to make any statement. Most of hte faculty who voted for the
system did so with the restriction that the option be given only those with an
average of C or above.

The vote was not given to instructors in music and dramatic art,
where there is much individual instruction, and in physical education, where

seniors should have a C average; that
some modification of the plan be given
to the juniors; that the option be for

all students, except freshmen, making
the honor roll.

Most of the students felt that seniors
should be given more privileges; that
classroom attendance would not be
greatly affected; that the courses would
be made more interesting; and that
the regular examinations, with the
comprehensives, would serve as a
check against any overcutting of the
classes.

About the only specification offered
by the faculty members with any de-
gree of frequency was that seniors
should have an average of C or above.
Several stated it would be up to the
seniors to meet their responsibility.

Freshman Debaters To
Hold First Meet With
Auburn On February 21

The freshman debate team will parti-
cipate in its first debate of the season
Wednesday, February 23, with Ala-
bama Polytechinc Institute, better
known as Auburn University. This
subject will be debated: Resolved, that
the Southern states should adopt uni-
cameral legislatures. Maryville will up-
hold the affirmative side of the question
and will be represented by George D.
Webster and Tommy Woolf .

The climax of the freshman debate
activities will be the freshman tourna-
ment to be held at Maryville March
25 and 26. At least five other colleges
from various parts of the state will
participate in this tournament. Middle
Tennessee Teachers college at Mur-
freesboro, Tennessee, is the latest addi-
tion to the list of participating schools.

The first meeting of the debate team
since the tryouts was held in Professor
Verton M. Queener's classroom Thurs-
day evening.

Wednesday morning the last service
of the 1938 February meetings was
held in Voorhees chapel. Dr. Clifford E.
Barbour, leader of the services this
year, returned to the regular duties of
his church, the Second Presbyterian
church of Knoxville, and Rev. Sidney
E. Stringham went back to the Epworth
M.E. church of St. Louis.

Following are summaries of the last
eight of the sermons preached by Dr.
Barbour in the college chapel:
Friday Evening
Making the Minimum Do. Most of us
try to get away with doing as little as
we can in religion. We give most of
our time, energy and capacity to the
things we say are secondary; and we
give the least to what we say are of
primary importance. We don't act ac-
cording to our ideals. Only when we
give the maximum to religion can re-
ligion mean the most to us.
Saturday Morning
What I Believe About Immortality.
The people who live only for earthly
things haven't really done much for
this earth. Those who are doing the
most for the world are the people who
believe in the next world. But why do
I believe in immortality? First, be-
cause immortality is the only satisfac-
tory explanation about man's nature.
Second, because immortality answers
the questions regarding the nature of
God. Third, Christ gave evidence of
immortality, by his resurrection from
the dead. Let's not spend our lives and
energies on a few cents worth of
chemicals; let's begin now to live im-
mortality.

Sunday Evening
Christianity is the Satisf«£cao:> *Ahs^
wer to Man's Needs. Only Christianity
satisfies these three demands of men's
spirits; first, a satisfactory moral code;
second, a solution to the problem of
existence; third, discovery of a way to

Celebrated American Baritone To

Appear On Artist Series Monday

JOHN CHARLES THOMAS

John Charles Thomas, radio and con-
cert artist, and leading baritone of the
Metropolitan opera, will appear on the
final number of the Artist series, Mon-
day evening in Voorhees chapel.
Thonuis is probably the most popular
single figure in American music today.
He was born in Meyersdale, Penn-
sylvania, of a musical family, and his
earliest experiences in the art which
was later to bring him fame, was sing-
ing in a camp-meeting trio, of which
his father and mother formed the
other membership. His father's preach-
ing necessitated continued traveling, so
John Charles' only education was ob-
tain* d in the short periods at which he
remained in one place long enough to
go to school. Natural ability and active
inteiest helped him overcome this
hancicap, and he distinguished himself
in preparatory school, where he first
kbsajjS^jnwriiStd in the study of medi-
cine.
For a time it looked as if medicine

were to be his career, and he enrolled
in the Mount Street College of Homeo-
pathy in Baltimore. Shortly after, he
won a scholarship to the famous Pea-
body Conservatory of Music, where he
studied for three years. His work was
church music, about which he say; "I
believe that the singing of church
music should be a part of every sing-
ers' experience. It will unquestionably
give him a fine, feeling for Legato and
sustained tone."

Thomas made his professional de-
but in London, Ontario in 1912, after
which followed several years of out-
standing success in the fild of light
opera. In 1924 he appeared in "Aida"
in Washington and began an uninter-
rupted rise to fame in grand opera.

During the next ten years he sang
successively in the Royal Opera, Brus-
sells; Covent Garden, London; The
Philadelphia Grand Opera; and the
San Francisco Opera, and the Chicago
Civic Opera. In February, 1934, as the

crowning achievement of the success-
ful artist, he sang the role of the elder
Germont in "La Traviata" at the Met-
ropolitan Opera House. He has been
with the Metropolitan every season
since.

Thomas is an enthusiastic boatman
and spends all of his vacations on his
85 foot yacht. In addition he enters his
racing hydroplane in most of the east-
ern meets, and has himself established
a trophy for the 225 cubic inch class
of speed boats. On land his favorite
out-door activity is golf, in which he
breaks eighty consistently. His interests
are wide and he leads an active and
varied life.

Writer Discovers Art Gallery

Ruth Woods Has
'Iolanthe" Role In
Opera March 17

Gilbert— Sullivan Fantasy

Produced By Combined

Glee Clubs

In following our studious course
toward an education it is surprising
how often we neglect to investigate
our opportunities to become familiar
with the cultural beauty that is in
our own back door. Maryville college
has an art gallery, as most of us pro-
bably suspect by having read the sign
at the bottom of the stairs in Anderson
annex, but, according to Marie Jensen,
one of the attendants, very few of us
have taken the time to see if there are
really pictures in the room toward
which the arrow points.

The gallery contains 225 pictures
painted by Mrs. Elizabeth Gowdy
Baker. This collection was given to
the college by Mrs. Baker's husband,
H. D. Baker who died last year.

Mrs. Baker was an eminent portrait
painter. Her work is known and ad-
mired in both America and Europe.
There are forty impressive portraits
in the collection, which also contains
185 landscapes and marines painted by
Mrs. Baker during her European and
American tours. Most of the portraits
were painted in her New York studio
where she established an enviable
reputation as an artist.

Among her outstanding paintings is
a portrait of her four-year old son
which is the first life-sized picture to
be painted entirely in aquarelle. The
portraits of Edwin Markham, American
post and Jamas J. Hill, northwestern

railroad promoter, are exemplary of
her ability to portray real life-like
personality in her portraits.

Among the paintings done while Mrs.
Baker was abroad is a picture of the
Cellers, Julius Caesar's home in Rome.
There is also a painting of the ancient
Alhambra, the historic old Spanish
castle recently destroyed in Spain's
civil war.

Over the glass case containing the
artist's palettes, which are still stained
with the last paint mixed in them, is
a curious picture of a grass-roofed
house, painted extemporaneously by a
famous Japanese artist — I couldn't
translate his name — who came to Mrs.
Baker's studio to persuade her to come
to Japan. He is said to have painted
this picture with the floor of her studio
as his easel.

The art gallery is not large enough
to facilitate a complete display of the
whole collection. For this reason the
pictures must be alternated. In spite
of this inconvenience, the gallery is
very attractive. The indirect lighting
system is effective in giving the best
tone effects to all the paintings re-
gardless of their positions. A cata-
logue of the collection which will pro-
vide a description of each painting is
being prepared.

The art department has recently
joined the American Art Federation
which furnishes traveling exhibitions,
to be displayed periodically.

The combined Glee clubs of the Col-
lege will again put on a Gilbert and
Sullivan opera under the direction of
Professor Ralph Colbert on Thursday,
March 17. The opera this year will be
Iolanthe, one of the better known of
Gilbert and Sullivan's works.

The completed cast consists of the
following members: Iolanthe, Ruth
Woods; the fairy queen, Harriet Bar-
ber; Phyllis, Nancy Quinn; Celia, Eliza-
beth Ann Huddleston; Leila, Alice
Prime; Fleta, undecided; Lord Chan-
cellor, Edwin Goddard; Earl of Mount-
ararat, John Magill; Earl of Tolloller,
Carl Wells; Private Willis, Harry Fer-
ran; Strephon, Dick Woodring.

The story concerns a fairy, Iolanthe,
who commits a grave offense in the
fairy kingdom by marrying a mortal.
She is sentenced by the Queen to
penal servitude for life. After twenty-
five years spent at the bottom of the
stream among frogs, Iolanthe is par-
doned. She has had a son, Strephon,
by her marriage, and he is half mortal
and half a fairy. His body from the
waist up is fairy; while his legs are
mortal, and lead him into all kinds of
mischief.

He is in love with Phyllis, ward of
the Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chan-
cellor is against the marriage of the
two and does his best to prevent it.
Strephon is elected to Parliament and
carries every bill that comes before
him. After a series of events, in which
Iolanthe reveals a great secret, Phyllis
and Strephon are re-united and a new
law passed in the fairy kingdom which
makes every one happy again.

The leads will be assisted by a chorus
of 24 fairies and 24 Peers. The Col-
lege orchestra will accompany the
opera. The pianists will be Louise
Felknor and Gerald Beaver.

Staging will be under the direction of
Max Cornelius. Ellen Sauer will be In
charge of the costuming

"First Lady" To
Be Presented On
March 5, Voorhees

Gordan Bennett Takes Lead

After Revision Of

Male Roles

"First Lady," the Theta Epsilon-
Alpha Sig contribution to the annual
midwinter dramas, will be presented
to the Maryville audience on March 5
on the Voorhees stage with Gloria
Miller and Gordon Bennett taking the
leading parts. This play is a satire on
the federal government at Washington,
and is concerned with the rival inter-
ests of Lucy Chase Wayne, played by
Gloria Miller, and Irene Hibbard,
played by Irene Browder, in securing
for their husbands the presidential
nomination of the party.

Recently the male parts have been
reassigned because of the dropping
from the cast of the male lead, Bill
Swearingen. At present, Gordon Ben-
nett has been given the lead part of
Stephen Wayne; Bob Gillespie, the for-
mer part of Bennett, which is that of
Carter Hibbard; and Reese Scull has
been added to the cast in the part of
Ellsworth Ganning.

This play which is written by Kath-
erine Dayton and George S. Kaufman,
was produced in New York in 1935 by
Sam H. Harris, and has since been
acted on the screen by Kay Francis
and Preston Foster. The Theta-Alpha
Sig version is being directed by Mrs.
Nita Eckles West, associate professor
of dramatic art.

Women Entering Bates
Oratorical Contest To
Hold Meeting Monday

After chapel next Wednesday morn-
ing, there wUl be a meeting in Miss
Jessie' Johnson's class room of all
junior and senior women who are in-
terested in the Bates Oratorical con-
test.

The William H. Bates oratorical prize
was made possible by a contribution
of $1000 by the Rev. William H. Bates,
D.D. The annual income from this
fund is to be used as a prize in oratory,
the men of the junior and senior class-
es participating one year and the wo-
men of the junior and senior classes
the next.

This year the manucripts, written by
the students, are due the first Tuesday
in April, and the contest is to take place
during the first two weeks in May.

Senior Recommendation
Blanks Now Available

Blanks for registration with the Com-
mittee on Recommendations are on the
table in the Student Help office. No
charge is made for the services of the
committee if blanks are returned be-
fore March 1.

The Committee on Recommendations
is maintained by the college for the
purpose of assisting seniors and alumni
in securing positions. Recommendations
by members of the faculty are given
only through the committee.

It is to the interest of each senior
to register with the Committee on Re-
commendations, even though he does
not expect to use his recommendations
at this time. They will be compiled and
ready for use at any future time he
may need them.

Maryville Dean of Women
To Attend National Meet

Next Tuesday, Feb. 22, Mrs. Grace P.
Snyder, dean of women, will leave
Maryville to attend the annual con-
vention of the national association of
deans of women, which will be held
in Atlantic City. This convention will
be held conjointly with the meeting of
the American Council of Guidance and
Personnel association.

The convention will be over Feb. 26
and Mrs, Snyder will go to Baltimore
to spend Sunday as the guest of a life-,
long friend, Miss Edith Johnson. She
will return to Maryville February 28.

Maybe It's Just A Blind

Question: What have we here?

Answer: We have the office of the
Chilhowean.

Q.: What happens in the office of
the Chilhowean?

A.: Oh, lots of things. English history
is studied, debate speeches are prac-
ticed, coffee and toast are made and
eaten (drunk), social gatherings occur,
lost sleep is caught up with "

Q.: My, my! One doen't realize the
various angles connected with editing
of a year book does one? Who b edi-
tor of the Chilhowean?

A.: Everyone denies the accusation,
but Fred Bruce Morgan is most often
found asleep in the office; so the evi-
dence points strongly to him.

Q.: Has anything peculiar been
noticed about the office recently? I
mean even more peculiar than usual?

A.: Yes. It is almost clean.

Q.: What produced the sudden clean-
up campaign?

A.: Well, it was a question of either
plowing out some of the waste paper,
dust and pop bottles or moving the
editors desk and chair out on the
porch. The rubbish got so deep that
at the last staff meeting everyone was
waiting for everyone else to come — not
until someone sneezed did each realize
that there were half a dozen other per-
sons in the office.

Q.: What are those strips of violently
hued substance which are at present
tacked on the Chilhowean office win-
dows?

A.: You guess.

Q.: Maybe they are a part of Mor-
gan's policy of scaring off pesty book
salesmen, inquisitive dormitory matrons
or affectionate couples seeking a quiet
haven?

A.: Nope.

Q.: Are they just a publicity stunt?

A.: Wrong again.

Q.: I give up.

A.: They are curtains.

Q.: What! Who made them?

A.: Arlene Phelps, doing her bit
for the Chilhowean-Office-More-Beau-
tiful cause.

Q.: Is Arlne blind?

A.: No.

Q.: Deaf?

A.: No.

Q.: Addicted to nightmares?

A.: No.

Q.: Then why those weird, out-
landish excuses for curtains?

A.: Arlene was merely trying to pat-
tern the curtains after the Chilhowean
editor — part of the plan to have every-
thing in the office harmonize.

Q.: Did she succeed?

A: She did!

OPTIONAL SENIOR
CLASS ATTENDANCE

The Highland Echo carefully weighed the possi-
bilities of the chances of success or failure for the plan
of optional class attendance for seniors before it proposed
that the plan be adopted at Maryville college.

The conclusion we reached was that the plan was
educationally sound and desirable. Results of the poll
taken this week by Echo reporters show that an overwhel-
ing majority of both students and faculty feel as we do.

Had our proposal been greeted with distrust or
indifference we would have discontinued our efforts to
obtain optional class attendance for seniors at once. On the
contrary we found that many had wanted the system for
some time.

Concerning the plan we believe that it would

(1) promote and stimulate individual scholarship;

(2) help bridge the gap between the senior year and
after-graduation days;

(3) cause a more interesting presentation of classroom
material.

(4) increase student responsibility and initiative;

(5) work successfully at Maryville college.
Together with the findings of our poll, we re-
spectfully submit our reasons for favoring the plan of
optional class attendance for seniors, suggesting that the
plan be carefully considered and adopted at Maryville.

O

McINTYRE'S NEW YORK
IS GONE

In a few short weeks we will be turning through
the pages of our morning newspaper in vain attempt to
I5nd "New York Day by Day," the whimsical collection of
chance thought which 0. O. Mdntyre has presented daily
to the public for so many years.

Affected though his reminiscences may have been,
they hit a spot in the hearts of the average reader that no
other Broadway columnist could touch. Odd's boyhood re-
collections brought a response in the dullest of us.

We will miss him.

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON

LAST WEEK there was inserted at the foot of this
column a note stating the obvious fact that the opinions
expressed herein "are those of the columnist, and do not
necessarily express the views of any other member of the
staff." The columnist neither expects nor desires everyone
to agree with him. If all did agree, there would be little
purpose in the column.

The fact of the matter is, the columnist not only
welcomes but solicits contrary opinion. Any disagreeing
view will be printed in this space without comment on
the week following the column on which that disagreement
is based.

The rules of the game are few. Just sign the article
and slide it across our "10 by 10 oriental" before Tuesday
evening of the week it is to be printed.

As for style, the contributor is asked to be brief,

concise, and to the point. If he so desires, he may abuse,

reproach, or wax sarcastic; he can, in other words, get

just as nasty he darn pleases. Anything that passes the

eagle eye of the censor will get by this columnist's desk.

ON THE CAMPUS

RATHER DISGUSTING was the manner in which
several individuals broke line Monday in order to get the
best Lyceum tickets. The sale was announced for 4:15,
and those who were "smart" arrived at 3:30 only to find
a solid line stretching around the four walls. The afore-
mentioned individuals couldn't stand the gaff and crowded
ahead of persons who had been waiting patiently for an
hour or more.

Rather illuminating, too, was the fact that most of
the line crashers were campus leaders (so called). There
were numbered among the group two class presidents, a
Theta Alpha Phi president, an Echo Associate editor, and
several ministerials (so called).

If only ten other persons had openly yielded to
the animal instinct at the same time these individuals were
pulling their fast one, the result might have been a riot.
There were, as had been announced, only a limited num-
ber of good seats left. Everyone was eager to get such a
seat, and a good many were skeptical about getting a seat
anywhere in the hall.

Yes, conscience forces a confession. The columnist
has crashed the line once himself this year. But never

again. He doesn't like the company.

FLOWERS THIS WEEK go to Editor Hunt for his
optional-class attendance-for-seniors campaign. The plan
would obviously be impracticable for lower classmen with
their "high school hangovers," but for seniors, and per-
haps juniors, it has its marks.

The students, however, must take the con-
sequences. They must not expect the instructors to go to
extra trouble over class assignments and the scheduling
of tests. If they get the advantage of the option, they must
take squarely on their own shoulders the responsibility

that goes with it.

ONE STEP NEARER * 4k~*> +

THE WORLD is one step nearer the war to come,
this week, after the Japanese refusal to grant identical
American and British requests for details concerning its
naval program. The Nipponese thus removed the last
check on what may prove to be a disastrous naval arma-
ment race. The possibility of that race became apparent
in 1936 when Tokio denounced the London Treaty which
refused her naval parity with the United States and Great
Britain. |

The requests were made to fulfill requirements of
the 1936 London Naval Treaty between Great Britain,
France, and the U.S. The signers are bound by this treaty
to go through the formality of asking a non-signer if it
has exceeded the 35,000 capital ship limit before they can
take steps to match or better it. Thus Japan by her re-
fusal has removed one of the last possibilities of. arms
limitations.

Insight is scarcely needed to foretell the eventual
effect of this armament race. Very soon citizens will begin
to complain bitterly about added strain on the nation's
resources. The propaganda machines will once again swing
into full action. The country will be on its way to war.

No one has ever expressed it better than did Mark
Twain in 1898. "The loud little handful— as usual— will
shout for war. The pulpit will— warily and cautiously—
object— at first; the great big dull bulk of the nation will
rub its sleepy eyes and try to make out why there should
be a war, and will say, earnestly and indignantly, 'It's un-
just and dishonorable and there is no necessity for it.'
Then the handful will shout louder — And now the whole
nation— pulpit and all— will take up the war cry, and shout
itself hoarse, and mob any honest man who ventures to
open his mouth; and presently such mouths will cease to
open.

"Next, the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting
the blame on the nation that is attacked, and every man
will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and
will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any re-
futations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
himself the war is just, and will thank God for the better
sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-decep-
tion." , I .'

and your writer was nodding sleepily
oxgrjus mahogony desk in the Echo
office. Suddenly the door opened, and
in stole a tiny tot, chubby-faced and
scantily attired for a February night.
In one hand he clutched a bow, while
from his shoulder hung a quiver of
arrows.

"Cupid's the name— Dan Cupid," he
volunteered.

"How do you do," answered the
writer. "But why are you wandering
about the campus at this time of the
night? You should be in bed?"

Dan's face clouded. Tin having a
tough time these days. Nobody wants
me anymore. The mad machine age has
caught up with my racket finally, and
I'm being crowded out. Nowadays love
is a highly mechanized affair, carried
out strictly by scientific methods. First
you get yourself a thorough mental
examination, and get put, say, into
classification BQ7X. Then you get up
early next morning, take your stub
number BQ7X and start looking for
a girl with the same number. When you
find one, you marry her. Cold, scienti-
fic, canned romance, such as this, is
ruining my business. I haven't had a
new suit of clothes for days. Oh, for
the good old times, when senators'
daughters fell in love with blacksmiths,
and millionaires' sons eloped with five-
and-ten-cent store girls. Then I often
worked 18 hours a day, and the money
rolled in. But now all I have to live
on is the fee I get from the candy
makers and florists who use my picture
in their ads on Valentine's day. In-
stead of a girl looking dreamily into
a boy's eyes and asking if he loves her,
she instead looks up his I.Q. score and
asks him if he's an introvert. The world
has lost its sense of beauty and love.
Is it any wonder I'm down and out
and lonely?"

The writer pitied the poor little fel-
low, and said, "Dan, what you need
is a little wife to comfort you."

"That's what the psychiatrist told me
when he examined me," answered Dan,
even more despondently. "And he gave
me a prescription for a wife. But Tve
looked everywhere and can't find a girl
with my number."

And Dan Cupid slowly backed out
of the door, leaving the writer to get
down once more to hard w-z-z-zzzz.

SWAN SONG FOR DEBATE

An article in the University Echo,
from the University of Chattanooga,
contends that debate subjects become
more abstract and dull every year. The
writer says that surely debate material
can be found which will provide popu-
lar interest for the "hoi polloL" He be-
leives that popular interest waned when
debate subjects began to center around
"institutions of an economic world."
The article warns, "unless the two
factions — debater and debategoer — can
achieve some mutual satisfaction de-
bating may start wandering lonely as
a cloud, and stop where all good pur-
suits go when they die."

In the interests of debating and be-
cause of a neighborly feeling, we would
suggest the following proposition for
next year's Pi Kappa Delta debate
question. We fondly hope that it will
console the writer from Chattanooga
and his cohorts (if any). Resolved;
That the Duck never should have was,
and even if he ain't, he were.

AURORA BOREALIS

Students at Lenoir Rhyne recently
witnessed the Aurora Borealis or Nor-
thern Lights. "There appeared in the
north-east a vivid rose-colored glow
which covered approximately one-fifth
of the horizon and extended upward
into the center of the sky overhead."
The Lenoir Rhynean states that sever-
al students thought Gabriel was on his
way and swore never to touch another

TWO OF US

Two individuals named Kennon
Thetford attend the University of Ala-
bama. However, one is masculine and
a senior, while the other is feminine
and a freshman. They are cousins. The
masculine Thetford received a reser-
vation for a room in the co-ed dormi-
tory. But when he cut his French class
his co-ed cousin, who did not take the
course, was marked absent. They have
the same mailbox, and examine re-
turn addresses, handwriting, etc., to>
determine the proper owner.

RELIEF FOR BOTH OF US?

With a sigh of relief we turn this page over to
frosh co-workers Felknor and Steakly, pausing on the
way out only for brief mention of a few notable come-
backs, staged of late by Scot athletes.

First of all, and a rare treat indeed, is the cage
win over Carson-Newman, breaking a jinx of two years.
The manner in which it was accomplished, too, was satis-
fying, with the Scotties rising to a season scoring peak to
pile up fifty points on the Eagles. It was just as hard-
fought and- well played a scrap as Maryville — Carson-
Newman games of the past, and as cleanly played as any
we've seen.

Involved in the success of the basketball team
was also the uprising staged by James "cousin Joe" Ether-
edge. "Boll Weevil Joe," after seeing a good bit of action
last year, has been warming the bench in no uncertain
manner since reporting late in January. His four last-half
goals lifted his team out of a hole Wednesday night and
may be the force that will keep "Joe's" spot on the side-
lines vacant part of the time henceforth.

To further the revolutionary tendency, our grap-
plers pounced on Tennessee's hapless Vols for a top-heavy
win Thursday. It was the first triumph of the year, and
long overdue. Edgar Meares heralded a return to form
with an easy victory over his 145 pound opponent. The
boys have a chance to keep the ball rolling in a return en-
gagement with Knox Y here tonight

GREAT AMERICAN SPORTS

**%

Thank you Brother Byrne. With basketball,
wrestling, and aquatic sports out of the way, we never
have only left the little publicized pin-pong and billiards.
The YMCA is sponsoring tournaments for each of those
two great American sports. Right now the ping-pong
tournament is in the throes of the finals, between Kenneth
Van Cise and Stan Czepial. The pool tournament is in the
semi-finals and as yet there doesn't seem to be any favor-
ites on the scene of action. Well this seems to clean up
all the sports for the week at least we hope so.

Amid all the hubbub over the matriculation of
prep sensation Bill DeCorrevont at Northwestern, Red
Grange offers this sage bit of advice: "Graduation is a
particular milestone that I urge you to aim for — a mile-
stone very much worth obtaining ...

"Graduate."

Red, never having graduated, should know what
he's talking about.

, Fritz Crisler, after six years spent in lifting the
Princeton Tiger out of his coma, has signed as head coach
at the University of Michigan. That portends evil for rival
Big Ten coaches; football revivals seem to follow Crisler
around. He may find the going not so smooth, however,
in the entanglement of Michigan's jealous alumni and
officialdom.

The University of Tennessee wrestl-
ing team succumbed under the pres-
sure applied by the Scotty grapplers
last Thursday night in the Alumni
gym by the lopsided score of 27-3.

Starting with the 118 pound division
through the 175 pound class, the Mary-
ville squad kept a clean slate, scoring
27 points to the University's O. U.T.,
however, gained their lone decision in
the heavyweight bout, making the
score 27-3.

Phil Evaul began the attack by win-
ning a decision over McAlister of U.T.
in an exhibition match. Although
Evaul was outweighed 10 pounds, the
outcome of the match was quite ob-
vious before the first period was over.
Following closely bhind Evaul;
Mooney, Everett and Meares each gain-
ed a decision in his weight class. Each
of the matches was well fought by the
U-T representatives, but the Mary-
ville men outwrestled their opponents
from the start till the end.

Renfro, of Maryville, put on quite
an exhibition and came through to
pin Hatfield in 5:35. Renfro was in
seemingly excellent shape and took
Hatfield with comparative ease.

Hahn gained a decision over Free-
man of the University in the 165 pound
class. Hahn was on top most of the
time, and Freeman was all but pinned
more than once.

Propst came in for the high point of
the match to throw Smith of U-T in
4:45. Propst had it out all over the mat
before he was finally able to put the
"bee' on Smith. Smith was unquestion-
ably doing his best just to stay out of
Propst's way, but the Maryville star
eventually got hold of Smith and that
ended things pretty quickly.

Maryville did not drop a dcision till
the last match when Hayes of U-T was
given a decision over Fred Tulloch in
the heavyweight class.

Of Whipping

Maryville lost her third conference
game last Saturday night, when the
Scotties journeyed to LMU and were
defeated by the Railsplitters 41-49. The1
LMU quintet grabbed the lead early
in the game and the Scots were never
able to catch them. Holding a 13-32
point lead at the end of the first half,
the Railsplitters were able to coast to
a victory despite the efforts of the
Highlanders to overtake them.

Overton of Lincoln, and Magill of
Maryville shared the scoring honors,
each knocking the net for 16 points

The game tended to be a little on the
rough side, with 18 personal fouls cal-
led against Lincoln, and 19 personals
being called against the Highlanders.

The gridiron heroes have really something to

a new blocking and tackling "mushine" for the laddies to
do a wee bit o' practicing on the this spring. Aye 'Us tough
lads, but then its all in the spirit of things, and it wouldn't
probably do any harm to any of you. The machine is one
of the latest things out for this kind of work. It is of the
sled type, and it can be used to give the players practice in
all of the fundamental blocking and tackling plays. With
spring football starting, this machine will really have its
place in the sun, as our coaches plan to use it extensively
this spring and fall.

exhibition diving, a medly relay, and •
two novelty relays. I

Those swimming for Theta are Dot
Quass, June Myers, Kay McDonald,
Estelle Hayes, Arlene Phelps, Esther
Sommers, Ruth Woodside, and Kitty
Bennett.

Bainonian contestants are Mary Dar-
den, Harriet Miller, Jessie Curtis, Bar-
bara Sutton, Catherine Davidson, Janet
Tahnage, Frances Perrin, Sarah Botto,
Kitty Adams, and Louise Allen.

Kay McDonald is serving as captain
for her team, and Louise Allen for
hers.

This week the teams of the women's
point system for the speedball tourna-
ment have been chosen, and the first
tournament game will be played Tues-
day between the junior-senior and
freshmen teams. This game will be fol-
lowed on Thursday with the sophomore
team playing the freshmen.

The speedball teams are as follows:
Junior-senior

forwards— Pierce, Barnwell, Corey,
half-backs— Pond, Eddins, Sommers,
captain.

goal-keeper— Sheek, manager

Maryville's tankmen pushed the Tus-
culum mermen under last night in
Bartlett pool by the rather uneven
score of 50 to 24.

The Fischbach coached squad turned
in an excellent performance and at
least one college record fell during the
course of the events. Scotty swimmers
gained in the first event a decisive lead
which was never even threatened
throughout the meet. Maryville took
all but three firsts and even in these
events took second and third.

Rusty Wicklund and Paul Akana
tied for the number one scoring posi-
tion, each taking one first and one
second. Wicklund took first in the 200
yard free-style with the time of 2:28,
which betters the old college record by
three seconds. He also took second in
the 100 yard free-style.

Akana took his usual first in the
breast-stroke and also gained a sec-
ond in the 400 yard event.

Burt Chandler took first in diving
by a slim margin. Sayles of Tusculum
making the margin doubtful more than
once. Rippeth also took first in the 100
yard back-stroke.

Tusculum is the first school of equal
size that the Maryville squad has met,
and the relative strength may be judg-
ed from the more than double score.

O

Scot Grunters To Meet

Knoxville Y Wrestlers

Mrs. Hall reports an empty hospi-
tal this week since the dismissal of
Dorothy Armstrong last Saturday. Obie
Jenkins, one of our heavier wrestlers,
is able to be out again after an attack
of appendicitis.

In an important Smoky Mountain Conference game, the Highlanders
of Maryville decisively whipped their old rivals the Carson-Newman Eagles 50-
42. The rivalry between these two schools dates to way back, and every year
when these two schools meet there is always a little bit of the well-known flur
a'flyin'. The game played in the Alumni gym last Wednesday night, proved to
be no exception to the rule.

The game started off with Hawkins, Eagle forward, sinking a crip shot
for the first score of the game. They added another point to this when Magill
fouled Hamblen, who converted the free throw, giving C-N a three point lead.
Maryville, not to be outdone so early in the game, slipped a pass to Weldon
Baird under the basket, Baird sank the crip shot, and then Captain Odell sank
another, to give the Scotties the edge 4-3 with less than three minutes of the
game played.

. ^ With only the first part of the first

half played, Dale Russell was forced
out of the game, having been soaked
for four personal fouls. The score at
this early part of the game being 20-
15 in favor of Maryville. Handicapped
by the loss of one of her two six-
footers, Maryville was gradually edged
out by half-time 23-26, Carson-New-
man holding the well deserved four
point lead.

The second half began with Weldon
Baird, Jim Etheredge, Odell, and Magill
each sinking a field goal apiece for
eight straight points for Maryville, be-
fore the surprised Eagles could get
back into their first half form. Carson
Newman then hit the hoop for two
more points before flashy Howard Ma-
gill sank three fast crips for six points.
Maryville with a safe lead, then man-
aged to hold it the rest of the game,
the final score being 50-42.

The game was one of those fast scor-
ing affairs, and a high point game also.
This was the first game the Scotties
were able to break the half-century
mark in scoring. Little Howard Magill,
with his 19 points, was the real offen-
sive star of the game. Jim Etheredge,
a substitute for Maryville, deserves
credit for his coming in at a tough spot,
and then scoring 8 points as well as
playing a nice defensive game. Weldon
Baird and Boydson Baird, brothers of
the court, showed some of their really
fine passing in the second half, when
Boydson, freshman half of, the duo,
intercepted an Eagle pass and tossed
the ball to brother Weldon, who re-
turned the pass, and then received
another right back in position for a
perfect crip shot. Weldon Baird came1
second in scoring honors for Maryyifl*
with eleven points. Odell played his
usual bang-up game of basketball,
scoring 8 points, and playing a good
defensive game. Southpaw Hamblen,
Eagle guard, scored 12 points for sec-
ond honors for the evening. Carson-
Newman was really getting that ball
off the back board and getting several

more will be able to attend. The bell
for the meeting will be rung at 4:45.

Dr, Frank D. McClelland, director of
personnel, will preach at Vespers this
Sunday evening at 7:00. The subject
he has chosen is "Margin of Safety."

pie will act as master of ceremonies
|or a program which will feature Ralph
Reed and Sam Cornelius with their
trumpets; a vocal solo,, by Russell
Hirsch; and vocal renditions by the
quartet, John Magill, Carl Wells, Lloyd
Wells, and Donald McArthur.

Miss Edwina Lowe, graduate of the
Maryville college Expression depart-
ment, entertained several Maryville
college and University of Tennessee
students at her home with a Valentine
buffet' supper, carrying out the Val-

God. Over a radio, music is often not
given its true quality. The same is
sometimes the case with Christianity—
the fault lies not with the source, but
with the means of transmission.
Monday Morning

What I Believe About Jesus Christ.
Christianity is not a philosophy, an
organization, or a code of morals. It
has all these, but it is Jesus Christ.
What do I belive about Jesus? I be-
lieve that he is the Christ, the son of
the living God, and in Jesus I see God.
He is the only possible savior of the
world. Jesus helps us conserve what is
worth keeping in our lives, and helps
us lose from our lives that which we
must lose to save our lives. Seeing
Jesus on the cross is awful and ter-
rible, but it saves us — makes us new
persons. Whatever light there is in
Christianity, is there because of Jesus.
Monday Evening

The Intolerance of Christianity.
Christ's tolerance brought him criti-
cism in his day. Now the church is
criticized for intolerance. The church
must be intolerant to the things Christ
was intolerant to — to sin, to those
leaders who weren't helping the sinners
back to goodness, to filth and dirt; to
the trivial; to hypocrisy.

Tuesday Morning

What I Believe About Sin and Sal-
vation. We can't get rid of sin merely
by controlling heritage and environ-
ment. We have to conform to the law
of God, and set our lives in accordance
with the life of Jesus. We stand be-
tween the kingdom of animals and
the kingdom of God. The aiiimal king-
dom is self against all others; the king-
dom of God is self for the sake of
others. The choice lies with us, to
take either the animal kingdom or the
kingdom of God. To have the one we
must give up the other— sacrifices are
necessary. We must choose between
sin and salvation.

Tuesday Evening

Taking Christianity Into Everyday
Living. We too often seek the extra-
ordinary, the thrilling and exciting,
in religion. We don't take our religion
into the ordinary affairs of everyday
living. But religion won't cleanse us
unless we do carry it into our ordinary
activities. And God does his best work
slowly, but we too often want inpnedi-
ate transformation. Only by bringing
faith persistently into everyday living
can we and our world be transformed.
Wednesday Morning

Making the Most of Life. To make
the most of our lives we should have,
first, a worthy purpose to command
our lives — one built on an unselfish
motive, worthy of an eternal spirit. In
following that purpose, we must live
a life of purity. A noble goal cannot be
achieved by ignoble means. All the
while, we must keep our conscience
clear. Troubled conscience ruins per-
sonality. Then, too, we need a solid,
firm faith in ourselves, in others, and
in God. Faith is necessary to lift us
over the sandbars in life which can
wreck us.

Take-Off

Is

WAS BROADWAY HIT

Thursday evening at 8:15 in Voorhees
chapel the Theta Epsilon and Alpha
Sigma societies will present "First
Lady" by Katherine Dayton and
George Kaufman. This production will
be the first of the midwinters to be
given by the societies this season.

Gordon Bennett has a leading role
as Stephen Wayne. He has appeared
in various parts in several plays during
the past years. Some of these are "Peter
Ibetson," "Purple Mask," "Pride and
Prejudice," and "Craig's Wife." This
is the last time that Bennett will appear
on the Maryville stage this year.

As Lucy Chase Wayne, Gloria Mil-
ler will take the lead opposite Bennett.
She, too, is well known on the college
stage for her performances in "Peter
Ibetson," "Purple Mask", "Lady Wind-
mere's Fan," and "Craig's Wife." She
gives readings and recently won honors
for reading poetry in a contest at Vir-
ginia Intermont.

Irene Browder as Irene Hibbard,
Muriel Mann as Mrs. Creevy, and
Robert Gillespie as Carter Hibbard,
compose the principal characters in the
supporting cast.
Reveals Inside Of Capitol

Dramatic interest is supplied by
Bruce Walters, as Senator Keene, the
boy senator from the west, who plays
opposite Mary Louise Morgan as
Emmy, naive Mississippi miss.

The plot reveals the inside of Wash-
ington society, and the clever planning
of two ambitious women. Mrs. Lucy
Chase Wayne, wife of the secretary of
state, decides to make her husband
the president of the United States, in
order to foil Irene Hibbard, who is
set on making Gordon Keene the presi-
dent. She starts a movement which is
supposed to lead to the nomination of
Carter Hibbard, Irene's husband. How
she keeps Carter from being nominated
and secures the nomination for her
husband is disclosed in the action of
the remainder of the play.

Brooks Atkinson, writing in the New
York Times says: "It is a brilliant
comedy by George S. Kaufman, the
Moliere of Broadway. .. "First Lady"
is one of the best comedies stamped
with the Kaufman hallmark . . gay,
mischievous, and capitally written."

"First Lady" is under the capable
direction of Mrs. Nita Eckles West,
'head of the department of expression.
Reserved seat tickets at thirty-five
cents are on sale every afternoon in the
lobby of Thaw hall.

The Disc club will present Mozart's

Symphony, one of the greatest to be
composed by Mozart, reflects more than
any other the effect of Mozart's struggle
for existence. It consists of four move-

ing a mood of gaiety. Commentator for
the afternoon will be Harriet Barber.

Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon

is open to any students desiring to play

dent in charge of distributing the re-

"Good idea," said Bob. "but do you

sene stoves?"

"Yes. Let me do it."

The stove was lighted; the water
put on to heat; and the two characters,
Fish and Cusworth, went into their
room, closed the door, sat down, and
waited for the water to heat.

Now Charlie's mother had never
taught him how to run a kerosene
stove, and so his knowledge of such
a stove was only second hand. Little
did Charlie ever guess that if a kero-
sene stove is turned way up, sooot will
get all over everything. So therefore

An exhibition of Indian pottery de-

Gowdy Baker Art Gallery from Feb-
ruary 28 to March 7. The art gallery
is open daily from 3 o'clock until 5
o'clock.

This exhibition of pottery designs
prepared through the co-operation of
Frederic H. Douglas, Curator of In-
dian art at the Denver Art museum,
is being circulated for the purpose of
giving a good cross section of modern
Pueblo pottery. It consists of 44 plates
from nine modern pottery-making
pueblos, with six plates of prehistoric
designs from the same area, to give
some insight into their remote back-
ground.

This exhibition, as well as others
that will be displayed in the future, is

Federation of Arts, a national organi-
zation for the cultivation of the fine
arts. The art department of Maryville
college is a member of this organiza-

Major Price To Speak

At YW Meeting Sunday

The subject of "Prayer" will be dis-
cussed Sunday afternoon at the YW
meeting by Major Charles W. Price,
from Sweetwater, Tennessee. Special
music will also be part of the program.

Major Price is the manager and con-
sulting chemist of a Tennessee mineral
company. He is an outstanding Christ-
ian leader in his community, being the
teacher of a men's Bible class. A grad-
uate of Cumberland University, he was
an officer in the World War and later
became an instructor in science at
the Tennessee Military Institute. Mary-
ville students first came to know Major
Price at the YW-YM retreat last spring.

A more than capacity audience of
1100 people went wildly enthusiastic
in Voorhees chapel Monday evening
when that greatest of men singers, the
American baritone John Charles
Thomas of the Metropolitan opera'sang
his way into the hearts of all East
Tennessee. Never have the people
of East Tennessee or the student body
of Maryville college enjoyed such a
treat.

A large stalwart man strode on the
stage, and when the first liquid notes
poured forth from that superb and
highly trained throat, the artist had
his audience at his command. His in-
terpretation and dramatic flair alone
would have captivated one, but thai
was only a part. Deep, resonant, vib-
rant tones carried through all parts
of the auditorium and faded away into
the most delicate and tender pianis-
simi imaginable. One forgot his sur-
roundings, everything, in the spirit
and carrying power of the artist.

At the end of the first group, the
great "0 Du Mein Holder Abenstern"
from Tannhauser by Wagner was
a vocal masterpiece done as an en-
core.

Carrol Hollister, the youthful and
most adequate pianist was an artist
in his own right, playing to perfection
all occompaniements by memory and
giving an exquisite group of piano
numbers encored by the "Clair de
Lune" of Debussy. Never has a more
perfect accompanist appeared on the
Maryville stage.

Mr. Thomas' second group was a
number of French songs done with
the most finesse and perfect diction
possible. He gave evidence of great
humanism in his wonderful dramatic
explanation and interpretation of this

Tennessee Philological Ass'n

Meeting At College, Mar. 4-5

Freshmen Attend
Reading Classes

Special reading classes have been
organized by the Psychology depart-
ment and are now meeting regularly
for those freshmen falling below aver-
age on the Iowa Reading Test given
early in the school year. A mechanical
device is used for increasing the rate
of speed in reading and text book
study for increasing comprehension
ability. It is predicted that those tak-
ing this special training will increase
their rate of speed and comprehension
at least 25 per cent, and some perhaps
as much as 60 per cent.

Because of numerous requests by
both freshmen and upper classmen the
afternoon classes are to be open to any
student wishing to join them. All
classes are limited to fifty, however. »

last Saturday and by winning the deci-

Tuesday.

In the Bristol tournament twenty-
two teams from ten colleges went
through four rounds of competition,
and Maryville shared honors with Vir-
ginia Intermont college in debate con-
tests. The negative team of the Col-
lege, composed of Arda Walker and
Miriam Waggoner, went through the
rounds undefeated.

The affirmative team, composed of
Sara Lee Heliums and Georgia Ingle,
was the highest ranking affirmative
team; and Miss Ingle received the
highest individual rating in this group.
She was closely followed by Miss Hel-
iums. Other honors of the tournament
went to Louise Proffitt who won sec-
ond place in the extempore speaking
contest, and also in the oratorical con-
test. Gloria Miller was declared the
champion poetry reader.

On Tuesday afternoon, a negative
team, composed of Warren Ashby and

team from Erskine college in a non-
decision debate. Then, in the evening,

Flat Tires, Hotels, And Interviewers

"All In A Concert Tour" Says Thomas

By ROBERT BRANDRIFF

John Charles Thomas was very deci-
dedly not in a good humor when he
set out from Knoxville last Monday
night to sing here. Standing on the
•curb outside his hotel, in a black over-
coat, a blue scarf wrapped around his
neck, and a soft felt hat pushed low
on his head, he looked the very pic-
ture of impatient indignation. His size,
accentuated by contrast with the
slender figure of Mr. Hollister, made
him appear doubly formidable. None of
which was calculated to contribute to
the poise of a cub reporter.
Has Trouble Leaving '

In the first place, Mr. Thomas had
tried to leave the hotel by the outside
exit, but since he carried a large yel-
low bag, his efforts had looked sus-
picious to the elevator operator, wha
apparently was no opera fan, and in-
sisted that it was the custom for de-
parting guests to leave by the front
door. In the second place, it seems that
interviewers from the Knoxville papers
had crossed their wires and run stories
carrying Mr. Thomas' emphatic state-
ment that he doesn't like to sing! In
consequence his opening remarks were
to the effect that he would never give
another interview. Newspaper men
were all alike, and always wrong. The

officially empowered and fully auth-
orized representative of the Highland
Echo began to hunt for objects of
interest in the passing landscape.

Fortunately, in a short time Mr.
Thomas began to regain his composure,
and before he was half way to Mary-
ville, he was humming in a mock basso
profundo, "Rocked in the Cradle of
the Dee-ee-ep."
Mrs. Thomas Absent

Mrs. Thomas, who invariably ac-
companies her husband and attends
her husband's recitals, was this time
unable to do so because of the neces-
sity of seeing that their baggage was
on the train. So close was Mr. Thomas'
schedule that night, that the L. & N.
officials offered to hold The Flamingo
ten minutes should he give too many
encores.

Professor Howell, noticing the wea-
ther, remarked that even if it rained
it would not affect the tenor of the
audience. Almost before it wae out of
his mouth, Thomas came back with—
"Well, it won't affect the baritone of
it, either." From then on the going was
easy. Singing before college students
was no novelty to Mr. Thomas, and he
has some pretty definite ideas on the
subject. Instead of mention of the
youthful enthusiasm which we were

angling for, he maintained that often
college groups are afflicted with de-
lusions of superiority and a sort of
super -sophistication which makes them
hard to please. But after the concert,
Mr. Thomas was sincere in his ex-
pression of satisfaction with the Mary-
ville audience.

Asked why he had included no arias
on the original program, Mr. Thomas
replied that he understood that our
concert here was to be in the nature
of a recital, and that most people think
that operatic airs are not recital num-
bers, while others expect them of an
opera singer wherever he appears,
Mr. Thomas deplored the possibility
of pleasing all the people all the time.
Thomas Gives Advice

Taking advantage of an opportunity
that comes once in a life time, and en-
couraged by Mr. Tomas' geniality, we
got personal and asked "What is the
greatest tragedy that can befall an
artist?" which is the theme of a short
story due within the month. And simul-
taneously with the inquiry, Professor
Howell suffered the first flat tire of
his new car, and we were bouncing
along on the rim. "That, my boy," said
Mr. Thomas, "is the greatest tradegy
of an artist; to miss his engagement,
(ContiiHiad on page two)

The thirty-second annual meeting of
the Tennessee Philological association
will be held at Maryville college next
Friday and Saturday.

Dr. Edwin R. Hunter, director of cur-
riculum and vice-president of the As-
sociation, will read a paper on "Max-
well Anderson's Use of Verse" at the
first session, which will open Friday
morning at 9:30 in Thaw hall. During
the same session Dr. Hill Shine, asso-
ciate professor of English, will give"
a paper on "Some Possibilities of Mic-
rophotography as an aid to Research."
The modern foreign language faculty
of the College will be represented by
Miss Dorothy F. Hunter, associate pro-
fessor of French and German, who has
as a topic "Moliere and Louis XIV."
Dr. George B. Hussey, former head of
the foreign language department of the
College, will present a paper on "Some
Readings in Plato's Sophist."
Students Illustrate Songs

The third session of the meeting, to
be held in Voorhees chapel Friday
evening at eight o'clock, will feature
Edwin S. Lindsay of the University of
Chattanooga, who will speak on "The
Music of Ben Jonson's Songs." The
talk will be illustrated by students
from the music department of Mary-
ville college under the direction of
Dorothy Home and Ralph Colbert,
instructors in music.

Nancy Quinn will sing "Though I
Am Young," and "Still to be Neat." Dick
Woodring will sing two other weU-
known Jonson lyrics, "Drink to Me
Only with Thine Eyes," and "Do But
Look in Her Eyes." "The Cutpurjse," a
dialogue and song, will be presented by
Edwin Goddard and Ralph Reed ac-
companied by a small orchestra com-
posed of Miss Home and Edward Bru-
baker, first violin; Mable Longmire
and Annabelle Voight, second violin;
John Guinter, viola; Erwin Ritzman

THANKS OF SAMUEL TYNDALE WILSON FOR
KINDESSES SHOWN HEM

I am again placed under the happiest and deepest
o." obligations to President Lloyd and to the faculty of the
college, and to the students of Maryville college for their
cordial and kindly expressions of interest and sympathy
and good will to me in connection with the celebration of
my eightieth birthday. This good-will has been expressed
in, to me, beautiful ways; both official and personal.

I thank all of you very heartily, indeed, for what-
ever part you may have had in bringing happiness to me
on this birthday of mine.

Nor would I fail to express to my friends in the
town of Maryville and elsewhere whatever share they have
had in graciously making me grateful and happy on this
birthday occasion.

I am glad that this expression of gratitude on my
part happens to be coincident with another cause for
gratitude that is warming our hearts on these last days of
February. We are all grateful, I am sure, for the large and
useful service that has been renderd the College during
these past few days b^y Dr. Barbour and by many other
willing hearts; and that calls for sincere gratitude on the
part of all of us.

Cordially yours,

Samuel Tyndale Wilson

a definite milestone in our college Artist Series. Never
before has quite so great a figure appeared on our stage,
nor so large an audience packed the chapel.

And this season also marks the tenth anniversary
of the inspired and competant direction of Professor Geo.
D- Howell, who took over the duties of impressario in 1928.
The years since have witnessed a steady rise in the cali-
bre of artists appearing and a widening circle of influence
in this section of the state. When Professor Howell took
over the series, the year's program included a company
of magicians, a male quartette, a lecturer, and a group of
bell-ringers. In recent years, the Westminister choir,
Iturbi, the Vienna choir boys, Horowitz, Casadessus, Meisle,
Spalding, Jepson, Hofmann have been included on the
roster of internationally known musicians who have
brought to Maryville the finest of the world's music. In
1928, the "Lyceum" was an entirely local educational fea-
ture; Monday night brought music lovers from Bristol
and Chattanooga and points between.

Professor Howell is a capable musician in his own
right, and a dicriminating judge of good music; qualifi-
^'■■^■'cations which have contributed much to the outstanding
success of his choice of artists. So far he has never been
wrong. His great artists have been popular, and the young-
er ones on the way to success.

Single-handed, Professor Howell has made our
artists series one of the most valuable cultural assets of
the college. This word of appreciation can do little to re-
pay the sacrifice of time and effort involved through the
years except as it represents the unexpressed opinion of
the entire student body and faculty, for that is his only re-
ward.

Fits and Fizzles

Bq FRED RHOD"

Having just read a book on the pioneer spirit of
our forefathers, we are penitent for the way that we have
frittered away our time, content to drift with the tide.
Henceforth we, too, fell insipred to carry on. We propose
a new crusade — A pipe for Every Male Faculty Member.

For Dr. Hunter we suggest one of those contrap-
tions with the long tube and jug of water, before which
we picture him in a gay turban, sitting cross-legged, in
sedate meditation, while a bevy of beauties dance languor-
ously about him. Professor Davis needs a low-slung pipe,
the bowl drooping close to the ground — one that will help
complete that Sherlock Holmes suggestion. Prof. Queener
must have a jaunty straight pipe — one that can be easily
shifted to one corner of the mouth while a wise-crack
comes from the other corner. We suggest a corn cob for
Dr. Shine — a corn cob and strong cut-plug tobacco. Any-
thing else would seem wishy-washy. A conservative
smoothly-polished briar, slightly curved to fit the chins,
would enhance that certain air of Dr. Rodgers. Dr. Orr
needs a trim sort of a pipe, built on straight concise lines.
We suggest a large drooping meerschaum with a perforated
lid for Coach Honaker— that's all he needs to be com-
pletely the solemn, quiet, tight-lipped Buddha-like think-
er which he so closely resembles. The typical college boy's
sleek straight pipe would be best for Dr. Lloyd — the kind
which is clenched for dear life between the teeth and
talked through, requiring frequent lighting and careful
nurture. And the others must have pipes, too.

Concerning this plan for A Pipe for Every Male
Faculty Member, we believe it would

(1) give the teachers something to do during eight
hours of the day.

(2) take their minds off tests;

(3) give students something to laugh at in life;

(4) give the Echo editor something to write edi-
torials about;

(5) give Echo columnist something to write
columns about;

(5) give Echo columnists something to write
giving students more holidays.

Each of our teachers looks as though he isn't
quite all there; a pipe would complete the picture.

EDEN RESIGNS

SIR ANTHONY EDEN'S resignation from the Bri-
tish cabinet is one of the most significant events in the
history of international politics. It shows more clearly than
ever before that the once mighty British empire is in a
process of disintergration. That empire has been established
and kept intact by means of vigorous foreign policy, just
such a policy as Eden proposes. It was because of the vacil-
lating, compromising policy favored by prime minister
Neville Chamberlain that Eden left the cabinet.

Chamberlain's victory is not surprising when one
considers British diplomacy since the war. Because of the
confusion in British opinion as to what course should be
pursued, British diplomats have been alternately pro- Ger-
man, anti-French; anti-German, pro-French; anti-Fascist,
pro-Soviet; pro-Fascist, anti-Communist. This hopeless con-
fusion of sympathies and purposes has made the British
ship of Stave veer first in one direction and then in another
with apparently no pilot (or perhaps too many pilots) at
the helm.

Another significant indication of the coming dis-
integration is the declining population. In the British
empire white men numbering some sixty -five million have
been ruling around eight times as many dark men. The
white men are refusing to reproduce themselves. If the
present declining birthrate continues, England which now
has a populatioon of some forty-five million souls will
enter the Twenty-first Century with only thirty million.

Australia and New Zealand with vast spaces open
for settlement also have a declining population of only
eight million whites. Similarly a relatively small number
of Englishmen rule the Union of South Africa and are
surrounded by a rapidly increasing number of blacks.

All in all it adds up to this: one wonders how long
a declining race of white men can continue to rule an
increasing group of blacks who slowly are learning the
use of the white man's weapons, how long a foreign policy
of vacillation and compromise can hold its own against the
everthreatening assaults of more vigorous nations such
as Germany, Italy, and Japan.

NEUTRALITY IMPOSSIBLE

SPEAKING ON "NEUTRALITY LEGISLATION"
before the Maryville Kiwanis club Wednesday, Profesor
Queener came to the conclusion that neutrality is im-
possible for the United States. In order to remain neutral
the American people must be indifferent; they must not
pass judgement on the actions of other nations. That means
they must be unemotional. And who would say that
Americans are not emotional?

Many declare that we are wiser now, that we won't
listen to inflammatory propaganda. But who can sort the
true from the false? What average American can match
wits with the master propagandist? To say we won't
listen to propaganda is to say we won't read our news-
papers.

Others say the state department won't make the
same mistakes twice. But when manufacturers begin to
complain bitterly about lost markets, when belligerents
begin to sink our supply ships, when speculators begin to
whine about lost investments, what state department will
then be able to resist the pressure to make the world safe
for democracy?

The present neutrality law provides that when a
state of warfare exists the president shall declare an em-
bargo on shipments of war materials in American vessels.
But in almost all cases such an embargo will work to the
advantage of the agressor, and the agressor is almost al-
ways a natural enemy of the United States. Japan, who
opposes us in the Pacific, is obviously in a much better
position to get good on a "cash-carry" basis than is China.

The obvious conclusion is that neutrality is im-
possible. With this myth behind her America then should
abandon isolationism. She should join the World Court
and openly, but not blindly, form alliances with her
natural allies, England and France. The only way to
avoid war is to show a united front to those who would
attack us.

We respectfully submit this plan. Possibly nothing
will come of it. But our conscience is clear; we have done
our bit toward trying to put a little sunshine into the
cheerless life of the college professor.

CAMPUS SHORTS

Exchange Notes

by Curtmarie Brown

Employment

The University of Arkansas paper,
the Arkansas Traveler, has established
a free student employment agency on
the campus. The paper offers the ser-
vices of the students to townspeople.
Students are registered as tutors, typ-
ists, odd-job men, nurse maids, chauf-
fers, store clerks, dish washers and
waiters.
Lecture
Now I sit me down to sleep,
The lecture's dry, the subjects deep.
If he should quit before I wake,
Give me a punch, for goodness sake!
Boners

Freshmen at the University of Wash-
ington added to the "boner" collection
during an identification test.

Fiorello La Guardia, New York City
Mayor— "a general in the Spanish Civil
War."

John L. Lewis— "president of the
American Federation of Labor."

Dr. Joseph Goebbels, German Mini-
ster of propaganda— "a secretary to
the A.F. of L. or a kidnapper."

Camille Chautemps, premier of
France — "a French movie star."
Gold Diggers

Co-eds at Oglethorpe university have
formed an "Ugly Club" to protect their
rights against unchivalrous males. Fol-
lowing is a statement of the president
of the club:

"We never turn down anything. If
a cigarette is offered and we don't
want it ourselves, we have to take it
and give it to one of our sister mem-
bers. Although we're not exactly gold
diggers, we're going to take everything
we can get."
Handy

A student at Lewis Institute of Tech-
nology has a card index of students
who forget such vital details as their
sweethearts' birthdays or the date of
their hair-cut or just plain dates. If
a student whose name is on file for-
gets these statistics, he merely calls
the agency and gets the information.

FLAT TIRES, INTERVIEWS

ARE EXPECTED BY THOMAS

(Continued From Page One)
and not get his check — that's real
tragedy!" He was too good a sportsman
to let it bother him, even if he was sup-
posed to sing in five minutes, and he
dismissed it with a wave of the hand
and "It's all part of a concert tour."

While the tire was being changed in
a filling station on the edge of town,
Mr. Thomas spent most of the time gaz-
ing in the window of a small fruit
stand nearby, while Mr. Hollister went
inside for a glass of milk. Carroll Hol-
lister is a charming person by himself.
He keeps much in the background
when he is with Mr. Thomas, but alone
he became more expansive, and on
the discovery that he was from Con-
necticut, we had no trouble at all in
agreeing that his state was one of
the best places in the world to live.

After the concert, when Mr. Thomas
swung up the steps of his train and
waved a hearty goodbye, he left be-
hind the impresion of a dynamic and
commanding personality, used to suc-
cess, but none the less natural and un-
affected. He can talk about anything
to anybody; and will, unless he has
just had a particularly unsatisfactory
interview. His manner is reserved, with
an impression of great strength held
in restraint. Friendly, witty, and a
consummate artist, he is altogether
a delightful person.

The sick list for the student body
this week numbered only two. Clay-
ton Marx is at Carson's hospital where
he is recovering from an appendicitis
operation, which he underwent several
days ago, and Eugene Morgan, who
was suffering from an infected leg,
has been released from the college hos-
pital.

Dr. O. R. Tarwater, pastor of the
Northern Methodist Church, will be
the guest speaker at the regular meet-
ing of the Ministerial Association, on
Monday night. He will speak on the
hymnology of the Christian church and
its use in the worship program of any
service. He will present the stories be-
hind many of the well-loved hymns,
and give the value of knowledge of.
the hymns to the minister.

Sunday night a quartette represent-
ing Maryville college will sing at the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church m
Knoxville. The quartette will be com-
posed of Dick Woodring, Roland An-
derson, Ed Goddard, and Harry Fer-
ran.

The pastor of the Fifth Avenue
church is the brother-in-law of Miss
Jessie K. Johnson of the department of
English at the college.

Thursday evening the Seashore test
of musical ability was administered by
William McGill, assistant in the psy-
chology department, to fifteen music
students who were not among the one
hunderd to take it last semester.

This series of standardized tests,
worked on by Dr. Carl E. Seashore of
the University of Iowa, tests natural
ability in discriminative perception of
pitch, intensity, consonance, tonal
memory, rhythm, and time.

Now In Printer's Hands

AN APOLOGY

AS EXPECTED, quite a reaction came from last
week's blast at the "line crashers." The class presidents
mentioned have in particular openly, and no doubt right-
fully, denied the accusation. After investigating, the
columnist must admit that what they say is true and the
statement was entirely incorrect.

All four class presidents were in line that day.
Senior class president Jim Proffitt, sportsman that he is,
took his place at the foot of a line that doubled back around
the ticket seller's desk when he got there. Junior class
president Fred Rhody had asked another person to stand
in line for him and merely exchanged places. Sophomore
class president Arnold Kramer also obtained his tickets
by a strictly legal process, while freshman class president
Donaldson, far from being an offender, offered in that
deep Highland voice of bis, to take one of the crashers
out in the "alley."

John Crawford Speaks
At Meeting Of Law Club

John Crawford, former Maryville
student and gradute of Harvard, talked
to the members of the Law club last
Wednesday evening. His message cen-
tering around the questions, "What Is
Law?" and "Am I Capable of being a
Lawyer?"

At the close of Mr. Crawford's talk,
the members discussed plans for a
mock trial to be held soon.

Hold Formal Dinner

The social committee sponsored a
formal dinner last Monday night before
the Thomas concert. Robert Gillespie
acted as master of ceremonies and
introduced the Vagabond quartette, of
John Magill, Carl Wells, Lloyd Wells
and Donnell McArthur. Samuel Corne-
lius and Ralph Reed played two trum-
pet duets. The program ended with a
group of popular songs by Russell
Hirsch, accompanied by Gerald Bea-
ver.

Only the 490 copies already ordered'

In Five Years
He'll Own His
Own Shop...
We Know!

He's Saving For The Future...

This cheery young chap is an example of what "to
save and advance" stands for. At twelve he was de-
livering groceries, during high school he worked
after school and on Saturdays, when he graduated
he became the boss' best selling clerk. During all
these steps of advancement he has saved to reach
his goal . ... .to own his own store !

In five more years he will own his own store . but
will you have reached your goal? Will you have the
home you've always been planning on, or whatever
else you've always wanted? You most likely will if
you've saved a certain amount each week or month.
However, if you haven't saved it's never too late to
start. We welcome small or large accounts and in-
vestments alike.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO FEBRUARY 26, 1938

EDITORIAL SIESTA

With the interclass activities and the wrestling
imeet in Alumni gym tonight comes an end to the current
sports season.

For those of us who have been disappointed by
the failure of Scot teams to set the woods on fire in winter
sports, there is a measure of relief in sight. It seems that
the trio of spring sports now rolling from hiding will
show the best array of talent that has sprung up in some
time.

On the diamond Coach Honaker presents an out-
fit which with essentially the same personnel won the
SMC title in 1937. The outfied may cause trouble during
the first part of the season. Otherwise the Scots are
pretty well set for a title defense.

The track team, which lost the Smoky Mountain
championship for the second time in history last year,
will regain the diadem with little difficulty. That's our
story and we'll stick to it. The spiked-shoe men have the
stuff to win this year.

As for tennis, we learn from reliable sources
that upawrds of half a dozen new men of ability are slated
to report to Coach Fischbach in March. With the compe-
tent groups left from last spring they should form an
efficient racket corps.

Having thus cast a rosy glow on the sports future
we again leave you to the tender mercy of those inimitable
associate scribes Steakly and Felknor the Younger. Take
it Mr. Felknor!

Tonight the grunt and groan men under Coach
Thrower have a pretty heavy assignment in the Appala-
chian squad from Boone, North Carolina.

Not so long ago, around anuary 22, the Moun-
taineers from that particular locality inflicted a 25 to 0
defeat upon the Scotty grapplers. The meet was in the
back yard of the Mountaineers, but tonight the wrestlers
close the season with the return match in the Alumni gym.

Things should happen

• One thing is certain, Guy Propst doesn't think
that he will be disqualified for stalling this time. It is
rumored that Propst has been waiting for this chance for
a long time, and the match should be at least interesting.
SWIMMING

It won't be as long as it has been till the swim-
ming team will hang up its suits for another year.

Many things have happened during the various
meets. Most of the happenings were rather sad stories for
the Scotties, but taking into consideration the facts of the
situation they have done better than excellen.

Tusculum, the only school that Maryville has met
on equal footing, went down by such a sizeable score that
it is too sad to relate. This was the only school that the
local men have met that was near the size of Maryville.

Maryville Matmen
Scrap Appalachian
Wrestlers Tonight

North Carolina Grapplers

Offer Problem For

Scot Tusslers

This evening at 8:00 Maryville's
grapplers will close the wrestling sea-
son by a meet with Appalachian Tea-
chers college of Boone, North Carolina.
The Scotty men have already met the
Mountaineers from Boone once in
Boone, and the Maryville men will be
seeking revenge for the rather one
sided defeat given them by theit hosts
there.

Appalachian Teachers always pro-
duces one of the strongest wrestling
teams in this region, and the one that
will appear in the Alumni gym tonight
will be no exception to this rule.

Scotty tusslers have been looking
forward to this return engagement for
some time and the men of Maryville
promise to give a somewhat better ac-
count in their performances. Most
noteworthy of these is Guy Propst who,
if rumors are correct, will not be
caught stalling tonight. Propst was dis-
qualified for this offense while per-
forming before the grunt and groan
fans in Boone.

The match this evening will wind up
the mat card for the year 1938, and if
this team from Boone is what it is
supposed to be, the match will add a
rather colorful close to the season.

Milligan Defeats
Maryville Quintet

It Won't Be Long
Now Until Tennis
Team Begins Work

It won't be long now until the racket
wielders and the net enthusiasts will
be getting into the swing of things.
Coch Fischbach announces that tennis
workouts will begin sometime during
the second week in March.

Workouts will be held in the gym
until the weather permits the squad
to begin work on the courts out-doors.
Probably about a month will be spent
on the hardwood before the courts
will be in a fit condition to be played
on.

Pre-season prospects look most pro-
mising for a very super season. With
all of the first four men of last year's
squad returning and four or five above
par newcomers the team should cer-
tainly come out on top. From last year,
Gillingham, Morrow, Augestine, and
Colombo all saw quite a bit of active
service in the first four positions on
the team; while McCammon, Lloyd,
Akana, Van Cise, Proctor and Honaker
will probably be on deck along with
the other four.

Coach Fischbach states that places
on the team are wide open and that
all above-par players should not hesi-
tate to try for the team.

INTRAMURAL ITEMS

Did you know that Colombo, junior
stor, scored 123 points in the nine
games; that Parker, senior ace, scored
21 points in one game .making his
total for the nine games at 94, and that
both of these players were unanimously
elected as forwards on the all-star
team? Did you realize that the seniors
won their first four games, only to
lose the last five and end up a poor
third (Where was Ross?); or that the
freshmen came out of a slump in the
cellar and ended up in second place?
What do you think of Proctor, who
only scoring 30 points for the season,
scored 14 of these in one game; or of
Bruce who scored 14 points in the first
half of one game and failed to con-
nect the second half (good guarding?)

The Scotty quintet dropped a fast
conference game to the Milligan Buffa-
loes last Monday night 37-45. This was
the second conference defeat suffered
by the Highlanders from the hands of
the Buffaloes.

Maryville was unable to hold that
great Milligan basketeer, Perkins, who
made a total of 23 points for high scor-
ing honors of the evening. The game
was close throughout the first half,
with Milligan holding only a two point
lead at halftime, the score being 20-22.
Weldon Baird scored 10 points for
Maryville for the Scots' high scoring
honors. Milligan is tied for first place
in the SMC with Lincoln Memorial
University, each team having lost but
two games.

On Tuesday and Thursday of last
week the freshman team of women's
speedball defeated the junior-senior
team 8-6, and the sophomore team 7-6.
These two victories have made the
freshmen winners and champions of
the speedball tournament.

The last game of the tournament be-
tween the junior-seniors and the
sophomores will be played on Tues-
day at three o'clcok.

Baseball practice will begin Thurs-
day for the three groups.

Dropping her second straight Smoky
Mountain Conference game this week,
the Maryville Scotties lost to King
last Tuesday night 39-43.

Although Maryville led at the half-
time 23-21, they were unable to keep
their slim margin throughout the rest
of the game. Howard "Flash" Magill,
Scot forward, led the pack in scoring
with 18 points chalked up to his credit.

This was the second game with King;
the first game was won by Maryville.

Tonight the Scotties will go to Jeffer-
son City to continue their feud with
their old enemies, the Carson-Newman
Eagles. Although the Scotties won the
first encounter, the Eagles, coached by
"Frosty" Holt, will be far from the
underdogs. The game is a SMC engage-
ment.

Maryville college's wrestling team
gleaned revenge from the Knoxville Y
MCA grapplers for the early season
defeat by taking the Y men with the
rather one sided score of 22 1-2 to 9
1-2 the evening of February 19, in the
Alumni gym.

The climax of the match came when
Fred Tulloch of Maryville pinned
Fracis of the Y in one minute and 20
seconds. Other Maryville graplers pin-
ning their opponents were Renfro, who
pinned Bales of Knoxville in 5:05, and
Hahn, who pinned Haines in 5:15.

Maryville took five of the matches
and got a draw in the sixth. Knoxville
won only the 145-pound class and
126-pound class.

The men from the Y held out to the
last inch, but the superiority of the
Highlanders in both coaching and
training carried its share of weight to-
ward the final score.

Results were:
Hi -lbs; Astles (M) won a decision over

Lebow (Y)
126-lbs; Morris (Y) won a decision

over Mooney (M)
135-lbs; Everett (M) and Askin (Y),

Hilditch Takes High Scor-
ing Honors Of Meet With
Akana Taking Breast
Stroke As Usual

INTRAMURAL SHORTS

With the close of the intramural sea-
son near, the fast scoring quintet of
the juniors defeated a strong soph-
omore team last Wednesday night 23-
25.

In an intramural game played last
Wednesday night, the freshman quin-
tet turned in a surprising victory over
the favored senior quintet 30-43. The
freshmen, who have won their last
three games, took the lead early and
were able to keep it throughout the
rest of the game.

Russell, freshman centjer, hit the
hoop for 19 points to hold high scoring
honors for the evening. Miller, his
freshman running mate ran a close
second with 15 points.

Maryville's swimming team again de-
feated the mermen of Tusculum col-
lege in a return dual meet held in
Tusculum's pool last evening by the
rather close score of 41 to 34.

Twice during the meet the score
stood tied. Once about the half way
mark the two teams stood even with
16 points apiece. Again, just befone
the last event of th« meet, the scores
were tied up 34 and 34. Maryville's
200-yard relay team came through,
to give the Scotties the victory by
seven points.

SCOTS WIN RELAYS

Scoring was pretty evenly disper-
sed among the Scotties, but Hilditch
took the high scoring honors with a
first in the 50 and 100-yard evente, and
was also a member of the winning
200-yard relay team. Paul Akana
chalked up his usual first in the 100-
yard breast stroke.

Maryville's squad was handicapped
throughout the meet by colds which
had prevented one or two men from
making the trip and which kept several
out of practice last week.

The meet last evening winds up the
intercollegiate card of the tankmen, but
they have in prospect a couple of meets
with Chattanooga "Y".

group which was certainly a high
light of the program. His encores
after this group were "Flow Gently
Sweet Afton" by Spilman followed by
that great aria, "Largo e Factorum"
from Rossini's "Barber of Seville" for
the interpretation of which he is
famous. That encore- alone was well
worth the evening had Mr. Thomas
sung nothing else.

Following immediately was the last
group, an English group, in which was
included a new song, "Rhymes of a
Rover," composed by his accompanist
and dedicated to Mr. Thomas. Mary-
ville heard its second performance.
Included also was "The Rich Man" by
Hagemann, and the group was encored
by 'O Dry Those Tears" by Del Riego
and "The Little Fisherman." The1 last
number was the Lord's prayer ar-
ranged by Malotte and dedicated to
Mr. Thomas and which was one of the
most beautiful numbers imaginable.
The audience was left in such a trance
after this rendition that it was quite
a time before there was any applause,
and then it seemd almost sacrilegious.
Mr. Thomas said that the Maryville
audience was one of the most inspir-
ing he had ever sung to; the packed
house, rapt attention, and keen ap-
preciation of his audience was some-
thing he would never forget. He hoped
he could return to Maryville college
some day.

Satirical Drama, "First Lady," Draws
Audience of 500 Thursday in Voorhees

Midwinter Presentation By Theta Epsilon— Alpha Sigma

Is Built Around Rivalry In Washington

Political Society Sets

NUMBER 19

An audience of about 500 Thurs-
day saw on Voorhees stage the Theta-
EmUon— Alpha Sigma production of
tw three-act satirical drama, "First
Lady," written jointly by Katherine
Dayton and George Kaufman, the lat-
ter of whom is well known for the
extremely popular comedy, "You Can't
'fake It With You."

The plot is built around the social
rivalry between the wives of the Sec-
retary of State, Stephen Wayne, and
a Supreme Court justice, Carter Hib-
bard, each wanting her husband to
be president. Gloria Miller as Lucy
Chase Wayne and Irene Browder as
Irene Hibbard gave a lively portrayal
of the bitter fight for first place in
Washington political society. Robert
Gillespie was good as the dyspeptic

and exasperatingly consistent justice.
Gordon Bennett as Secretary Wayne
had a quiet role which he did well
with but a bit too low for the back
seats to have full benefit. Jane Irwin
played an important part as Sophy
Prescott, efficient secretary to Mrs.
Wayne, managing her cleverly and as
well as she could be managed. Some-
one compared favorably Muriel Mann's
portrayal of the leader of six million
women in the Women's Peace, Purity,
and Patriotism League with the same
role in the movie — a convincingly
ridiculous woman reformer in politics.
In a minor role Mary Louise Morgan,
in her first appearance on the Mary-
ville stage, left nothing lacking in the
"Southernness" of Mrs. Wayne's niece

The exhibition of Indian pottery de-
signs which was on display this week
in the Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Mem-
orial Art Gallery was prepared through
the co-operation of Frederic H. Doug-
las. Mr. Douglas is Curator of Indian
Art of the Denver Art Museum. The
collection of fifty designs is a private
collection which is being sent over
the United States to give the public
an idea of what the ancient and modern
Pueblo pottery designs are like.

Forty-four of the designs are those
of pueblo pottery makers of today. The
other six designs are from prehistoric
days. The prehistoric designs were
made of black and white geometrical
forms. These prehistoric designs were
gotten from pottery which was found
with skeletons of prehistoric Indians.
The bowls from which the designs
were taken were found fitted over
the skulls of the Indian. Many of
these ancient bowls have been un-
earthed, no two of which are alike.

Each pueblo, or Indian village, has
its own set of designs; however, the
designs all have the same general ori-
gin. Mountains, clouds, lightning, rain,
flowers and leaves are symbolized.
Birds or feathers are often used in
making symbols. The Indian thought
that birds carried messages to the gods.
Florence S. Berryman, of the Depart-
ment of Educational work of the Fed-
eration of Art, says, "Some of the
pueblo bird symbols have become so
abstract that it is difficult to recog-
nize their origin."

According to tradition, pueblo pot-
tery design must be red outlined with
black, and masses of red and black
must be separated by a space. How-
ever, today it seems that the people
who make designs follow this tradition
only when they choose.

In the collection there are five Hopi
designs, which are round, because they
were found in the bottom of bowls.

This collection of Indian pottery de-
signs is being circulated by the Ameri-
can Federation of Arts, a national or-
ganization for the cultivation of the
arts.

crew.

Among the more familiar choruses
which are often heard out of perform-
ance are "Tripping Hither, Tripping
Hither,"- "Into Parliament He Shall Go,"
and "When Britannia Really Ruled the
Land," from which a hymn tune has
been derived. Sir Arthur Sullivan, who
composed the music, also wrote "The
Lost Chord" and "Onward Christian
Soldiers."

First Given In 1882

"Iolanthe" was first performed on
November 25, 1882, and because of the
lack of copyright laws, appeared simul-
taneously in London and New York.
A superstition as to the efficacy of the
letter "P" almost made the authors
call it "Perola." It was subsequently
changed, however, but the sub-title
is still "The Peer and the Peri."

According to Mr. Colbert, the first
act is memorized, and the complete
cast has been staged twice.

Mrs. Jane B. S. Alexander, one time
professor here, and valued member of
the community, died at St. Mary's
hospital, Knoxville, at 8 o'clock Wed-
nesday morning, March 2.

Mrs. Alexander, then Miss Jane Ban-
croft Smith, came to Maryville as a
teacher of Latin in the College, in 1883.
In this position she continued for two
years. She returned later for a one-
year period to teach Latin and Modern
Language, and finally in 1904 she be-
gan a thirty-year period as teacher of
English. In the intervals of time away
from Maryville she taught at Linden-
wood College, St. Charles, Missouri,
for five years; at Vassar Preparatory
School, Poughkeepsie, New York, for
three years; and at Hal stead School,
Yonkers, New York, for three years.
Taught 33 Years
The whole span of her connection
with the College covered fifty-one
years, from 1883 to 1934, and her actual
teaching service covered thirty-three
years. Only four or five others in the
entire history of the institution have
served longer.

Her own schooling included study
at Wellesley College, the University
of Vermont, Columbia university, Har-
vard university, and the Sorbonne in
Paris. But her school days never ended,
for, for herself, she was always at

French Teachers Of Tens,

Hold Meeting

Today

Maryville college was privileged Fri-
day and Saturday of this week to be
the host of the thirty-second meeting
of the Tennessee Philological associa-
tion. The meeting was opened at 9:30
Friday morning in Thaw hall by presi-
dent H. J. Bassett of Southwestern,
brother of Miss Bassett of the Mary-
ville faculty.

Many of the college students at-
tending found some of the papers too
deep in technical scholarship for them
to appreciate fully. Dr. E. R. Hunter's
discussion of "Maxwell Anderson's Use
of Verse" was highly interesting and
one of the most informative papers
read. Among other things he said was
"It is grand, it is pretty, but is it
poetry?" Charles S. Pendleton of
George Peabody college made timely
remarks on modern education with
emphasis on research, saying that much
of it was done with no more valid pur-
pose than to keep positions. Mrs. Helen
Shine's report, "Some Possibilities of
Microphotography as an Aid to Re-
search" gave information on a vital
new factor of modern scholarship, the
principle used in the Microfilm reader,
which H. G. Wells mentions as an aid
to the foundation of a common world-
library.

Among the thirty twenty-minute
papers was a wide variety of subjects:
French, German, and Mexican litera-
ture of today; research in Sterne, Latin,
New England puritanism, Victorianism,
Plato, and Semantics.

At eight o'clock Friday evening, Ed-
win S. Lindsay of the University of
Chattanooga conducted a program in
the chapel on "The Music of Ben Jon-
son's Songs." Several Maryville stu-
dents took part in this program.

The meeting also included a gather-
ing of the Tennessee chapter of the
American Association of Teachers of
French, Saturday morning.

Night Watchman Here To Watch, But C B. R. Tradition Persists

By GEORGE HUNT

It was a moonlight night, but it was
late. A figure came stealing furtively
out of Pearsons hall. She looked anxi-
ously around her, afraid of whom she
might see. She also looked ahead and
saw in the shadows of a large tree a
form barely visible. This was the per-
son she was looking for, and going up
to him, she whispered with suppress-
ed emotion as she grabbed his arm,
"Let's go before the night watchman
sees us."

This is a good beginning for a story,
except that it is also the ending. For
the Juliet of our true life drama had
met Ralph Irwin instead of the col-
lege Romeo who had proposed the
tryst — and it is impossible for a man
to literally get away from himself. He
tells the story now with much pleasure,
and calls it the funniest experience he

has had in his seventeen years as
guardian of the Maryville campus.

Most students do not know Ralph
Irwin, because he is around the cam-
pus only at night. To some he is a
myth, a legendary character about
whom many tales, some true and some
false, have been woven. Many students
have no desire to see or be seen by Mr.
Irwin, but to others it is a mark of
distinction to triumphantly report to
the roommate, after a breathless dash
from Memorial foliage to Carnegie's
fourth floor, that "Ralph caught us to-
night." It provides the excitement that
looking through a knothole at a base-
ball game used to give coupled with
the disappointment and chagrin that
is felt by having your girl's father
coming for you at your first party with
the girl (remember?) Both times you
cursed the forces that kept the course
of true love from running smoothly,

except that in the present case the
action is probably more literal than
figurative. But it is a distinction, and
you become an official member of the
CBR (Caught by Ralph.)

However, may I correct your im-
pressions. Ralph Irwin is not the ogre
that innocent freshmen are led to be-
lieve him to be. And his job is not to
sneak around the campus and catch
students in some infringement of the
rules in our compendium. He does not
jump out from behind a tree or bush
and scare a girl into throwing her arms
around her boy friend's neck (though
that might not be such a bad idea).
As he says, "Students are the least of
my worries." His job is to be night
watchman of the campus, not the stu-
dents. He makes the rounds of the
campus and woods, not to spy on stu-
dents, but to protect them and the col-
lege equipment from prowlers. He

watches the dormitories, not expressly
to see who might sneak out, but to
watch out for fires and thieves.

Speaking of thieves reminds Ralph
of the time someone stole the silverware
from Pearsons dining hall. He hap-
pened to be in another part of the
campus; and some felons got in the
darkened hall and, gathering all the
silverware from the tables, carried it
away. For four days students had to
bring their own cutlery to meals. The
knives, forks, and spoons were re-
turned in the night and put on the
kitchen porch, but the ministerial
students who committed tl.e heinous
crime had chosen April 2 to be fools
instead of the day set aside for them.

For a few years when he first be-
came employed by the college, Ralph
Irwin lived in an apartment in Memor-
ial hall. He is now married and lives
on a farm in the country.

Three motion picture reels were
shown in the chemistry lecture room
after supper Wednesday evening. The
first reel demonstrated the right and
wrong use of the new tackling appara-
tus purchased for the football team
with comments and explanations by
Coach Honaker. A reel of the Ten-
nessee-Alabama and Tennessee-Van-
derbilt game taken by Mr. A. D. Hud-
dleston were also shown. Many of the
pictures were in technicolor and
especially good were those of the
bands. The final reel was of bird dogs
and hunting taken at the Huddleston's
mountain lodge.

Wicklund And Marx In
Hospital During Week

Clayton Marx has been transferred
from Carson's hospital to the College
hospital where he is recovering from
a recent appendicitis operation. Nina
Clark was lately discharged from the
hospital after suffering an attack of
appendcitis. Rusty Wicklund spent
a few days in the hospital early this
week which prevented his participating
in the swimming meet at Chattanooga
Tuesday. He is recovered sufficiently
to attend classes.

Campus Workers Put
Sod On Golf Course

The campus workers put several
loads of dirt and sod on the golf course
and other parts of the campus lawn
this week in an effort to improve the
quality of the grass. Also several new
garages are being constructed on pro-
perty off the campus by college labor.
These projects, as well as a large
amount of routine work, are carried on
as a part of the student help program.

Signs of the Times

Bu OTTO PFLANZE

An a variation from the usual diet, guest colunuuV
Arnold Kramer presents his short story, "A Mountain
Ballad." The story is based on an idea that appeared in
♦be Saturday Evening Post.

Unprecedented interest in student affairs has been
shown in the reaction to the proposal that class attend-
ance for seniors be made optional at Maryville college.

The Highland Echo conducted a poll concerning the
option and published its findings in the issue of February
19. The results in a brief form are as follows: Students-
For, 487; Against, 76; For, with restrictions, 18; Indifferent
or undecided, 13; Faculty-For, 12; Against, 5; No state-
ment, 6.

Students who are generally considered campus
leaders were practically unanimous in their favor of the
plan. One of the leaders, who admitted that he never takes
all of his cuts under the present system, opposed the option
on the ground that he would never study if he were not
required to attend classes regularly. We contend that a
person who can make an average of 8.5 at Maryville
college doesn't need a guardian to tell him when to study
and when to nap.

Some of the criticisms of the plan were good, but
some showed lack of judgement. One person told a group
that we could just as well give students credit for a course
merely by letting them sign up for it. The system of op-
tional class attendance for those who are advanced enough
to handle is educationally sound, and is not to be con-
fused with this bit of crack-pot criticism.

A slight, indirect criticism was brought against the
Echo that our poll among faculty members was too secret.
Some of the professors requested that their names not be
used, and we thought it best to withhold all names. We
have the record, however, and will be glad to tell how
any faculty member voted — with his permission of course.

The larger responsibility in a plan of this type is
obviously with the students, and so it should be. It is our
own brains we are stuffing or starving. Perhaps a few
seniors would find themselves at a loss by being forced
to do their own thinking, but the rest would be greatly
benefitted.

We believe that individual scholarship would be
increased in the upper two-thirds of the class, although
there might be a few more failures in the lower group.
Here we would like to ask whether a college degree should
be given to all who apply or to those alone who show
ability enough to obtain it.

Next week the executive council of the faculty will
hold a meeting and it is to be expected that this pro-
posed system, in which so many students and faculty have
indicated a great interest, will come up for discussion.
Whatever the outcome, The Echo feels that the matter will
be considered and treated in a conscientious manner.

K**ock. Knock.

"'iime in."

Tbe door of a small cabin swings open, and a small

'ndernourished man carrying an armful of papers enter?

Fe glances hurriedly about the room and sees in the far

Timer an old, rough-looking man smoking a pipe. Walk

.iig over to him, he sticks out his hand, and speaks in tht

apid-fiie style of a salesman.

Hello, mister. My name's Kennedy. Shake."

••Why?" drawls the mountaineer.

"Well-1-1, I don't exactly know why, but I know
you're supposed to. Oh well, skip it. Let's get down to bust
ness. Now — Hey! Where you going?"

•'1 don't know. I'll send my good-fer-nujhin' son tl
speak with you."

*****

Mr Kennedy stares disgustedly for a moment at
tne door through which the mountaineer has disappeareo.
a.id then another rough-looking character walks through
tie door.

Air you still breathing, mister?" asked this secona
mountaineer.

"Sure. Am I not supposed to be?'

"Maybe yes, and maybe no. When they's a stranger
about, Paw usually shoots first and talks later. Well, what's
itching you, buddy?"

"I'm from the Census Bureau of the United States
government, and I want to check on your family. If you'll
help me. Til certainly appreciate it, because I've got to
hurry on down to the next house."

"Brother, if I'se you, I wouln't go donw that-a-way."

"Why?"

"They's trouble brewing 'twixt us Martins and them
Tollivers. Anyway, I can number the Tollivers for you."

"Well, I-I-"

"They was seventeen Tollivers and nineteen Martins
at the last countin'."

They were discussing the irritability

have had insufficient sleep the night
before. "And," asked Dr. Briggs, "what
happens when a teacher goes to class
with only five hours sleep?"

"He pops a quiz," muttered Shelter
mournfully.

Studying English 'ognates of Ger-
man words is an interesting waste of
time— In "Teig" you easily see the
English "dough" (at least der Profes-
sor says you do)— merely change the
"t" to "d," the "ei" to "ou," and add
"h" to the end; the rest of the word
remains exactly the same. 'Simple?
And in "der Fuhrer" you can easily
see "perfect leader"— just change ar-
rogance to humility, selfish ambition
to service, hate to love, failings to
virtues — apparently we've been mis-
judging the man— by all the rules of
cognates he's a fine, upstanding crea-
ture—

Funny how everybody over here gets
all worked up about the European dic-
tators— Wonder of the preachers and
after-dinner speakers and college soph-
omores in Germany and Italy lose any
Sleep worrying about the iron-fisted
dictator in Maryville college's music
department? —

Such conscientiousness as Curt-
marie Brown's shames us: An even-
ing prayer meeting was held during the
recent epidemic of final exams— Curt
was shocked— "That's every bit as bad
as cramming!"

All we know is that Hugh Smith
crammed Emily Post's Blue Book the
day before his date for First Lady-
Monday before last Brink was in-
vited by an air station in the neigh-
boring metropolis to compete in the
semi-finals of an amateur contest —
but Frank stoutly declined— His sense
of professional courtesy wouldn't al-
low him to make a public appearance
the same night as John Charles
Thomas— Thomas had come too far to
be disappointed by a small audience-
Lots of these super-tolerant people
who "approach everything with open
minds'^-depart with the same mental
emptiness.

Stage Crews
Do Dirty Work

BY JOHN FISHER

There is on the college hill one
group of fellows of whose activity little
is known. They are the stage-crew, or
as they often call themselves, the "BtageT
screw." Maybe they aren't so far wrong
at that. They are the men behind the
scenes at every play. All you know
about them is a list of names on the
program, but maybe they haven't
worked to get those names on the pro-
grams!

About two weeks before the play
the stage-manager sends out an SOS,
and that night the crews gather in
the chapel to start to work. If there is
something on in the evening, they wait
till it's over. For the first two or three
nights they knock off work at a decent
hour, say 12 or 12:30; but as the time
shortens, and. as they begin to realize
how much they really have to get done
their hours lengthen to 2 or 3 A.M.
Even then they don't finish on time.
Last year they were nailing on hinges
for the third act of "The Purple Mask"
while the second was in progress. Some
of the audience wondered why horses
were approaching during the love
scene, but for the most part the ham-
mering went unnoticed.

And then there was "Craig's Wife."
Two of the crew were painting a last
flat as the house was filling. It dried
off in time for the curtain — nearly, any-
way. Maybe the whiffs of hot air al-
ways prevalent behind scenes just be-
fore a play are to be thanked for that.

There are times when the work is
just a little too hard. When the "Mi-
kado" was presented in Knoxville last
March the crew worked from 1:30 in
the afternoon till 3 the next morning,
solid time. First they set the stage, then
they attempted, rather futiley, to keep
the chorus quiet backstage during the
performance. After it was over they
packed the scenery and brought it
home.

About the same gang has staged
every play in the last two years; so
here's to them. May their hours grow
shorter, and their time for scene
changes not grow longer.

Seven Men Enroll In

Handicapped Students

Not For Enlightenment

From "The Teacola," Jacksonville
State Teachers college publication, we
borrow the following which we hope
will not enlighten too many young
men:
"I took her to a night club,

I took her to a show,
I took her almost everywhere
A girl and boy could go.
I took her to a swell dance,

I took her to a tea;
When all my dough was gone I saw

She had been taking me."

For Fifty Cents

At the University of South Carolina,
every spring a self-styled disciple of
Shakespeare, who is a vagabond actor,
presents for the Shakespeare class
various scenes. Upon finishing he re-
quests only fifty cents and with this
as an inducement returns each spring.

The ABC Of Living

"A department of manners — the first
in a public supported university — has
been created at Hunter college," says
the Dickinsonian. "It will be known as
the ABC of Living, or Conservation

toms."

Poetic Genius

Some poetic genius on the Ward-
Belmont Hyphen composed the follow-
ing:

"I bought a wooden whistle— but it

I bought a steel whistle — and steel

So I bought a tin whistle — now I tin
whistle."

Add these, also from Ward-Belmont,
to your hit parade:

"Once In a While"— We give the boys

"Afraid To Dream"— In English class.

"Vieni, Vieni, Vieni"— Too bad I

Long Sufferer

Here is a short questionnaire from'
the Tech Oracle:

"Are you an early-book-closer?
Are you a loose-leaf-binder zipper?
Are you a paper crumpler?
Are you a squirmer?

If not you must inevitably be a long
sufferer.

The long-sufferer is a pathetic crea-
ture. It is he who loses the gist of
the professors' lectures, misses the
next day's assignment or cannot hear
the instructions for a coming quiz.

Long-sufferer, you must arise! You
must assert yourself! You must de-
mand your rights to listen to class
lectures! You must trample down these
students who would block your every
attempt to learn!"

Are you a long-sufferer? Let's hope
not!

BOONE'S TREE— Until 1916, there
stood on Boone's Creek near Johnson
City, a large beech tree, which from
the inscription "D. Boone cilled a Bar
on tree 1760" was called Daniel Boone's
Tree. Some historians think Boone
was here some years before that time.
A bronze marker has been placed on
the site of this old tree.

Seven men of the college, musically
handicapped in that they are unable
to carry a tune, have enrolled in a
laboratory class under Professor Ralph
Colbert to analyze their case.

The class will meet once a week, and
during that hour these seven men will
be placed under theoretical musical
microscopes in an endeavor to find out
the cause for their inability. It is hoped,
through these weekly experiments, to
teach each one to carry a tune in or-
der that he might do voice or instru-
mental work.

The class will be an experiment by
Professor Colbert to see if this handi-
cap is something that can be overcome
by a study of the underlying causes.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 5, 1938

Progress of a light nature has been made this
week by the two dozen gridmen and would-be gridmen go
ing through the motions on the practice field.

Its not very strenuous, though, this spring foot-
ball program. Being revived this year after a long lapse
the between-seasons work may become a regular part of
the preparation for the fall schedule. Whether or not it
will be continued depends largely on the results of the cur-
rent activity.

Very little has been done by the squad so far. The
large number of new men, who are just getting into the
swing of things before their more experienced comrades
get a whack at them, prevents any really serious applica-
tion of coaching strategy.

The large scale production of football beef now
popular in all the larger institutions of higher learning
and big gate receipts is of course not to be considered in
a school Maryville's size. Whereas the universities are
now figuratively probing the tummies of their athletes to
see if they are tough enough to stay on the payroll, Scot
coaches are encouraging more of the boys to come out now
and absorb a few fundamentals.

Which is all as it should be, since we win just as
many and probably have a lot more fun.

ANOTHER ONE GONE

Each year, it seems, the Scot hoopsters lose an
outstanding performer from their ranks. Two seasons
ago it was Jack Overly ; last spring it was Lee Hannah, all-
conference center. This time it's John "Junior" Odell, that
most nonchalant of athletes, who closed his cage career in
the best story book manner Monday night. His twelve
points led the way to a final SMC win over the Tusculum
Pioneers. And in addition to the six shots that found the
hoop, numerous others nimbly rolled out to deprive Cap-
tain Odell of further honors.

It was a fitting end to a college record that has
shown brilliant play at times, and always a brand of bas-
ketball that was valuable to the team.

For a long time the Scots have looked bad when
Odell was off, and have displayed championship form
when the captain was at the peak of his game. A team
misses a guy like that.

Scots Seek Win In
Return Swim Tues.

Hilditch And Akana Take
First in 'Nooga Loss

Chattanooga's YMCA swimming team
defeated Maryville's tankmen in the
Y pool in Chattanooga on March 1.

Maryville's squad was decidedly
weakened by sickness, principally colds,
but despite this disadvantage the Scot-
ties were rather hard to submerge.
Wicklund and Stafford, both main
stays of the team, were numbered
among the disabled.

Hilditch came through again to take
high scoring honors with first in the
two free style prints, for a total of
ten points. Akana also took first in the
breast stroke and second in the 400-
yard event.

Maryville's squad gets another
chance at the men from Chattanooga
next Tuesday in the Scotty pool.
Maryville's men are counting on squar-
ing the score at this return meet, and
unless something happens, they may do
it.

Scots Register Last
Win Of 1938, 44-27

The Maryville Highlanders won their
final game of the basketball season
last Monday night when they defeated
Tusculum 44-27. The Scotties easily
showed their superiority over the visi-
tors; although the Scots only had a six
point lead at the half, they were never
seriously threatened.

Captain Odell, playing his last game
for the Highlanders, was high point
man for the evening, scoring a total
of 12 points. Not only was Odell the
offensive star for the night, but he was
alos a thorn in the side of Tusculum
on the defense.

MERE RUMOR

In our most authentic tabloid manner we offer
the following for better or worse:

Scotty Donaldson, after a few days of rough and
tumble on the football field, is entertaining a severe case
of fractured proboscis— busted beak in the vernacular—

his fourth this year

From a trusted undercover source we pluck this
dainty delicacy. Appolo Chandler is no more; henceforth
it's Robert Taylor Chandler. Seems he was at the ball
game and— but it's really a long story. Come around in
person or write the society desk for further intimate in-
formation,

Joe Swift has given up the placid existence of an
assistant manager to heed the call of the cinder path. Un-
beknownst to Joe, who fancied himself a retired athlete,
someone showed Coach Robert Thrower the Swift clip-
pings, collected when Joe ran a ten second hundred in high
school. So now it's the comeback trail for Joe. He just
couldn't escape the Thrower pressure

And as we go to press the grapevine ticks out the
dire news that Russ "The Unexcelled" Colombo has been
signed by the New York Celtics for 1939 delivery. Which
proves conclusively that something should be done about
those predatory beasts, the professional scouts who
simply will not allow even a fairly phenomenal athlete
to pursue the even tenor of his way and finish his educa-
tion. Don't you do it, Russ.

In sad review of the wrestling season
so unhappily completed last Saturday
little need be said except that times
have been pretty hard this year in the
grappling industry.

The Highlander sports flag pole, for
the first time in about eight years,
will not ly the baner o supremacy in
state mat circle this spring. It's new
feeling and a bitter one to Scot fans
who are unaccustomed to such ad-
versity; but it's over now and open to
cool and unbiased review, if any.

All unaware of the dire catastrophe
awaiting them the Scots confidently
attacked the much-kicked-about
Knoxville YMCA team in the opening
meet. The final score was 17 1-2 to
16 1-2. Astles, Meares, and Propst
secured falls for the Scots, but none
of the other boys could come through
with any points except Fred Tulloch,
who salvaged one and a hal in the
heavyweight mixup. It was the first
loss to a YMCA team in within the
memory even of Captain Renfro.

The second meet, a loss to the Van-
derbilt Commodores, was more of the
same. Improvement began to make
itself evident, but there wasn't enough
of it. Fleming, chubby Vanderbilt
heavyweight, pinned Tulloch to cinoh
the decision.

Still a little dazed by the sudden de-
velopments, the Highlanders dropped
their third engagement to the North
Carolina State Wolfpack, one of the
most potent teams in a state noted for
good college wrestlers. This time the
count was 23 1-2 to 4 1-2. Tulloch won,
the heavy clash to give Maryville her
only victory. Propst was held to a
draw by Leggett o State in a match

which ended in a questionable decision.

Two weeks later, in a return meet
at Vanderbilt the Highlanders gained
a measure of revenge when they held
the Middle Tennesseans to a 14-14
draw. With a few of the long awaited
breaks they might have broken into
the win column in this one.

And then came the dawn; on the
week following, our boys came through
with a very welcome and convincing
win over Tennessee's Vols, 27 to 3.
The Vols were whitewashed through
the first seven exhibitions and were
severly humiliated by the aroused
Scotties.

A trip into Appalachian Teachers'
territory set the local grapplers back
in the red, however. The score was
25-0 and the details too gory to men-
tion. Let's skip it.

Win number two then came up
when Tennessee again was flattened
in easy fashion. The Scots proclaimed
a field day and then proceeded to

The call for trackmen, issued by
Coach Robert C. Thrower this week,

WOMEN'S SPORT

On Tuesday of last week the soph-
omore speedball team of the women's
point system defeated the junior-
senior team 10-2. This was the last
game in the speedball tournament
which was won by the freshmen who
•took both of their games.

Baseball practice will begin en
Thursday and the tournament will be
played in the middle of March.

With one more basketball season
finished, it is the duty of the scribe to
dig back into the old score-book and
gather together figures and facts re-
garding the past season.

The Highlanders have played 20
games this year, 12 of these being
Smoky Mountain Conference games,
and 8 of them being non-conference
games. The Scotties won six and lost
six of their SMC games, and they also
won half of the eight exhibitions.

One of the teams the Scots encount-
ered during the past season was the
famous Marshall quintet. Marshall, who
defeated the Tennessee Vols this year*
has on their list of scalps the tang fs-
lahd University team, who is always1
regarded as one of the leading basket-
ball teams of the country.

Howard Magill, flashy forward, leads
in the individual scoring for the sea-
son, having made 105 field goals and
30 fouls, for a total of 240 points. This-
gives Magill an average of 12 points
per game. Weldbn Baird madjt 52
field goals and 23 fouls for a total of
127 points, to hold second scoring1
honors for the season. The team as a
whole outscored their opponents 811>-
783. Maryville scored an average df '
40.5 points per game, while their op-
ponents made an averager of 39.1 points
per game.

One of the features of the season
was the defeating of Carson- Newman, "
age old foes of the Scotties. This waft '
the first time in two years that Mary-
ville has been able to defeat the strong *
Eagle team.

Individual Scoring—

thoroughly enjoyed. |

school to the great masters of English
prose and poetry and, as her students
and friends all know, the result was
a mind and spirit richly stored and
vibrantly alive with the best and hap-
piest thoughts of the best and happiest
minds.

Book Fund Started

In 1929, as a landmark at the end
of a quarter of a century of English
teaching at Maryville, a number of
Mrs. Alexander's former students join-
ed in a memorial fund for the pur-
chase of a collection of books to be
known as the Jane B. S. Alexander
Memorial Collection in the Maryville
collgge library. Approximately five
hundred persons from all over tVie
world contributed one dollar each to
this fund, and at the Alumni Dinner
in June, 1929, this memorial was
formally presented in her honor. These
books remain one of the valued pnrts
of a richly developing library.

In 1934, Mrs. Alexander retired from
active teaching at the College, but in
the years since as well as always be-
fore, she maintained an active part
in the women's club work of the com-
munity. Mrs. Alexander's group in the
Chilhowee club, whether its subject
was Shakespeare, or Browning, or
Modern drama, or Modern poetry, was
always in more than a nominal sense
her group, profitting endlessly from
her careful knowledge and trustworthy
estimate of the materials of study. Her
interest in her club manifested itself
also, and most strong, in a practical
and lasting interest in the Maryville
Public Library as well as in other
community enterprises.

Interested In Browning

Mrs. Alexander's chief literary in-
terest was in the poetry of Robert
Browning, with whose clean optimism
and lofty faith her own mind found
ready kinship. But all literature and
all beauty was her province. Those who
knew her best caught this from her
by a fine contagion of spirit and are
the richer and better for it.

The funeral service was held Thurs-
day afternoon at 2:30 at New Provi-
dence Presbyterian church with Drs.
John A. McAfee, Ralph W. Lloyd, and
W. T. Bartlett in charge.

less Knoxvillians unmercifully. The
score was 22 1-2 2to 9 1-2.

The nightcap, staged with the Appa-
lachian marauders as guest artists, was
another one of those things better
forgotten than analyzed. They won 10-

Final result — nine meets, three wins,

The audience was well pleased with
the last act, because it was swift-moving
and potent enough to offset the near-
disappointment in the former part,
when, despite the lively thrusts at cur-
rent foibles the audience could not
help a small feeling that things were
not going off with exactly the pro-

Folk Ballads Combine
Universal Favorites
In Music And Stories

Folk ballads, from the middle ages
to the present, have delighted many a
group of listeners with the combination
of two universal favorites, music and
stories. From childhood to old age
the melodies of folk ballads and the
tales of Robin Hood, kings and queens,
fairy folk, humorous incidents, domes-
tic tragedies, and Biblical tradition,
have found eager listeners, who were
always glad to hear, and willing to re-
peat their favorites.

In addition to the musical appeal,
ballads hold the attention because
they tell stories and are filled with
dramatic events. We all enjoy listen-
ing in on a conversation, and ballads
contain much effective dialogue. We
like pictures, and ballads have a defi-
nite scene or setting, which we can
easily visualize as the action takes
place. Finally, ballads have a simplicity
and naturalness of expression that
charm when more complicated struc-
tures like the epic fail to arouse our
enthusiasm.

BALLADS IN TENNESSEE
The English and Scottish popular
ballads, some of which are as old as
the fourteenth centry, have such ex-
cellent qualities that they have been
handed down orally to people living
in America today. One hundred and
five have been found in the United
States; of these thirty-seven were
found in -Tennessee. Among these are
"Barbara Allen," "Lord Lovel," and
"The Hangman's Tree," all widely
known over the United States. Ten-
nessee also has several that are very
rare, for example, "Sir Patrick Spens"
and "Robin Hood and Little John."

The term "popular" has nothing to
do with the present or past popularity
of a ballad, but for want of a better
word is used to describe ballads that
originated anonymously among the folk
and that were transmitted orally, from
ballads that were composed by defi-
nite authors and are literary rather
than folk ballads. The term "popular"
also sets off the folk ballads that are
distinctly superior in the characteris-
tics already pointed out from the folk
ballads that the second-rate because
they lack some of or most of the
characteristics of excellence.

Oddities In the History of Tennessee, I
Gleaned from the Fdes of the Ameri- ,
can Guide, Federal Writers' Project,
WPA, Nashville, Tennessee.

OLD ELM— This tree which stands on
the Rotherwood estate near Kingsport,
was mentioned in Dr. Thomas Walker's
diary in 1748, as having a trunk cir-
cumference of 25 feet. It is one of the
twelve trees mentioned in the Hall of
Fame for trees in the National Forestry
Department and though grown much
larger, it is rapidly decaying, notwith-
standing the efforts of tree surgeons

to save it.

• • •

TREATY OAK— A large oak in Chero-
kee Park, Nashville, known as Treaty
Oak has a trunk diameter of 6 feet.
It was the site of the most memorable
conference in the history of Middle
Tennessee. In June, 1783, Indian chiefs
and white leaders, headed by James
Robertson, sat beneath the spreading
branches of this tree and smoked the

pipe of peace.

• • • •

GIANT CHESNUT— Near Cosby on the
Sevier-Cooke County lines, is the fal-
len trunk of a giant chesnut tree which
measures 12 feet in diameter and 35
feet in circumference. Near this tree
are two giant grapevines that show
primeval growth; one 5 feet in cir-
cumference and the other 2 feet, and

both bear an abundance of fruit yearly.

SPENCER'S TREE— Thomas Sharp
Spencer, an early explorer in the
Bledsoe region (Castilian Springs),
lived in the hollow of one of Ten-
nessee's largest trees in 1776. It was a
sycamore tree 30 feet or more in cir-
cumference, with a hollow chamber
that measured 11 feet across. Although
Spencer was an unusually large man,
he could walk upright in it.

Formal Dinner Thursday
Features College Grads

Thursday evening preceding the
operetta, Iolanthe, there will be a for-
mal dinner. The program will feature
a 15 minute skit by Bob Claflin and
Andy Alexander, former graduates and
residents of Maryville. Those perform-
ers are well known by Maryville stu-
dents, having appeared at previous
social functions. The decorations carry-
ing out the idea of St. Patrick's day are
in charge of Alpha Sigma and Theta.

One of the most important Y.M.C.A.
cabinet meetings of the year was held
last Monday evening in the Y.W.
rooms. Reports were received from
the committees, and plans were initia-
ted for the annual retreat of the Y.M.
and Y.W.C.A. cabinets held in tho
spring each year.

A nominating committea was e!ocL°d
to propose the? data of office s w! jh
will be vo.cd upon on April 5. '-he
committee cc.iiv . of 'V % oers

of the cabinet and c .> ■ n '• a each
of the four classes, iudicoiin Brown
was elected chairman of the committee.

The retreat this year will be hand-
led by a joint committee from the two
Christian associations. Men members
of the committee were chosen, two
appointed by President Minear and
one elected by the cabinet.

It was reported that there are two
hundred and twelve men enrolled as
members of the Young Men's Christian
Association. Monday night was the
last time new members could be taken
in in time for the April election of
officers.

Following the business meeting, girls
of the Y.W. served light refreshments
to the men.

Paper On Weaving
Read By Armstrong

At the faculty club meeting Monday
evening, Miss Mary Armstrong read a
paper, "The Art of Weaving." In her
paper Miss Armstrong described the
development of weaving through the
years. She told of the economic value
of weaving, in addition to its value
as a beautiful and creative art.

The Pi Beta Psi Fraternity School of
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, was mentioned
in the paper. Miss Armstrong taught
in this school for a time, and learned
the patterns and designs.

In addition to reading her paper,
Miss Armstrong exhibited some hand
woven materials, some of which she
wove hsrMlf; others of which she bor-
rowed from the Pi Beta Psi Fraternity
School of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, where
she taught at one time. In the exhibit
were ties, scarfs, collar and cuff sets,
blankets, household linens, and cover-
lets.

Miss Armstrong emphasized the fact
that weaving is an art that all of us
can enjoy even though most of us
can not do it ourselves.

Dr. Orr Will Address
Y.W.C.A. This Week

The Y.W.C.A. this week will pre-
sent a guest speaker to the women of
the college. Dr. H. E. Orr, head of the
department of Bible and Religious
education, will address them on the
subject, "Keeping Astride with Christ."
A solo will be special music for the
program.

The Vesper speaker for Sunday
evening will be President James Mc-
Dowell Richards of Columbia Theo-
logical seminary, located at Decatur,
Georgia. Dr. Richards is coming to
Maryville college chiefly to talk with
the men of the college who plan to en-
ter the ministry, but President Lloyd,
asked him to speak also at the ves-
per service. Dr. Richards will speak
at 5:00 Sunday afternoon to the Minist-
erial association, and to the Student
Volunteer group after vespers. Presi-
dent Richards was at Maryville col-
lege last year, and spoke to the stu-
dents. Several Maryville students have
attended Columbia Seminary. Among
those who have graduated there are,
William and John Talmage, and James
R. Smith.

Reverend B. B. Lavender, pastor of
the Graystone Presbyterian church in
Knoxvilie, will be the speaker at the
Wednesday morning chapel service
next week. Mr. Lavender is known to
many of the students through the work
that he has done at Summer confer-
ences at Maryville and elsewhere. Mr.
Lavender was to have spoken at Mary-
ville earlier in the year, but he post-
poned his visit so that Dr. Howard
Moody Morgan, who was conducting a
series of meetings in Knoxvilie, might
come to us.

This evening about fifty Maryville
students will attend the Nelson Eddy
concert in the auditorium of the Knox-
vilie Central Methodist church. Mr.
Eddy is the last artist to appear on
the Knoxvilie Concert series this year.

The Maryville students will leave
the campus in two chartered busses.
Several faculty members are taking
cars.

Announcement of Mr. Eddy's appear-
ance caused a record-breaking ticket
sale. Seats for the concert were sold
out months in advance.

Workshop Reverts To
Old System Of Filing
Original Manuscripts

At the weekly meeting Monday
afternoon, members of the Writers'
workshop voted to change the pre-
sent method of filing manuscripts read
before the organization.

Since 1932, the five best writings of
each semester have been selected for
the permanent file. Previously all
manuscripts read were filed. It was
thought advisable by the members to
revert to the older plan. Thus copies
of each piece of writing read in the
Workshop will be placed on file in
the College library.

Freshman Debate Tourney

Sponsored By Maryville

Teams, Mar. 25 and 26

Faculty Alumni Prominent As Maryville Students

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in
a series of articles by staff research
reporters Woolf and Pflanze on mem-
bers of the faculty who are graduates
of the college. Other articles will ap-
pear in future issues.

By TOMMY WOOLF
(In Collaboration With Otto Pflanze)

Stowed away in the recesses of the
safety vault in Anderson hall among
other college records are yearly copies
of the Chilhowean which have been
accumulating there since 1907. The
faded pictures and inscriptions that
they contain could no doubt bring
back a great many memories to Mary-
ville graduates who have long since
received their diplomas. There are,
however, several of those annuals
which contain names not unfamiliar
to students now attending the college.
In fact, no less than sixteen faculty
members have their pictures in those
annuals as former members of the

student body.

Probably the most versatile of all
Maryville graduates who have become
faculty members in their Alma Mater
is Dr. Ralph W. Lloyd, who received
his diploma in 1915 and at that time
resided in Fort Duchesne, Utah. The
"Rabbi" seemed to have a peculiar
knack for getting elected to prominent
offices, for he was not only president
of his freshman class and secretary -
treasurer of his junior class, but he
held at various times the offices of
president, vice-president, and secre-
tary of Alpha Sigma and was treasurer
of the Y.M.C.A. Dr. Lloyd also went
in for his share of athletics by making
the football squad for two years, the
basketball team for four years, and the
tennis team for three years. He was
alos captain of the basketball team for
two years.

Professor George D. Howell, head
of the Chemistry department, took part
in many campus activities while a stu-
dent on the Hill. He was particularly

outstanding as a track man, and for
a number of years he held the mile
record for Maryville athletes. In fact,
he was so speedy that the Chilhowean
of 1922 describes him with these words:
"He's always in a hurry."

Professor Verton M. Queener proved
that he is well-fitted for the job he
now holds, that of debate coach, by
participating in intercollegiate debates
during all four of his years at Mary-
ville, and he was elected president
of Pi Kappa Delta in 1923. He was also
president of the Law club, president of
Athenian, treasurer of the Y.M.C.A.,
editor of the Highland Echo, president
of the Student Council, and business
manager of the Chilhowean. Professor
Queener certainly belived in doing
things in a big way.

"Pay up" was the motto of mathe-
maatics Professor Walker according to
the 1909 annual. An Alpha Sigma. Mr.
Walker was manager of the track team
and assistant manager of the Boarding

New Officers Of Club

Assume Their Duties

The new officers of the Triangle
club took up their duties at the meet-
ing held in Bainonian hall Monday
evening. The officers are as follows:
Clyde Powell, president; Jessie Curtis,
vice president; Marion Garwood, secre-
tary; and {Catherine Davidson, trea-
surer.

Glenn Young reported that New
York had won the attendance contest,
and that the other two corners of the
triangle would give the New Yorkers
a party.

The members voted to change the
time of meeting from Monday even-
ing to Friday evening.

"Iolanthe," popular Gilbert and Sul-
livan operetta, will be given Thursday
evening at 8:15 in Voorhees chapel by
the combined glee clubs and tha Mary-
ville college little symphony orchestra,
under the direction of Ralph R. Col-
bert.

Nancy Quinn as Phyllis, the Arca-
dian shepherdess, and Ruth Wood in
the title role of the fairy Iolanthe will
take the leading feminine part; while
Dick Woodring as the Arcadian shep-
herd Strephon, and Edwin Goddard as
the Lord Chancellor sing opposite in
the prominent male roles.

Other members of the cast are Har-
riet Barber, the Queen of the Fairies;
John Magill, Lord Mountararat; Carl
Wells, the Earl of Tolloller; Harry Fer-
ran, private Willis; and Elizabeth Anne
Huddleston, Alice Prime, and Louise
Allen, the fairies Celia, Lelia, and
Fleta. The choruses are composed of
the men's and women's glee clubs, ac-
companied by the orchestra.

"Iolanthe, or the Peer and the
Peri" is a harmless and unmalicious
burlesque on the dignity of peers and
the British constitution. It was first
performed 56 years ago, opening simul-
taneously on New York and London
stages to secure international copy-
right. Owing to the difference in time,
the curtain rose five hours later here
than in England, and as the New York
audience filed into the old Standard
theatre, they were handed transcripts
of enthusiastic cablegrams describing
the success of "Iolanthe" overseas.

Clarence Day, writing in an Ameri-
can edition of the Gilbert and Sulli-
van operettas, gives an excellent ex-
planation of the psychology of these
inimitable and now world-famous
comic characters. "It is as though a
group of Englishmen became characters
in some Russian novel. They wfll find
themselves living in a fiercely emotion-
al country, and shouting and loving
and weeping with an un-English fury.
But, nevertheless, they wouldn't take
the thing as unrestraindly as the Rus-
sians. They would go through violent
ranges of feeling with an inner com-
posure. In the midst of despair, joy,
and hate, they'd have a calm spot
inside."

It is said that W. S. Gilbert, who
wrote the libretto, was fearful that
Americans might not have a clear
notion of British party methods, or
even the names of the British parties.
But he was much reassured to find
Republicans and Democrats recogniz-
ing their British counterparts and de-
lighting in the sentry's song:
I often think it's comical.

How nature always does contrive
That ev'ry boy and ev'ry gal.
That's born into this world alive,

Reading Classes Become
Established In College

The classes for improving reading
technique are becoming established as
a definite part of the college curricu-
lum. Maryville takes a place with the
comparatively few schools to adopt
this modern treatment of reading skill.

The four classes enrolling 145 fresh-
men, with a few upperclassmen, meet
for 30 minute periods of reading from
the Metronoscope, designed to form
the habit of rhythmical reading, and
thereby increasing speed and compre-
hension ability.

The class in experimental psychology
is gathering diagnostic data to be used
along with daily class records in guid-
ing and evaluating the course. Each
person enrolled has visual acuity and
hearing tested.

Last Saturday a group of fourteen
professors, teachers and principals from
the University of Tennessee, Knoxvilie,
and surrounding schools came to in-
vestigate the program. A group of the
representatives at the Tennessee philo-
logical association meeting held here
last week met Friday for an explana-
tion of the course.

Narrow Outlook

Or

Flippant Attitude

Maryville campus affords unusual opportunity for
participation in religious activities. Every student, if he
cared to, could identify himself with one of these activities,
either on the campus or in connection with a church in
town.

There is one group of students, most of whom have
dedicated their lives to some phase of religious work, which
forms the backbone of every religious organization on
the hill. The time and interests of this group are involved
in religious activities to the extent that many of them
know nothing about, or refuse to recognize certain other
aspects of campus life. They are developing a narrowed
outlook which may prove detrimental later on, particularly
if they expect to work with varied types of people.

On the other hand, there is a group who have adopt-
ed a rather cynical, flippant attitude toward religious
activities in general. It seems significant that a number
of these students were active in religious work at home.
They willingly took part in Young People's groups and
other church affairs. These students may not have changed
their fundamental beliefs since entering college, but they
do not give much outward indication that they possess
them. They actually become apologetic about their oc-
casional excursions to church or Sunday school.

It is unfortunate that these two groups cannot reach
a happy medium. Some studtnts have integrated their re-
ligious life with other campus activities, and have deve-
loped a well-rounded, wholesome attitude. The members
• of these groups as individuals and the campus as a whole
would undoubtedly benefit from an attempt at integration.

TVA Controversy

ON THE SURFACE the quarrel between TVA chair-
man, A. E. Morgan, and his fellow directors, Hareourt
Morgan and David Lilienthal, seems to be nothing more
or less than a lot of personal spite and vituperation. Be-
neath it all, however, there lies a fundamental difference
on government policy that means much to the American
public. A. E. Morgan believes in a policy of regulation,
the thing TVA was originally created for (so we were told).
Lilienthal and Hareourt Morgan, on the other hand, want
wholesale ownership of power utilities. In other words,
the chairman wants to* use a black jack, while the two
directors propose to use a machine gun.

A few weeks ago Wendell L. Wilkie, head of the
Commonwealth and Southern Corp., offered to sell out the
utility properties of the Corporation which have been af-
fected by TVA competition. Lilienthal, evidently with ad-
ministration backing, is pushing forward negotiations to
effect such a sale. It would seem, then, that Lilienthal and
Hareourt Morgan are to be the winners in this fight over
policy, and within a few weeks the government will have
several million dollars worth of utilities unloaded on its
hands.

But things won't stop there. Very soon other utility
companies will likewise find themselves unable to com-
pete with a government electric system that charges most
of its expenses away to navigation and flood control. They
too will throw up their hands and quit by selling out to
the all-powerful competitor. The end will find the govern-
ment deep in the morass of publicly owned utilities.

TALK OF THE WEEK . By Arlcnc Phelps

Exchange Notes

By Ruth Abercrombie

SOOTHING SUSIE SAYS

What Would Happen?

CAMPUS CALENDAR

NO ONE DENIES that the electric utility system
needs regulation. 88 percent of American farms are un-
electrified because the power companies are serving only
the more profitable areas. 80 percent of all electricity
generated is controlled by about six holding companies,
each dominant and monopolistic in its own field. As for
rates, Frederick M. Sackett, former American ambassador
to Germany, expresses it nicely, "I know of no other in-
dustry where the sale price of the product to the great
mass of consumers is fifteen times the actual cost of pro-
ducing the article sold." Yes, the electric utility system
needs government regulation, but certainly not govern-
ment ownership.

Much can be said about the graft and vices of the
present power system, but, on the other hand, much can
be said about the graft and vices of government. We have
had our railroad, armament, air mail, oil and countless
other scandals in the past and there is no assurance that
we won't continue to have them. A publicly owned electric
system might be free from graft and politics for a time, but
certainly not forever.

A. E. Morgan wants to regulate by the yardstick
method. He proposes the English Grid system of pooling
power resources with private companies. He believes in
determining a fair rate by measuring the cost in govern-
ment plants and forcing the utilities by means of regula-
tion to accept a fair return based on the cost.

As for the argument that regulation has failed, no
one can say it has been adequately tried in the electric
industry. The Federal Power Commission does not possess
half the power that railroad regulatory commissions have.
No one disputes the fact that the railroads are well re-
gulated. Give regulation a chance, and government owner-
ship will be unnecessary.

have persuaded her to give up pipe-

fun of it. But I can't get her to wear
shoes — even to church on Sunday.
Anxious
Dear Anxious:
Next time you're in church notice
how few of the women keep their
shoes on during the sermon. This
proves that women are a step further
down the biological scale of life than
are men. Like other lower animals,
women are unhappy and restless when
hampered by shoes.

Dear Aunt Susie:
In spite of the fact I'm fright-
fully handsome, have a charming per-

Social Institution

From the Tiger Rag of Southwestern
college we learn that 150 students at
the University of Minnesota signed a
petition against the tendency of stu-
dents to use the library for "social
purposes." Talking in the reading
rooms had reached the point that the
students themselves were protesting.
Establishment of a discussion room was
offered as a possible solution to the
problem.

Let's Have The Black Jack

OBSERVERS OF WORLD AFFAIRS like to specu-
late concerning the porbable fate of the Fascist dictator-
ships if Hitler and Mussolini should suddenly die. The ex-
istence of the totalitarian state revolves so completely
around the personality of one man that most people think
in terms of the ruler rather than of the country. The words
"Germany" and "Hitler," "Russia" and "Stalin," "Italy"
and "Mussolini" have practically become synonymous.
What would happen, then, if these dominant personalities
should suddenly be removed from the scene? Would the
dictatorships live on, or would revolution bring about a
change in government?

No one, of course, can answer such a question with
any great degree of certainty, but if the past is any cri-
terion of the future the answer is: Yes, the totalitarian
states would live on without reyolution or any major
changes in government. The reason for that assumption
is the fact that since the war four dictators have died
natural deaths or been assassinated, and in not one case
have their governments been unable to stay in power.

The first and most important of these dictators to
die was Nickolai Lenin in 1924. Stalin and Trotsky were
his most likely successors, and, since they were bitter
enemies, most Russians began to look for the storm cellar.
But the rivalry did not break out into open violence, and
in the end Trotsky was dismissed for infractions of party
discipline. Stalin stepped into the shoes of Lenin and has
remained there ever since.

Ten years later the dispatch wires once again hum-
med with the news of a dead dictator. In October, 1934,
King Alexander of Yugoslavia was assassinated at Mar-
seilles by a Croatian terrorist. The reins of government
were left in the incompetent hands of his eleven year old
son, Peter II. Nevertheless the dictatorship lived on, for the
boy's regents assumed power without opposition.

In July of the same year Engelbert Dollfuss bled
to death during an abortive Nazi putsch which at first
seemed likely to succeed. Schuschnigg, however, became
Chanceller and the Nazis were thrown into prison.

The fourth dictator to expire was Marshal Pilsudski
of Poland. He also had so entrenched himself in power
that his successor, General Ridz-Smigly, assumed the dic-
tatorship with little or no difficulty.

In view of these facts it is not difficult to ascertain
what would happen if Hitler were slain. The two most
prominent Nazis, with the exception of Hitler, are the
pompous Hermann Goering, recently made Marshal of
the German army, and the sly Dr. Goebbels, minister of
propaganda. The two are bitter enemies, because they know
the title, "Der Fuhrer," will develop upon one of them in
the event of Hitler's death. Just as in the case of Stalin
and Trotsky, either Goering or Goebbels, probably the
former, will gain control and the loser will flee the country.

Colbert And West Plan
For Program At Easter

Under the combined direction of
Mrs. Nita E. West and Ralph Colbert,
the choral club will have charge of a
sunrise service Easter morning in the
college woods' amphitheater. About 80

IOLANTHE

(Continued From Page One)
Is either a little Liberal,
Or else a little Conservative!
Sir Arthur Sullivan, composer of the
music for this and many other delight-
ful operettas, had occasion to demon-
strate considerable fortitude on the
opening night. Just before the cur-
tain rose, he was informed that his
entire fortune had been wiped out by
the failure of his bank. But he told no
one of his calamity and conducted the
orchestra as arranged.

Shortly before his death, Gilbert
made a final revision of his operas for
the publication of a new edition. In
"Iolanthe" he re-wrote six lines of
dialogue, added four, omitted seven,
and changed four words in the songs.
These alterations are followed in the
scores of the coming production.

Mr. Colbert is being aided in his
capable direction by Ellen Sauer, who
has created entirely new costumes for
the cast, and Maxwell Cornelius in
charge of the stage.

ALPHA SIGMA

Bainonian Literary society will hold
its regular meeting this evening in
Bainonian hall. Arda Walker and Em-
ma Jane Kramer will give readings.
Bernice Smith will conclude the pro-
gram with a piano solo.

"Night Must Fall"

Members of the alumni of the State
Teachers college Sock and Buskin club
are going to present in April the play,
"Night Must Fall," which has been
chosen by the Bainonian and Athenian
societies for their production this
spring.

is this inscription, "Recites well when
awake; but a nap he will take."

The last but by no means the least in
either size or importance comes Robert
Caperus Thrower of the class of '25.
Mr. Thrower was a letterman in prac-
tically every sport in which the col-
lege participated. He made the foot-
ball team four years, track team four
years, and basketball and baseball
teams one year. He was captain of the
football teams in '25 and vice-presi-
dent of the Athletic Board of Control
in '25. The shot-put record which Mr.
Thrower set while a student still re-
mains unbroken and probably has re-
mained intact longer than any other
college record. Mr. Thrower climaxed
his athletic career by being voted by
the student body as the best all-round-
man in Maryville college— a truly
great athlete.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 12, 1938

Add similes: as barren as the sports calendar at
Maryville this week.
WHAT TO DO?

Such "twilight zones" as this through which we
are now passing are restful enough to athlete and fan, but
hardly the proper ration for an already anemic sports
page.

With the winter activities long since departed
nd those of the spring yet to take definite form, little
can be said ; therefore good use must be made of these
little dots this week

Toil-worn Timber Toppers Get Relief

ANENT BASKETBALL

Interesting comment is that forthcoming from
Coaches Roy Mundorff, of Georgia Tech, and Adolph
.Rupp, of Kentucky, following the recent Southeastern
basketball torney.

Quoth Mundorff, in regard to the tournament
idea, "Just spectacles why not let the two top teams at
the end of the season play a series to decide the champion-
ship?" MundorfFs team just won said Southeastern
•'scramble in impressive fashion, too, mind you. In further
support of the argument Rupp adds, "Make every team
Iplay ten conference games, and arrange for the top team
to play the Southern conference winner."

Such a contention coming from Rupp is nothing
new; his teams are perennial regular season winners and
tournament losers. On the other hand, when a statement
pf that sort comes from the tutor of the champs you may
figure that there is something in the non-tourney plan.
At least it has been used most effectively by the Smoky
Mountain for many moons with uniformly happy result.

"What is food to one man may be
fierce poison to others." There is more
truth than poetry in them thar words.
Although there is some question as
to the status of the food that is meted
out daily at Pearson's, the issue before
us is not concerned with that subject
at all. The main thing that this article
is concerned with is a training table
for the hardworkin' track men.

It was rumored around that once in
the dim days of the past they had a
training table. There was only one
trouble, the food was the same at the
training table as elsewhere, except
that there was perhaps less. (We got
this information from a well-known
authority on the subject, and if anyone
wants to confirm this, call around at
the office anytime from three to five.)
It is a well known fact that bread is
the staff of life, but what about beans?
They are the crutches of life for the
trackman. And a trackman can't run
with crutches, at least some of them
can't. (P.S. Some of them look like
they do — it must be the food.)

Of course it is a well known fact
that Maryville is going to win the Con-
ference Championship this spring, but
some of the boys, in fact 26 of them
have signed a petition requesting the
sumptious repast of a training table,
feeling that in some vague way it
might help them to close the strings

"Didn't you know? Everybody's going out for track now!"

upon the sack that contains the cham-
pionship. The boys believe that better
foods leads to better digestion, and
better digestion leads to better run-
ning. Which in a way is correct. All of
our sympathies are with the track-
men, for we too must eat at the Din-
ing hall.

"Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal

a day;
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon

suction,
But, like the shark and tiger, must
have prey;

Although his anatomical construction
bears vegetables, in a grumbling
way,
Your laboring people think beyond all

question,
Beef, veal, and mutton better for
digestion."

—Byron

FROM UNDER THE BENCH

Further text from the pages of the work-for-
pay sports editors reveals that

The Smokies, neighboring professional entry,
have "bolstered their club's chances" by the asquisition of
Tom Oliver, outfield star of the International league. If
Oliver is as good a baseballer as he once was his purchase
it a distinct breach of established Smoky policy . The
Chattanooga club of the Southern association boasts a
Third Base Managers Club, "one of whose eligibility re-
quirements is that a member does not have a pass." Inci-
dentally the same team will perform before its home fans
this year on Easter Sunday. Wirt Gammon predicts a real
fashion parade at Engle stadium that day Your
humble correspondent bit off just about as much as he
could assimilate last week when he attempted to get per-
sonal with the boys in this corner. Messrs. Chandler, et al,
vwell nigh lifted the editorial scalp lock in the ensuing con-
fusion. Nevermore, as the raven said Maybe we should
apologise to Jack Overly, too, for leaving the impression
that he was not in school last year. A mere slip, Jack ...
Random thought — what a heck of a task it is to find two
pairs of shoes in the same school that will fit spring foot-
ballers Tulloch and Donaldson and we promised to quit
that, didn't we? Well the boys are at it again. The
Giants accuse the Indians of pilfering a promising bit of
baseball ivory from under their noses. Maybe boss Terry
should have matrons to watch the boys until he is sure
they can be left alone in safety Dizzy Dean is very
happy about the whole thing, latest news from the front
reveals, and was asked to take nothing more serious than
a salary cut from 25,000 to a pittance somewhere in the
vicinity of 20,000 kopecks. Never you mind, Diz, there's
always relief, you know In the same vein is the war
around Big Baseball and Brewery Man Jake Ruppert,
who steadfastly refuses to pay the equally Big Baseball
and Tarzan Man Gehrig his requested yearly stipend of
$40,000. "Not a penny over 39,000," says Ruppert, owner
of the Yanks and a huge bottling works. Seems there's
nothing more concrete involved than a matter of prin-
ciple, after all. Goo'by.

Girls' Baseball

Starts Tuesday

The baseball tournament of the wo-
men's point system will begin next
Tuesday with a game between the
junior-senior and sophomore teams.
The second of a series of six games
will be played on Thursday when
the freshmen will meet the junior-
seniors.

This week the teams were chosen
by the three groups. Corey, junior-

'Tucky Teachers
Oppose Swimmers

This evening at 7:30 in Bartlett pool
Maryville's swimming team will go up
against the mermen from East Ken-
tucky Teachers college in the closing
meet of the season.

Although positive statistics are not
available, rumor has it that the swim-
mers from Richmond, Kentucky, have
a team that will not be defeated by any
lopsided score.

Maryville"s squad will probably be
somewhat stronger than it was against
Chattanooga Y, but ailments still have
a hold on one or two of the team's
mainstays.

Coach Fischbach has refused to make
any comments, but just to check up he
is going to see how East Kentucky
Teachers come out against U-T Fri-
day evening in Knoxville.

Varsity Netters
End Weeks Work

Aspirants of the varsity tennis team
toed the line last Tuesday afternoon
in Bartlett gym for the first time this
season for the beginning of the long
road which will wind up in Memphis
at the State Tennis Tournament next
May 20.

Approximately fifteen of the top-
notch tennis players of the school ate
now making the daily practices and
even more have signified their inten-
tion of coming out. Among those ans-
wering the first call were Captain Co-
lumbo, Ed Gillingham, Keith Augen-
stein, and Frank Morrow; all of whom
saw service in the upper positions on
last year's squad.

Prospects among the new comers are
equally bright, with Van Cise and
Akana promising to keep the old men
working to keep their places.

Coach Fischbach states that with the
first four men back from last season,
we expect a good year if some of the
new fellows come through.

BASEBALL

Twenty candidates for Maryville's
defending SMC champion baseball
crew were slated to take to the out-
doors today for their initial batting
practice.

Still in a quandary as to the person-
nel of parts of his 1938 team, Coach
Honaker will keep a close eye on the
actions of both rookies and veterans
at the plate.

The present squad numbers the foi-
ling men: Parker, Wilburn, Collins,
Rogers, Copeland, Short, and Amos,
pitchers; Hernandez, Odell, Black,
Davis, Wicklund, Hughes, Honaker,
Gastrock, Russell and Cragan, infield;
Garner, Burris, Parker, and Wilburn,
outfield; Burris, Evers, and Swift,
catchers. Ed note: all the above sub-
ject to sudden change.

Although the rain that held them
back last spring is at work again this
season, Maryville's trackmen are show-

football seem especially likely to ap-
proach proper shape before the first

working in the wrestling room in

permitted by the weather, for the past
two weeks.

The squad now numbers thirty-four,
with several others on the verge of
casting their lot with the thinly-clads.

Contrary to morning newspaper re-
ports, there is a good chance for a
winner this year, especially if the re-

Tankmen Fall To
Chattanooga 49-26

Maryville's tankmen went down be-
fore the YMCA swimmers from Chat-
tanooga last Tuesday evening in Bart-
lett pool with a score of 49 to 26. Sick-
ness held the upper hand on the Mary-
ville team, and Coach Fischbach's
squad was unable to put forth the
usual front to the well-rounded team
from Chattanooga.

Despite their ailments, however, the
medley-relay team from Maryville,
composed of Hilditch, Akana, and
Wicklund, established a new college
record of 1:36.6 in that event.

Notable, among the other oddities
of the meet, was the fact that Rippeth
got up out of bed to take first place
in the back stroke with a time of 1:24.5.
Scoring among the local squad was
rather evenly dispersed. Wicklund and
Rippeth were the only members of
the Scotty team to take individual
firsts. Wicklund took the fancy diving
event over South Eastern champion
Walters of Chattanooga and Rippeth
placed first in the backstroke.

May Queen Election
Set For Wednesday

Seniors Name Orr, Browder
Finalists In Primary

Irene Browder and Louise Orr were
selected by members of the senior class
as candidates for the title of May
Queen in a primary election held in
the philosophy classroom Wednesday

Black, Evelyn Ferguson, and Ann
Sligh, were eliminated in this elec-
tion, leaving clear field to Miss Brow-
der and Miss Orr.

Candidates for the primary were
nominated during the preceding week
by ballots containing the names of at
least ten persons interested in the
candidacy of each of the aspirants.
The meeting Wednesday morning was
also open to nominations from the
floor, but no additions were made to
the list.

James Proffitt, president of the
senior class, announced that the final
election between the two candidates
nominated in the primary will be
held Wednesday morning following the
chapel service, but the results will,
not be announced until the following

Otto Pflanze Elected To
Chairmanship Of Forum

A collection of medieval illuminated
manuscripts which are circulated by
the American Federation of Arts, to
which Maryville college now belongs,
has been displayed at the Elizabeth
Gowdy Baker Memorial art gallery for
the past two weeks. This collection is
composed of original illumniated, or
decorated, manuscripts which date
from 840 B.C. to 1825.

The first two manuscripts, one of
which is a decree of Pope Leo of Ger-
many in 840, the other, Egyptian Coptic
writing of 900, are written by hand on
vellum or sheep skin. One manuscript,
a Bible leaf from France in minute
Gothic style with two columns and
decorated with red, yellow and blue, is
perhaps the most intricate. A Fran-
cesian service leaf written about 1360
A.D., shows the original musical chants
which the priests used in services. A
Greek psalter of 1425 still shows some
of the Byzantine influence in its de-
corations.

An Italian grant of indulgence by
Pope Innocent is the text of a 1488

Georgia Ingle and George Hunt
spoke at the first meeting of the Peace

Otto Pflanze was elected chairman,
and Edith Gillette, secretary.

Night Must Fall
Cast Completed

The cast of "Night Must Fall," the
Bainonian-Athenian play, has been
chosen and rehearsals have started.
The play is under the direction of Mrs.
Nita E. West, and will be presented in
Voorhees chapel, April 8.

The following characters have been
selected: Ed Thomas, Lord Chief Jus-
tice; Marian Lodwick, Mrs. Bramson;
Lois Black, Olivia Grayne (her niece);
Gerald Beaver, Hubert Laurie; Alice
Whitaker, Nurse Libby; Sara Bolton,
Mrs. Terence (the cook); Louise Allen,
Dora Parkoe; Frank Brink, Inspector
Belize; and John Wintermute, Dan.

manuscript. A Spanish altar card dated
at 1520 showed in its decoration one of
the first landscapes ever drawn. This
is in a small block in the upper right
hand corner of the page. An indenture
by George I and written in 1717 has
the official seal and signatures, and is
a good example of the typical court
hand.

The majority of the existing manu-
scripts are religious or civil documents
because at the time of their origin,
Europe was in such an unsteady tur-
moil that only priests and monks and
a Aw court officials had time to write.
This writing was intricate and all done
by hand. Every page was adorned with
some design, and usually the first let-
ter in every main paragraph was en-
larged and decorated. It was by these
decorations that art as such has been
preserved to our time. All gold on the
manuscripts was gold leaf, the
colors were similar to water colors but
not exactly like them, and the ink was
something like our ink of today.

Comic Opera Heard
By Large Audience

Approximately 600 people applauded
the presentation of the comic opera,
Iolanthe, March 17 in Voorhees chapel.
The audience was composed of many
outsiders from Maryville, Knoxville)
and vicinity as well as college students.
They came to hear the second Gilbert
and Sullivan comic opera presented
by the Maryville College Glee clubs
and directed by Ralph Colbert.

Weldon Baird of Kilbourne, Ohio,
and Fred Rhody of Philadelphia, Penn.,
have been nominated for the presi-
dency of the Y.M.C.A. for next year,
it was announced to the Echo by Presi-
dent Marvin Minear. Election of offi-
cers will take place at the annual elec-
tion and business meeting of the asso-
ciation on April 5.

Other nominations made by the
nominating committee are Bruce Mor-
gan and Eugene Orr, for vice presi-
dent; William Alston and George Hunt,
for secretary; Robert Martin and Ed-
ward Thomas, for treasurer; Frank
Brink and Philip Evaul, for represen-
tative to the Advisory Board from the
Class of 1941.

All the nominees have beeen active
in campus activities at Maryville. Baird
is president of the Athletic Board of
control, led his class as president in
its sophomore year, is treasurer of the
Y.M.C.A., and has lettered in track
and basketball. Rhody is president of
the junior class, worship director of
the Y.M.CA., sports editor of the Chil-
howean, associate editor of the High-
land Echo, and a member of the Hi-
Trail and Writer's workshop. Both
Baird and Rhody are listed in Who's
Who in American Colleges and Univer-
sities.

Malcolm Brown, secretary of the
YMCA., headed the committee which
made the nominations. It was com-
posed of two other members of the
cabinet and representatives from the
four classes, all elected by the cabinet
at a recent meeting.

Of Hitler

Jane Irwin, A Senior

Elected Theta Pres.

Jane Irwin, a senior and a member
of the cast of "First Lady," was re-
cently elected president of Theta Ep-
silon society, succeeding Dorothy Arm-
strong.

The other newly-elected officers are
as follows: vice president, Gloria Mil-
ler; 2nd vice president, Kathleen Ciss-
na; treasurer, Esther Sommers; pro-
gram chairman, Muriel Mann; pianist,
Harriet Barber; house chairman, Mar-
cia Sparkman and Mary Deane Allen;
poster chairman, Dorothy Dempster;
sergeant-at-arms, Mary Louise Mor-
gan.

In the election for secretary a tie
vote resulted between Dorothy Quass
and Virginia Partridge. This evening,
at the regular meeting, the final elec-
tion for secretary will be held.

The former United States ambassa-
dor to Germany, William E. Dodd, will
address Maryville students Monday at
three o'clock in Voorhees chapel. Dodd,
who is on a lecture tour through the
South, has not announced his subject,
but will probably speak on the late
Nazi coup in Austria.

Mr. Dodd is noted for his fearless
denunciation of Adolf Hitler. Appoint-
ed to the post of ambassador by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1933, he made a
speech not long after his arrival In
Berlin in which he compared the Nazi
dictatorship with ruthless Roman dy-
nasties. Not long after his retirement
last year, Dodd made a speech in New
York in which he denounced Hitler
as a tyrant. An international incident
resulted; the German government pro-
tested, and was told that Dodd was a
private citizen and could speak as he
pleased.

Dodd is a famous American histori-
an. He is the author of nine well-
known biographies and historical
books. He is also the editor and joint
publisher of three history text books,
and a contributor to numerous maga-
zines and periodicals. He held a dist-
inguished professorship at the Univer-
sity of Chicago for a number of years,
and in 1934 was president of the Amer-
ican Historical association.

The engagement at Maryville has
been secured through the efforts of
Professor Verton M. Queener. Mr.
Queener studied under Dr. Dodd at
the University of Chicago, and con-
siders him the best lecturer he ever

Woolf Opens More Closets To Exhibit Faculty Skeletons

By TOMMY WOOLF

In reviewing the accomplishments of
the faculty members who are graduates
of Maryville college, it is interesting
to note the number of important of-
fices held by faculty members while
they were students. Out of a total of
16 graduates who are now faculty
members, one was a freshmen class
president, two were sophomore class
presidents, one was a junior class
secretary and treasurer, one was a
senior class secretary, and one was a
senior class vice president.

Further study reveals that among
the present faculty there are repre-
sented a former president of the YM.
C. A. and also a president of the Y.W.
C. A.; two secretaries of the Y.M.CA.;
and three treasurers of the Y.M.C.A.
In addition to these positions several
other faculty members held important
offices in the literary societies. One

may judge from these figures that our
faculty members are a well-rounded
group and have received adequate
preparation for the responsible posi-
tions they now hold.

Miss Jessie Johnson, who is now
connected with the English depart-
ment, is a typical example of the type
of student who was interested in many
campus activities. Although she at-
tended Maryville college only during
her junior and senior years, she was
secretary of her senior class, and a
member of the girls' tennis team. Her
hobby was singing, and she was a
member of several campus musical
organizations. Although Miss Johnson
^ow abhors slang expressions, her
favorite by-word was then "sure 'nuff"
and her nickname was "Yessie Yon-

son.

Raymond J. Dollenmayer is one of
the latest additions to the Maryville

faculty, having returned here after an
absence of only four years. He was
a graduate of the class of '33. Profess-
or Dollenmayer was interested in
drama, and he took part in several
literary society productions. He was
also president of the Fellowship club
and secretary-treasurer of the Mini-
sterial association.

"Sheeney" was the nickname of
David H. Briggs, head of the psycho-
logy department. Professor Briggs was
evidently quite a ladies' man during
his student days, for a quotations from
the 1919 Chilhowean says, "Chase him
girls! He's full of fun." Dr. Briggs was
an outstanding athlete, being a varsity
football man for four years, captain
of the basketball team one year, and
a member of the track team one year.
When it came to holding prominent
offices Dr. Briggs was also among the
J leaders, for he was president of his

Sophomore class and vice president
of his Senior class, as well as treasurer
of the Y.M.C.A., and president of Al-
pha Sigma.

Dr. Horace E. Orr, of the religious
education department, must have had
quite a sense of humor during his cam-
pus days. A quotation from the 1912
annual says that he "laughs at every-
thing he says and honestly believes
it is funny." His nickname by the way
was "Hoss." Dr. Orr went in for his
share of campus activities, and as a
result he became president of h£
Sophomore class and president of Ath-
enian. He was also president and sec-
retary of the YJtf.CA, and leader of
the Student volunteers.

Another woman who was interested

in various campus activities was Miss

Almira Jewell of the Class of 1908.

Miss Jewell majored in English lit—

Rev. N. Cook Of Knoxville
Talks Wednesday

Dr. Paul E. Davies, who spoke in
chapel this morning will speak to the
men of the College at the YMCA
meeting Sunday afternoon, and will
be the Vesper preacher on Sunday
evening. Dr. Davies is Professor of
New Testament in the Presbyterian
Theological seminary, Chicago. He
graduated from Princeton university in
1920 with Phi Beta Kappa honors. He
is a» graduate of the seminary in which
he now teaches, and was winner of
the competitive fellowship in New
Testament Greek. He used his fellow-
ship by studying at the University of
Edinburgh where he received his Ph.
D. degree. After returning from Edin-
burgh he was pastor first in Spring-
field, Ohio, and then in St. Paul Minn.
He has been teaching in the seminary
in Chicago since 1933. Dr. Davies is a
brother of Miss Katherine C. Davies,
head of the department of fine arts.
Dr. Davies comes to Maryville espec-
ially as a representative of his semin-
ary. He and Mrs. Davies drove from
Chicago by motor, and were accom-

TALK Of THE WfEK . By Arlene Phelps

EDITORIAL VIEWPOINTS

Doesn't it seem that our newspapers and radio
commentators seize upon disturbing foreign news with just
a bit too much relish? Isn't it true that most of the ac-
counts we get of international conditions are really* in-
tended not to inform us of world events, but rather to
thrill us with vivid details of human suffering and peril?
Have you ever felt sort of cheated when, after reading of
the killing of thousands of civilians in an air raid, a later
report placed the number of victims at a mere five hun-
dred? Should war-bent dictators be too severely con-
demned, when so many of us regard the misfortunes and
misery of others with no more human feeling than thrill-
seeking curiosity?

* * * • •

Hearing the views of a recognized authority on
political and international affairs is as valuable a cultural
experience as listening to the music of a world-famous
artist, or attending the lecture of a renowned scientist.
Students and faculty alike appreciate the visit to the cam-
pus of William E. Dodd.

*****

Those in charge of planning the various programs
in connection with campus life should constantly try to
find betlar ways of doing things. It has been suggested that
the possibility be considered of having the annual com-
mencement exercises in the open-air amphitheater in the
college woods, instead of in the chapel. Whether the ad-
vantages of such an arrangement would outweigh the
disadvantages is a debatable question. At any rate, the
suggestion is one which deserves careful consideration.
*****

In a world where democracy is at a premium, it
is comforting to reflect on the democratic spirit which
characterizes relationships here on this campus. Wealth
and family have surprisingly little influence here, in com-
parison with the situation at many institutions through-
out the country. This is as it should be. The capacity, in-
dustry, character and personality of the individual, and
not his family's social stat financial standing or be-
liefs, should determine his : ^ss.

The card was mailed from Gatlinburg, Tennessee; but

as he left the stand was, "Jussely is done."

PHILADELPHIA (PA.) DAILY NEWS

Colbert Does It Again

IN LIGHT OF THE RECEPTION which previous
dramatic criticisms published on the Echo editorial page
have received, the columnist literally takes his life in his
hands this week by criticising Iolanthe. In order to beat
his critics to he draw, the columnist hereby pens a con-
fession that he knows absolutely nothing about the sub-
ject involved and never expects to. Verbum sapienti: If
you aren't going to like it, don't read it.

Iolanthe was a splendid production. Good music,
excellent acting, magnificant costuming, and superb light-
ing effects combined to make it an unforgettable evening.
Seldom has any thing been given on the Maryville stage
in the way of a student program that equaled the per-
formance on March 17.

If they can be compared at all, Iolanthe was a
much more finished production than the Mikado. The
latter, due to the unforgettable Karukas, was uproariously
funny, but the acting was mediocre and the music rough
in spots. The music of Iolanthe was better, the humor al-
most as good, the acting more convincing— all of which
adds up to a more polished production.

Ed Goddard, the Lord Chancellor, John Magill and
Carl Wells, the earls of Mountararat and Tolloller, turned
in by far the best three performances of the evening. Their
interpretation of the three peers was amusing, their sing-
ing excellent. The trio in the first act was the high spot
of the opera.

Harriet Barber, singing the part of the Fairy
Queen, gave her usual good performance. Miss Barber's
voice, though sometimes lacking in power, is unexcelled
for sheer pleasantness. She never fails to give that inward
feeling of satisfaction that only a talented musician can

give.

Both Nancy Quinn and Richard Woodring showed
improvement in their interpretations of the leading roles,
Phyllis and Strephon. Miss Quinn's voice was more distinct
and her acting better in Iolanthe than in the Mikado. Her
singing, however, is still a trifle too mechanical and unin-
spiring.

Ruth Woods, singing Iolanthe, was uncertain on
some of her tones, but all in all rendered a creditable per-
formance. Harry Ferran started the second act out with
a bang by his interpretation of Private Willis and the song,
"I often think it's comical." Misses Huddleston, Prime, and
Allen were entertaining in the supporting roles of the
three fairies. Miss Huddleston's singing was at first disap-
pointing to those who had heard so much of her possibili-
ties; she completely redeemed herself, however, with a
beautifully clear coloratura cadenza in the second act.

Director Colbert, through Iolanthe and the Mika-
do, has revealed himself an expert in the field of comic
opera. In preparing next year's opera, however, he might
profitably spend more time on his orchestra which was
only fair in Iolanthe. Another tip to Mr. Colbert: he needs
to know one more thing in rounding out a fine musical
education-how to make a more graceful bow in response
to such overwhelming applause as he received Thursday
evening. r

Hitler Does It Again

NO ONE CAN RIVAL Adolf Hitler for sheer lick.
In the last few weeks he has called every card as it cta»,
and called it right. Schuschnigg double-crossed Der Fueh-
rer by calling a plebiscite on Austria's independence. If
he wished to keep what advantages he had gained m
Austria, Hitler found he must act fast.

He surveyed the capitals of Europe and found a
perfect set-up. Sir Anthony Eden with his anti-dictator
ideas had just been forced out of the British cabinet, and
the Chamberlain do-nothing policy was in full sway. On
the Quai d'Orsay the government of Premier Camille
Chautemps had just fallen, and there was no one to take
responsibility. The only draw-back was Italy, and Hitler
bought Mussolini off by providing sufficient aid for Fran-
co's final drive on Barcelona. The net result was this:
when Schuschnigg frantically called Rome, London, and
Paris he received no support, and Hitler came through with
a Frank Merriwell finish.

In spite of the fact that the Chamber of Deputies
had voted 493-to-2 in favor of fighting for Austrian in-
dependence, there was nothing much France could do
about the Anschluss affair. Any opposition would have
brought war, and the French people don't want war. The
Quai d'Orsay had no other choice. Three years ago, how-
ever it had a choice and, had it acted, the Austrian con-
quest might have been prevented. Three years ago Hitler
repudiated the Versailles treaty and rearmed the Rhineland.
Germany was weak, then, and decisive military action on
the part of France would have destroyed Hitler. But France
delayed; last week it was too late.

Hitler's move into Austria has been absolutely
essential to the Nazi dictatorship. Internal dissatisfaction,
as evidenced by an army and cabinet shakeup, seemed to
intimate that Der Fuehrer's rule was slipping.

Hitler's power has been built up by a series of
startling accomplishments. He withdrew from the League
and Disarmament conference in 1933, rearmed Germany
in 1935, remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936. Such moves
have become a necessary political expedient to keep the
dictatorship in power. World peace will last only so long
an England, France, and Russia continue to acquiesce.

(Ed. note: Harking to the insistent
public demand, the editor this week
succeeded in getting the services of
Ichabod Q. Washby, that celebrated
columnist of long ears' standing.)

After making an intensive study of
the lost species of college students, that
eminent educator, I. Q. Rating, claims
credit ("Y' store won't give it) for his
new theory. Quoting from his new
books "Exams, or The Easiest Way
Home is By Train":

"No matter whether the test the
professor has announced for the next
time is a pop quiz or an exam, there
are certain rules that the student
should observe.

"First, he should undertake a strict
training routine. He should not eat
unless he is alone or with somebody
and then only between meals.

"Second, he should not look at any
book connected with the subject his
test is to be in. If the test is to be in
English he should not look at any book
written in that language. This regula-
tion should be strictly adhered to, for
by seeing a book the student would
meet with such temptation to study as
he could not resist. Some students find
that making moon while the sun shines
is a good way to foil this temptation.
On rainy days they play parlor games.

"The third rule is that the Student
should completely relax, before and
after the test. One excellent way of re-
laxing is by letting your room mate
pay your way to the movies the night
previous and the evening after the

test.

"If the student diligently applies
these rules he will find that nothing
on the exam can possibly confuse him.
Furthermore he will discover that he
will be relieved of the painful duty of
standing in line for fall registration.
It will also relieve him of the responsi-
bility of buying a train ticket back
to his college in September."

Because originality is lacking, with
all due apologies to the copyright own-
ers, we quote:

"Let me off at the next stop; I
thought this was a lunch wagon."

One worm to another: "I fell in love
once but she turned out to be only a
piece of spaghetti."

Sign on a Scotch golf course: "Mem-
bers will please refrain from picking
up lost balls until they stop rolling."

Mama fly to baby fly, while walking
on head of bald man: "My, how things
do change, my dear. Why, when I was
your age this was only a footpath."

Convict being hanged for the first
and last time: "This suspense is kill-
ing me."

As Spring rains once more we re-
solve not to use that quote about a
young man't fancy because it is usually
the girl's fancy that does the most
turning anyway. An example:

She: "Spring in the air this morning!
(Exultingly) Spring in the air!"
He: "Eh? Why should I?"
And a pome from back thar':
Spring, spring
The beautiful spring;

The rain 'n mud 'n everything;
The birds and bees

Stay-At-School Student

Socialize, Study, Swim

For those students who found it im-
possible to leave the campus for the
spring vacation, the Social committee
planned a number of activities. Last
Friday evening, the pool was opened
and the Alumni gym made accessible
to those wishing light exercise.

A bus left Saturday morning for a
day trip around the hundred-mile loop
through the Smoky Mountain National
park. In the evening motion pictures
consisting of several commercial reels
and some candid campus shots were
shown in the gym.

Monday a similar bus trip was made
through the mountains.

Holiday activities were brought to
a successful close by an as-you-like-
it sponsored by the Ministerial asso-
ciation Monday evening. In the Y W
rooms there were quiet games, while
in the gym, there was an opportunity
for more vigorous exercise.

Ministerial Will Hold

Banquet On April 19

Dr. Clifford E. Barbour, speaker at
the February meetings this year, has
been secured to speak at the Minister-
ial association banquet, which will be
held on April 19. The place for the
banquet has not been decided on as
yet, but will be announced at an early
date.

The meeting of the association this
week will be devoted to a discussion
of timely topics. There will also be sev-
eral committee reports.

Competition

Co-eds at the University of Calif-
ornia must compete with chorus girls
from Hollywood if they want dates.
The men on the campus can find any
number of glamorous chorus girls to
date if they care to. The co-eds com-
plain that the competition is too stiff;
they they would rather resign them-
selves to spinsterhood.

The Big Apple

Dr. E. R. Guthrie of the University
of Washington has been doing re-
search work on the Big Apple. His
conclusions are "the popularity of the
Big Apple in America indicates a red-
blooded race above all, and it is pro-
bable that such a dance could not have
originated in any other nation which
is considered civilized."
Bachelors

The senior class at Mulenburg col-
lege is allowed to plant ivy if every
member of the class is a bachelor. The
ivy has not been planted for twenty-
five years.
Annapolis Co-ed

Miss Frank R. King, of the Univer-
sity of Alabama recently received a
bona fide appointment to Annapolis.
She was named after her father who
was killed in service, and naval auth-
orities thought she was a son of the
former service man.
War

Two Emory university undergrad-
uates have organized an "Institute for
International ill-will." The object is to
start a war as quickly as possible. An
attempt is being made to establish
chapters "all over the world." In a tele-
' gram to Adolph Hitler they suggested
! that he "quit stalling and fight Austria."
The wire was refused by two com-
panies so another message was drafted
and reported accepted. The second
message read, "we are all behind you
and the eight ball. We recommend
Austria for your growing pains."

The junior-senior baseball team of
the women's point system has won 3
games in the baseball tournament, two
from the sophomores and one from

There are two more games to be play-

Mock Trial Convicts

Freshmen Of Larceny

Vaughn Lyons and Harold Jochim-
sen were put on trial for stealing a
door knob and a mattress, in a mock
trial held by the Law club last Wed-

Jochimsen was acquitted, but Lyons
was sentenced to ten years In prison
by Judge Edward Jussley. Arnold
Kramer was prosecuting attorney and
Horace Brown was attorney for the de-
fense.

STRENGTH lies in
the FOUNDATION

Anything of safe and lasting usefulness must be
carefully engineered and planned from the ground
up. Great bridges must have immense concrete and
steel bases, great buildings must have deep, secure
foundations. Great Banks, too, must have good
foundations, though of a slightly different nature.
Great banks are founded and developed on the
soundness of their policy, their judgement, intelli-
gence and honesty.

Through the years our bank has established its re-
putation. You can bank here with complete confi-
dence that your money is in safe and competant

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MARCH 26, 1938

FOR A MORE PRO ASIC PASTIME

The holidays over, pleasant days and sunshine
are with us once more. Attention is turned again to track,
tennis, and baseball in lieu of mountain climbing and
moonshining.

One of the most enthusiastic athletic enterprises
now extant is the girls' baseball program running its
merry course on the greensward of Wilson Field, as we
noticed recently from the corner of an eye. Such scores
as 47 to 8, and so on, indicate the latent run-making skill
of the lassies. They seem a wee bit inept, though, at field-
ing, handling ground balls much as if they were mice.
Pop-ups, too, seem to present a problem not outlined in
even the most inclusive of home economics courses.

But lest we be misunderstood, we hastily protest
innocence of any spirit of derision. The girls, many of
them, are quite adept at this baseball business, surpassing
any masculine performer in aggressiveness and alertness.

We really enjoy watching them.

Scribe's Exhaustive Research Leads To
Idea 'Egg A Day Will Bring Home Bacon'

SAME OLD QUESTION

Speaking of baseball, there still remains a pro-
blem or so to be smoothed out ere Coach Honaker's
charges are ready to uphold the Maryville banner in the
conference scramble.

Right now it looks like this season may be a re-
petition of the 1937 races, which saw the Scots get away
to a dismal start only to perk up in midseason and smoth-
er the opposition. There was for a while the same un-
certainty which now surrounds the outfield lineup; we
only hope the puzzle is ironed out as smoothly this time
as it was then. Much of the difficulty might never have
arisen if Bill Swearingen had stayed in school. Bill cover-
ed his center field sector like a London fog, and maintain-
ed a respectable average at the plate.

Pitchers Parker and Wilburn will probably share
picket duties on their off days as it stands now. Both are
probably capable enough at the plate ; at least both whaled
the ball vigorously last spring. It remains to be seen if
they can keep those towering flies and whistling drives
off the outfield grass.

What? Still no vacancy at the training table?

"Sixteen men on a dead man's chest."
Or should we say sixteen men on a
training table diet. Believe it or not,
nothing succeeds like success. In case
I you don't know what this is all about,
we are in our own inimitable style try-
ing to tell you that the track team,
largely through our efforts of course,
have finally gotten a training table.

No less than two eggs a day per
man, and lots of spinach, have been
promised the harried harriers of Coach
Thrower. There are lots of catches to
this training table tho — for instance it
seems that everyone who eats at it
must go to breakfast every day. Not
only that, but the authorities have de-

cided to cut out of the diet those won-
derful biscuits that grace the table
every morning.

At present here are sixteen good
men and true eating at the table, but
let me quote Coach Thrower, "If any
of you athletes start laying down on
the job, and start in loafing like Mr.
Dizney, you are going to be demot-
ed, in other words cut from the train-
ing table." End of quote and etc.!! Let
that be a leson to some of you boys.
P. S. I hope he is only kidding.

All kidding aside we really think
that the two eggs and lots of spinach
will help the boys bring home the
bacon.

VIRTUE REWARDED

Entirely aside from any personal bias, of course,
we believe a little laudation is in store for the athletic
shock troops of the junior class, who cleaned up in the
YMCA volley ball tourney last night.

Perhaps the first orchid of the season . ... No ?
SPOILS FOR THE VICTORS

Have you seen the handsome medal awards in
store for fourteen of the outstanding interclass stars?
five of them are slated to go to the winning team mem-
bers, with three to outstanding individuals on each of the
other three teams.

The medals are a work of art and well worth the
effort.

INTRAMURAL ITEMS

What we all had expected as a mild
evening of execise turned out to be
a load of strenuous and invigorating
fun, when the four classes met for
their volleyball tournament. The nat-
uralness with which the juniors are
walking away with all these champion-
ships appalls us, but seemingly nothing
can be done about it, for last night they
added another cup to their honor
shelf. We hope that some team will at
least rise up to give them competition
next week in our intramural swim-
ming meet, which as you probably
already know, envelopes both boys
and girls. It is our hope to procure
some type of individual award for1
those taking places, especially after
the way last night's campaign treated

that little treat at the "Y" store.

Speaking of awards, fourteen esnec-
ially prepared keys have already ar-
rived to be presented later to the four-
keen most outstanding men in the in-
terclass program. Five of these medals
or keys are of a higher class than the
others and are to be awarded to the
five leading members of that class
which wins the interclass cup. These
are keys, having inscribed underneath
the word "Intramural" and on top
the letter "M" done in orange with a
garnet border to the medal. The
placque is the internation one, signi-
fying "Triumph." On the back are in-
scribed the words, "Champions, Y.M.

be awarded to the three other classes,
are equipped with the same lettering

Maryville's swimming team closed
the 1938 season the evening of March
12 in Bartlett pool by barely nosing
out the tankmen from East Kentucky
Teachers' college by a score of 40 to
34.

East Kentucky Teachers totaled the
most points in the individual events,
but the Maryville squad took both the
relays and with them the meet. The
visitors had a one point lead on the
Scotties until just before the last event,
but the 200-yard relay team, composed
of Wicklund, Stafford, Findlay and
Hilditch, won the last event.

Complications arose when the num-
ber three man of East Kentucky jump-
ed the gun in the last relay; despite
complications, however, the swimming
archives proved that jumping the gun
was the same thing regardless of how
it was done; so the event went to
Maryville with the seven points and
the meet.

Maryville took only three individual
firsts and the two relays. Paul Akana
took first in the 100-yard breast stroke
and the 400-yard free style, and War-
ren Hilditch took the 100-yard free
style.

Net Eliminations
Run True Tc Form

On April first, which incidentally is
next Friday, April Fool's Day, in case
any of us are too tired to look at a
calendar, the YMCA and the YWCA
are combining to have their annual
interclass swimming meet in the col-
lege pool. The races will be between
the different classes, with first the
boys having a race, and then the girls
staging a race. The grand climax of the
whole affair is to be a race between
the best girls' team and the best mens*
team. The points garnered in thte
meet by the individual swimmers will
count toward the interclass awards to
be given this year to the men of the
college. Those of the men who were
on the swimming team this past sea-
son, and who did not earn a letter, will
be able to compete; however, those
who did earn a letter in swimming are
ruled out of the meet.

This meet, especially the race be-
tween the men and the women, should
prove of interest to the students and
every one is invited to participate or
be a spectator, as your correspondent
will probably be.

Buy Everything Musical from Clark
and Jones in Knoxville.

With their first track meet only
two weeks off, the Highlanders pre-
pare for a busy season with a num-
ber of good prospects in different ev-
ents.

Although the team's practice has
been hampered by rain during the last
week, the Scotties are by no means
entirely out of condition. With the
three Baird brothers, and Roy Tal-
mage as the nucleus of the team, the
Highlanders have Gene Orr, who runs
both hurdle races; Bruce Morgan* a
fine miler; James "Cousin Joe" Ether-
edge, no. 1 high jumper and would-be
low hurdler; Fred Tulloch, shot putter
extraordinary; Guy Propst, shot put-
ter and discus whirler; Bert Chandler,
pole vaulter; Don Rugh, the "gallop-
ing ghost" of the two mile run, and
freshmen propects to finish out the
roster.

Notable of the newcomers who are
making advancement along the lines
of becoming track men are these.
First of all is Eugene McCurry, who
has been putting the shot in no mean
manner in the last few days of prac-
tice. Gene, who is a big 215 pounder,
has never tossed the shot before, and
for a mere freshman he is doing all
right by himself. Vernon Lloyd, ano-
ther freshman, is a dash aspirant. With
the Scotties weak in the dashes, they
may find a place for Lloyd this sea-
son. "Winnie" Corriston, who is also
a dash man and low hurdler, is ano-
ther man to be watched this season.
Floyd Green, freshman from Ohio, is
looking like a good running mate for
Bruce Morgan in the mile run.

With time trials next week there
should be other new men coming into
the limelight. A good season is in store
for the Highlanders this year, and the
Scotties hope to cop the Smoky Moun-
tain Championship from Milligan, last
year's champs, who come here April
30.

In 1914 a panoramic photograph was

particularly desirable to have a group
picture taken this year since nearly the
entire personnel of the college has
changed since 1914 and since it is pro-
bable that a majority of the men will
be called into service.

Iolanthe

(Con't. From Page 1)
Chancellor. John Magill and Carl Wells
sang the supporting roles of Earl of
Mountararat and Earl of Tolloller.

The story of the comic opera cen-
ters around the love affair of an Arca-
dian shepherd, Strephon (Richard
Woodring) and an Arcadian shepherd-
ess and ward in chancery, Phyllis
(Nancy QuinrO. After many trials and
misunderstandings the two are united
by the Lord Chancellor.

An outstanding performance of the
evening was given by Harriet Barber,
singing the part of Queen of theFairie^ ■
Miss Barber added an original touch
to the opera by singing her love for
"Lagerstedt." At an appropriate place
John Magill sang a clever song about
"Wally and Edward." In the supporting
roles were Elizabeth Ann Huddleston,
Alice Prime, and Louise Allien as the
three fairies Celia, Leila, and Fleta.

The performance of the opera cli-
maxed a week of masterful publicity.
The campus was covered with brightly
colored posters. On Wednesday morn-
ing handbills were distributed to stu-
dents leaving the chapel, and Goddard,
Wells, and Magill broadcast songs from
a loud speaker in the Athenian hall
window. The handbills were numbered,
and the holder of the winning number
was to receive two free tickets to the
performance. No one turned in the
"lucky number."

The costuming and the lighting ef-
fects of the opera were excellent. Most
of the costumes were made on the
campus by Ellen Sauer, mistress of
the wardrobe, and her assistants. Stage
manager for the affair was Maxwell
Cornelius. Roy Talmage was ticket
and publicity manager.

College Nursery Moved;
Campus Benches Painted

During the spring vacation, campus

This nursery, which has been main-
tained by Maryville college for seve-
ral years, was moved to a new site
on the college farm.

The benches on the campus were
repainted during the vacation period.

service at 5:00 in Bartlett auditorium.
He is a member of the faculty of the
Presbyterian Theological seminary in
Chicago, and will speak on Saturday
to the men interested in seminaries.
His talk on Sunday afternoon will be
of interest to all Maryville men.

Albert F. Murray, graduate of
Maryville in 1915, had published in
The Foundation, official publication of
the Engineering society of Detroit,
February, a preview of a talk on Tele-
vision, which he gave recently before
the Engineering society of Detroit and
the Detroit — Ann Arbor section of the
American Institute of Electrical en-
gineers.

Mr. Murray, with a unique engineer-
ing background, has been engaged for
the past eight years in television deve-
lopment, with the RCA-Victor com-
pany and the Philco Radio and Tele-
vision corporation.

After receiving his A.B. degree at
Maryville and his S. B. at Massachu-
setts Institute of technology, he enter-
ed the U.S. Air service. Following the
war, he became engineer in charge of
torpedo control for John Hayes Ham-
mond, Jr., of Gloucester, Mass. Much
of his time was spent on board sub-
marines operating out of Boston and
Newport.

As an assistant chief engineer of the
Wireless Specialty company of Bos-
ton, Mr. Murray made trips from De-
troit on Great Lakes steamers to per-
fect the radio direction-finders built
by his company.

Miss Jewell was a popular campus fig-
ure, and the 1908 Chilhowean gives
this brief biography of her: "One who
needed room to grow; so at the tender
age of 2 she was transplanted to the
wind-swept plains of Kansas."

Turning the pages of the 1914 Chil-
howean, we came across this caption
beneath the picture of Edwin R. Hun-
ter, head of the English department:
"He has been free with his talents
and his ideas— when he has any."
However, by the record which Dr.
Hunter left behind him, we are led
to believe that he must have been
overflowing with talents and ideas.
He was vice president, and president
of Athenian; secretary of the Y.M.C.A.
and of the Athletic association; presi-
dent of the German club; and editor-
in-chief of the "College Monthly." Dr.
Hunter was also prominent in foren-
sics, being on the debate squad for
several years, and in 1913 he won the
Athenian oratorical contest. It is just
such a type of well-rounded student
as this who is most likely to succeed
in future life, and the record that Dr.
Hunter has made $ince graduation
stands as prooof of this statement.

heard. Dr. E. R. Hunter also heard
some of Dodd's lectures at Chicago,
and was considerably impressed by
them.

Dodd's first important book was a
biography of Nathaniel Macon, which
established him as a great biographer.
His most famous work is The Cotton
Kingdom, which is used as a reference
book in the college American history
course. Dodd spent some time in the
White House as secretary to Presi-
dent Wilson, while writing another
important book, Woodrow Wilson and
His Work.

Other books that Dodd has written
are these: Life of Jefferson Davis,
Statesmen of the Old South, Expan-
sion and Conflict, Lincoln or Lee (pro-
bably his most classic work), and a
History of the United States.

Dodd holds two degrees from Ameri-
can universities, and has honorary de-
grees from two others. He received
his Ph. D. from the University of Leip-
zig.

A prominent figure in the Democra-
tic party, Dodd frequently does much
to shape the party's policies. He often
aids in shaping the party platform, and
on occasions he has written large parts
of it.

Irene Browder Is
Named May Queen
By Senior Class

Final Election For Coveted

Position Eliminates

Louise Orr

Irene Browder was selected as May
Queen by the members of the senior
class in the final election held Wed-
nesday morning in the philosophy
classroom.

Irene Browder selected yesterday as
her May Day attendants, Louise Orr
and Evelyn Ferguson, who received
more votes than any of the other de-
feated candidates in the May Queen
election held this week. For king, Miss
Browder has chosen James Proffitt,
president of the senior class.

The primary elections, which were
held March 23, resulted in the elimina-
tion of all candidates except Miss
Browder and Louise Orr, who was de-
feated in the final voting.

Miss Browder has been prominent
in dramatics throughout her college
career, appearing in "Peter Ibbetson,"
"Lady Windemer's Fan," "Craig's
Wife," and "First Cady," in which she
took one of the leading roles. She is
a member of Theta Alpha Phi and an
experssion graduate of last year.

As has been the custom in the past,
the Queen will pick two other wo-
men students as attendants, but Miss
Browder has not yet made this selec-
tion.

MAY QUEEN

T Holds Annual
Business Meeting

Constitution Amendments
To Be Proposed

The annual business meeting of the
Y.M.C.A. will be held next Tuesday
at 7:00 p.m. in Bartlett auditorium.
Business will include reports by the
president, the secretary and the treas-
urer.

Two amendments to the constitution
of the Association are being proposed
to the members of the Cabinet. One
of these amendments has to do with
the profits of the Y store not being
used during the college year in which
they are made; this amendment merely
incorporates in the constitution a prac-
, tice which has been followed for a
number of years.

The other amendment would strike
out a section regarding the Director of
the Lyceum, much of which section
has been outdated. The Y.M.C.A will
continue to cooperate with the man-
agement of the Artist's Series, and the
Cabinet has passed a recommendation
for the new "Y" administration in re-
gard to it.

Deane Brown Made

In Election Thursday

Results of the Bainonian election,
which took place in Pearson's lobby
March 31, have been released. The fol-
lowing will serve as officers for the
third term: president, Deane Brown;
vice president, Alice Whitaker; secre-
tary, Phyllis Gessert; program secre-
taries, Mary Jo Husk and Sue Lupton;
house chairmen, Margaret Lodwick
and Sue Stevenson; pianist Bernice
Smith; poster chairman, Miriam Berst;
and sergeant-at-arms, Mary Alice

An amendment to the constitution
was passed replacing the present three

ing with the two semesters of the
school year.

Oratories For Contest
Given Friday Afternoon

Preliminaries for the T. T. Alexan-
der Oratorical contest were held Fri-
day afternoon in the philosophy class-
room. Judges were faculty members
of the Bible department. Finals will
be held at a later date, not decided up-
on as yet.

The T. T. Alexander Prize Fund was
established in honor of one of Mary-
ville's foreign missionaries. Prizes are
awarded to winners of first and second
places in the contest. The contest was
open this year to men students of the
College.

Television Expert
Gives Chapel Talk

Philco Engineer Built His

First Radio In MC

Laboratory

Albert F. Murray, television expert,
and engineer in the Philco Radio and
Television Corporation addressed the
student body in an extended chapel
period Tuesday. After his talk on tele-
vision, Mr. Murray gave students the
opportunity of asking questions con-
cerning his work. In answer to the
often asked question of "How soon
television?" Mr. Murray said that the
big problem now was not the mechani-
cal transmitters and receivers, but the
difficulty and expense involved in
securing interesting programs.

Later in the morning Mr. Murray
lectured to Profesor Walker's physics
class on the intricacies of the radio-
controlled torpedo. Mr. Murray built
the first successful radio-controlled
torpedo after the World War while
working for John H. Hammond, Jr.

Mr. Murray's engaging personality
and his knowledge of the fields of radio
and television made his talks especial-
ly interesting. He built his first radio
in what is now the physics laboratory,
and strung his first aerial between
Science hall and Bartlett hall in 1912,
while he was still a student in Mary-
ville preparatory school.

Lagerstedt Talks
To Peace Forum

Professor Kenneth R. Lagerstedt
will address the Peace Forum Friday
evening at 6:45 in the philosophy class
room. Lagerstedt will speak on various
phases of the present day European
situation. A close student of German
affairs, Mr. Lagerstedt will center his
talk mainly around the Nazi dictator-
ship and Adolf Hitler's recent coup
in Austria.

Lagerstedt, a professor of German at
the college, has spent a number of
years doing graduate work at the Uni-
versity of Heidleberg in Germany. His
last trip to that country was in the
summer of 1936. Because of his fluent
German, Mr. Lagerstedt has been able
to learn a great deal about the man-
ners and customs of the German peo-
ple, and therefore is well qualified to
discuss the German situation.

After Mr. Lagerstedt's address an
open forum discussion will be held.
The committees which are to carry on
the work of the forum for the coming
year will be appointed at this meet-
ing of the organization.

Night Must Fall,
Joint Midwinter,
Set For April 8

Wintermute, L. Black Take

Leads In Mystery

Thriller

The drama "Night Must Fall" is
to be presented by Bainonian and
Athenian societies in Voorhees chapel,
April 8. This play, by Emlyn Williams,
English writer, was first produced in
1935, and so comes to the Maryville
stage rather early.

It has been called the greatest psy-
chological play of the modern stage.
The plot is no love story, but that of
a criminal egotist, committing murder
to maintain his superiority, and a sup-
pressed girl who is strongly attracted
to him. Though a serious play, it is
full of broad humor for comic relief.

There is only one stage set for the
whole performance, and the action
covers a period of about two weeks.
The prologue, given by the Lord Chief
Justice (Edward Thomas), sums up
the case to the pronouncement of a
verdict, and then action flashes back

Condemns United States

Lack Of Cooperation

In Europe

A capacity audience heard William
E. Dodd. former American ambassador
to Germany, speak in Voorhees chapel
Monday at 3 o'clock. Dr. Dodd was
introduced by Verton M. Queener, pro-
fessor of history and debate and a
former student of Dr. Dodd's at the
University of Chicago.

The audience greeted Dr. Dodd as
he made his entrance upon the plat-
form by rising en masse, and at the
close of the address the listeners gave
the speaker an ovation that only the
best receive.

As was expected, Dr. Dodd spoke of
the present situation in Germany and
predicted that Hitler's territorial ex-
pansion in central Europe would not
end with Austira, but that in the near
future he would take Hungary and
other countries along the Danube. Dr.
Dodd opened his speech with a review

Herrick Young To
Speak At Chapel

Speaker Was Missionary To
Persia 10 Years

Dr. Herrick B. Young, Secretary of
Missionary personnel of the Presby-
terian Board of Foreign missions, who
was for ten years a missionary in Iran
(Persia), will speak at the Wednesday
chapel service.

Completing undergraduate work at
Indiana university, Dr. Young earned
his M.A. at Columbia, and finished
work for his Ph. D. degree at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. At one time
connected with the Associated Press,
Dr. Young frequently contributed to
American and British magazines and
newspapers while he was in Persia,
writing on political, religious and
social trends in the near East, Cen-
tral Europe, and Russia. He is the
author of "Moslem Authors Say," "Is-
lam Awakens," and two English text-
books adopted for use in Iranian
schools.

Dr. Young has been visiting lecturer
for the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational peace. His work as secre-
tary of the department of missionary
personnel of the Presbyterian church
in the U.S.A. keeps him in contact with
the 1300 Presbyterian foreign mission-
aries in 16 countries.

Dr. Young is to have special inter-
views with students interested in fore-
ign missionary work. Janet Talmage
is in charge of those arrangements.

In addition to speaking in the chapel
Wednesday, Dr. Young is to address
the KiwanLs club.

Major Cards Given

After the Wednesday morning chapel
service, Dr. Frank D. McClelland talk-
ed to the freshman class on the selec-
tion of major subjects. Cards for the
registration of majors were distributed.
These cards are to be filled in by the
head of the department in which the
major is to be taken, and filed in the
personnel office by May 2.

Dr. McClelland announced that any-
one desiring advice on the choice of a
vocation or a major should consult
the personnel office or the office of the
Director of Curriculum. A series of
research pamphlets on the require-
ments of 70 different professions is
available at the Personnel office. Any
one of these pamphlets may be bor-
rowed for a period of three days.

Professor Tells Impressions Of Dodd Received In Graduate Work

Monday afternoon a weatherbeaten
little man leaned on the pulpit in
Voorhees chapel and faced an audience
which filled the entire auditorium. His
appearance was disappointing to those
who had come prepared for the phy-
sique and classic face of a great scholar
and statesman. When he began to
speak, they were even more disa-
ppointed. His voice was thin, high-
pitched, and monotonous.

And yet five minutes after he be-
gan his address, he had the attention
of the audience and he kept it for
over an hour. The conclusion is obvi-
ous: William E. Dodd needs no classic
appearance, no oratorical delivery.
What he says is vastly more important
than how he says it.

The personality of Dr. Dodd is fur-

ther revealed by the impressions Prof-
essor Verton M. Queener got of him
while doing graduate work at the Uni-
versity of Chicago. On one ocassion,
Mr. Queener relates, a friend came with
him to one of Dodd's lectures and
was introduced to the historian after-
wards. Dodd shook hands, spoke a few
minutes, and passed on down the hall.
The friend turned to Mr. Queener
and exclaimed, "Good gracious! He
looks a hole through you, doesn't he?"
As evidenced by his numerous re-
ferences to Christianity in the lecture,
Dodd is a religious man. Before start-
ing on his Southern tour, he addressed
a Presbyterian congregation in Wash-
ington. His subject was "World Peace,"
and he read a chapter from the Gos-
pel of Mark. Imagine his amazement

when the congregation sang a military
song for the closing hymn. He told
M.. Queener that he was "dumfound-
ed."

Dodd has a farm in Virginia of which
he is very proud. A firm believer in
terrace farming, he has one of the few
farms in the section using that method
of cultivation. He told Mr. Queener of
the difficulty he has had instructing
his farm hand how to construct a ter
race. "You know," he said, "that fellow
can't make a terrace yet. I always have
to run the first furrow myself."

One illustration of a Dodd lecture
Mr. Queener remembers in particular.
The historian was discussing "Religion
in the Old South," and related an ex-
perience of his early North Carolina

Hunter Releases
Seniors Elected
To Honor Society

Crawford, '35, Is Elected

President; Lancaster,

Vice President

Twelve members of the senior class
have been elected to the Maryville
college honor society, Alpha Gamma
Sigma, Dr. E. R. Hunter, secretary
of the organization, announced today.
Those honored are Edward Brubaker,
Mary Frances Dewell, Clara Dale Ech-
ols, Constance Johnson, John Lan-
caster, Helen Maguire, Louise Orr,
Frances Perrin, Stanley Phillips, Ruth
Sylvester, Jack Thelin, and Joseph
Wallace.

Requirements of Alpha Gamma Sig-
ma are substantially the same as those
of the national honorary fraternity,
Phi Beta Kappa. Membership is
limited to ten percent of the graduat-
ing class, and is restricted to candi-
dates for the A.B. degree, home eco-
nomics students having a society of
their own. Scholastic requirements in-
clude a minimum average of 6.5 for
seven semesters work.

Alpha Gamma Sigma, organized
five years ago, now has an enrollment
of sixty-eight. Included in this num-
ber are some six honorary members
from among Maryville's most distin-
guished alumni and several members
of the faculty and staff who are quali-
fied in their own right. Five of the
faculty have been included in the
society automatically by virtue of their
membership in Phi Beta Kappa.

At a business meeting held early
this week, the society elected Dorothy
N. Crawford, '35, president and John
Lancaster, '38, vice president. Dr. Hun-
ter was elected secretary-treasurer
last year for a term of three years.

Orr, Watt Report
Parish Progress

Dr. H. E. Orr and Rev. F. R. Watt
report continued progress in the work
of the Maryville College Parish. Under
the Parish set-up around fifty stu-
dents from the College go out each
week-end to help in Sunday school
and young people's work in nearby
communities.

Conferences are held frequently in
Dr. Orr's class room at the College.
Mr. Watt is in the College Library
each Wednesday where he holds con-
ferences with small groups of the
workers and with individuals relative
to problems arising in the different
fields.

A training course for vacation Bible
workers will be conducted for the
group at their conference meetings on
Wednesday mornings during the month
of April. The meetings for this course
will be immediately after chapel. All
students who care to take the course
are invited to enroll. A number of the
students assisted with Bible school
work last summer. It is expected that
a larger number will assist at the
various outposts this coming summer.
Others will assist with similar pro-
grams in home communities.

Two Short Plays Given
At Studio Tea Held By
Dramatic Art Students

days. The country preacher met Dodd
outside the church and told him, "Will,
you're going to spend enternity in
Hell." Dodd was naturally curious and
so asked, "How long is eternity?" The
minister asked him to imagine a solid
steel ball the size of the earth and the
feathers of an angel's wings brushing
back and forth over the ball. Eternity,
he said, would last until the ball was
won) away.

Professor Queener considers Dodd
one of America's greatest writers on
historical subjects. Others surpass him
in fame as a historian, but none can
rival him in the matter of presentation.
Of his teaching ability, Queener says
Dodd is possibly the greatest lecturer
he has ever heard.

On March 23, a studio tea was given
in the Fine Arts studio under the
direction of Mrs. Hamilton, teacher of
dramatics in the Fine Arts depart-
ment.

College Newspapers

Signs of the Times1

Bij OTTO PFLANZE

A survey of college and university newspapers as
to faculty censorship might reveal one of the several para-
doxes in higher education.

Students in colleges and universities are urged — by
their professors — to improve and shape their minds, and to
do their own thinking.

But when students follow their professors' advice
and do their own thinking, what happens? As long as the
students follow the conventional groove — we almost said
rut— everything is just lovely.

If students start asking embarrassing questions or
if they fail to see that some time — wornout customs and
methods are of value, the viewing with alarm begins— to
put it softly.

College men and women are not children. They are
students who are being trained to take charge of affairs.
Why not grant fuller scope in their discussion and view-
points?

What if student views are not always the best— but
by what standards— or their judgement the soundest? If
they are wrong, they will soon find it out by the pressure
of events.

College and university editors should be given a free
' ''hand, and then made to shoulder the responsibility sup-
posedly theirs.

Tennis Courts

The trite expression, "First come, first served," might
be changed to "first come, first and last served" to fit
the tennis court situation at Maryville college.

The iitst ones on the courts seem to feel that they
have an option for the remainder of the afternoon and act
accordingly, with litfle" regard for others wanting to play.

We wish it understood1 that we are not hitting the
members of the tennis team. Few would begrudge the
much-needed practice they do.

Our preachment is against those who insist upon
playing singles when several others are waiting for a
chance to play, and against those who hog the courts all
afternoon.

Courtesy and sportsmanship should logically be the
solution to this problem— that is, if those two were not
sometimes held in a bad light, and if they were given a
chance.

Perhaps a more logical plan would be to have open
periods of about an hour each, for which students, to-
gether with those playing with them, would have to sign
up in advance.

Those later than 15 minutes for their period would
be required to forfeit their court to any others waiting to
play.

A plan such as this might not solve all of the pro-
blems connected with the courts, but it might at least al-
low more people to play.

This editorial was written before we received the
new rules for the tennis courts, published on the sports
page. Happily we pull in our neck to a more comfortable
position and ask that the editorial be considered merely
as a space-filler.

The annual chapel cycle has not yet started for
theological seminary representatives, in whom some eight
or ten seniors may possibly be interested, and whom we
like to call the "Four I Boys:" (1) I am indeed grateful
for this great opportunity — (2) I am reminded of a joke —
(3) I want to speak for about ten minutes (if they only
would)— (4) I will be on the campus all day to talk with
you about anything (to sign you up, of course)—.

We hear that the committee has tried to make the
senior invitations complete. Besides the class roll, we will
have pictures, the class officers, student council repre-
sentatives, and various class committees — everything but
an index and a joke section. Perhaps the innovation of the
latter might soften the sting of the prices. Oh well, most
of us are college seniors but once.

Fits and Fizzles

Dij FRED RHOD1J

OBJECTION

WILLIAM E. DODD'S CONDEMNATION of high
tariffs is particularly interesting in connection with an
article about the aluminum tariff published in a local
newspaper last week. Hearings are now being conducted
in Washington preparatory to the signing of a reciprocal
agreement with England which would lower the tariff on
aluminum. The article, obviously aluminum company in-
spired, urged in boldface type, "People in this community
should write their Congressmen and Senators and offer
strenuous objection to this proposed tariff reduction."

Over the article was the scare headline, "New Tariff
on Aluminum Would Destroy Our Big Industry." The same
editor condemned the Nazi government a few months ago
and called Hitler a "crack-pot dictator." New he defends
the very thing (high tariffs) that almost makes dictator-
ship an economic necessity for countries with few natural
resources and overwhelming population.

* « » *

MONOPOLY

AS FOR DESTROYING "OUR BIG INDUSTRY,"
the aluminum company is not likely to be destroyed by
any new tariff. The aluminum corporation has assets of
$175,000,000, sells about 90 percent of all aluminum moving
in interstate commerce, and in 1936 reported profits of
$20,000,000. Last year the federal government charged it
with rigging the entire world market of aluminum. So
there's no necessity for crying over the plight of the alum-
inum company. A tariff reduction certainly wouldn't do
the industry any harm, and it might do the consumers a
lot of good.

The article says, "The decrease in the tariff will no
doubt hold up further expansion and useful work for our
local people and be very injurious to this flourishing
American industry and its thousands of Blount County
workers." The author forgot the more significant fact that
such a tariff Works far more to the detriment of the work-
ing man by raising prices and making the prohibited goods
more expensive in the home market. The tariff may in-
crease employment, but it has the far more important evil
effect of raising the cost of living. It is a vicious circula-
tion from which there is no escape — unless by lowering
the tariff.

* • * *

riYPOCRISY '

ONE OF THE GREATEST BARRIERS to world
peace is the tariff. It is largely the tariff which engenders
hatred between nations and not quarrels between fascistic,
democratic, and communistic forms of government. As for
the Englishman, Darvall, pointed out in one of his addres-
ses here last year, the world is not enveloped in a struggle
between Fascism and Communism but in the age-long
struggle for economic superiority.

The United States, which hypocritically prides her-
self on her love of peace, has erected one of the most form-
idable tariffs in the world. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff of fhe
Hoover administration carried protectionism to a point
which threatened the complete strangulation of American
import trade. And yet Americans wonder why Germany,
Italy and, Japan (who are in severe economic straits) must
use armed force in order to gain the new markets so
necessary to their very existence! It was a significant
statement that Dodd made when he said, "America is just
as responsible for the drift toward disaster." It was still
more significant when he went on to say that a minority
in the United States scrapped the first great constructive
move for world peace because it would have meant reduc-
tion of the tariff.

STRANGULATION

THE INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP between the tariff
and peace is seen in the fact that 42 peace organizations
participating in a Washington conference this month urged
the breaking down of economic obstructions to a resump-
tion of normal international trade." Last fall, Dr. Edward
Bleakney, speaking before the student body on Armistice
day, gave as his subject "World Peace" and perhaps the
most important point in the address concerned the ill
feeling between nations caused by the tariff. Only when
these economic barriers are broken down can any attempt
at world peace be successful.

The logic of free trade has never been successfully
refuted, and yet nations have steadily abandoned it by
erecting higher and higher tariff walls. Competition has
become so keen in modern industrialized society that en-
trepreneurs have repeatedly sought government interven-
tion in their search for greater profits. The American poli-
tical scientist, Frederick L. Schuman, has stated, "If pro-
tectionism is pushed to its logical limit, each State will ex-
clude all imports from other States while it continues its
efforts (obviously vain in such a situation) to market its
own exports abroad. Under such circumstances, all inter-
national trade will be strangled and all the national eco-
nomies will be left to suffocate within their closed com-
partments.

TALK Of THE WEEK . By Arlen* t>help

Of Importance To AH Students

(An Lditorial)

. Almost without exception, college students are beset on every
hand with demands on their usually thin purse. Why, then should young
people make the effort to protect themselves and their families with
life insurance against risks that are likely to occur several years hence?

Most college men and women are looking forward sometime
to marriage. It isn't hard to understand why both parties are more easily
convinced that a "lasting love" exists when one is willing to protect the
other financially as well as give his less tangible love.

Life insurance has ceased to be a thing that one pays for until
he dies and then his family collects. Modern insurace contracts include
provisions for a monthly retirement income for the policy owner after
he reaches retirement age. ,

, Future doctors, lawyers, minister or other professional people
owning several thousand dollars of life insurance, who must spend
years in graduate study, find that they are able to borrow funds for
study much easier and at more favorable interest rates than those who
have no collateral to protect their creditors.

Even though you may not at present be in the market for in-
surance, we suggest that you talk over these matters with a life in-
surance agent at your earliest convenience.

"And So— Television" (modernized edition of "And
So— Victrola"). The book reveals this startling fact: within
two short years two-thirds of the homes in America will
either have a television receiver or will not have a tele-
vision receiver. At last the truth can be told— the reason
why television sets have not been released to the public:
a staff of research experts has been trying to perfect a
device to enable college dormitory heads to detect by re-
mote control whether anyone is looking at television
"movies" during study hours. Wonder if some of the in-
considerates won't have their television sets tuned so high
at six a.m. that the pictures will be seen all through the

dormitory, waking everyone? Our official rating of the
book: XXXXX and lots of love.

PITCHING PROSPERITY

One of the most pleasing of many items about
the performance of the Scots in their initial diamond ap-
pearance last Tuesday was the pitching prowess shown by
the four twirlers sent to the mound by Coach Honaker.

Ripper Collins was the only one of them to toil
more than two innings, but all showed plenty of stuff to
the befuddled Hiwassee stick-wielders in the time they

were in action. 1 . . -j

Collins worked four frames, granting two singles

and fanning eight men. ^

Copeland held the Tiger bats in check for two

Parker pitched the seventh and eighth without
signs of uprising by the opposition. He struck out the
fc side in the seventh on eleven pitched balls.

Short, frosh prospect, was sent in in the ninth
and performed very creditably with a swooping side-arm
delivery that might have caused more than one broken
back in the Tiger contingent had it been used to fullest
advantage.

CAPTAIN COLLINS NOW

Speaking of Mr. Collins, reminds us that that
sterling gentleman of the Old Sooth was elected to the
captaincy of the current baseball crop in a meeting held
for the purpose early this week.

The Ripper, as he is affectionately know both
by friends and batters, was the workhorse of the hurl-
ing corps last year, and a good one. He won six and drop-
ped three for a .750 average.

Collins succeeds Lamar "Toots" Blazer in the
lead role, and is expected to be a worthy successor in his
own quiet manner. In fact it's a cinch.

Eliminations in the spring tennis
tournament have progressed to where
only the final match remains to be
played. As in last year's spring tourna-
ment and the fall tournament this year,
the finals are to be played between
Ed Gillingham and Frank Morrow.

Both Gillingham and Morrow are
veterans and were slated to come
through all right. Picking the winner
of the finals is another matter, as they
are evenly matched. The odds seem
to favor Gillingham slightly, but if
Morrow wins it will be no astonishing
upset.

A. R. McCammon proved to be one
of the surprises in the tournament.
McCammon, a freshman, was seeded
way down the line, but upset things no
little bit when he took Augestine in
the quarterfinals after three sets. Again
in the semifinals, McCammon made
Gillingham work to take two sets in
the three set bout.

There were no other outstanding up-
sets, although Captain Colombo made
Frank Morrow play his best before
he was finally eliminated in the semi-
finals.

Other matces ran true to form, and

placement matches completed.

Oldsters Creak Info
Action Against Youth

Tennis is slated to get under way in
proper form this afternoon when the
varsity team meets the tired business
men of Maryville in a practice match.

The tired business men have fol-
lowed their standard, the old rocking
chair, to victory over the younger set
for the past several years. They are
expecting to do the same this after-
noon if the weather and the varsity
squad will permit.

The T.B.M. team is seriously weak-
ened, however, by the loss of Dr. Lloyd,
who has been one of the main stays
of the team. Pete Kosloski has changed
sides since last year, however; so the
gentlemen from town stand a fair
chance.

Sophs Grab Both

In Water Contest

Sophomore swimming teams made a
clean sweep in the intramural swim-

pool by taking both boy's and girl's
contests. The sophomore boys' team
massed a total of 26 points while the
sophomore girls' team came in with
30 points, each to take their respective
divisions.

Trailing five points behind the soph-
omore boys were the juniors with 21
points, the seniors with 12 points and
the meek and lowly freshmen with 10.
The freshmen girls took second in the
girls' division with 17 points; there
were, however, only two teams in the
girls' meet.

Brubaker, senior, and Crane, junior,
tied for the high scoring position of the
meet. The girl totaling the most points
was Miss Hayes with 13 points.

Most outstanding among the teams
in the meet was the two man team en-
tered by the seniors composed of Bru-
baker and Brown. This team came in
third, and it was in the counting posi-
tions most of> the time.

Tryouts Scheduled To Be
Concluded Today

The Davidson Wildcats wfll grace
the Maryville cinderpath next Satur-
day for the second in the Scot-'Cat
series.

Davidson won handily last year, and
will be fovared in the coming meet.
The Maryville outfit promises at least
a close score and a possible victory,
however.

In between spells of rain, Coach Bob
Thrower's thinly clads have been hold-
ing time trials during the past week.
With Roy Talmage and the Baird bro-
thers dominating the trials, the track-
men turned in some good times for
several different events.

Talmage started off the first day of
trials by turning in a couple of wins
in the hundred and 220 yard low hurd-
les. Talmage ran the hundred in 10.4
seconds. Jim Etheredge ran a close
second, with Vernon Lloyd third. In
the hurdles Talmage skimmed over
the obstacles with the fine time of
26.8 seconds. Gene Orr, lanky junior,
ran second with "Winnie" Corrison
taking third place.

Boydson Baird turned in a fair mile,
winning the event in 4.57 minutes.
Bruce Morgan ran a close second, with
Bill Baird taking third. Weldon and
Bill Baird each tossed the discus for
116 feet, .with Weldon holding the
slight advantage by whirling the plat-
ter 116' 9" for first, and Bill tossing
the circle 116' 3" for second place.

In the trials which were continued
yesterday Jim Etheredge took the high
jump with a mark of 5* 6" and Junior
Odell got a leap of 19' 8" in the broad
jump. Guy Propst took the shot with
36 feet.

Don Rugh nosed out Bruce Morgan
in the two mile run by about a foot.
The time was 11:10.

Diamondites Out
After Second Win
In Ohio Game

Hiwassee Falls Before Scot

Batting Prowess In

Opener

An early season treat is on hand for
baseball fans this afternoon as the
Honakermen face Ohio University in
the second diamond engagement of the
season. They will be out for another
win to hang in the records, having
trounced Hiwassee last Tuesday 9-0.

If last year's game is any indication
of what to expect, then today's game
will be a real dogfight. The Ohioans
pulled the 1937 scrap out of the fbe in
the tenth after the Scots had tied it
up in the last of the ninth at 2-2. Most
of those Scots are on the scene this
year, and a victory over Peden's men
would be sweetmeat indeed to them.

The Hiwassee affair gave Coach
Honaker only a rough picture of what
his latest edition can do under pres-
sure. For the most part there wasn't
any pressure. Maryville went ahead m
the second, counting a lone run on
two hits and a walk. From that ponit
it was mainly a matter of how many
more for the Scots, the Tigers benav-
ing very meekly under the mflu'ence
of Rip Collins mound work.

Two more came over in the next
inning when Parker walked, Witburn
got a single, and Burris provided
transportation with a hit over second.

Collins was replaced by Copeland
in the fifth after stinting Hiwassee to
two hits and striking out eight in the
first four innings.

The next run making splurge came
in the last of the seventh, when four
runs made the count 7-0. Hernandez
walked and advanced on a balk. Par-

of events leading up to the beginning

the vast indemnities placed upon Ger-
many by the Allies at the end of the
World War.

He condemned the United States for
its failure to cooperate with the nations
of Europe in keeping Germany sub-
dued, and he expressed the opinion
that Germany is now so strong that
she can probably never be subdued
without another major conflict.

Dr. Dodd climaxed his speech by a
plan of united cooperation among the
democratic nations of the world to
place boycotts and other economic
penalties upon aggressor nations, and
for the United States to end its anti-
quated policy of isolation.

Acting Of Wintermute As

Criminal Egotist

Makes Hit

"Night Must Fall," bid of Bainonian
and Athenian societies for the coveted
Tbeta Alpha Phi cup, received the
overwhelming applause of approxi-
mately 600 hundred last evening in
Voorhees chapel. Giving an excellent
interpretation of what has been called
the "greatest psychological play of the
modern stage," the society players
were called back for repeated curtain
calls

From the opening prologue of the
Lord Chief Justice until the closing
scene in which the manacled Dan is
led away, the play held the undivided
attention of the audience. The unex-
pected twists and turns of the plot-
ticn kept all waiting to see what was
to happen next. Though a serious
play, it was filled with humorous sit-
uations for comic relief.

High spot of the evening's perform-
ance was the acting of John Winter-
mute. A comparatively newcomer to
the Voorhees stage, Wintermute gave
a gripping interpretation of the crim-

University ol Tennesse spoke at the

. ]'..h tubieel '.r the evening
was "Vocaii rial • aiidance," in which
he has done mm h work. He spoke of
a philosophy of vocational guidance,
the elements that must be included in
a program of vocational guidance, and
the kind of a program that a liberal
arts college could have that would in-
clude vocational guildance.

Dr. Smith holds three degrees from
Simpson College, Iowa, two from Har-

Seminary President Will
Speak At Vespers Sunday

At 5:30 Easter morning the open-air
amphitheater in the college woods will \
be the scene of a service similar in !
many respects tn the impressive Resur-
rection morning rites which have been
observed by the Moravians in old
Salem, N.C., for three centuries.

People travel from distant parts of
the country to lake part in Salem's
traditional Easter sunrise service.
Ralph R. Colbert, of the college music
department, tells of staying up prac-
tically all night in order to be sure of
getting a good place at one of the ser-
vices.

The college band will sound the
summons for the sunrise service Easter
by starting to play at 4:30. Antiphonal
music will be played by the band and
a special group of trumpeters. The
service; scheduled for .":n0, vdl'
the glee clubs, (he cheir, the band and
the newly organised verse choir tak-
ing part. The amphitheater, providing
an ideal setting for such a service, will
resound with the music cf the band,
the singing of the choir and glee clubs,
the recitations of Mrs. Nita E. West's
verse choir, and the joyful responses
of the congregation.

The service has been planned largely

i because few students will have the

opportunity of being at their homes

for Easter, and a special service here

seemed desirable.

WCTU Publication Has
Article By Dr. Lloyd
On Youth And Liquor

"Youth Facing the Liquor Problem,"
an article by Dr. Ralph W. Lloyd, ap-
peared in the March issue of the Union
Signal, the national publication of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
This article is the digest of an address
which Dr. Lloyd delivered at the Ten-
nessee State W.C.T.U. Convention in
Johnson City, last October.

Dr. Lloyd said that the youth of to-
day should do three things concerning
the liquor problem: (1) be informed
about what has happened; (2) be real-
istic about what is now happening; and
(3) be determined about what is to
happen. After they have learned the
past and present history of the liquor
problem, they should resolve to do
their utmost in bringing about a solu-
tion.

Three Maryville faculty members
are to attend the annual meeting of the
Tennessee College association, branch
of the Tennessee Education association,
to be held in Nashville. April 13 and

Tennessee colleges and universities,
usually has about. 30 or 40 of them re-
presented.

Dr. Ralph W. Lloyd, president of
Maryville; Dr. David H. Briggs, head of
the department of psychology and edu-
cation; and Dr. Frank B. McClleland,
director of personnel, plan to leave I
Tuesday afternoon for the meeting.

Dr. Briggs, meeting with the teachers
of psychology and education is to read
a paper giving the results of a sur-
vey he has just completed to determine
what the teacher-educating institutions

Once Deep-Throated Bell Can Only Wheeze Now

Achievement Tests Given
In Local Schools

By GEORGE L. HUNT

On Wednesday morning the bell in
Anderson tower pealed its last. Faint
gurglings came from it at various times

question, "How long has Maryville col-
lege had this bell?"

Treasurer Proffitt, who has been
connected with the college for many

during the day in an effort to make ' years, didn't know the answer. Nei-

it ring as it was expected to, but in-
vestigation into the tower cupola
showed that the clapper hitting the bell
in one place for almost a hundred
years had knocked out a large piece
of the bell near the top. Repairmen
called in immediately said it was be-
yond repair.

That is the surface story. Most of
us are glad we won't be awakened by
alarm-clang at 6 every morning. It was
a chance remark from Dr. Hunter that
set us to thinking about the story of
this bell. "Town people will miss the
bell," said the director of curriculum.
"It could be heard over a radius of
two miles." A climb into the tower
showed that the bell was cast in Troy,
New York, in 1856. This raised the

department store owner, who was bell

there were 63 buildings here including
houses and barns." Ten of these build-
ings are still standing; among them is
the home of Mr. Clark, the florist.

The Civil War caused the college to
close, and when it was re-opened in
1866, there were thirteen students who

Will Parham would know if anybody Parham came in later as a member of

historian in his little bungalow on
Bryant Lane was most interesting, for
he has collected material on East Ten-
nessee history as a hobby in recent
years and information on any local
facts are easily available from him.

Mr. Parham moved to Maryville in
1865 from Knoxville. A far away gleam
comes into his eyes as he recalls the
seige of Knoxville during the Civil
war. "I remember I asked my mother
if the world was coming to an end."
he says with a smile. "Yes, when I
came to Marjrville with my parents

was then situated on Main Street
where the New Providence Presby-
terian church now stands. Of that
opening Dr. Samuel T. Wilson writes,
in his "Chronicles of Maryville Col-
lege," "On the morning of September
5. Professor Lamar, the acting presi-
dent and acting faculty and acting
janitor of the college, rang the same
old cruel -throated bell that throughout
the decades has summoned the stu-
dents to their tasks." This information,
and Mr. Parham's recollection, places

The psychology department of Mary-
ville college on Friday aided the Blount
County schools in giving their annual
achievement tests to pupils just finish-
ing the eighth grade.

Dr. Newell T. Preston is in charge
of the project, and gave the tests at
Maryville high school. Dr. David H.
Briggs was the administrator at Ever-
ett high school, and college students
from the class in elementary statistics
went out to the smaller schools.

These tests are used as a basis for
promotion for senior high school and
also to aid in adapting curriculum to
needs. The Kuhlman-Anderson Intel-
ligence test and the Metropoitan
Achievement .test were used.

After these tests are given, the stu-
dents of statistics, testing, and mental
measurements will do the scoring and
work up the raw data into tangible
statements of results. Findings will be I
given to the county superintendent and
principals for their use.

ford, Delaware, and Walter P. West, a
senior from Hopkinsville, Kentucky,
were winners in the preliminaries of
the T. T. Alexander Prize contest held
in the philosophy classroom April 1.
Judges for the preliminary contest
were members of Religious Educa-
tion department: Dr. Horace E. Orr,
Dr. Morton M. Rodgers, and Rev. R. C.
Dollenmayer.

Dr. Orr, who is in charge uf the con-
test, announced that the finals will be
held sometime in the near future at
the morning chapel service. Judges for
the finals will be men from outside the
college who are prominent in religious
and educational work.

The winner in the finals will receive
approximately $50. and the other con-
testant will receive approximately $30.

On Dressing For
The Evening Meal

Perhaps the most common subject for a college
editorial writer is that of the manners of his fellow stu-
dents, whether because of a narrowed field or because this
material is obvious and requires little originality or work.

Living out in town we were blissfully unaware,
until it was repeatedly brought to our attention, that with
the advent of warmer weather many of the men are taking
the suggestion made earlier in the year about wearing coats
and ties to the evening meal merely as a suggestion.

Some of the men, and women also, come in after
working all afternoon or taking part in some active sport
looking as if they had not bothered to clean up at alL

A few of the women, leaving the dining hall early
have been somewhat surprised to find some of the men
putting on their pants over their tennis shorts in Pearsons'

lobby.

Fellows, isn't that going a bit too far?

Signs of the Times

By OTTO PFLANZE , JR.

IMPERIALISTIC TENDENCIES

"THE ACTUATING CAUSE was the insensate
ambition of Germany to impose its imperial autocratic rule

upon the entire world. Behind it, too, were the German

belief in and desire for war in order to fulfil German
destiny and to promote German Kulture."— The Standard
Dictionary of Facts (1922).

That statement has a strangely familiar ring,
doesn't it? Merely substitute the verb "will be" for "was"
and it could be put into the mouth of anyone of a score of
present day newspaper writers, radio commentators, and
public speakers.

In 1914 our fathers were told that the peace of the
world was being endangered by "imperial autocratic rule."
Today we are told that the greatest threat to world peace
is the rule of Fascism.

We know now that the World War was not the
outcome of the imperialistic ambitions of any one State or
group of States, but the natural result of the imperialistic
ambitions of all states. One wonders, then, what the next
generation will discover about the war which seems to be
on the way.

No one knows what goes on in Europei^^-except
the diplomats. The suicidal system of diplomatic lying and
trickery makes a full knowledge of events impossible.
No one knew what was happening in 1914, and no one
knows today.

A Sort Of Explanation
In Which Very Little
Is Finally Explained

some

There is something stimulating in reading
view which you do not believe, or do not want to believe.
Having someone make an issue out of something you have
written is mildly flattering, if only because of the im-
portance that is thereby attached to it.

We like to read occasionally in a certain one of
the better magazines in the college library because we
know that we will find something there that will go against
some belief we have carelessly held for some time. This
periodical, incidentally, was recently called a "Hearst
Btooge" by Upton Sinclair.

Although the Echo realizes the importance of
stimulating thought, we have never written an editorial
that we did not believe just in order to raise adverse cri-
ticism. We have always expressed our own views freely—
often not so freely as we would have liked, but yet some-
times more freely than discreetly.

We have never written anything to settle a per-
sonal grudge, and when we have written an editorial about
some person it has been to give a merited campusalute
for some fine bit of work. When we have been convinced
of the advisibility of taking up some issue, we have done
so in spite of the incidental persons involved, not because

of them.

We began to realize long ago that our views would
not— and could not— be taken exactly as we had intended
or hoped. The reaction to any article has been— and al-
ways will be— as personal and individual as the writing
of the article.

Occasionally we have perhaps been wrong in some
of our opinions; but on the other hand, in a few things we
have been right. Not only is it possible but also probable
that we have written articles without being able to get all
of the facts, or without properly understanding all of
those facts. But so it is in everything that is written, and
even more so in things spoken.

Our conclusions? We'd rather you drew your own.

DEMOCRACY VERSUS DICTATORSHIP

"AS THE CONFLICT PROGRESSED, the issue
became very clear. It was autocracy against democracy— a
life and death struggle between monarchial militarism and
the free peoples of the world."

That, too, is quite familiar. Two weeks ago William
E. Dodd stood in the Voorhees pupit and declared that if
Hitler was allowed to succeed, "Germany would be the
master of Europe." He went on to express his fears that
the democracies of the world will crumble under the
power of Fascism.

Not only Dodd but hundreds of others are taking
up the cry. Once again we are being asked to "Make the
world safe for democracy." Herrick Young in one of his
lectures here Wednesday told how he was asked to join
a group whose purpose was the raining of a "war spirit"
in the United States. '

America is being subjected to the same pressure
before 1918. Americans are quite receptive to anti-German
propaganda, because Americans are steeped in democratic
traditions. They are unable to understand methods of
government used in dictatorships and are out of sympathy
with them.

WAR MADNESS

TWENTY-ONE YEAS AGO THIS WEEK Presi-
dent Wilson became convinced that American entrance into
the war was inevitable. He made that opinion public in an
address before Congress, and practically the only dissent-
ing voice was the last minute appeal by two pacifist or-
ganizations, the American Union Against Militarism and
the Emergency Peace Federation.

Among the members of these organizations were
Amos Pinchot, Lillian D. Wald, Jane Adams, Herbert S.
Bigelow, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, and others equally as
prominent

These men and women were subjected to violent
criticism from all sides. An editorial in the New York Sun
was fairly typical of the feeling against them. "Behind the
notoriety-seeking sensationalists who innocently engage in
the pacifist demonstrations to which the nation's capital is
to be treated next week, the machinery of the pro-German,
anti-American propaganda is in motion.

"Among the persons of assumed disinterestedness
and respectability will be found some of the easily re-
cognizable agents of the instruments of violence that the

Kaiser's agents have constructed in this country .

"So we have murderers bawling for free speech,
incendiaries painting the horrors of war, bought informers
protesting a superior vigor of patriotic devotion, and
among them, doing their bidding and cloaking their plans,
a pitiful company of lackwits, victims of keener intelli-
gencies, who are put forward as respectable American
citizens!" M *»!

Pinchot advertised in a Washington paper, "Fight
this war out to a finish— to a dictated peace; leave the
Central Powers with an undying grudge against their
conquerors, and you have sown the seed for a period of
intrigue, international alliance and militarism that will
bear fruit in our children's time in another disaster per-
haps more terrible than the present war."

But the "lackwit" Pinchot was disregarded. The
efforts of the two peace organizations failed, because their
numbers were too few. If America is to remain out of
the next war, the pacifist movement must be strong. It
must be able to combat the tremendous pressure brought
by war propagandists.

We've been reading at Mr. Carnegie's
book on winning friends and influenc-

ed. We are up to page 160 now, and as
yet we haven't noticed the slightest
inclination on the part of our acquain-
tances either to throw themselves
around our neck and vow everlasting
affection, or to submit themselves un-
reservedly to the influence of our
compelling personality.

So we have come to the conclusion
that we should re-write the book, to
make it really effective. We cheerfully

reads these lines) permission to incor-
porate our suggestions into the next

SIDELIGHTS

Shades of Heinie Groh !

The bases loaded, two away, and two runs be-
hind in the second inning, that's the setting and up

Strides none other than William Ripper Collins with a
bottle bat. No matter whether Rip hit a home run or
grounded to the pitcher ; it's the dramatic setting and the
ponderous mace that strike our fancy.

How do you think a pitcher can see the catcher
when you hold that bat across the plate, Mr. Collins?

And another thing Junior Odell reading the

paper over by the score board while his mates are engaged

Before the day is over we will have an idea of
just what sort of track team Coach Bob Thrower is mold-
ing this spring, whether its a one man team, or a four man
,team, or a twelve man team, or what have you.

Some of the questions expected to be answered
are these:

How many events can Roy Talmage compete in
and be at his best?

Will newcomer Jimmy Rae successfully chal-
lenge the right of Bert Chandler to No. 1 position among
the pole vaulters?

Is James Etheredge a sprinter?

Can anybody do a respectable mile this year?

How much does the team lack being in shape for
a meet?

And much more of the same.

Track Season Opens Today As Scots

Face Davidson Wildcats At 1:30 P. ML"

The Maryville Highlanders and the Davidson
Wildcats were to raise the curtain on the 1938 track sea-
son here today at 2 o'clock.

The Carolinians rated the favorite's position
easily. They hold a slight edge on the Scots in the matter
of preparation, having dropped their first meet last week
to South Carolina by a two-point margin.

Last year's meet went to Davidson by a fairly
comfortable score; Maryville is a little better armed this
year, though, with Roy Talmage in good shape for action
in five events and with two additional Bairds on the rost-
er.

The best chance for a Scot win seemed to be in
the running events, where most of the experienced man-
power for our boys is concentrated. In the jumps Jim
Etheredge rated a better than even chance to finish in the
money.

This is the way the Scottie harriers^

are running against the 'Cats:

Two mile run: Don Rugh, Gray.
Mile relay: W. Baird, B. Morgan, Gene
Orr, R. Talmage.

Mile run: Boydson. Baird, Floyd Green,
Clifford Proctor.

Half mile run: Bruce Morgan, Bill
Baird, Weldon Baird.
440 yd. dash: Roy Talmage, Weldon
Baird, Vernon Lloyd.
220 yd. dash: Roy Talmage, James Eth-
eredge.

100 yd. dash: Roy Talmage, James Eth-
eredge.

loch, Guy Propst.

Four hits bunched in the last two
innings of the game enabled Maryville
to count three runs Thursday and ob-
tain an even break in a twin bill with
the University of Indiana.

The Hoosiers went on to the win
nightcap in easy fashion, gathering all
their runs in the first and second inn-
ings to finish ahead, 6-1.

The count was 2 to 0 for Indiana,
and Smith apparently had twirled him-
self a victory when the big sixth rol-
led around in the first game. Odell,
first up, drew his second walk. "Ace"
Parker then lined a mighty blow over
the leftfielder's head to account for
the first Scot marker. Odell scored
easily, but Becker retrieved the ball
from the track in time to hold Parker
on third. "Nig" Wilburn's infield hit
then brought Parker over with the
tying run. The affair would have been
won right there except for a neat bit
of daylight robbery in centerfield;
Glenn Evers caught one on the nose
and drove it far out in center, tagged
for Court street, but Gwinn caught up
with it some way and snatched it over
his left shoulder for the first out.
George Gamer drew a pass, advancing
Wilburn to second, where he was
caught off, Smith to Nil. Davis struck
out, leaving the score tied up at 2-2.
The Hoosiers could do nothing about
it in their half of the seventh. Gwinn
was out Hernandez to Parker, Fil-
chuck grounded out Davis to Hernan-
dez, and Clark popped to Odell.

In the last of the seventh Collins
beat out an infield hit, advanced when
Black grounded out third to first, and
scored when Hernandez hit one
through second.

The second game, a nightmare which
was called in the fifth on account of
darkness, offered little comfort Ifor
Scot fans hopeful of a double victory
over the Big Ten team. It was all over
after Indiana chalked up three in the
first and another trio of runs in the
second. Parker never got things under
control. He had stuff enough to strike
out three in his two innings on the
hill, but the Hoosiers teed off fre-
quently enough to score runners put
on by walks and shaky fielding.

Two hits, two walks, and an error
provided the first three, while the
others came on a walk, an error, a
fielders choice, and two solid blows,
including Hobson'e homer to the bank
in rightfield.
In the last of the fifth Wicklund hit
^ short and finally landed on second
when Nil threw 'wild to first He
scored on Black's ringing hit to center.
That was all for the Scots.

High Scoring Act
Marks Tiger Fray

Last Monday, the Maryville baseball
team journeyed to Madisonville and
drubbed the Hiwassee Tigers 17-1.
Hiwassee proved to be no match for
the powerful bats of the Highlanders;
Maryville garnered 11 hits to Hiwas-
see's 4.

Glenn Evers started off the fireworks
for Maryville in the third inning, when
he drove in Parker, Wilburn, and Bur-
ris with a home-run (the first of the
season for the Scotties). From here
on in the game was a walkaway, with
the Scotties scoring in every frame but
the sixth and seventh.

Life Saving Class
Will Run May 2-6

May 2 until May 6, Ellis Fysol, Am-
erican Red Cross life saving examiner,
will conduct a life saving examiner's
class in Bartlett pool, for all those in
Blount county interested in obtaining
their examiner's badge.

Fifteen senior life savers from the
college have indicated that they wish
to take part in the class, and there will
probably be more from outside the
college.

Requirements for taking the exam-
ination are that the applicant must be
at least 20 years of age and a senior
life saver. The passage of the require-
ments permits the passer to examine
any other person and pass him or her
on the junior or senior lifesaving re-
quirements.

Anyone wishing to take the exam-
inations should notify Coach Fischbach
at Once.

6-4, Reaches Top Place

On Team

we promise you a fine match between
these two demons of the handball
course favorites don't tlways win, but
handball being the fast sport that it
is, there promises to be plenty of ac-
tion in the finals.

Frank Morrow defeated Ed Gilling-
ham in straight sets, 6-0, 6- ,4, last
Tuesday afternoon to win first honors
in the spring tennis tournament.

Gillingham's game did not seem to
be up to par, and he was unable U>
handle the service and fast drives of
Morrow. Morrow took the first set with
comparative ease, not dropping a game.
GiUingham tried to stage a comeback
in the last set, but Morrow already
had a two-love lead and quickly cov-
ered up to take the set 6-4.

By virtue of his win, Morrow will
play number one position on the ten-
nis team unless he is later unseated
by one of his team mates.

MARS HILL, MA YBBJ

Maryville's tennis team was sched^a-
ed to make its initial intercollegiate
appearance of the year this morning
against Mars Hill's net men, if wea-
ther conditions permitted.

Mars Hill presents a strong team, but
the Maryville squad is slated to be just
a little stronger. By this time, how-
ever, this argument is quite definitely
settled. (By rackets or rain or snow).

Maryville's probable lineup is Mor-
row, GiUingham, Colombo, McCam-
mon, and Augenstein.

Bobcats Trounce
Honakermen, 7-1

Last Saturday afternoon, the baseball
team from Ohio university hivadW
Maryville, and defeated the Highland-
ers 7-1. The game, played on a cold
day, was erratic, with Maryville mak-
ing four errors to Ohio's one. Mary-
ville's lone run came in the last inn-
ing when Junior Odell took first on an
error by the third baseman, and scored
when Al Burris singled.

Ohio outhit Maryville, getting U
hits to 7 for the Scotties. The only
extra base hits were by Wilburn, who
tripled, and Parker, who doubled to
left field.

On Saturday morning, April 6, the
Liberty Loan parade from the West
Side school to the Presbyterian church
was perhaps the biggest demonstra-
tion of a patriotic nature ever given
in Blount county.

In order that the students and
faculty might participate, the "c" and
"d" classes were dismissed.

Immediately after the parade, Dr. J
W. Gillon, State Missionary of the
Baptist church made an address urg-
ing that everyone invest in Liberty
Loan bonds in order to help put down
the devil on earth— the Kaiser.

YMCA Election

(Continued From Page One)
The association held a business
meeting before the election, at which
time the following amendments were
adopted: Amendment III, "The profits
of the Y.M.C.A. store shall in no man-
ner be appropriated by the Y.M.C.A.
or any division thereof until the col-
lege year following that in which the
profits are made." This amendment
incorporates in the constitution a prac-
tice which has been followed for a
number of years. Amendment IV, "The
constitution is hereby amended by
striking out Article V, Section 2, re-
garding the Director of the Lyceum."
This cancels an out-dated section of
the constitution. The Y.M.C.A. will
continue to cooperate with the man-
agement of the Artist's Series, and the
cabinet has passed a recommendation
to the new "Y" administration in re-
gard to it.

The new president will probably ap-
point his cabinet within the next week.

College Bell

(Con't. from Page 1)
1858 as the year in which the bell was
first installed at the college on Main
street. It stood there while soldiers
used the building as a headquarters
and a stable for their horses during
the hectic war years, and was ready
to resume its service when Professor
J. Lamar re-opened the college.

In 1869 the site now know as "col-
lege hill" having been procured, An-
derson hall was erected to be dormi-
tory, assembly hall, and recitation
building. So the bell was installed in
the tower, and was used continuously
during the school year and for sum-
mer conferences for eighty years until
Wednesday morning. April 6. The
history of "The Bell" is complete.

But anecdotes competed with it
round out the sto; y, Mr. Pa 'ham re-
members how in 1877 Ave r ''ows
locked themselves on the top floor of
Anderson and determined to let the
countryside hear the bell. They ran"
it for two hours while officials tried
to get in to stop them. Mr. Parham
was supposed to be in the group, but
he came too late and they wouldn't let
him in. When President Bartlett tried
to get into the +op flo~>r. Will Parham
broke the door down with his foot.

inal egotist, Dan. Opposite him was
Lois Black in the role of Olivia.

Some of the best acting of the even-
ing was given by Marian Lodwick in
the part of the cranky Mrs. Branson.
Although she had perhaps the hardest
part in the drama, Miss Lodwick acted
the role convincingly from beginning
to end.

Sarah Bolton gave an excellent per-
formance in the part of Mrs. Terence.
Miss Bolton's realistic cockney accent
and her amusing interpretation of the
snippy house keeper won her repeat-
ed bursts of applause from the aud-
ience. Supporting her was Louise Al-
len in the part of the timid Dora Par-
koe.

Gerald Beaver gave a commendable
performance in the part of Hubert
Laurie, the eccentric Englishman who
is in love with Olivia. Malcolm Brown
and Alice Whitaker acted the parts
of Inspector Belize and Nurse Libby,
Edward Thomas (the Lord Chief Jus-
tice) got the play off to a fine strat
with his excellent reading of the pro-
logue.

The drama was under the direction
of Mrs. Nita Eckles West of the col-
lege Fine Arts department. Produc-
tion and business managers were Max-
well Cornelius and Edith Pierce. Don
Stevens was the head usher, while
William MeGill held the post of stage
manager.

Students Direct
Play Activities

Under the direction of Dr. Newell T.
Preston, 14 students from education
classes of Maryville college are direct-
ing playgorund activities at Fort
elementary school.

Each of the 13 women doing the
work goes to the school two after-
noons a week. Dividing the girls of
the school into age groups, they teach
them to play organized games in which
all children participate. Howard Mc-
Gill supervises play among the boys.
These workers report an improvement
in effectiveness of playground activity
and in the social spirit of the children.

This program was begun at the re-
quest of J. L. Brewer, superintendent
of city schools, and Walter Williams,
principal of Fort Craig, to have col-
lege education department cooperate
in beginning supervised play. The be-
ginning has necessarily been simple
and unelaborated, but good results are
manifested on both sides.

in honor of Dr. Jennings B. Sanders.
Dr. Sanders, professor and head of
the department of history at the Uni-
versity of Tennessee, is the author of
the textbook used by Mrs. Snyder's
class.

The program, which consisted mostly
of violin solos by Miss Home, was in
charge of Jerry Beaver. The "Y" rooms
were beautifully decorated with dog-
wood and iris. Farrel Millsaps had
charge of the decorations and Geneva
Johnson and Wilma Kiser were in
charge of the refreshments.

Before the reception Dr. and Mrs.
Sanders were entertained at dinner
by Professor and Mrs. Queener.

Dr. and Mrs. W. P. Stevenson are
now well on their way around the
world. They sailed from New York on
January 9, and expect to land in Los
Angeles on May 9, coming overland
from there.

On the date of this issue of the High-
land Echo, April 16, they are scheduled
to stop in Wellington, New Zealand.
Then they start on the long journey
through the multitude of islands of
the southern Pacific Ocean. From to-
day's stop to Los Angeles they will be
sailing a little over three weeks. The
ship will call at- five ports in that
time; including the Fiji Islands; Sam-
oan Islands; Hilo, Hawaii; and San
Francisco.

Dr. and Mrs. Stevenson have writ-
ten from various places to Dr. and
Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Walker and others,
saying that they were having a won-
derful trip. They have visited the
Mediterranean countries, including the
Holy Land, India, the East Indies,
Siani, Australia, and intermediate
places.

Mail addressed to them in Hawaii
will reach them if it is in San Francisco
by April 18. Letters will reach them
at San Francisco or Los Angeles if
posted in Maryville by about May 1.
Anyone interested in writing may ob-
tain the exact address by calling at
the president's office.

Dr. Stevenson is preaching ship's
services each Sunday that he is on
board. It is hoped that he may be at
the College for the Vespers on May
15.

Henry Plans To Attend
Meeting In Atlanta Of
N.Y.A. Administrators

At 4:30 tomorrow morning the college band will welcome the Easter
morn and open the first department-sponsored sunrise service at Maryville
college, playing Easter hymns and chorals. Being summoned to the service in
the college ampitheatre, worshippers will there witness a program in which ap-
proximately 140 students will participate.

The service, based in many respects on the Moravian Resurrection morn
rights which have been observed in old Salem, N.C. for three centuries, is
under the direction of the Fine Arts department.

At 5 a.m. the processional of the combined vesper choir and glee clubs,
the band, and the verse choir will go to the ampitheatre. Part of the band will
be stationed in front of the college cemetery, and the antiphonal group will send
its echo from the vicinity of the ampitheatre. The service will begin at 5:30 a.m.

— x The 20 members of Mrs. Nita E.
West's verse choir will open the ser-
vice, to be followed by the 90 voices
of the choir and glee clubs singing
"Fairest Lord Jesus." The program will
include two numbers by the choristers,
"The Lord's Prayer," and "Unfold, Ye
Portals;" and a reading of Phillips
Brooks' "Easter Morning" by the verse
choir. Lasting for about an hour, the
program will feature audience partici-
pation in a responsive reading and the
reading of the Apostle's Creed.

The verse choir is a recent innova-
tion in expression work. Tomorrow's
service will be the first appearance of
the Maryville group.

Before the large number of partici-
pants begin the processional to the
woods, coffee and doughnuts will be
served them in the Y.W. rooms.

Two Debate Teams
Go To State Meet
At Murfreesboro

MC Represented In After

Dinner Speaking,

Oratory

The special Holy Week meditations
that have been held each day of this
week have proved successful. The
meetings have been well-attended,
with an average of 80 students and
faculty members at each meeting. Var-
ious members of the student body have
taken part in the services, and contri-
buted their part to making the meet-
ings of a helpful type.

There has been an increase in the
number of patients at the hospital this
week. Lillian Borgquist and Robert
Short were in for a few days. Joe
Swift is suffering from a broken ankle
received in baseball practice. Frank
Brink is also still in the hospital with
a broken ankle. Mildred Dallas was
discharged this week after an attack
of the measles.

Miss Clemmie J. Henry, director of
student-help, who has just returned to
work after a slight illness, is hoping
to take a trip this next week to a dis-
trict meeting of the N.Y.A. administra-
tors held in Atlanta, Georgia, April 19
and 20.

At this regional meeting held with
Mr. Aubrey Williams, federal admini-
strator of the N.Y.A., will be state ad-
ministrators and representatives from
different schools where N.Y.A. pro-
grams are carried on. The convention,
which is sponsored by the N.Y.A., is
for southern educators interested in

Surprise Birthday Party
Given Mrs. John Walker

Maryville debaters left Thursday for
the state tournament held at the Mid-
dle Tennessee Teachers college at Mur-
freesboro. The men's team consisted
of Clifford Proctor and Harwell Prof-
fitt; the women's, of Miriam Waggoner
and Sara Lee Heliums. Arda Walker is
taking part in general oratory and
Clifford Proctor in after dinner speak-
ing.

The tournament lasts from Friday
morning through Saturday evening,
and in this time the debaters will re-
present Maryville in eight rounds, de-
bating on both the negative and the
affirmative sides of the question.

In 1936 Maryville won the state
tournament cup. In order to retain the
cup, a college must win three times.

On the same day, two other teams
and an orator left for the National Pi
Kappa Delta convention at Topeka,
Kansas. Representing Maryville in this
tournament, which lasts from April 18
through April 22, are Curtmarie Brown,
Helen Maguire, Otto Pflanze, Arnold
Kramer, and Louise Proffitt.

This will be the last meeting of the

By TOMMY WOOLF

In reviewing the records made by
various members of the Maryville
faculty during their student days on
the Hill, we take this opportunity to
digress from the subject a little and to
mention the accomplishments of Mr.
F. L. Proffitt, college treasurer. Mr.
Proffitt has the distinction of having
been graduated longer than any other
alumnus now in the service of the col-
lege. Mr. Proffitt received his diploma
from the hands of Dr. Wilson 'way
back in 1907 when the entire enroll-
ment of the college did not exceed 60
persons. Mr. Proffitt took an active
part in Alpha Sigma society and was
secretary of the Athletic Board oi
Control. The faded pages of the 1907
Chilhowean contain this adequate de-
scription of the energy and vitality
which have been characteristic of Mr
Proffitt for many years:

"I'll dare to do all that may become
a man;

Who dares do more is none."

For the sake of contrast let us ex-

amine the record of George F. Fisch-
college now serving on the faculty. A
member of the class of '33, Mr. Fish-
bach was particularly outstanding as
a member of the tennis team, being
captain one year and a member of the
team for three years. He also held the
school championship for three years
and was tennis instructor in his senior
year. He also served as president of

• German club.

"To be three inches taller" was the
chief ambition of Miss Almira Bassett
of the class of 1909, according to the
Chilhowean of that yeji. Misa Bassett,
who now teaches Latin and Bible, was
a member of Bainonian, president of
the Y.W.C.A., and class orator at com-
mencement exercises in 1909. The Chil-
howean gives her chief characteristic
as "talking" and the best four word
description of her as "Can't bear being
late." Miss Bassett earned the reputa-
tion of being a staunch supporter of
her class, and was a leader in all of
its activities. In spite of her diminu-
tive figure, she was even ready to fight
to keep her class from being insulted.

bach, the most recent graduate of the
But that is another story.

Mrs. B. H. Brown, now associate
professor of biology, was active in
musical work before she graduated in
1927. She was a member of the Ves-
per choir, and was an excellent pianist.
Mrs. Brown climaxed her career as a
student by holding the offices of presi-
dent of Bainonian and president of the
student Council in her senior year.

The last person on our list is none
other than Maryville's associate pro-
fessor of chemistry, Dr. Fred A. Grif-
Btts Dr. Griffitts held the offices of
vice president and president of Alpha
Sigma, and president of the Chemistry
club. He also served as a chemistry
assistant for three years. The follow-
ing is a choice exerpt from the Chil-
howean of 1925:

"One time he and "Henri" came back
from church along the wrong road,
and his conscience hurt him for a
whole week afterward because he was
afraid she would get into trouble."

We stand adjourned wilhout further
comment.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 16, 1938

SATURDAY, APRIL 16

Dr. James Henry McMurray

We can see him now, in our mind's eye, seated at
his desk, calling the roll and smiling at late-comers; or
standing near the base-line, watching fielding practice;
or taking his place in the front of the church on Sunday.
We can hear him now, enriching a classroom discussion
by sharing his great store of knowledge and experience;
or making some one's day more cheerful by a pleasant
greeting; or helping a perplexed student find an answer
to his personal problems.

But the time will come when most of us will no
longer remember Dr. McMurray's appearance, or his
words. When our present sense of loss has been softened
and obliterated by time and the activities of life, many of
us will be unable readily to recall even his name. As
dearly as we now cherish recollections of our contacts
with him, those memories will fade.

Yet the years can never erase from our lives the
deep impression that has been left there by Dr. McMurray.
We who knew him have had before us a living example
of how the true Christian gentleman should live. In all the
varied activities which claimed his interest and labor, he
conducted himself in such a manner as to cause us to
pray that we might be half the man he was. A man like
that may be forgotten, in long time, it is true; but the in-
fluence of his unselfish life will continue to keep men on
the right ways for years to come.

At this Easter time we are reminded that the

Christ we worship lives today/ Let us remember that the

spirit of Dr. McMurray lives too— the spirit of love and

service for all men, modesty, justice, loyalty to all good

causes. It lives in the hearts of men and women whose

lives have been made richer because of the life of Dr.

McMurray.

Signs of the Times

TALK Of THE WEEK . By Arlene Phelps

Highland Echo
Reviews Year's Work

When we took over the Echo editorship last spring,
we were more than usually naive. We believed in the
press, in its respect, its freedom, and its power. Boy-scout-
like, "were ready to bring in the millinium.

We believed that editorials should be more than
space-fillers, and with our first issue we put forth a plan
for an honor system at Maryville college. When only one
person— a proof reader by the way — indicated that he had
as much as read the editorial, we were, as Horatio Alger
would have quaintly put it, taken back but undaunted.

We soon saw that the biggest obstacle that we had
to overcome was not hostility to our policies and sugges-
tions, but indifference to them. There seemed to be a
general attitude of "Forget about it, you will never get
anything done."

Looking back over the more than 50 editorials
that we have written, we see that in the main our friends
were correct. We have not accomplished much. Our only
consolation is that it is now too early to measure the re-
sults.

We decided to let the honor system plan smolder
for a while, and in the meantime we collected data on the
plan. We were about to bring it up again at the beginning
of the following term, but for reasons not necessary here,
we decided to drop the issue.

Last spring also, we held up the athletic board of
control constitution as an old joke that had outlasted its
humor. Pointing out the most glaring faults of the con-
stitution, we suggested that it be revised. We said no more
about it until last fall, and a committee was then appointed
to rewrite it. The constitution has been revised, and ac-
cording to the president of the board, will be voted upon
by the students at the next called meeting.

At the beginning of the year, surprised that no
moves were being made to elect cheer leaders, we stuck
out our neck and ran an ad for the pep committee. This
committee was not sleeping, as most people thought, but
was simply biding its time, waiting for an arbitrary date
set by the constitution of the student council. We .later
helped in re-writing this constitution.

At about this same time, the two upper classes
were In a stew as to whether they would back the Chil-
howean this year. Besides carrying editorials and news
articles favorable to the yearbook, several junior and senior
staff editors met in the committees that were appointed
to thrash out the matter, and also helped to collect the
$200 deposit required before further plans could be made.

Feeling that many students tried to carry on more
outside activities that they could do well, we suggested
that a point system be worked out that to limit the stu-
dents extra-curricular activities. We brought forth the
plan as a safeguard and not a restriction; but it, and fol-
lowing editorials on this subject, received little favor.

For a while we stopped writing about campus
problems, which had become distasteful to some by now,
and wrote about national and international affairs. Here
again we met with only partial success. We were unable
to stop Japan and China from fighting, and we do not
know the result of our preachment against the Japanese
boycott. We came out against the Ludlow war referendum
and the anti-lynching bill, but our modesty refuses to let
us accept too much credit for their defeat.

And now we come to a subject in which we are
unusually interested— that of optional class attendance for
seniors. Besides running editorials, we carried on a cam-
pus-wide poll of students and faculty and found both
groups extremely favorable to the plan. We sincerely be-
lieve, and here we are being more practical than idealistic,
that the plan will be given a try at Maryville before long.

Yes, seemingly, we have accomplished little, but
it remains to be seen how much effect this year's Echo will
ultimately have. For the present, however, we review the
year's work with a sigh— and an aspirin.

Columnist's note: While the columnist leaves for
other parts, brother Charles fills this space. Following up
the columnist's flair for condemning something, he puts
the heat on the new naval program.
THE NEW NAVY

The Roosevelt Administration has now decided to
go in for navalism in a big way. Yearly naval appropria-
tions have been increased by approximately $500,000,000
since the New Deal came into power and now the climax
has come. We are going to spend at least one and one half
billion dollars on new naval construction alone. After that,
the upkeep for the navy will cause the annual naval ap-
propriation to skyrocket.

This big navy program is a criminal waste of
money. To be sure it will give the United States an over-
powering navy. But the satisfatiion of having a navy that
can blow other navies out of the water and then can blast
the daylights out of foreign cities is small when we think
of what that one and a half billions of dollars could do if
invested elsewhere.

Consider what could be done in the way of slum
clearance, reforestration, irrigation projects, highway con-
struction and other necessary projects if only one and one
hah' billion dollars were available! The benefits from such
projects will be enjoyed by posterity. The warships, on
the other hand, will be obsolete and sold for junk in about
twenty five years after costing additional billions for up-
keep.

Is it true that the American people who have pro-
tested against militarism and navalism in foreign nations
are now turning around and indulging in one of the most
expensive of luxuries — a big navy?

IS IT NEEDED?

It is freely asserted that America has no choice

but to join and lead in this mad armament race. But is
such reasoning based on sound logic?

In the first place, what nations are capable of wag-
ing modern warfare on an offensive scale? There are only
six excluding this country— France, England, Russia, Ger-
may, Italy, and Japan. Of the six only three possess war-
ships and naval auxiliaries capable of striking across two
thousand miles of ocean. They are France, England, and
Japan.

The German and Italian navies are exceedingly
small while the Russian navy is practically non-existent.
The energies of these three countries are spent on armies
and aircraft, not on battleships. Thus three of the six are
eliminated leaving France, jlngland, and Japan for con-
sideration.

France and England are pacific, democratic nations
and the possibility of their assuming an offensive war
against a major power overseas is laughable. Judging by
the way they are quaking under the threats of Hitler
and Mussolini it some times seems questionable whether
they will fight in self defense, much less undertake an
offensive war. Thus we can eliminate these two and only
Japan is left.

It is very doubtful that Japan will get out of China
with a whole skin. At the worst her armies will be de-
feated in the field in China. If not that, she will be ex-
hausted by the effort of keeping China down after the
Chinese armies are destroyed (witness Manchuria).

It seems silly to think that Japan, emerging from
such a gigantic conflict depleted in man power and re-
sources, would even dream of attempting to transport
enough men and material across seven thousand miles of
hostile waters for waging war on the American continent.
Even though the Chinese adventure succeeds, Russia will
continue to keep the Nipponese busy. So we can forget
about the so-called Japanese menace for a while.

DEFENSE OR OFFENSE?

The scanty plans thus far revealed about the naval
expansion program seem to indicate the construction of
large powerful ships with long cruising ranges. Of what
use are ships with long cruising ranges if not intended for
duty thousands of miles away from home? And what does
that have to do with "coastal defense?" It looks suspicious-
ly as if they are intended for offensive war.

There are few lessons in history upon the difficulty
of prosecuting war away from home. Britain with full
command of the sea failed to perform an effective inva-
sion of Turkey in the Dardenelles in 1915. Italy was stalled
in Ethopia until the despicable use of poison gas was resor-
ted to.

The over-extended armies of Japan are likewise
having trouble in China. The United States had consider-
able trouble in transporting men and supplies to France
despite complete command of the seas and a friendly port
to land on. General Hagood of the U.S. Army pointed out
these and other difficulties faced by nations when prosecu-
ting an overseas war.

In conclusion, I want to affirm a belief in adequate
national defense. But it doesn't seem that we must join
this mad armament race to have adequate protection. If
any country attempts to build an overpowering naval
establishment and an army that looks suspicious, then let
us match them ship for ship. But until that day arrives,
let us not bankrupt ourselves for an unnecessarily large
navy.

WORDSWORTH: What, could I
have written such sissy stuff? To A
Skylark, To the Daisy, Lines Written

POE: Alas, I thought my horror
stories would set mens' teeth a-chat-

very children now laugh at my tales
of terror and tune in the Kiddies' Mur-

t pared to a radio news-flash of latest
war or crime atrocities, my most
blood-curdling story is fit only for
whey-faced infants and old women.

A LETTER

No, Hugh L. "Hoppy" Smith has not
burst into print because of the dis-
covery of an odorless garlic, or be-
cause of a shapely calf revealed by
those unbecoming orange tennis shorts.
H e receives
notoriety this
week because
he is Mary-
ville's num-
ber one thug-
a blackmailer,
no less.

It all hap-
pend this way.
The editor, in
his usual care-
less way, let
slip a story on himself, little mindful
of the protuding ears of Hoppy near-
by. In order to be hushed up, Hoppy
demanded his name be printed in this
issue. We gave in hesitatingly, worry-
ing about our circulation and adver-
tisers. Then he got the Eleanor Roose-
velt streak and wanted his picture
in. What could we do?
You're right. We did!

New Power House Plans
Considered For Summer

Ernest C. Brown, campus engineer,
said that plans for constructing a new
power house this summer were being
considered. If the new plant is built,
it will be located near the railroad,
both to facilitate the transportation of
coal, and to remove the smoke nui-
sance from the campus.

Mr. Brown gave as the reasons for
the proposed construction of a new
plant, the need for a more efficient
central heating system, and the need
to improve the appearance of the cam-
pus by removing the old boiler house.

Editor of "Highland Echo:

In regard to your recent editorial
concerning the modes of dress at the
evening meal, I must say that the
doubtful culture of wearing one's only
coat to the evening meal borders close-
ly on affectation.

It is a time honored fact that the
way in which a person s body is cov-
ered has little to do with his character,
intelligence or personality. If your edi-
torials caused everyone to appear in
a coat, it would contribute little to
anyone's happiness, and detract a great
deal from the comfort of many.
Sincerely,

Reese Scull.

Good Advice

The Volette, the paper of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee Junior college re-
cently printed an article containing
advice to those hungry students who
may want more food in the dining
hall. First, the individual should en-
ter the dining hall well in front of the
pack. He should place himself in his
chair with his weight balanced on both
feet, and keep his elbows close to his
sides to give a longer and quicker
reach in case of a close race. Always
be alert and the chances are that you
will escape injury. Otherwise you may
become seriously injured.

Poetry, etc.

From the Ward-Belmont Hyphen:
He loves me,
He loves me not,
I don't care — \

He's not so hot.
To tax is to burden. A burden the
and is worth two in the bush. A bush
over is an easy customer whom you
can tax.

April Fool

The prize for the best April fool pub-
lication if you like that sort of thing,
certainly should be given to Lenoir
Rhyne. The whole paper was back-
wards. The pictures, the columns, and
the pages were all headed the wrong
way. Under the caption, "Lenoir
Rhyne's Choice for May Queen and
Attendants," were the pictures of six
husky football stars. On the back page
(or was it the front?) was an editorial
on "No Fools Left." After reading the
paper no one would believe that.

Senior Suggestions

The following are some suggestions
of the seniors of State Teachers col-
lege at Jacksonville, Florida for mak-
ing campus life more enjoyable:

1. Test exemptions and three cuts
per week for all seniors.

2. Cushions for classroom chairs.

3. Free ice-cream at 10 o'clock.

4. Trapdoors for boresome teachers.

5. Robots for writing English themes.

New Building

The Orange and Blue, Carson-New-
man's paper, announces that work has
begun on a new science building which
will house the entire science depart-
ment of the college.

Weight Problem

The University Echo of the Univer-
sity of Chattanooga discovered that the
students at U.C. lost 954 pounds in
weight for their cramming in the last
examinations. This is the estimate of
the Bureau of Educational Surveys,
New York City, who arrived at the fig-
ure by multiplying an average of two
representative group of 98% of U. C.
pounds of weight loss reported by a
students who engage in intensive study

before and during examination periods.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 16, 1938

I WONDER ^

In case you wondered just what happened Lefty
Hernandez poled out that long hit in the ninth inning of
Wednesday's game with Illinois Teachers, we refer you
to the SatEvePost of April 16, in which appears a very
enjoyable article by Fredrick G. Lieb, "Hits Are My Bread
And Butter."

According to Mr. Lieb, American League scorer for
something like a quarter of a century, the scoring rules
were changed in 1920, largely at the instigation of Connie
Mack, Clark Griffith, and himself. They proposed a rule
that "enables a batter, breaking up a game in the ninth,
or some extra inning, with a clout out of the park, to get
full credit for his homer and all the runs he drives in."

BATTERIES, WILBURN—

Monday the SMC race begins in earnest when the
Carson-Newman Eagles fly at the throats of the fighting
Highlanders on the local diamond. Thus it is an ideal time
to mention the fact that the Scots showed signs of deve-
loping into a ball club in yesterday's game.

Nig Wilburn had the Teachers completely at his
mercy, allowing less than half a dozen squarely hit balls
off his delivery.

It was a really fine performance, and deserving of a
shutout.

-AND EVERS

The work of Glen Evers behind the plate in the last
(wo games has been worthy of comment, too. Besides pre-
senting a steady target for Scot pitchers to shoot at, Glen
has been taking the ball for a ride and fielding smoothly.
He picked up a total of five hits in the games Thursday
and Friday. Looks like Glen thrives on this idea of having
no replacements since Burris and Swift both were layed
up for the season.

SO LONG

All good things must come to an end and the bad
ones too, it seems. After this week your humble servant
straps his obedient typewriter to his back and hies away
from the doings of the sports page, which will be taken
over by the newly elected staff next week. Its been a plea-
sant relation from this end, and it is with some regret that
the Sports Ed relinquishes his duties. We confess, though,
the change will probably please our constituency no end.
It must be quite a relief, at that.

The 1937-38 sports year as we have faithfully tried
to depict it on this page has been a successful one. A fine
football team, a good basketball team, a fair swimming
and wrestling teams have furnished the Maryville sports
stories. The one great shadow cast over the scene at
Maryville this year was one that will long darken the
pleasant memories of us all ; the death of Dr. McMurray
cost the school and every one of its athletes a warm
friend and trsusted leader. His capacity for understand-
ing and sympathetic friendship can hardly be replaced.

Come on Over,
Joe Wants an

Autograph—

i

He was sliding into second. Chipped
his ankle-bone. His leg is in a plaster
cast now. Come in and see him some
time and sign the' cast. Joe Swift would
only be too glad to have your auto-
graph on his white plaster leg. This
all happened last week when the
Maryville baseball team suffered its
second bad luck blow of the season.
First All Burris broke his leg. This
time is was our scrub catcher, Joe
Swift.

I was in to see Joe yesterday; he
is in the College hospital. It sure is
tough being inside now, when the
sports are just getting under way. De-
spite all his trouble Joe is getting along
fine. We joked and laughed and had
a big time.

Joe said that the only thing he liked
about the hospital was the food. And
that reminds me, if any of you read-
ers go see Joe, go around meal time.
They sure do hand out the good food.
(He also has some candy laying
around.)

"It's a funny thing," Joe said, "but I
knew I was going to be hurt all day,
and just before I started to slide into
second, I had the feeling that some-
thing was going to happen." The main
thing he is looking forward to now,
is going to the Sunrise Service to-
morrow morning. He hopes that he will
find someway to get out there and
back. It will be the first time he has
been out of the hospital since the ac-
cident. \

Baseball Team Tosses Illinois, Eastern
Kentucky For Loss In Weeks' Battles

The eyes of the baseballing Scots are
on the flight of the Carson-Newman
Eagle, following the defeat of Eastern
Kentucky Teachers here yesterday.

Maryville downed the Kentuckians
2-1 in by far the best game of the
local season. Nig Wilburn's hops had
the blue grass boys puzzled to a
frazzle all the way. He .gave up five
hits, and would have had a shutout
except for a ninth inning error.

In addition to his hurling duties Nig
took the Scot offensive on his own
shoulders to a large extent also. He
drove in the lirst run and later tallied
what was to be the deciding score.

Carson-Newman will be here Mon-
day for the first game of the Smoky
Mountain season.

Illinois Bumped
Twice By Scots

The Scots got off to a flying start
in the week's baseball activity by tak-
ing both games in the two game series
with the Northern Illinois Teachers,
on Wednesday and Thursday.

Both battles were murderous to the
pitchers. The first was a 12-10 affair
in which the Highlanders came back
in the last two innings to win on Lefty
Hernandez' Tour base lick over the
right fielder's head. Hernandez scored
behind Black; that is if you prefer to
give him credit for the run that came
after the game was already won.

Scott Honaker hurled the last two
frames to get credit for the victory.

The Railsplitters of Lincoln Memor-

Maryville thinly-clads this afternoon.
The odds are all on the Scotties to take
the meet with points to spare; how-
ever, the LMU squad can always be
depended on to give the Scots plenty
of opposition. The way the boys will
run has been changed only slightly,
this is to give a more balanced front
tothe Railsplitters. This is the way they

Maryville's net men opened the sea-
son in a big way yesterday afternoon
by taking all but white-washing the
tennis players from the University of
Chattanooga. Maryville made a clean
sweep of the doubles matches and took
four of the five singles matches for
a score of six to the opponents one.

Frank Morrow playing number one
for Maryville, came through in straight
sets by defeating Smith of Chattanooga,
9-7, 6-3. Morrow was somewhat handi-
capped with a lame shoulder, but his
game showed little ill effects. The old
cannon ball service was certainly up
to par and Smith couldn't handle it at
all. Morrow and Smith were more
evenly matched than were any of. the
players except the number four men,
and the two had it out from beginning
to end.

Ed Gillingham finished off McGill of
Chattanooga in number two position
in short order by a score of 6-1, 6-3.
Gillingham was the first to finish, and
ne was complete master throughout
the entire match. Gillingham presented
a some what changed game that seem-
ed to keep his foe in the fog.

McCammon, freshman, and Van Cise,
both turned in excellent performances
in their first matches for the Scotties.
Van Cise won over Thomas, 6-4, 6-3,
and McCammon won over Gell, 6-3, 6-
2.

Waggoner was the only Chattanooga
player winning his match. He finally
edged out Colombo in the third set
to take the match. After winning the
first set, 6-2, Waggoner dropped down
and Colombo took the next set, love
six, but Waggoner came back to take

sion, however, being aided no little by
a clean sweep of the field events.

Does a little thing like a broken
ankle keep him from seeing these ball
games? Well not so you'd notice it.

"The boys look a little bit ragged,
don't they?" Al Burris said Thursday,
as he watched the slaughter of Illinois
Teachers from the front seat of a
parked automobile.

The Scot football captin was on
hand again at yesterday's game, too.
All his baseball enjoyment for the rest
of this school year at least must come
from the spectator angle, all because
of a slide that went wrong.

It was at Hiwassee last week that
Al snapped a bone in his ankle trying
to slide into second base; his spikes
caught in the hard surface of the red
dirt infield and the over-burdened
ankle, refusing to act as a pivot for his
whole body, did the thing most nat-
ural under the circumstances — it pop-
ped. "We heard it snap clear over on
our bench," one ef the boys told me.
"I'll be out of this cast in about two
weeks." Al says. "Yeah, it will be all
right by time for football season next
fall. That's a long time."

Al seemed happy enough about the
whole thing, surprisingly so when you
think of all a guy can lose in almost
a month of unwelcome idleness. Al's
like that, you know.

Notables

Looking back over the list of Mary-
ville graduates, one finds that there
are many of them of whom the College
has a right to be proud.

One of Maryville's graduates, Dr.
Magell, translated the entire Bible into
Tagalogy, a language of the Philip-
pines. Samuel Martin Inman is the
sole millionaire that Maryville can
boast.

Many of Maryville's sons have fig-
ured largely in the political life of our
county. Chief among the number is
Sam Houston, Governor of Tennessee,
and first president of Texas. He enter-
ed Maryville academy, the forerunner
of the College, but finding Indian
fighting more to his taste than Virgil,
deserted the pursuit of learning to en-
list in the Creek wars.

INGENUITY AWARD — Gracie
Allen decided to make her own
award to college students. While
making "College Swing" for Para-
mount, she discovered that the
smart students became Phi Beta
Kappas and got all kinds of hon-
ors. She thought it was all wrong.
Any smart boy can graduate from
a university, she insisted, if his
grades are high enough. The de-
serving boy. in Crane's opinion, is
the ingenious one who gets his skin
v.ith low grades. So she is award-
ing a bearAin as the Gracie Alien
Award for Ingenuity to the boy
graduating wi'h the lowest marks
from an American college.

What is a horse worth? The question
is prompted by an incident that ocur-
red here recently. An intinerant horse
buyer bought a horse for $80. The next
day another intinerant buyer came
along and seeing the horse asked its
price. He was told it was $200. After
some dickering the price was finally
agreed upon was $172.50. A profit of
$92.50 was made. The horse was only
in possession of the first buyer over
night. Which price was the right price?

Thi safternoon Maryville's tennis
team will make its first out of town
trip to Knoxville where it will meet
the net men of the University of Ten-
nessee.

Maryville's squad will be fresh from
the Chattanooga match and may come
back from Knoxville victorious, but if
thy do, it will be the first time in sev-
eral years. The Scotty squad appears
to be in much better form than at the
same time in previous years, however.
TUSCULUM-E. T. T.

Slowing down only for Sunday, the
net men will continue their conquests
on Monday against East Tennessee
Teachers college and stop over at
Tusculum to meet the racketeers of
that school on Tuesday.

L.M.U.

Taking two days out for breathing,
the Maryville squad will take the war
path again against Lincoln Memorial
University on Friday. This will be the
second match to be played at home
so far this year.

So far, the seven major contestant—
Gillingham, Morrow, Colombo, Mc-
Cammon, Augenstein, Akana, and Van
Cise — seem to be in excellent form,
and the prospects look just as promi-
sing as they did in preseason pre-
dictions.

The second game was a repitition of
the first, only more so. The score was
15-9, and a blooody affair it was, too.
Illinois got off to a 7-1 lead in the first
four innings and seemed to be away
to a top-heavy win, but the Scots
halted the enemy offensive finally and
then launched a better one of their
own. A walk, two errors, Parker's
triple, and Evers' double brought in
four runs in the last of the fourth, and
three more crossed in the next inning
on an error, Hernandez' double and

The next big inning was the eighth,
in which Black's single, a walk to Her-
nandez, Odell's single, Wilburn's triple
and doubles by Evers and Honaker did
the damage.

Dr. Edwin Mims, distinguished pro-
fessor and head of the department of
English at Vanderbilt university, ad-
dressed the student-body Wednesday
morning at a recognition service for
those seniors recently elected to mem-
bership in Alpha Gamma Sigma, Mary-
ville college honor scholarship society.
Later in the morning, before a' group
composed largely of English majors,
he spoke informally on "Bright Inter-
vals in England," an account of his
last visit to the British Isles.

Dr. Mims, himself a member of Phi
Beta Kappa, is the first speaker to ap-
pear here in this connection with the
local honor fraternity. He has taught
for varying periods of time in St. An-
drews University; Trinity college, Dub-
lin; the University of London; the Uni-
versity of Wales: Exeter; and in the
summer sessions of Johns Hopkins;
University of Southern California, the
California Institute of Technology, and
other leading American colleges and
universities. Dr. Mims is also a writer
of repute, recognized as such for his
latest works, "The Advancing South"
and "Adventurous America," as well
as critical editions of several classics
and contributions to "The Cambridge
History of American Literature," "The
Dictionary of American Biography,"
and "The Encyclopedia Britannica."

Dr. E. R. Hunter, secretary of Alpha
Gamma Sigma, extended a welcome to
the new members, and Mrs. Dorothy
N. Crawford, '35, president, read the

Ticket Seller Recalls Joys Of "Conqest" 5ale

To the average student, a ticket sel-
ler is a semi-intelligent being with
two hands, who sits behind a small
window, or cardboard sign, and ex-
changes numbered pasteboards for sil-
ver money. However, some of those be-
ings have been known in private life to
recall impressions from the fringe of
memory around that central act. A few
amateurs in the work even remember
bits of conversation attending the act,
as these intelligent quotations will
verify: "What's in this Conquest?
What've we got here? Tickets— for
what? Quarter each — fifty cents for a
couple then? Look at her advertise
herself! How's business! Have to have
class dues paid? ('Fraid so, sorry.)
Twenty-five cents — cheap for a Con-
quest! Say, what's it worth if I buy
a ticket; how good is the picture? Give
me Myrna Loy and I'll take one"
Credit goes to those who planned to

see the show and offered to buy tickets
from the seniors to help out. Perhaps
no less credit is deserved by the mo-
tive prompting a few others, faintly re-
called, whose inquiry stated simply
was. "In case I decide to buy two
tickets from you now to use later to-
night if we can't go at 7:20, and then
not go for refreshments, or maybe just
one (I don't know yet for sure) to use
this afternoon if I don't want two and
can return one — will it be any better,
I mean about buying tickets here or
down there — have ynn got a special
price?"

"No, the price is the same, so, may-
be-"

"Well what do you get; whatcha
bothering about this for? Oh, I see,
reserved seats for party and refresh-
ments fox nothing. Well, good!" By this
time the two tickets are being pocket-
ed.

Sophomore Bob comes in with senior

girl friends' roommate: "What's this?
Say, when you go up tell Betty we
have tickets for the theater party. Well
you just tell her."

An observing pal standing by formu-
lates these general statements: Every
2 1-2 comers ask "Will there be ano-
ther chance to get em?" Every tired
person who buys, as he walks away
listening to the two-point oral instruc-
tion accompanying every ticket, re-
treats approximately one yard to ex-
claim, "You mean we don't have to
walk down in a bunch at one lime to-
gether! How soon can we go?" Every
fifth buyer uses paraphrase for a
memory device to make the seller's
words, "Immediately after the show
back to the YW," into "straight back
for hamburgers." The first two and the
last three customers of each sitting
are freshman boys who jokingly de-
mand a couple please, and, unoff ended
at denial promise to bring credentials
to establish buying power.

The Salzburg Trapp choir, Jusai
Bjoerling, Scandinavian tenor, and
Walter Gieseking, famous pianist have
been signed with the Maryville college
Artist series for next year, Professor
George D. Howell announced today.

The choir, scheduled to appear Oct-
ober 17,1 comes with a warm personal
endorsement from Lotte Lehmann who
marvels at "the originality^ the musical
rhythm, and- the finely delivered en-
semble work of these extraordinarily
artistic choral singers." This unique
organization has come to be one of the
most popular features of the famous
Salzburg festival and has been received
with acclaim in the great music cen-
ters of Europe. Its appearance here
next fall will be among the earnest
on the choir's first American tour.

Jussi Bjoerling, Metropolitan opera
tenor, has been characterized as one
of the distinct "finds*' kof the current
season. The staid New York Times
said of him in a recent recital: "Mr.
Bjoerling's is a lyric tenor that is
capable of being projected with ampli-
tude in the grand style. Its range is
extensive and is full throughout the
scale with especial brilliance in the
top tones. Transpositions downward
are not for -this young man. He can hit
high C with a clearness and power and
resonance that are stirring when one
recalls the stranglings of less lavishly
endowed singers. Having been brought
up in a musical family, Mr. Bjoerling
sings with the accuracy of intonation
and the good taste of a musician."

"Musical America" of January 25
carried the following tribute to bis
genius: "Those who were lucky enough
to attend this recital heard an evening
of as nearly perfect singing as could
be imagined. Mr. Bjoerling, who had
previously been heard through a few
radio appearances, made his first lo-
cal appearance in a recital program. It
was immediately evident that once
again, Scandinavia had sent us a sing-
er of technical perfection. The voice
itself, while not of striking individual
character, has a fine masculine ring
throughout its compass; the registers
are perfectly joined and the highest
tones firm and free. Other excellencies,
as agreeable as they are rare, were Mr.
Bjoerling's sense of phrase and his

Seniors Produce
Milne Comedy Hit

"To Meet The Prince" Had
Long New York Run

The senior class will present A. A.
Milne's sparkling comedy "To Meet
The Prince," on the evening of May
28th. This will round out and climax
a year of outstanding dramatic pro-
ductions.

''To Meet The Prince" was chosen
with the thought of entertainment
foremost in mind. The committee
which has made this choice has made
a definite departure from the usual
type of play chosen. Instead of a
heavy, intense drama with an intricate
plot and highly emotional scenes, they
have chosen a plain but brilliantly
clever comedy. This play ran for nine-
ty six consecutive performances on
Broadway.

The play will be cast in the near
future and since there is a wealth of
dramatic ability in the class each part
should be played at its best. Rehear-
sals will 6tart early in May With pro-
bably a few days out for comprehen-
sives.

It is quite possible that there may be
a reduction from the usual fifty cent
price, and if there is, a larger house
than the nine hundred which attended
last year's senior plav may be expect-
ed.

SATURDAY, APRIL 23

Still The Object Of Commendation

Last Sunday morning over six hundred students, faculty,
and visitors gathered at the college ampitheatre to wit-
ness what promised to be one of the most beautiful and
impressive worship services of the year. That a sudden
downpour cut short the program, scattered the audience,
and drenched the participants is no longer news. But the
spirit in which it was all taken is still the object of gen-
eral and Reserved commendation.
V -That Easter service was the result of months of plan-
ning tii J an i if practice. It represented the sacrifice of

the time and effort of a hundred people. Yet there was no
-grumbling, no discouragement. In their place was a very
evident desire to cooperate. Everybody rose to the occa-
sion in a way which points to the success of group acti-
vity in general and to the high calibre of our musical or-
ganizations in particular. Probably the best example of
. this was the efforts of the women of the choir. Unasked,
, they washed and pressed the vestments of the whole group
• and made it possible to hold as scheduled the musical
vespers that evening.

Greater still is the appreciation due those members of
the Fine Arts faculty responsible for the idea of the sun-
rise service— Miss Davies, Mrs. West, Miss Home, and
especially Mr. Colbert, who after the disaster of the morn-
ing, conducted a highly successful broadcast in the after-
noon and a distinctive all-musical vespers in the evening.
Despite rain and misfortune all present at the sun-
rise service felt it was a success and its establishment as i Diems? ^j
a yearly custom of the college is eagerly anticipated.

Dr. Paul Goebbels, much publicised publiciser of
Hitler and all things Hitlerish, made an oration in Vienna
just before the recent plebiscite. Between paeans of praise
for treaty-scrapping and Jew suicides, he inserted a few
words about critics of the policies he helps support and
propagate.

"Our critics are morbid, degenerate, democratic intel-
lectuals," said the Minister of Propaganda and Public en-
lightenment. Isn't it interesting, and depressing, that in a
modern European state the term "democratic intellectual"
is no compliment, but a terrible condemnation, a parallel
with "morbid" or "degenerate"?

There is cause for grief in that utterance, but there
is cause for hope too. It shows well the fear of Goebbels
and his kind for what may well be their undoing, shows
their whole system quaking at the thought of "democratic
intellectuals," and with good reason.

Perhaps Dr. Goebbels knows enough history to recall
with a shudder that tyranical Bourbon control of France
fell with an awful crash before the efforts of a few "demo-
cratic intellectuals." Or that another of these "morbid,
degenerate" rascals, Tom Paine, wrote "Common Sense"
and helped raise the American colonies to effective re-
bellion against the personal rule of George III.

"Our critics are morbid, degenerate, democratic intel-
lectuals.' Probably one of the most enlightening statements
that the Minister of Public Enlightenment ever got cheered
for.

UP OUR HALL

BU QEORQE HUNT

"NOTHING VENTURED nothing gained," says the
old adage. So we venture into columning and present
these paragraphs for your consideration and criticism. The
puropse of this column is to entertain with bits of unusual
news, reminiscences, and whatever ideas our meandering
mind might hit upon.

• • • *

IT WAS A FRONT PAGE STORY Tuesday morning
about Mrs. Roosevelt and her latest clever crack that
makes good news. A reporter asked her if she were not
afraid her husband would send her back to the kitchen if
he became dictator. With a laugh she replied, "The two
are equally probable. I can't imagine the President being
a dictator or myself going back to the kitchen."

OR WEREN'T YOU LISTENING?

Perhaps the above makes you think again of Dr. Mima'
plea for the development and use of intellectual ability.
Inspired humanism like hia is at least a refreshing change,
after discussions •/ titanic movements and irresistible
forces in this old demonic, doomed world of ours( or of
the munitions makers). And I think it's almost as practi-
cal.

Newton Dilloway has written an absorbing book call-
ed "Prophet of America." Of course, the title is mislead-
ing, because it is not about Roosevelt but about Emerson.
It's still a good book. In it, Mr. Dilloway tells of a midnight
lunch- wagon interview with the late Will Rogers: One of
the little queries put was "Will, what's wrong with the
world?", The answer finally came, in that beloved drawl,
"Well, it's people, t guess."

That is not the mere quip of a jester. If yqu should be
searching for something to think about just now, or, more
likely, for something to teach your class tomorrow you
might try working on that simple answer of Will's.

And then on the other hand— there are five fingers.

STILL POINTING

Aren't those words of the cowboy philosopher a sort
of approximation of Christ's answer to the world's pro-
don't we lose sight of that sometimes?
Churches all over the nation supported with religious zeal
a war to make the world safe for democracy. Maryville
was no exception. Now I never tried, but I believe it would
be hard to find in the Bible any endorsement of democracy
or of any other definite political, or economic system.
Socialism, communism, benevolent monarchy, even in a
sense fascism, all have as their ultimate goal the greatest
good of the greatest number. The differences are in
method. "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" is cer-
tainly no condemnation of dictatorship. Christ knew that
the cure for our ills depends finally upon no system but
upon our own individual selves.

Christ's teachings are a Sign of the Times, a little
weather-beaten, it is true, from standing neglected so
long, but still pointing the way.

ability to sing pianissimo high tones
without going into falsetto."

Mr. Bjoerling, late this winter, sign-
ed a contract for leading roles in the
Metropolitan. He is also on the regular
roster of the Roval Opera, Stockholm;
the Royal Opera, Copenhagen; the
State Opera, Vienna; L Scala, Milan;
and the Chicago Opera as a leading
tenor.

The name of Walter Gieseking, to
the musically minded, is synonymous
with "The Poet-Pianist." He does not
thunder and lighten. He does not at-
tempt to imitate an orchestra or to
deafen and awe the listener by his
speed and power. Nor is he a parlor-
poet poseur or sentimentalist. First of
all, he senses, and knows, the exact
sonorous limitations of his instrument.
He keeps within these limits, with
such a wealth of nuance and variety
of color that he can make a dozen
climaxes within the limits of many a
pianist's one. Yet he is not a miniatur-
ist. He is a musician of consummate
skill and a sense of proportion which
gives his art a beauty and eloquence
which lingers with singular distinct-
ness in the memory. Mr. Gieseking is
a profound thinker and student of his
art, but his thinking is the vehicle of
poetry and beauty, and his obviously
meticulous examination of every note
of a score never results in pedantry.
On the contrary, the phrasing is of the
most expressive sort and Mr. Giesek-
ing's treatment of problems of tempo
and rhythm are worth careful study
in themselves

Gieseking, a robust six-footer, nev-
er seeks to impress his listeners by any
dramatic devices, but by hia simple
playing of music for its own sake he
rouses greater enthusiasm than any
pianist of this generation. His hands,
which have a spread of a thirteenth,
are capable of producing an almost
imperceptible pianissimo. One critic
wrote, "There is something startling
in finding this delicate pianissimo,' this
subtlety of shading, this singing le-
gato, coming from the hands of so
gigantic and powerful a human frame."

Barbour Addresses
Ministerial Dinner

Eighty nine students and guests at-
tended the annual banquet of the Min-
isterial association which was held at
the Northern Methodist church last
Tuesday evening. The ladies of the
church served the dinner; and the
committee, composed of Malcolm
Brown, Russell Stevenson, and George
Hunt, decorated the hall. The^theme
this year was spring sports, and was
carried out in the placecards, program,
and decoration.

Dr. Edwin R. Hunter was) toastroas-
ter for the banquet. He introduced the
numbers on the program, which in-
cluded a talk by Dr. Clifford E. Bar-
bour, prominent Knoxville pastor and
this year's February meetings speaker.
Other features of the program were
a vocal solo by Mary Alice Minear, a
violin solo by Edward Brubaker, a
piano reading by Helen Bewley, and
a number by the association quartet,
a talk by Phil Evaul, and group sing-
ing led by Don Killian.

The chaperones were Dr. and Mrs.
H. E. Orr, and guests included mem-
bers of the college faculty, the Rev.
and Mrs. Floyd Watt, and Dr. and Mrs.
O. R Tarwa*er.

Exchange Notes

SENIOR EXAMS MAY 5 AND •

(Continued From Page One)

MRS. ROOSEVELT, in the same interview, commend-
ed the childbirth photos which appeared in a recent issue
of Life. Consensus of opinion among many Maryville stu-
dents, men at least, seems to be that there was no harm
in publishing the pictures since elaborate precautions were
taken to keep them from getting into wrong hands. The
fact remains, however, that this has been questionable
publicity for the April 8 issue of Life, publicity which it
did not need. Only in that respect does it lower our opin-
ion of the picture magazine: if it was a publicity stunt it
did more harm than good; if it was for the purpose of pre-
senting honest facts it is commendable.

Fits and Fizzles

oq FRED fcHODl)

Thus a student having on 122 hours
an average of C, or 366 grade points,
must make a grade of C or above in
order to maintain graduation average.
One with a total of 350 grade points
on 122 hours who made a C plus grade
on the examination would have his
total raised to 370 and would thus be
enabled to graduate; or one with a
total of 370 on 122 hours who made
a C minus on the examination would
have his total reduced to 350 and
would thus fail of graduation.

The same principle will apply to
those who are on the border line of
Cum laude and Magna cum laude hon-
ors. Cum laude honors on 122 hours
call for 732 points on courses plus
60 points (B grade on Comprhensive
Examination), a total of 792 points.
Hours above the minimum of 122, call
for a proportional increase in grade
points on the course record, as, 132
hours call for 396 points as minimum
attainment.

Future War Veterans

An International Ili-Will Institute
has been founded at Emory university
with the purpose of satirizing war.
"Join now! You won't live to regret
it," students are urged. The Institute
advertises, "War for the whole family,
bring the wife^ and kiddies," "A war
in every window," ''What helps war
helps us," "Spleens vented; wars sup-
plied." Over 250 Emory students al-
ready have pledged their support to
the I.I.I. The majority of the appli-
cation blanks showed a desire to be
buried at Times Square, to have their
identification tags written in Sanskrit,,
and to crucify children in the next
war.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO APRIL 23, 1938

Under New Management —

With trepidation in our hearts and typewriters in
our hands we take over the Sport's page. Trying to fill the
shoes of the Hon. Mr. Byrne is a large job in more ways
than one ; however, if we are able to depict the Sport's
woldr at Maryville as well as did Mr. Byrne, we will be
more than satisfied. Also thankful.
In The Major Circuits-
Baseball season was officially opened last week
throughout the country. With Joe Dimaggio's name on
the dotted line, the New York Yankees look like sure shots
to repeat this year. However, Chicago and Cleveland, who
have stronger teams this year, are sure to put up a stiff
fight for the coveted pennant In the National League,
with the News that the great Diz' Dean had been sold to
the Cubs, the odds immediately swung heavily to the
Windy City's side. The news that Dean had been sold
down the river, came as a big surprise to many fans. The
Cards and Diz have long been topics of conversation, and
it is my guess that the Cardinals will miss the Great Diz.
Incidentally, speaking of Dimaggio's holdout, the Italian
boy is losing heavy sugar every day that he does not play
for Col. Ruppert's champs. Arid, he is out of shape. Tis
bad, 'tis bad.
Scotties Trim Eagle's Wings—

The Scotties opened their conference baseball season
with a win over their long time enemies, the Eagles of
Carson-Newman. The pitching and fielding of the High-
landers has improved a great deal since the early season
exhibition games. However, the Scots are still weak as
far as the outfield is concerned. With Al Burris on the
sidelines with an injudy, the Highlanders have no exper-
ienced men in reserve to cover the grass. Catching is ano-
ther problem right at the moment. With Burris and Swift
both put, the heavy burden falls on the depenable should*
ers of the.yeteranjjlen Evers. Evers is a splendid re-
ceiver, and is proving it more and more with the passing
of each game ; however, if a foul tip should split his fin-
ger, the worries of the Scots will be increased tenfold, for
there is no one that Coach Honaker can use to replace
Evers. Despie all these bad signs, the Scots have more
than an even chance to win again the conference champ-
ionship.

Scots To Meet U.T.,
UofCAndMilligan

The Maryville thin-clads are visit-
ing at the University of Tennessee,
where they are having a meet with
the Vols. Despite the fact that Ten-
nessee defeated them last year, the
Scotties are determined to give the
tracksters from U-T plenty of opposi-
tion. The score of last year's meet was
79-46.

On Wednesday the Highlanders will
journey to Chattanooga, and their op-
ponents will be the University of Chat-
tanooga. The score of the meet last
year was 70-56, with the Scots on the
top end of the score.

One week from today is the next
home meet for the Highlanders. Their
opponents are the runners from Milli-
gan. Milligan was last year's Confer-
ence champs and are expected to give

the Scotties plenty of stiff opposition.
This is the way the Highlanders will

ing week's meets.

meet, with firsts in the 100 yd. dash,
the 220 dash, and the quarter mile.
Gene Orr won both hurdle races for a
total of ten points. The three Bairds,
headed by Weldon, who won the discus
throw and the half mile, garnered a

Tennis Team Ties
One And Loses One

Maryville's net men showed up in
above par form last Saturday against
the University of Tennesse's tennis
team to tie the Knoxville court men
with four matches each.

Frank Morrow, number one Scotty
player, lead the local team by taking
the first match of the afternoon from
Krisle, U-T, in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
Morrow's ?orm was quite good, and the
number one man from Maryville play-
ed as good a game as has been seen
from any of the Scotties this year.

Following the lead of Morrow, Mc-
Cammon and Akana vanquished their
foes. McCammon made short work of
Randolph by winning 6-4, 6-0. Akana
did not fare so well, but when he did
get started he got through in a hurry.
Armatage, U-T, made Akana put
forth every effort before he was finally
downed 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Gillingham, Van Cise and Colombo
did not do quite as well. Gillingham
lost to Gilespie in straight sets, 6-4,
6-4. Van Cise lost to Slattery, 6-3, 6-4.
Colombo also lost to Lee of U-T after
a some what freak match. Lee took
the first set, 6-2, Colombo took the
second, 6-1, but Lee took the third,
6-3.

Doubles matches were split as were
the singles. U-T took the first doubles
match when Krisle and Gilespie hand-
led Gillingham and Morrow easily for
a 6-3, 6-1 win. Colombo and McCam-
mon took the second doubles match
from Slattery and Randolph after a
three set bout, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3.

Maryville's squad showed all round
strength, but one or two players ap-
peared to be a little off. This is the
closest the Scots have come to defeat-
ing the Knoxville racketeers in sev-
eral years. Maybe when they come to
Maryville—

Scots Open Conference Baseball

Season With 10-2 Victory Over Eagles

CAPTAIN COLLINS

Collins To Lead
Scots In SMC Drive

Bill "Ripper" Collins was elected
last week by the Scotties to lead the
Highlanders in their spring drive for
the Smoky Mountain Conference base-
ball championship. "Ripper," an ace
righte-hander, opened the Conference
for the Scots with a 10-2 win over the
Carson-Newman Eagles last Tuesday
afternoon.

Collins, a veteran of three years, is
the backbone of the varsity pitching
staff, which is composed of Wilbum,
Parker, and Collins. With all of these
twirlers "on," the Scotties should have
little trouble in defending their champ-
ionship title this year.

Tuesday Milligan's net squad will

day Birmingham Southern will also

Tusculum will attempt to repeat' last
week's performance. ' I

Maryville's squad will be in about
the same order as in the previous
matches this year with more strength
than was displayed against Tusculum.

Birmingham Southern's team will
certainly be an above par squad. The
Southerners, journeying all the way
from Birmingham, have a reputation
as tennis players. The Maryville team
is determined that they shall be disap-
pointed however.

Collins Allows Visitors Only

Four Hits In First

SMC Win

The Scotties successfully opened
their Conference baseball season with a
10-2 win over the Eagles from Carson-
Newman last Monday afternoon. "Rip-
per" Collins, ace right bander of the
Maryville pitching staff, pitched a fine
game giving the Eagles only four scat-
tered bingles.

One of the longest drives of the sea-
son was a triple by Junior Odell, when
he drove one of the Eagle's offering*
far into left fi-''' and on over the
race track.

Maryville made their first run when
Parker scored after singling a few min-
utes before. In the third inning, the
Scots, with the aid of singles by Her-
nandez and Odell, managed to pass
three more runs over the plate. Hie
Highlanders also scored three more
in the hectic fifth inning, with Hughes,
Evers, and Odell each clouting the
horsehide for clean hits.

The visitors managed to score then-
two runs in the seventh, when Harris
singled and Wilson was safe on an er-
ror; and scored when Wilbum let the
ball get away from him.

The Highlanders were scheduled to
play the Eagles in two more confer-
ence games this week, but were rait-
ed out of one of the two. With the
Honakermen showing lots of fight and
determination in the game with Carson
Newman, all signs indicate that the
Scots have a fine chance to retain their
title as Srnoky Mountain Conference
Champs: A lot depends on whether or
not Coach L. S. Honaker can find an-
other catcher in case the Veteran Glen
Evers should be forced out of the line-
up with an Injury;

For Maryville — Collins and Evers. j
Doubles— Evers and Hughes.
Triples— Odell.

Milligan is an unknown as far as
this year's tennis team is concerned,
but the odds lean to the Fischbach
squad.

Mentioning the Tusculum match
rings a sad note to Maryville's players,
but the defeat will be revenged by this
time next week; so says the squad.

Earl C. Arnold, professor and dean
of the School of Law at Vanderbilt
University, addressed the Law club
Wednesday evening. He spoke of law
schools and openings for lawyers in a
delightfully informal manner. After
his speech, an open discussion and
question period was held by the group.

Before the address, a short business
meeting was held.

VOCATIONAL INTEREST TESTS

(Cont. from Page 1)

saleman, social worker, teacher of
English, teacher in general, . teaeher of
social sciences, lawyer, Y.W.C.A. sec-
retary, teacher of mathematics . and
physical sciences, nurse, stenographer,
secretary, general office worker,
housewife. • .

College Orchestra
Pleases Audience
In Spring Concert

Zulu Vance Is Featured As

Soloist In Concerto

For Piano

STRAUSS WALTZ USED

Celebration of Music Week

Includes Programs

In Chapel

The thirty-six piece college sym-
phony orchestra, under the direction
of Ralph R. Colbert, presented its an-
nual spring concert last night before
an enthusiastic audience of over 500
people. The program, high point in the
celebration of National Music week
here, featured Zula Vance as soloist
in Mendelssohn't G minor concerto for
piano and orchestra. The concert open-
ed with Beethoven's Egmont overture,
originally composed for Goethe's tra-
gedy of the same name presented at
the Vienna Court theatre in 1810. The
music gives a vivid picture of the op-
pressor and the oppressed which are
the themes of the drama.

The second number was the molto
allegro con fuoco movement of the G
minor concerto. Miss Vance's interpre-
tation received long and appreciative
ovation at its completion. After the
intermission, Mr. Colbert directed the
orchestra in two movements of Beet-
hoven's fourth symphony. A commis-
sioned work, the fourth does not show
Beethoven at his profoundest, but the
melodic optimism of the work has long
made it a favorite with concert-goers.

The program concluded with the al-
ways popular Strauss waltz, Tales from
the Vienna Woods. The orc'iestia was
rewaided with applause which lasted
for several minutes. Mr. Colbert was
called to the podium repeatedly and
dhersi °^*> honors vv.'^h Mia; lY-rothy

Other members of the orchestic are
Euward Biubaker, Mable Longmire,
Annabelle Voight, Mary E. Haines,
Margaret Hammond, Katharine Crews,
first violin; Sarah Hussey, Margaret
Lodwick, Marion Garwood, Elizabeth
Warren, Harriet Walkup, Howland

rod, Doris Sieweke, clarinet; Norman
Bennett, horn; Ralph Reed, cornet;
Sam Cornelius, Stanley Huddleston,

res, percussion; and Oliver Williams,

Further celebration of National Mu-
sic week included a short rectital by
the college trio in chapel Tuesday
morning. This ensemble, composed of
Louise Felknor, piano; John Guinter,
violin; and Erwin Ritzman, cello play-
ed the Song Without Words of Tschai-
kowsky and a string trio by Mozart.
Special music at the regular vesper
service tomorrow evening will con-
clude our part in the observation of
this nation-wide festival.

Large Crowd Sees
May Day Pageant

Old English Merry Makers
Celebrate Festival

Eight hundred students, faculty, and
friends of Maryville college gathered
in the amphitheatre last Monday after-
noon at 2:00 to witness the crowning
of the May Queen.

The band in uniform played the pro-
cessional as the court preceded the
king and queen to the white throne on
the stage. The women class representa-
tives wore net dresses of graduated
shades of pink and carried bouquets
of blue iris and white carnations. Their
escorts were dressed in white and wore
red roses as boutonnieres.

Climaxing the procession was the
entrance of Queen Irene Browder es-
corted by King James Proffitt. Miss
Browder was dressed in a rose frock
with a sweeping train and carried a
bouquet of white and pink carnations.
The king wore white. The royal pair
were accompanied by Louise Lloyd,
flower girl, and Evelyn Ferguson and
Louise Orr, maids of honor.

After the members of the court were
seated, Helen Bobo, Queen of the For-
est, appeared wearing a crown of white
carnations. She advanced and knelt
with her two attendants Jane Law and
Mary Elizabeth Haines, before the May
Queen. The king lifted the crown from
the head of the Forest Queen and
placed it on the head of the May
Queen.

Crowds of old English May Day
merry-makers then rushed singing and
shouting down through the woods and
out onto the green before the royal
court. Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar
Tuck, and some of Robin Hood's men
appeared and received the gracious
consent of the queen to have an arch-
ery contest.

After the contest, the villagers sang
and danced to old English folk songs

day, May 9th after completing their
trip around the world. They will pro-
ceed to Maryville by air and will ar-

received as to these plans, but Dr.
Stevenson indicated them tentatively in
a letter from Australia.

The Stevensons sailed on January 9

U.T. Professor Speaks On
Vegetation In Smoky Mts.

Dr. Stanley Cain, professor of plant
ecology at the University of Tennes-
see was the speaker at the biology
seminar Tuesday evening in the science
building.

Dr. Cain's subject was the "History
of Vegetation in the Smoky Mount-
ains." He pointed out the fact that at
the end of the glacial period this sec-
tion of the country was the first to
acquire new vegetation, and from here
this vegetation spread gradually all
over the country. Dr. Cain illustrated
his lecture with colored slides.

A large number of biology students
and teachers attended the lecture.

Mr. Brubaker Friday

In Recital

Edward Brubaker, senior and four-
year student of the violin here, will be
presented in recital by the Fine Arts
department Friday evening, May 13, at
8 oVlock in Voorhees chapel. His
earlier studies were pursued for two
years under Miss Mildred E. Butcher,
formerly of the music department and
his advanced work under the super
vision of Miss Dorothy D. Home, pre-
sent instructor in violin.

The program ranges from the austere
classicism of Bach to the romanticism
of Kreisler, and is well chosen from
the standard literature of the instru-
ment. Mr. Brubaker will open with
Trte difficult and complex Allegro
from Beethoven's Sonata in F, fol-
lowed by two interesting Bach parti-
tas for unaccompanied violin. For his
last number Mr. Brubaker has pro-
grammed two movements from the
famous Saint-Saens B minor concerto,
a favorite number in the repetoire of
every great violinist.

Ruth Mack will accompany at the
piano and present a group of three
solos. The complete program follows:

Little Tammany Party
Sweeps H. Smith Into
Law Club Presidency

In a hotly contested election, Hugh
L. Smith was made Law club president
Wednesday evening in Athenian hall.
Running on a platform featuring a
"bigger and better law club" as its
main plank, Smith and his Little Tam-
many Party won out over the opposi-
tion candidate, Glenn Young.

A deciding factor in the outcome of
the election was the ^mpnigp bally-
hoo of Smith's manager, Horace B.
Brown. At the beginning of the meet-
ing an eight piece band swung into
action; banners were waved extolling
the "sincerety, honesty, and integrity"
of candidate Smith; Manager Brown
handed out cigars (?) wholesale and
offered to "kiss any babies over six-
teen."

Despite one or two murmurs that
the election was "fixed," the "Little
Tammany" program went off without
a hitch Brown made a stump speech
in which he stated, "Smith is the peo-

p»r a ateitt. i" CAiuinins the pro-

gressiveness of his candidate he de-
clared "The two most frequent words
Smith uses are "Excelsior! Excelsior!"
Brown's work in the campaign netted
him the vice presidency, while .Louise
Proffitt was electol secretary, and de-
feated candidate Young was consoled
with the office of treasurer. Gordon

Ten Honors Work
Students Chosen

Juniors Will Do Research
Work In Six Fields

Following several weeks of consid-
eration of applications for honors work
next year, Dr. E. R. Hunter, chairman
of the faculty committee on honors
study, announced today that ten jun-
iors have been approved.

The ten candidates selected will do
their projects, either research or
special reading, in six different sub-
ject fields. The work will be carried
on under the direct supervision of a
teacher in the particular department
in which the study is being made,
will probably carry six semester hon-
ors of credit, and will require an oral
examination on its completion next
spring.

William Alston and Wilbert Loo-
loian are to work on some phase of
biology. Bruce Morgan, Edith Gillette,
and Robert Brandriff will do research
in the English department, and Knox
Coit will make a study of an impor-
tant branch of philosophy. Etta Cul-
bertson and Ruth Moore are to work
under the supervision of the French
department, while Ivan Edder has
chosen chemistry as his field of con-
centration. Harriet Walkup, a transfer
student here, has been given a tenta-
tive approval to work in Bible and
Religious education, to be fully deter-
mined after a year's residence. There
are one or two late applications still
to be acted on, according to Dr. Hunter.

The other members of the commit -
lee on honors work are Dr. E. W.
Davis, Dr F. D. McClelland, and Pro-
fessor George D. Howell The mini-
mum requirement for acceptance is a
grade average of 4.5 in general scholar-
ship, and a 5.5 average in the major
subject in which the work is to be
done. Only a limited number of stu-
dents are selected from the list of ap-
plicants each year.

Hunter Publishes
Article On Speech

Discovers Freshman Taboos
With Echo Ex-Editor

A recent article by Dr. E. R. Hunter,
head of the English department and
Bernice E. Gaines, '37, former editor
of the Highland Echo has received
nation-wide publicity this week. Thje
article, called "Verbal Taboos in a
College Community," appears in the
current number of "American Speech,"
a quarterly of linguistic usage pub-
lished by the Columbia university
press. Immediately the object of wide-
spread interest and comment, it was
seized upon by alert newshawks and
is reported in the latest issue of 'Time"
and in a national Associated Press dis-
patch.

The article is the result of a study
on vocabulary inhibitions conducted
here last year by Dr. Hunter and tab-
ulated by Miss Gaines. The purpose of
the work was to check if possible in a
somewhat scientific manner the cur-
rent impression that the younger gen-
eration has no taboos in regard to word
use as well as otherwise. A list of

Unfinished Symphony

In Disc Club Friday

Franz Schubert's immortal B minor
symphony will be played at the meet-
ing of the Disc club Friday afternoon
at 4:30. If the weather permits the re-
cording will be heard outdoors on the
lawn north of the chapel, otherwise in
the Fine Arts studio. Sam Cornelius
is the commentator.

This symphony, more generally
known as the "Unfinished," is one of
Schubert's two surviving works in this
form and in its lyricism and song-like
quality is almost in a class by itself. It
is probable that the composer never
heard even the two completed move-
ments, as there is no record of a pub-
lic performance until almost forty
years after his death.

McCurry, for the past 17 years super-
visor of men's residence and friend and
advisor to many generations of col-
lege students. The faculty section will
include this year portraits of both
President Ralph W. Lloyd and Presi-
dent Emeritus Samuel Tyndale Wil-
son.

The class sponsors, elected last fall,
whose pictures will be released in the
year book are Constance Johnson, sen-
ior; Harriet Barber, junior; Sara Lee
Heliums, sophomore; and Jean Mc-
Cammon, freshman. A new feature
this year is a group of informal pic-
tures of prominent members of the
student body who were elected to re-
present Maryville college in Who's Who
in American Colleges and Universities
lor 1938.

The first section in the book is
composed of individual pictures of the
graduating class, six to a page, and
gives the home address, major, society,
and activities of each senior. Thi = in-
formation is limited this year to the
most important campus activities. Fol-
lowing the senior section is the class
of '39 with 18 pictures to the page, and
including the home and major sub-
jects. The class of 1940 has 20 pictures
to the page and that of 1941, 28 to each
page. The index of the new Chilhowean
lists the following sections: Official-
dom, The Classes, Fine Arts, Athletics,
Activities, and Features.

Members of the chilhowean staff
this year include Fred Bruce Morgan,
Jr., editor-in-chief; Weldon Baird, bus-
iness manager; Helen Bobo, associate
editor; Curtmarie Brown, feature tdi-
tor, Etta Culbertson, activities editor;
Fred Rhody, sports editor; George

Rehearsals Are Begun
On Senior Class Play
Beggar On Horseback

Rehearsals began this week on "Beg-
gar On Horseback," the senior play,
which will be presented May 28. This
play had successful runs in New York
and London, and has been called the
height of expressionism.

The story deals with a young musi-
cian who is tempted to marry into s
wealthy family in order to improve
his own position. He dreams that he
has married this girl, and the dream
reveals to him the life that will be his
when he does marry her. He is alarm-
ed but in due time discovers his mis-
take and realizes that it was all s
dream.

Don Stevens will play the part of
Neil, the young musician. Lois Black
will be Gladys, the wealthy young girl;
and Gloria Miller is Cynthia, the other
girl.

The play is a comedy blended with
serious meaning. It is a satire on Am-
ericans and American life, and dis-
closes a common attitude toward liv-
ing. The technical achievements pro-
duce an amazing effect.

The committees for the play are as
follows:

Business managers Reese Scul! and

Edith Pierce
Production manager Max Cornelius
Mistress of Wadrobe Irene Browder
Publicity manager Walter W

TALK Of THE WEEK . By Arlene Phelps

SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1938

Welcoming Back Our Friend

Next week Maryville college expects to welcome back
its beloved and much missed pastor, Dr. William Patton
Stevenson. In view of his more than twenty years of real
service to the school we do not begrudge him this deserved
vacation— but simply to say that he has been missed is in-
adequate.

To those students who have had the opportunity of
listening to Dr. Stevenson in his addresses on Wednesday
morning and at the Sunday evennig vespers service there
has been something definitely missing from the college life
this winter. The same services have been held, often with
interesting and capable speakers, but somehow they have
lacked the understanding touch that is so characteristically
Dr. Stevenson's.

' ' It "is seldom in a lifetime that one meets a pastor who

' is able to maintain the same high level for his sermons as

he has, and anyone who ras ever listened; to Dr. Stevenson

' speak on Sunday evening or welcome new students at the
YMCA pow-wow in the fall has immediately felt that he
was a friend. . >

We do not always have the opportunity to know Dr.
Stevenson personally but simply to hear him speak and
know that he is here makes us feel that he is our true and
sympathetic friend.

The expression may be trite but the idea is still true
when we say that Dr. Stevenson's absence has only en-

m deared him to us more and that we are eagerly awaiting

smhLs return to the vesper services for the rest of this year
and for many years to come.

Certain Minor Changes

We are not accusing the Athletic Board of Control of
trying to put anything over on the student body but it
would seem a little more logical to read the "certain minor
changes proposed in the constitution" before they are vot-
ed on, . . ,

. i Th« board doubtless knows how to run its own busi-
ness, but when it proposes a change in its constitution and
asks the students to vote on it they would appreciate a
chance to know what they are voting for.

This was probably just an attempt to save the time
that would have been wasted by reading a long document
but the Highland Echo is glad to publish any such propos-
ed changes— and the bulletin boards are always available.

CONCLUSION

After debating both sides of the Pi Kappa Delta

question on compulsory arbitration for several months, I
sat down this week to decide just what my own opinions
on the subject are. Expressed in as few words as possible,
the net result is this: labor-capital conflict has created a
serious situation, and yet giving the National Labor Re-
lations board the power of enforcing arbitration is not the
remedy.

There are certain practical difficulties that make com-
pulsory arbitration undesirable. Enforcing arbitration
means that the NLRB must enter a dispute where differ-
ences over wages are involved and determine a just wage.
In such a situation there are many difficult matters to be
considered such as the living standards and purchasing
power of the workers. Some say that the board must not
only set wages, but the profits and prices of the industry.
At any rate the point is clear: so many things must be tak-
en into consideration that no one can be sure that the wage
will be fair to either capital or labor.

ENFORCEMENT

An even greater difficulty is the matter of enforce-
ment. Obviously to make such a power effective, the board
must have some method of coercing labor to accept its
decisions when dissatisfied with them. Military force and
imprisonment are impractical because of the large num-
bers of men frequently involved. Such measures would- in-
evitably bring in the violence and blood-shed which we
are attempting to avoid.

The Maryville squad hatched up a plan of enforce-
ment that involves removing union recognition privileges
of the Wagner act. But the idea was based on pure "bull"
and nothing else. Such a measure of enforcement would
mean only that the government would declare the strike
illegal. And what does a union care about having its strikes
declared illegal? Injunctions against the sit-down strikes
made them illegal, but that was a mere technicality to the
union leaders and had no influence on the final outcome.

Because of the impracticability of enforcing its awards,
the board would be forced to make most of its decisions
in favor of labor. That is exactly what happened in New
Zealand, and the system worked only as long as prosperity
lasted and capital could grant what was demanded of it.
When depression came, however, the whole house of cards
fell to pieces. Capital found itself in a situation where it
must lower costs in order to meet adverse price conditions.
Labor resisted the wage cuts, and New Zealand was no
longer "the land without strikes."

THE ANSWER

The probable answer to the situation lies in the pre-
sent provisions of the Wagner act. Since the validation of
the law by the Supreme court a year ago last April, the
NLRB has been putting interpretations on the act that have
considerably broadened its powers. The decisions in which
these recent interpretations were made are this wee.k be-
uiB put under lire "in the UTS. Circuit Court of Appeals,
and the court's decision means much to the future effec-
tiveness of the Wagner act.

In the H.J. Heinz and Inland Steel cases, the NLRB
stated that "a written agreement between employer and
employee is an integral element in the collective bargain-
ing process." In other words, employers who thought they
were fulfilling the collective bargaining provisions of the
act by just "talking," drew an erroneous conclusion. They
must work toward the end that an argument may be
reached.

A recent news dispatch in a Knoxville paper states
that the NLRB is about to adopt a new policy of with-
drawing the protection of the act from labor if labor does
not work toward the end that an agreement is reached. If
that policy be adopted — and there is no reason why it
can't be— the NLRB will have a method of coercing both
labor and capital to agree on their differences. If it uses
this new power wisely, the NLRB may be able to do much
toward insuring industrial peace for America.

Exchange Notes

By Sara Lee Heliums

Reporter Barely Escapes With Life
On Inquiring About Comprehensives

THE BIRTH OF THE DIONNE QUINTUPLETS a few

years ago centered attention on what is to many people an
unfamiliar figure, the old country doctor. Dr. William Mc-
Cartney, in his book, Fifty Years a Country Doctor, relates
the joys and sorrows he has had in his profession, and
claims that after fifty years he would not trade his ex-
periences for anything in the world. But continual change
in most aspects of our daily life leads us to believe that
someday the general practitioner, the country doctor, and
thje old family physician will be swallowed up in what is
known as "socialized medicine." This is already a big issue
in medical circles. The California Medical Association bolt-
ed from the American Medical Association over it. Upon
their being re-instated, a resolution was passed at the 1936
meeting of the association condemning the practice in
California where a patient could walk into a hospital, have
a complete diagnosis by X-ray men, and be examined by
specialists as taking the prerogative of diagnosis away from
the practicing physician. There are things to be said on
both sides: the benefits both to the patient and the doctor
from socialized medicine are recognizable as are the loss
of independence for the physician and that personal touch
for the patient.

• • • •
SOCIALIZED EDUCATION has been proposed in educa-
tional circles. Dr. E. B. Wesley, writing in the Annals of
the American Academy of Political Science for Novem-
ber 1SJ35, suggests that we must turn from anachronism of
an individualistic education in a socialized age. He says
we must keep pace with the times, and in an age when we
are becoming so inter-dependent we must have education
that stresses the group rather than the individual.

• • • •

AND PHILADELPHIA IS PROUD of a movement that was
started there sortie years ago when the lawyers of the city
banded together and formed an organization to provide
for defending persons brought before the courts who could
not otherwise afford a lawyer. If carried to a further
conclusion, this group may be the forerunners of socialized
law practices.

HATS DISTINGUISH MEN, but the distinction is not al-
ways complimentary. We are reminded of our high school
teacher who wore a wide-brimmed sombrero in order, we
th#nk, to make himself something that he wasn't. He was
good-natured enough to take a lot of kidding about his
headgear, and on class night the seniors gave him a new
hat because they had ruined the old one carrying water in
it. But we would rather see men without hats than see
them wear ones that do not fit and in contour and shape
produce a variety of impressions to imaginative people.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PDXEVILLE, Ken-
tucky, is unusual in that the business of the day is always
begun with a short prayer service of the bank's employees
led by one of the officials of the bank.

The naive and simple-minded re-i
porter who thought it would be flirt
to see what the seniors thought about
comprehensives is a sadder and a wis-
er girl today. After having narrowly
escaped with her life and a meager
stock of answers. The general impres-
sion left by the majority of those she
tried to interview was that it is a love-
ly day, we enjoyed the orchestra con-
cert, but as for mentioning the word
"comprehensive"— it just isn't being
done.

The answers to her questions ran the
gamut of highly emotional expression
from the wilted, going-to-end-it-all
"Go away and leave me 'lone" to the
quiet, smiling "I enjoyed them im-
mensely" from, between clenched teeth.
One dishevelled co-ed,, hhnking blood-
shot eyes, tried to be helpful by out-
lining a. program, for. little brothers
and sisters of the graduating class, not
yet out of grammar school, in which
they are to.,, begin to gather material
with a definite end in view. This in. it-
self is an indication of the fate of mind
prevailing, for who, in their usual
minds, would think that their little
brother and sister had done anything
to deserve such a fate. There is al-
ways the Foreign Legion.

One unusual aspect of the interviews
w„c »v.» t-^ were all conducted
standing. The depleted brain-trusters
exhibited a common determination not
to be tricked into a sitting position on
any account. No reason was given, but
in this reporter's estimation, watever
the cause, it is a good idea because in

HUNTER'S ARTICLE

(Continued from page one)
some 62 socially questionable words
was compiled and submitted to the en-
tire freshman class, 48 members of the
faculty, and an equal number of sen-
iors. The results indicate that men are
freer in their use of words than wo-
men, that freshmen are far more in-
hibited in their speech than seniors,
and that the faculty is approximately
halfway between the two extremes.

The participants in the examination
were asked to show in checking each
word if they use it (1) as freely as cat
or dog, (2) with a feeling of being
bold or modern, (3) only when talk-
ing to intimates, (4) never if they
could avoid it, (5) never under any
circumstances. The unexpected re
straint exhibited by the freshmen was
notable, and explained by their pro
bable attitude "that a project in a class
room with a teacher handing out the
papers called for decorous checking on
their part; but, after all," the study
points out, "that is one of the aspects
of taboo."

Numerically, the seniors were most
restrained on 2% of the words, the
freshmen 73%, the faculty 247c In
only three instances did words re-
ceive unanimous approval, and that
was by the seniors. The words were
"die," "stomach," and "sick."

The English majors appear to have
been hardest hit. Their brains were
probably softened to begin with. To
a man they have that haunted, head-
achey look of minds slowly decompos-
ing under the corruptive influence of
misinformation about 1500 years of
literature. No class should be forced to
be so mistaken about so much; there
are limits to what one can't know.

The real tragedy of the comprehen-
sives is not the grade-point deficit, but
the chagrin of those students who had
planned to celebrate in a big way
when all was over. They staggered
home, pale and weak-kneed after two
successive , nights of coffee and toast
instead of sleep, too tired to dp any-
thing but go to bed. Life is just one big
disappointment

To relieve the tension of exams, El-

special musical program each after-

Simplicity

Since the day of the week is not al-
ways announced the day ahead in
chapel, here is a simple process of
determining the day in the week: To-
day was tomorrow, yesterday; yester-
day was today, yesterday; tomorrow
was today, yesterday; yesterday will be
today tomorrow. Therefore yesterday,
today and tomorrow the the same day.
Things equal to the same thing are
equal to each other. Consequently,
yesterday and tomorrow, aire today.
But, neither yesterday nor tomorrow
exist today; so that every day is to-
day. It is just that simple. .,-,

NIG JUST PITCHES EM IN—

While talking to "Nig" Wilburne the other day I
asked him how he pitched that one hit game against Lin-
coln Memorial Tuesday. "Nig" said, "Well, I just threw
'em in there, and they sure knocked the cover off the ball,
but just as soon as the ball got hit someone would jump up
in front of it." Well, "Nig," that's what it takes to make
a good ball club. A good pitcher and good support. They
just go hand in hand. By the way, that's Nig's second
shutout of the season.

CHAMPS GALORE— WE HOPE—

Looks like we have some championship teams here
this spring In baseball, our Honakermen have lost only
one Conference game this season. That being to L.M.U.
The track team looks like it might win the SMC this
spring. The odds are all on 'em. The tennis team is also
looking mighty good right now. Well, it will be nice to
have three championship teams all at once on the Hill.
Maybe we are counting our chickens too soon.

They tell us that those softball games being played
in the intramural tournament, are really something.

Lefty is on the shelf., Hernandez received a slight
side injury last Tuesday when he slid into the plate. The
injury is not serious, and we expect Lefty to be back in

In the meantime his position is being filled by Lamar
Russell. Russell, althotfgh weak at the bat, is a fairly good
fielder, and we will probably see some action from him
next year.

SPECIAL MEETING—

The track team is holding a special session of the
"Prayer Meeting" for Junior Odell today while they are
on their trip to Johnson City. Mr. Odell is on the track
team for the first time ; this year being his first year for
that sport. It will be a rare treat for some of the boys to
get even with the Mr. Odell. And Junior admits that it has
been a long time since he has taken his degree, so go easy
on him won't you Joe, Fred, and Guy.

Talmage Ties 100 Record To

Lead Highlanders To

Win Over Milligan

Maryville's timber toppers over-
whelmed last year's Conference champ-
ioons, Milligan, by the score of 109 1-2
to 20 1-2. The Highlanders copped ev-
ery first place except the high jump,
which was a tie between Archer and
Alderson of Milligan.

Roy Talmage, Scot captain, tied the
record of 10 seconds flat in the hun-
dred yard dash. Talmage also won the
220 yd. dash and the 220 yd. low hurd-
les. Maryville swept the mile run, the
discus and the 440 yd dash, taking
first, second, and third in each event.
The three Baird laddies came through
with their usual quota of points. Wel-
don took first in the. discus, 440, yd.
dash, the javelin, and ran second in
the; 220 yd. dash. Ml won the 880 yd.
run, and was second in the discus, and
third in the 440. This was the last
practice meet before the Conference

Scots Favored To
Win Conference

Today Coach Robert Thrower's thin -
ly-clads are in Johnson City where the
Smoky Mountain Track meet is be-
ing held. This is the fifth Confereence
meet. The Highlanders have won three
out of the past four meets, losing last
year to the Milligan Buffaloes.

According to all figures the Scots
are heavy favorites to win the meet.
So far in the season they have defeat-
ed LMU, and Milligan, two of the four
teams entered in the meet. The other
team being East Tennessee Teachers.

Next Saturday, the State Meet at
Knoxville -will be held. Although
Maryville is not favored to win, the
Highlanders are expected to garner
quite a few points. If Maryville should
come close to winning the State Meet
don't be too surprised.

The tennis team dealt L.M.U. a right hefty blow last
Tuesday when they defeated the Lincolnites by a score of
9 to 0. That is the largest score "that the team has made
this season and is far larger than any that they have had
scored against them. East Tennessee's win over the Scots
did not look so good however. When the two teams come
down here next week the Scots should come out on top.

The YMCA is closing its program of
interclass sports with a grand finale.
At present there are underway soft-
ball games, a tennis tournament, and
a golf tournament. On May the 17 and
18 there will be an interclass track
meet. So far there have been, only 4
interclass. softball games. The. standings
up to the present are:
TEAM .,' WON , LOST

Sophs .... ,..,'.. .2 ..'..,............ ^ 0 .

Juniors 1 ,0

Seniors 1 1

Frosh 0 3

The chedule for the rest of the games
follows:

Mondcy, May 9, Sr. vs Frosh
Wednesday, May 11, Sophs vs Frosh
Thursday, May 12, Sr. vs Jr.

In the tennis tournament there are
forty five men entered. It seems that
there are a good many fellows who
would like to have that cup, which I
hear is very nice. Although there are
only fourteen fellows entered in the
golf tournament, there should be some
interesting matches.

The track meet, that is to be held
May 17-18, has been put on two days
so that if it does not kill you the first

the next day.

The Y is offering such a wide field

something in which you can excell as

looking medals given to those who ex-
cell in the various sports.

Tennis Team Whips
LMU; Loses To ETT

Maryville's tennis team took to the
road last Monday and Tuesday to play
East Tennessee Teachers' college and
Lincoln Memorial University. The Scot
aggregation came out well against L.M.
U. by winning 9 to 0, but met defeat
when E.T.T. trounced them 7 to 2.

L.M.U was white washed by the
Maryville players and none of the
matches were even close Out of the
nine matches the combined winnings
of the opponents only amounted to 17
games. Morrow and Gillingham sailed
through the first two men in love sets
and rest were not far behind. The most
outstanding set of the game was when
Van Cise took his second set with the
loss of only three points during the
entire set.

East Tennessee Teachers presented a
much stronger team and Van Cise was
the only Maryville man winning his
singles match. Van Cise and Akana
combined to take the number three
doubles match and the only other
Maryville point. , r

Morrow, Gillingham, Colombo, Mc-
Caninldrr went down before Bullinger,
Rdbinetts, Boyer, and Sherrod with
only one match reaching duce sets.
Akana followed their footsteps when
Lundy defeated him in number six
position. All doubles matches were
equally sad with the exception of the
number three.

Maryville's netment get another
chance at the E.T.T. team next week
and the competition should be quite
a bit keener than it was this week.
They also will meet LMU and the Uni-
versity of Tennessee on the Maryville
courts. Both of the last matches should
be Scot victories.

Enslin Succeeds Rugh
As Ministerial Prexy
For Coming Semester

In the election held Monday even-
ing, Ernest' Enslin was elected presi-
dent of the Ministerial association. The
president-elect is now vice president
of the association, and will succeed
Donald Rugh to the leadership of the
organization.

Other officers elected at this meet-
ing were Everett Gray, vice president;
Robert Lamont, second vice president;
Philip Evaul, secretary-treasurer; and
Henry Millison, custodian. The asso-
ciation also adopted a revised consti-
tution which created the office of sec-
ond vice president by dividing the
duties of vice president.

The installation of the new officers
is scheduled for the regular meeting
Monday evening.

Scotties Take Lead In Conference With
Wins Over Milligan. And Lincoln Univ.

Loop Leading Scots Win Three Out of Four Games in Past
Week; Drop First SMC Loss to L.M.U.

Maryville by virtue of winning all but one of her Conference baseball
games played, has taken the lead in the Conference race. The Scotties have won
13 out of 16 starts. In the past week the Highlanders have won three out of
four Conference games, defeating L.M.U. twice, and dropping one to LMU, and
defeating Milligan once.

-^MILLIGAN

Last Monday the Milligan Buffaloes
were set down with two hits and one
run to lose to the Scots 2-1 The High-
landers bunched four hits to give Scot
Honaker, Maryville right-hander, his
victory over Milligan. Maryville scored
her two runs in the first inning when
Parker and Odell received free passes
to first, Wilburne then singled and
drove in the two runs. The game was
one of the most interesting played on
the Highlander's diamond this year.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL

The Scots won their second game of
the week last Tuesday, when Wilburne
sole southpaw for the Scots, pitched a
one hit, no run game to give the High-
landers a 12-0 victory over Lincoln
Memorial University. Wilburne had the
Railsplitters under his power at all
times. Only one man reached third for
Lincoln. His teammate fairly knocked
the cover off the ball to assist Wil-
burne in winning his second conference
game., "Lefty" Hernandez Maryviile's
f,irst baseman, received a slight injury
and. was forced to leave the game, in
the third inning. He is expected. ,to be
back soon though. ,, , ,, '.

DOUBLE HEADER

The Scots on Wednesday split
double-header with LMU, wining
first game 4-1, and dropping the,
ond game 3-2.

Ripper Collins pitched the first game
allowing the visitors only 1 hit. LMU
scored their run in the first inning and
held their slim lead until the fifth inn-
ing when Parker walked and Wilburne
singled. With Parker on third, the
Scots pulled the old squeeze play, with
Hughes bunting and Parker scoring.
Wilburne then stole second, and then
went to third when the catcher bung-
led the ball, and a few minutes later
scored when Davis was safe on an er-
ror. In the sixth the Scots scored two
more runs to put the game on ice for
them.

The second game was a tough one
for the Scotties to lose to the score
of 3-2. Parker, fireball artist, pitched
fine ball for Maryville but the Rail-
splitters managed to bunch their hits
to win the game. They scored two of
their runs in the third, when they
pulled three singles together and put
two runs across the plate.

"Macbeth as A Morality" Is
Subject Of Paper

A recent number of "The Shakes-
peare Association Bulletin" placed in
the library this week is found to con-
tain an article by the head of the
English department, Dr. E. R. Hunter,
entitled "Macbeth as a Morality," it is
a discussion of the aspects of the Eng-
lish moral plays evident in Shakes-
peare's great tragedy. The author ex-
amines the possibilities of an early
and continued acquaintance of Shake-
speare with the cycles of scripture
plays, and then in "Macbeth" itself
traces the development of two charac-
teristic morality themes: Good and evil
seeking the following of mankind, and
Man, yielding to the invitation of evil,
being led to destruction.

"The Shakespeare Association Bulle-
tin," a new periodical in our library, is
a quarterly publication of the Shake-
speare Association of America, an or-
ganization aimed "to unite all the lov-
ers of the poet and to encourage and
enlarge the widespread interest in his
works," and which includes among its
membership most of the great names in
American Shakespearean scholarship
today.

At a meeting of the French club
Wednesday evening in the chemistry
lecture room, moving pictures of var-
ious sections of France were shown.
Many scenic as well as architectural
beauties in Brittany and along the
Riveria were shown.

on their home diamond by a score of
7 to 1. Ripper Collins allowed only
three hits during the entire game, and
his expert control was unmatched by
Souder for LMU.

The most outstanding event of the

triple in the sixth with one man on.
Wilburno also did his share when he

(Con't. from Page 1)
will arrive May 24. Dr. and Mrs.
Stevenson have been through the canal
at least twice before, once before it
was entirely completed.

The trip was begun after Mrs. Stev-
enson had an attack of bronchial flue,
and it is hoped that she would im-
prove during the voyage. Since then
she has suffered a little with arthritis.

The annual spring picnic of the Wri-
ter's Workshop will be held Monday
afternoon, at the picnic grounds in the
college woods, starting at 4:30.

Fourteen new members are to be
initiated into the literary organization
during the outing. Miss Elizabeth H.
Jackson, Carolyn Harrar and Arthur
Byrne are members of the picnic com-
mittee.

At the last meeting, Don Stevens
was elected to represent the work-
shop on the program to be given by the
senior class as part of the class day
activities. He will probably read sev-
eral of his original poems.

Home Ec Class Has
Children's Party

The child care class in the Home
Economics department had one of its
regular parties for young children on
Tuesday afternoon. It was planned for
children between the ages of 3 to 5.
Students in the class planned the en-
tertainment for this party and are
planning for another one next week for
a different age group. After these two
parties the students will discuss their
observations of the children.

At Tuesday's party the children
played games, sang songs, and among
other things dramatized "The Three
Bears." For this play the children were
told the story, and then in acting it
out used make-believes things for
furniture and other properties.

Work on Roof And
Drive Progressing

The campus workers this week un-
der the supervision of Mr. E. C. Brown,
college engineer, have put a new roof
on the gymnasium. The building will
also be painted during the summer,
Mr. Brown reported. Work is also pro-
gressing on the new road from the
swimming pool to the back of Thaw
hall, and it will probably be ready for
use in a few weeks.

A group of workers have been plant-
ing alfalfa on the college farm this
week. Two teams of horses are being
used in the planting.

held on the way to the picnic grounds,
followed by a gypsy track meet and
fortune readings by coffee grounds.
John Thompson, Marianna Allen and

Dr. Stevenson
Resumes Duties
Sunday Evening

Returns From World Cruise

Wednesday; Greeted

By Crowd

Returned from a cruise around the
world, Dr. W. P. Stevenson will resume
his duties as college pastor in the
Vesper service Sunday evening at 7:00
in Voorhees chapel. Dr. Stevenson will
take as his subject "Paganism and
Christianity Contrasted." At the Wed-
nesday morning chapel service Dr.
Stevenson will discuss various phases
of his jounrey around the world.

Dr. Stevenson returned to Maryville
Wednesday morning at one o'clock by
plane and was met at the airport by a
throng of about 200 students and
friends. As the plane landed the college
choir directed by Professor Ralph Col-
bert sang the Alma Mater. Libby Ann
Huddleston presented the returning
couple with two bouquets in behalf of
the choir.

Mrs. Stevenson, ill from arthritis,
was carried from the plane into a wait-
ing car. She waved her hand in greet-
ing while Dr. Stevenson, seemingly
happy to be home, shook hands with
friends among the crowd.

The Stevensons embarked four
months ago on January 9 aboard the
S.S. Reliance in New York and land-
ed last week in Los Angeles. They
flew from there to Maryville rather
than take the long journey through
the Panama canal to the Atlantic cost.

The journey took them from Nav
York to the Maderia Islands, the first
stopping place, and on to Morrocco.
From there the travelers went north
to the French Riveria and Italy.

Approximately five hundred stu-

attended the junior recital of Edward
Brubaker, senior graduate in violin,
last evening in Voorhees chapel.

Brubaker, student of Dorothy Home,
played a difficult program, beginning
with the Sonata in F major for piano
and violin by Beethoven. He followed
this with a Partitas for violin alone, by
Bach; his accompanist, Ruth Mack,
played a group of three numbers,
Hark! Hark! the Lark, by Schubert-
Liszt; Lento, by Cyril Scott, and Ara-
gonaise, by Massenet; he played three
numbers and concluded his program
with the Concerto in B minor of Saint-
Saens.

The program was followed with a re-
ception in the Fine Arts studio in hon-
or of Dr. and Mrs. Lauren E. Brubaker,
parents of the violinist. Over a hun-
dred guests attended the reception. Dr.
Brubaker is pastor of the Flarlar Mem-
orial Presbyterian church in St. Aug-
ustine, Florida, and with Mrs. Bru-
baker is going to Princeton, New Jer-
sey, to attend the graduation of their
son from the seminary there.

Maryville Students
See Kentucky Derby
Lost By Their Horse

At least two Maryville students are
able to brag about having seen Law-
rin win the 1938 Kentucky Derby. Gor-
don Findlay and Winifred Corriston
left the campus on Friday morning,
May 7, and traveled by air (air you
going my way?) as far as Danville,
Kentucky, where they spent the night.
From there they went on to Louisville
Saturday morning and arrived at
Churchill Downs in ample time to find
good standing room.

According to Mr. Findlay, The Chief
was the favorite of the Maryville dele-
gation, to the extent of $2.00, to stick
his nose over the wire first, but that
$12.00 which was hopefully expected
from the investment never matured. In
an exclusive interview Thursday after-
noon, Mr. Findlay stated: "The Chief
is still running. You can't keep a good
horse down."

Following the running of the Derby,
Mr. Findlay and Mr. Corriston were
picked up by a car headed for Chatta-
nooga, and they arrived in Maryville
early Sunday morning after an all-
night drive.

Two Alumni associations of Mary-
ville college met recently in their re-
spective sections of the nation. The
eighth annual reunion and banquet of
the Atlantic Highlanders was held on
April 23, in Philadelphia, Pa., and that
of the Southern California club March
25, near Glendale, California.

A hundred and seventeen alumni
were present at the banquet of the
Atlantic Highlanders. Dr. R>Jph W.
Lloyd was the principal speaker of the
evening, giving a picture of Maryville
college as it is today. New officers
elected were: president, Rev. Lynn
Rankin, '31, of Gap, Pennsylvania; vice
president, Grace Proffitt, '35; secretary,
Harold F. Holman, '29; treasurer, Jo-
seph Truxton, Jr., '35, all of Philadel-
phia, Pa.

At the Southern California banquet,
Dr. Robert I. Gamon, a director of the
college, and Mrs. Gamon, and Rev.
and Mrs. Lester E. Bond were guests
of honor. Reports of recent athletic
and forensic achievements of the col-
lege were featured on the program, and
a portion of a letter from President
Lloyd was read. New officers elected
were: president, Dr. A. Ethel Fanson,

Annual Y Retreat

Pre-retreat Meeting Held

In Bartlett Hall

On Thursday

Rehearsals for the senior play, "Beg-
gar on Horseback" to be presented in
Voorhees chapel May 28th, are now
in their second week. This play which
is a Kaufman-Connelly satire, will be
the most elaborate drama ever pro-
duced on the Voorhees stage. The
scenery calls for an artist's garret, a
millionaire's mansion, a court room, a
modest country cottage, a cabaret, and
several offices. The unique part of the
scenery is that the garret scene re-
mains as a background for all the rest
of the scenery. John Wintermute and
Sam Cornelius are busy constructing
the scenery which has been designed
by Maxwell Cornelius.

Besides calling for the largest out-
lay of scenery, the play calls for the
largest cast of any stage play at Voor-
hees. Aside from the seven principals
in the cast, there will be a dozen and
a half minor roles to be filled.

A further innovation in the play is

that part of the action of the play

takes place in the audience. The acting

includes a wedding ceremony, a quad-

Knoxville Lawyer
Talks At Banquet

Forty-four members and guests of
the Law club attended a banquet Wed-
nesday evening in the Masonic hall. J.
C. Lowe, prominent Knoxville attor-
ney and chairman of the Smoky Moun-
tain Athletic Conference, was the
speaker of the evening.

Edward C. Jussely, retiring presi-
dent of the club, acted as toastmaster
for the evening. Mr. Jussely intro-
duced the newly-elected officers for
the next year; Hugh L. Smith, presi-
dent; Horace Brown, vice president;
Louise Proffitt, secretary; Glenn Young,
treasurer; and Gordon Findlay, ser-
geant-at-arms. Mr. Smith presented
Mr. Jussely with a rosewood gavel
from the club in recognition of his
services during the past year.

A feature attraction on the program
was several song and dance numbers
by Helen Wilhoit, accompanied by
Jerry Beaver. Miss Wilhoit did a spec-
ial tap-dance number while skipping
rope.

The subject of Mr. Lowe's address
was "Law as a Profession." He pointed
out the numerous possibilities of ser-
vice to other people which lawyers
have. Mr. Lowe used numerous illus-
trations to back up his statements. "The
law is a great profession and has un-
limited possibilities," as Mr. Lowe
stated it, was the theme of his speech.

Sixty five men and women retreated
to Line Springs this afternoon where
they will stay until Monday afternoon.
Old and new officers of the Vs, mem-
bers of both cabinets, and Nu Gamma
leaders are those who are attending
the Y retreat.

Besides the usual meetings planning
for next year's work, devotional ser-
vices, and mountain climbing, two fea-
tures of the week-end are Joe
Gamble's speaking at the banquet to
be held this evening and an address
by Rev. R. B. Hamilton tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30.

A pre-retreat meeting was held in
Bartlett hall Thursday evening to com-
plete Arrangements for going. Marvin
Minear and Clara Dale Echols, co-
chairmen of the steering committee,
explained further the real purpose of
Retreat, and a short devotional ser-
vice was led by Harriet Barber and
Vernon Lloyd.

Chaperones for the retreat will be
Dr. and Mrs. Frank D. McClelland and
Miss Susan A. Green.

Essay By McCurry
Wins Strong Medal

It has been announced that the Rush
Strong medal was unanimously award-
ed to Eugene McCurry for his essay
on "The Value of Truth." It is the
first time that the judges, who were
town people not in connection with
the college, have been unanimous in
their decision.

Under provisions of the will of Mr.
Benjamin Rush Strong of Knoxville, it
was stipulated that a gold medal, valu-
ed at "not less than fifteen, nor more
than twenty-five dollars," should be
awarded annually to the member of
the freshman class who submitted the
best essay upon the subject of "The
Value of Truth." This medal known as
the Rush Strong Medal is given this
year to Eugene McCurry. The runner-
up is Thomas Woolf.

Office Open This Morning;

Final Distribution

Wednesday

The 1938 Chilhowen arrived and the
first three hundred copies were distri-
buted Friday by Bruce Morgan, editor,
and other members of the staff. The
Chilhowean office was open this morn-
ing to fulfill further orders for the
book, and the final distribution will
take place on Wednesday.

The 124 page annual is bound in gar-
net leather with the College seal em-
bossed in orange. An outstanding fea-
ture ii the section of faculty pictures
which is complete for the first time
in several years. Two other new fea-
tures are the new arrangement of can-
did campus shots, which are exception-
ally good this year, and the section
honoring those students chosen to re-
present Maryville college in the 1938
Who's Who in American Colleges and
Universities.

This thirty-second volume of the
Chilhowean is dedicated to Mr. E. E.
McCurry, who has for 17 years been
supervisor of men's residence. Tri-
bute was also paid to President Emeri-
tus Samuel Tyndale Wilson.

Despite the fact that the 1938 Chil-
howean was limited in size by the con-
stitution adopted at the beginning of
the year, it is still large enough to in-
clude the following titles in its index,
officialdom, the classes, fine arts, ath-
letics, activities, and features.

Although published by the junior
class the year book was backed finan-
cially by the seniors whb put up a
guarantee deposit of one hundred dol-
lars.

Since the annual came out on the
credit side, this deposit will be return-
ed as soon as the books are audited
and checked. The hundred dollars de-
posit by the members of the junior
class will be returned at the same time.

Informal Concert

The Maryville college band will hold
an informal concert tonight at 8:00 in

to be held in the amphitheatre the
program, consisting mostly of marches
interspersed with a few other numbers,
will have to be in chapel because of
the weather.

Because of the numerous other acti-
vities of the music department this
year, the concert will not be as elabor-
ate as it was last spring. This concert
climaxes the year for members of the
band who have played at the football
games and at the May Day exercises.
It will be followed by a party for the
members of the band.

This will mark the last appearance

May Day Attendants
Fail To Catch Snipe
Despite Patient Wait

What are snipes? We don't know-
there aren't any in the part of the
country we come from. Of course there
are the human snipes, and very un-
popular people they are, too. But we
refer not to them, but to a small bird.

Noah Webster says a snipe is a small
shore-bird having a long beak, and
esteemed as a game bud. Ruth and
Sue think its a small bird like animal-
looks something like a bird yet cannot
fly, and that there are hundreds of
them about in the college woods.

Anyway, it all sums up to the fact
that Ruth Abercrombie and Sue Stev-
enson were left holding the bag. The
others, who were attending a picnic
of the people taking part in the May
day procession, left the two girls while
they all scattered around in the woods
and rounded up the snipes. Ruth and
Sue waited five minutes for the snipes
to come into view so that they could
catch them. Ten minutes! Twenty min-
utes! Thirty minutes! And yet no
snipes!

After thirty-five minutes some of the
others came back after the girls. But
women will be women — and never
have a joke on them too pointed. So
Ruth and Sue put a stick in the bag,
and tried to act if everything were on
the up and up, and claimed that they
had really caught a snipe.

UP OUR HALL

BU QEORQE HUNT

WE WERE AMAZED on Wednesday to find how extensive
the circulation of this newspaper is. A few weeks ago thjbs
column ran an item on the "Birth of a Baby" photographs
in Life magazine, saying that the consensus of opinion
among Maryville men seemed to be that if it were a
publicity stunt it was pretty bad publicity. Somehow Life
got a copy of that column, and Wednesday we got a letter
from an associate editor of the magazine, emphatically
stating that the printing of the pictures was not a publicity
stunt. Writes the executive: "We were merely continuing
our policy of publishing significant articles of health and
medicine, in cooperation with the various health campaigns
of leading medical groups for better national health I am
sure that you will realize that publicity of the type re-
ceived through banning of our publication is hardly the
type of publicity we desire or that — quite frankly— circu-
lation obtained from persons who purchased our publica-
tion in the hope of finding sensational material in it is not
thte type of circulation which would be of value to us for
such people would be disappointed and soon cease to pur-
chase copies." Since we hardly expected to have our doubts
cleared on this point, we greatly appreciate this letter
from Life magazine in which it is so well explained.
» » • » •

LIFE HAS ACHIEVED an enviable reputation in the pic-
ture magazine field. When it was first published not so
long ago people said that it was a craze like miniature golf
had been some time before. But Life is still going strong.
1903 is the date that opens the era of journalism when pic-
tures became an important part of the daily newspaper. In
that year a man named Harmworth* in England trans-
formed his newspaper, The Daily Mirror, into a daily with
pictures instead of news as the principal attraction.

WHY THE JEWS HAVE THE NAMES of Goldberg, Ro-
senbaum, and such like is an interesting story. In the
eighteenth century Austria was filled with Jews because
of the reiigious toleration it then offered. Most of them
only had two names, Isaac or Israel. Marie Theresa or-
dered every Jew to take a new name, one not used by
Christians, in order to avoid confusion. So names were
derived from minerals, flowers, and other such things,
and that was the origin of such present-day surnames as
Goldberg (gold mountain), Rosenbaum (rose tree) and
Rothchild (red sign).

WELL, IT DEPENDS ON how you look at it. We heard
of the cannibal chief who wondered how we were able to
consume so much human flesh during the last war. When
told we do not kill men to eat, he was shocked that we
would kill with no real object. Then we read thte other
day that Edward VII of England is supposed to have said
as he was dying, "If this goes on much longer I shall be
done for." , , I

THE SOPHOMORE COMPREHENSIVES showed us how
much we didn't know, but in self defense we believe that
not many students regardless of class could have answer-
ed some of the questions in the contemporary affairs test,
things we should know but don't. For instance, who was
Gabriel D'Annunzio, a prominent Italian who died last
year? What South American country late in 1937 set up
a totaitarian state? What is the new name of the Irish Free
State? What kind of government is in Poland today? What
is the meaning of the term Anschluss as applied to Europ-
ean politics? We think the tests were valuable as a re-
minder to us to read the daily paper more and keep up
with the world.

THE ORCHESTRA WINS

The college Symphony in its music week concert

Friday evening played some of the most difficult works
ever attempted by a Maryville orchestra and did them well.
Under director Colbert's leadership the orchestra bravely
attacked the Egmont Overture and parts of Beethoven's
Fourth Symphony. When all was said and done, the or-
chestra was definitely out on top.

Colbert in two years has done much toward building
up an orchestra that is a credit to the college. The organi-
zation which heretofore had never attempted anything
more difficult than waltzes and easy classical numbers has
been raised to a level where it can be of real educational
value.

The best performed work of the evening was the Eg-
mont Overture with which the program opened. The im-
pressive opening chords were firm and full, the difficult
finale magnificent. However, the orchestra did not again
attain such heights throughout the rest of the evening.

The flowing melodies of the Adigo and Allegro move-
ments of the Beethoven Fourth were beautifully played.
However, whenever the score called for pianissimo pas-
sages the result was uneven and rough. The orchestra
seems to play forte passages well, but invariably fails to
sections calling for the soft, even tones which are, after
all, the true test of a musical group.

The orchestra's performance of Tales from the Vienna
Woods was careless. Where the incomparable Strauss
melodies should have been smooth and flowing, the per-
formance of the orchestra was unpolished and frequently
discordant. Mr. Colbert in conducting the work ignored
many of the liberties of interpretation that add so mucnj
to the beauty of a Strauss waltz.

Zula Vance, soloist of the evening, played the beautiful
melodic passages of the Mendelssohn concerto with nice
feeling and expression. The more difficult phrases were
sometimes hurried and not always clear and distinct, but
nevertheless they were played, which is compliment
enough for a student pianist attempting such a difficult
work.

A PARADOXICAL SITUATION

The action of Mayor Hague last week in preventing

Rep. O'Connel of Montana and Rep. Bernard of Minnesota
from speaking in Jersey City is absolutely indefensible.
Dictator" Hague, through his command over America*
legion members, who evidently haven't learned the war
.s over, has by the threat of open violence, denied Ameri-
can citizens one of the most fundamental or American
rights — that of free speech and assembly.

Hague's position is rather paradoxical. He wishes to
preserve America against the inroads of radicalism, and yet
the methods he uses to accomplish that end destroy' the
very thing he is attempting to preserve. By some stretch
of the imagination he thinks himself preserving Ameri-
can rights by denying them.

One of Hague's lieutenants, Col. George T. Vickers,
Republican attorney and former commander of the Fourth
New Jersey Infantry, made the statement, "let those that
try to come to Jersey City and teachi doctrines foreign
to our Constitution take the consequences under the law,
whether the malefactors be a former presidential candi-
date or a congressman not entitled to any more considera-
tion than an ordinary citizen."

By what stretch of his law learning does attorney
Vickers think 800 war veterans "each with two feet of
rubber hose constitutes "the consequences under the law!"
What is more "foreign to our Constitution" than the mob
action threatened by the Legionaires. Mr. Vickers states
that the congressmen aren't "entitled to any more con-
sideration than an ordinary citizen." In Heaven's name,
Mr. Vickers, just what are your ideas concerning the rights
of an ordinary citizen!

Fits and Fizzles

oq FRED RHODU

It just ain't fair! In all our years of weary toil for
this column we've never yet received even so much as an
offer of a $2,000-a-week contract from a news syndicate;
and yet that upstart Hunt, hardly out of his journalistic
baby clothes, so to speak, has been getting all kinds of fan
mail already! The letters keep pouring in to him— re-
quests for photographs and autographs, proposals of mar-
riage—from Michigan, New York, and where-not. Any day
now he is looking for one from Knoxville even.

And those fellows who write the sports column!! It's
getting so that they have to use the window to get in and
out of their room, because the mail is piled so high at
their door every day. Practically every radio comedian
on the air is after them to write gags for them, and Grant-
land Rice is tearing his hair out worrying over the loss
of prestige. It's even rumored that Coach Honaker has
offered the boys a good job (doing anything except writ-
ing a sports column).

But what cuts us to the quickest, is that Pflanze's
comic strip, Signs of the Times, has literally taken the
humor-loving American public by storm. The benevolent
readers have taken Otto and his tender quips into their
very arms. Congress has even voted to urge Pflanze to re-
tire from active life, and has offered him a comfortable
pension.

"M" Club Outing

Fifteen members of the M club left
this noon for a week-end in the moun-
tains. Some of the girls planned to
walk the fifteen miles to the cabin.
Their destination was the Gamble cot-
tage near Walland.

Mrs. Verton M. Queener went with
the girls and took the supplies up in
her car. They will return sometime late
Sunday.

This is the annual M club hike. Plans
for admission of the new members will
be made during the week-end.

The M club is composed of all girls
who have won their letter award by
earning 400 points or more in point
system. Edith Pierce is president of

Rehearse Class Play

ruple murder, a trial, and plenty of
laughs.

Malcolm Miller, in his column "Music
and Drama" last Sunday in the Knox-
ville Journal gave an interesting side-
light on the title of the play. The title
is drawn from Robert Burton, a 16th
century writer, who established a say-
ing, "Set a beggar on horseback and
he will ride a gallop." This may be
further traced to an old German pro-
verb, "Set a beggar on horseback and
he will outride the devil."

Despite the humor and satire of the
play, Mr. Miller concludes, "With all
its humor and -satire, the play has a
wistful quality that is quite arresting,
and it drives home a lesson in idealism
that lingers long in one's memory."

Dr. And Mrs. Lloyd
Entertain Seniors

On Thursday of this week seniors
received invitations to dinner at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Lloyd
on Thursday evening, May 19.

It has been the custom of the presi-
dent and Mrs. Lloyd for several years
to entertain the graduating class at
breakfast. This year they are extending
their graciousness to make the occasion
an informal dinner.

The invitations came as a nice sur-
prise, and seniors are anticipating an
enjoyable affair.

Highland Echo Staff

To Hold Picnic Wed.

Instead of the annual banquet, mem-
bers of the Highland Echo staff will
hold a picnic in the college woods
Wednesday afternoon from 5 until 8.
Members of the committee in charge
of arrangements are George Hunt,
Ruth Abercrombie and Jean White.

Special guests of the staff will be
members of the faculty committee on
publications, Miss Almira Bassett, Prof.
Verton M. Queener, Prof. Edgar Roy
Walker, and Dr. Hill Shine.

Sodium Lights, etc.

As a result of some scientific experi-
ments conducted by the physical
science classes at F.S.G.W., it was pre-
dicted that it is only a matter of time
until babies will sleep in sound-proof
rooms, and old interior decora-
tions will be changed simply by chang-
ing the quality of light, which changes
the apparent color of the fabric. So-
dium and ultra-violet lights were used
also in the experiments, the latter
showing up only the eyeballs, teeth,
and fingernails in a dark room as a
result of their becoming luminous.

Tennessean In Distress

Thte YWCA at F.S.C.W. is sponsoring

for discarded books, dresses, bits of

isolated farm girl in Tennessee. In her
letter, the Tennessean says she lives
a great distance from any town and
finds it necessary to create her own
recreation. She says, "In the summer I
raise flowers, read when I have a
book at hand, make scrapbooks, and
sometimes I make dolls and pillow

TRACK—

Maryville's supremacy in the state meet at Johnson
City last Saturday was rather astonishing. With one of
their best members out because of injuries, the Scotties
still ran off with the honors by totaling up 67 points, mere
than 30 points above Lincoln Memorial who was runner-
up in the meet.

Talmage pulled his leg while running the 100 yd. dash.
Despite this injury, Talmage finished the event in first
place. He was expected to pull down three or four first
but his teammates carried on in excellent style.

Four old records were shattered by the Maryville
runners. Two of the Baird brothers accounted for two of
these records. Weldon set a new record of 1 :58 in the half-
mile, and Boydson shattered the old record in the mile
with the time of 4:36.2. Don Rugh also came through
with a new record in the two mile. The mile relay team set
a new record when Lloyd, Steakley, Bill Baird (the other
Baird brother) and Orr came in with a time of 3:27.

Despite the loss of Talmage, the Maryville team man-
aged to pile up a goodly number of points. The question
remains— what would have happened if Talmage had
been in there?

THE HIGHLAND ECHO MAY 14, 1938

TENNIS TEAM

The tennis team will play the men from U-T this af-
ternoon in case it doesn't rain. If it does they won't. But if
they should happen to play, just in case it does not rain,
the Scotties should come out well on top of the men from
Knoxville.

All indications seem to point to the fact that the Scots
will have a right handy win. If they do play and win, it
will be the first time that the Maryville team has defeat-
ed U-T in quite a number of years.

After that show last night the tennis team should do
something. They should win quite easily if they have the
same inspiration that they had at the show.

BASEBALL—

The Scotties' baseball team continues to win, and de-
spite everything it seems to come through all right. The
pill chasers have Just returned from a four day trip in
which they did not lose a game.

Milligan, Emory-Henry, and Teachers all succumb-
ed to the powerful Scots.

Collins bore the brunt of the mound work for the
Scotties. Parker and. Honaker relieved him of his duties
in the second game, but Collins again took it up on the last
day. "Ripper" allowed only one run in each game that he
pitched. Wilburne and Hernandez sustained injuries of a
minor nature when one forgot to duck and the other ran
into interference in home.

Maryville Tennis
Squad Starts On
Journey Monday

Chattanooga, Birmingham
Southern, and Ole Miss
To Play Scotties

Monday morning the Maryville ten-
nis team will start on its longest trip
of thle season. The Scotties will play
the University of Chattanooga, Bir-
mingham Southern, and Ole Miss in
the course of the journey. They will
end up at Memphis in time to take part
in the state tournament there and will
get home some time Saturday even-
ing.

From all present indications those
who will make the trip are Frank Mor-
row, Ed Gillingham, Russ Colombo, A.
R. McCammon, and Kenneth Van Cise.
Chattanooga will not present much
of an obstacle to the Scots for U.C.
was defeated in Maryville by a score
of 6 to 1. Chattanooga is expected to
give a some what better account of
itself at home, however.

Birmingham Southern presents a
problem, for the Maryville team hard-
ly nosed out the Southerners when
they played here, 4 to 3. Ole Miss is
an unknown, but it is certain that Mis-
sissippi has an above par team.

The state tournament at Memphis, J
where the tennis season of 1938 will be
brought to a close, is an event in which
every school in the state is invited to
participate. The best tennis players in
the state will be present, and Mary-
ville's best chance will probably lie
in the doubles tournament.

TENNIS—

East Tennessee Teachers' college gave the Maryville
team their second defeat when they trounced the Scots
soundly on the Maryville courts with a score of 5 to 2 last
Thursday The only players winning for the Scots were
Van Cise in singles, and Gillingham and Morrow in
doubles.

This last defeat definitely puts the Maryville netmen
out of the running for the conference crown in tennis for
tihs season.

Women To Hold Meet

In Pool Monday at 3:00

On Monday at 3:00 there will be a
swimming meet between Mr. Fisch-
bach's girls' beginners swimming class
and Mrs. Queener's. There will be en-
tries in diving, side stroke, crawl,
float, and backstroke. Relay races will
also be held between these two classes.

The semi-finals are nearly completed
in the women's tennis tournament.
Those already at the semi-finals are
Nicely, Eddins, and Todd. Watson and
Prince still have their match to play
off. It is hoped that the tournament will
be finished next week.

Scotties Scheduled To

Play U. of T. At Two

The tennis team of Maryville will
meet the net squad from the University
oJ Tennessee this afternoon at 2:00
on the Maryville courts.

This match will be the second time
that the two teams have met this sea-
son. Earlier in the season the Scots
journeyd to Knoxville where they
played the University with the results
of a 4 to 4 tie. The third doubles match
was not played for some reason.

This afternoon the Scotty team is
seeking revenge for that tie, and from
all indications the Maryville squad
should be victorious.

U-T has been defeated by Tusculum
and Birmingham Southern. Both of
these teams were beaten when they
met the Scots on their home ground.

This match will wind up the Scotties
home schedule.

The Maryville college baseball team
clinched the conference title last week
when they won two conference games,
and one game against Emory-Henry.
The baseball team has lost only one
conference game, that being to Lin-
coln Memorial, and has won 16 out of
19 games this season. Next week they
will complete the season with Teachers
and Emory-Henry.

The Scotties have been on a four
day trip the past week, playing Milli-
gan, Emory-Henry and Teachers col-
lege. They won the first game against
Milligan by the score of 11-1. Collins,
ace hurler, pitched a fine game for
the Highlanders to win the game easily
with the help of his slugging team-
mates. Against Emory-Henry the score
was 11-7 in the Scots favor. Honaker
started the game, and was relieved by
Don "Ace" Parker in the fourth. They
were rained out of the second game
with E-H. On Thursday they journeyd
to Johnson City to play Teachers col-
lege. With Ripper Collins once more
bearing the burden the Highlanders
won the game 5-1.

In the Milligan game Wilburne,
southpaw for the Scots, injured his leg
when he ran into the catcher at hlome.
"Lefty" Hernandez was hit in the face
with a ball in the game against Teach-
ers, and suffered a split lip.
Maryville 11 runs— Milligan 1 run.
Maryville 11 runs— Emory Henry 7 runs
Maryville 5 runs— Teachers 1 run.

Knoxville, Tenn,

Maryville's tennis team has suffered
one loss and has won one match this
week. First against LMU, the Scotties
won an easy match 5 to 2. But against
East Tennessee Teachers they met a
reversal when the Teachers turned the
score around and defeated the Scots
5 to 2.

Coach Fischbach gave some new
material an airing last Tuesday against
the LMU squad, and even then the
Maryville team was victorious. Van
Cise, Akana, Stevenson, and Augen-
stein playing in the first four posi-
tions, won their matches with compar-
ative ease. Gillingham, Morrow, Mc-
Cammon, and Colombo were given a
rest for the day while those in the
lower ratings carried on.

Van Cise and Akana had an equal-
ly easy win in the number one doub-
les match. The LMU squad managed to
take their two points when Felknor
was defeated in number fiv eand when
Stevenson and Smith were defeated
in number two doubles. The Scots de-
feated the Lincolnites on their own
courts some time ago by a score of 9
to 0.

ATHENIANS HEAR PAPERS

Athenian's meeting this evening will
feature the reading of several out-
standing papers from the Writers'
Workshop. The papers will be read by
thteir respective authors.

The meeting will begin at 6:45.

Maryville college trackmen fairly walked off with the
Smoky Mountain Conference track championship last
Saturday afternoon. Maryville took a total of seven first
places to win the meet easily. Maryville scored 67 points,
Lincoln Memorial 35 2-3, Milligan 35 2-3, and Teachers
college 22.

Records fell right and left as the Scotties broke four
between them; a total of nine records were broken all to-
gether. Weldon Baird set a new record in the half mile
with the fine time of 1:58 sec. Don Rugh crashed his own
old record in the two mile, winning the race handily in
the time of 10:8.2. Boydson Baird, one of the famous
Baird boys, broke the mile record by running the distance
in 4:36.2. The mile relay team composed of Lloyd, Steak-
ley, Bill Baird, and Orr, smashed the former record by
running the mile relay in 3 :27.

His injury will probably keep him
out of the State meet being held in
Knoxville today. If he is unable to
compete, Maryville's chances to win
the meet are very slim.

Weldon Baird was high point man
for Maryville, winning the discus, 440

total of fifteen points. Wallen, Tea-
chers college, also won three firsts to
tie for scoring honors with Weldon.

Today the Scots are at Knoxville at
the State meet. There will be over
six colleges at the meet, including the
University of Tennessee, Sewanee, Mil-
ligan, Lincoln Memorial, and other col-
leges of the state. Without Talmage to
run the dashes, Maryville will stand
only a very small chance to place first.

Gilbert the Goat Goes Gallivantin'

Bringing Confusion to Carnegians

Perhaps it was a bit late for con-
veniently receiving guests; but, never-
theless, Carnegie hall last Saturday
night played host to a rather disting-
uished visitor. Gilbert the Goat, who is
widely know as a conoisseur of rare
old tin, picturesque window curtains,
and ancient delectable manuscripts,
dropped in unexpectedly just before
midnight.

Gilbert comes from a long line of
goats. Even as a tiny goatlet, Gilbert
revealed his great hunger for know-
ledge. While the other young goats
would swallow any trashy, cheap books
and magazines which were put before
them, Gilbert ate nothing but the very
finest in the world's literature. He per-
suaded his mother to buy him the
Book of Knowledge, and Gilbert faith-
fully ate a chapter every night before
going to bed. So Gilbert grew up to be
a fine, well-educated goat.

But Gilbert always cherished in his
heart the desire to go to college. He
didn't want to be just a goat all his
life, and he thought that if he could
only get a sheepskin and BA, he would
no longer be a goat. Gilbert was un-
certain as to where he should go to
college. Many of his relatives were at
• U-T and other neighboring campuses,
. but Gilbert decided to take a look at
Maryville before making his decision.

An obliging freshman saw Gilbert
looking wistfully up toward the college
last Saturday night; and, supposing
that Gilbert wanted only the compan-
ionship of kindred spirits, brought him
•long home. "He looked lonesome," ex-
plained the freshman.

Having been invited inside Carnegie,
Gilbert made a thorough inspection of

the dormitory. The sleeping occupants
of the rooms interested him much less
than the contents of the waste-paper
baskets.

Bob Brandriff, on the fourth floor,
was awakened out of a sound sleep by
the business-like bustling-around of
Gilbert. Brandriff peered down into
the bewhiskered countenance of the
goat and mumbled, "Coit, I thought you
were in bed."

On the third floor, Gilbert stopped
in to exchange pleasantries with Jim-
mie Donaldson, who happened to be
asleep. Undisturbed by his host's ill-
manners in sleeping before company,
Gilbert went right to work on the
waste basket. When Donaldson woke
he called, "What are you looking for
at this time of the night, Ashby?" (He
apologized to Gilbert later, for the mis-
take.)

Gilbert was induced to spend the
night on the campus. Before taking
his departure he was asked how he
liked Maryville. "It's all right," he an-
swered, "but I'd rather attend college
where I'd get more attention; there
are already too many goats here."

Seniors To Give
1938 Class Play
Next Saturday

Kaufman-Connelly Drama

Is Distinctly A Satire

On Americans

CAST INCLUDES VETS

Contains Elaborate Outlay
^ Of Scenery; Seven
Major Roles

Next Saturday evening, May 28th, at
8:00 the senior class will present "Beg-
gar on Horseback," a Kaufman-Con-
nelly production. The cast includes
several of Maryville's veteran actors,
who appear for the last time.

The play was adapted from a Ger-
man play but has been so revised that
it is distinctly a satire on Americans
and American life. It contains an el-
aborate outlay of scenery, and besides
the seven principal characters, there
are a dozen minor roles. Some of the
action will take place in the audience.
This is something unusual and should
be very interesting.

Thjs production of Kaufman and
Connelly is especially noted for its
technical achievements. It concerns the
technique of a dream. There is comedy
blended with the serious meaning.

One of those making her last ap-
pearance in this play is Lois Black,
who will play the role of the giddy
Gladys Cady. Miss Black has already
been seen twice on the Maryville stage
this year in "Night Must Fall" and
"Pride and Prejudice." Her part is
that of the play-girl daughter of a
self-made man.

Don Stevens, who made his debut
earlier this year in "Pride and Pre-
judice," has the leading male role of
Neil McRae, poet and composer. It is
him about whose dream the whole play
centers.

Cynthia will be played by Gloria
Miller, who has played leads in such
productions as "The Purple Mask,"
"Landy Windmere's Fan" and "First
Lady." Her role is that of a sincere
girl, devoted to any cause she serves.

Marion Lodwick, who played the
part of the eccentric invalid in "Night
Must Fall," will be Mamma Cady. Cast
in the role of Dr. Albert Rice is George
Brown who will appear as a quiet
and studious doctor, although the
poet's nightmare pictures him in many
varied moods and poses.

Poppa Cady will be played by Lin-
coln Johnson, Homer Cady, the
grouchy, asthmatic son of the wealthy
Cadys, will be played by Walter West.

Some of the extras in the play are:
Bill Young, Deane Brown, Evelyn
Scott, John Guigou, Sam Fleming, Alice
Whitaker, Roy Talmage, Janet Tal-
mage, Bill Irwin, Don Rugh, Malcolm
Brown, Grace Kerley, and Kathryn
Adams.

Professor Publishes
Interesting Answer
From Economic'* Head

By JESSIE CASSADA

The semester program of training in
remedial reading for freshmen has
been completed and Dr. D. H. Briggs,
supervisor of the work, announces
somewhat encouraging results. This
training was undertaken in view of the
generally recognized situation describ-
ed in this statement from a bulletin
by the American Optical Company:
"Only 25 percent of students in school
today can read with efficiency. Three-
fourths are not more than 50 percent
efficient readers. In the majority of
cases of failing students, the chief dif-
ficulty is very often this inability to
read rapidly and with comprehension."
At the first of this semester the Iowa
Silent Reading Test was given to all
j freshmen, and those with the lower 50

percent of score were required to en-
roll in one of three classes to meet for
30 minute periods. The ophthalm-o-
graph was used to make a photogra-
phic record of eye movements; the
same was done at the end of the
course. As soon as the last film is dev-
eloped the two records will be com-
pared to measure improvement in

...:... . I ' -' the tyta T1^ total

of time spent in classes practicing rhy-
thm reading with metro-scope was
about 15 hours. Reading was begun on
high school material at the rate of 150
words per minute; at the end of the
course college matter was read at 325-
350 words per minute. Scores on daily
quizzes showed better comprehension
at the faster speed than at the beginn-
ing.

After the course was completed,
Form A of the same Iowa Test was
given to all freshmen. On comparing
scores the trained group showed an
increase in rate of reading equivalent
to 1 1-4 grades advancement, while
the undrilled half had lost one grade
level. In comprehension of material
read the drilled group gained 8 grade

?nr\ t)->n unrlrilloH 7 crvnrlo

As yet the loss of speed by the faster
half is not explained. An interesting
fact to note is that 40 percent of the
training group, and 35 percent of the
others, wear glasses.

This attempt has demonstrated its
value sufficiently that the college is en-
deavoring to obtain a fund of several
thousand dollars to begin a 5-year
program of more carefully administer-
ed instruction during this time.

Following is a letter received by a
Maryville student on applying f »r a
graduate fellowship. Prof. Verton M.
Queencr, Maryville debate coach, has
requested that this letter be published
for two reasons. First, because he
wants more people to try out for de-
bate. Second, because many students,
able to be on the debate squad, do
not try out because they see no value
in debate work.
Dear Mr.

"At tiie present moment I am giv-
ing serious consideration to your ap-
plication for a graduate fellowship at
Your record and testimonials are
all quite satisfactory and compliment-
ary.

"However, there is one very impor-
tant angle, from my point of view,
which is nowhere covered. Have you
had any experience in inter-collegiate

debating or oratory. Have you dona
anything outstanding in the field of
speech? One must be more than a good
scholar. If you have had any definite
experience or training along thc>e lines
I shall be glad to know about it."
Very' cordially yours,
Head of the Department of
Economics.

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1938

UP OUR HALL

B» QEORQE HUNT

THERE WAS REALLY A CASEY AT THE BAT. Back in
elementary school we remember the county contest when
a bunch of scared, stammering younsters would get on
the stage and recite poems to an audience of old maid
school teachers, some male teachers who had been roped
into the job, and proud mothers who had come to make
sure that little Cynthia got first prize. The choice of recit-
ations represented the school teachers' repertoire, and
ranged from "Sheridan's Ride" to an ode to some flower.
There was one girl in our school whose pride was "Casey
at the Bat." She did it with gusto, and often won prizes
with it. But we didn't know until we were reading Col-
lier's for May 21 that there really had been a Casey at the
bat. If you remember, Casey was pitcher and star batter
for a team called Mudville— in the poem. The insinuation
we don't like is that the real Casey was pitching for a
team called the Phillies— students from the City of Bro-
therly Love will remember that there used to be a team
there by that name.

THE REAL CASEY lives in Maryland now, and was last
year given a life pass to all big league baseball games. He
was on the radio some time ago and introduced as the
real hero of the poem which DeWolf Hopper made famous.

DR. STEVENSON'S REFERENCE to Richard Halliburton
on Wednesday morning recalled to us the time we heard
him speak. We have always thrilled at his stories of swim-
ming in the lake at the Taj Mahal and doing other things
that ordinary human beings don't do. The time we heard
him speak he was wearing a double breasted suit and came
out on the stage looking quite handsome. As he spoke, we
discovered he was an actor as well as a writer, for as he
described the thrilling things he did he acted them out
with gestures and even had the tremor of excitement in
bis voice.

Signs of the Times

6u OTTO PFLANZE . JR.

GLANCING THROUGH THIS WEEK'S TIME we saw a

letter to the editor that hit right home. A subscriber wrote:
"If that nasty article about taboo words is newsworthy, I'm
a Chinaman." Now we know what somebody thinks of our
English department's attempt to find out what we talk
about. The editor replied to the subscriber, "Some China-
men have funny names."

THERE WAS A PICTURE in the Journal on Wednesday
morning of German youth burning books that had been
ordered destroyed by the government. One boy was about
to throw a volume by Heinrich Heine, a Jewish poet, into
the fire. Hitler has ordered the large Austrian National
library destroyed for all "seditious" Hterature, and several
American colleges have telegraphed asking for some of
the priceless volumes in the collection.

IT WONT BE LONG NOW— and any freshman can tell
you what we mean. What we'll be looking for is some of
the good home cooking which we miss. We want to drop
in at a little Italian resturant on Chesnut street and have
a real Italian dinner— spaghetti covered with strong cheese,
rye bread that you break off and eat in hunks, tomato
sauce, and tiny meat balls without onions. It's served
by burly but polite Italians and backgrounded with music
by radio — it's our favorite "eating out" dish because the
rest of family doesn't like it.

THIS COLUMN HAS SERVED its apprenticeship and en-
joyed doing it. It wishes you a good summer, hoping all
of you get jobs — which we hope for ourselves — and want-
ing you all (such a Southern accent) to enjoy youreslves.
We'll probably bump into you in Atlantic City or on Mar-
ket street and be glad we've seen one familiar face from
old m.c. So long, and pax vobiscum.

The Year In Review

UNUSUAL ARTIST SERIES

A backward glance through the Echo's twenty-third
volume reveals a variety of outstanding programs that
would be a credit to any college whose purpose is to give
a liberal arts education.

The high spot in the college music program, of course,
was an unusual artist series with Moriz Rosenthal, Or-
lando Barera, and John Charles Thomas. Professor Geo.
D. Howell has this year undoubtedly given us three of the
greatest artists ever to appear in one series on the Mary-
ville college stage.

The name of Rosenthal will always bring to mind an
unforgetable interpretation of Lizt's "Second Hungarian
Rhapsody." While Barera stands out because of his mar-
velous exhibition of technical skill in Paganini's "I Palpiti."
• • • • •

OTHER MUSICAL PROGRAMS GOOD

High spot of the high spot, to be sure, was the per-
formance of John Charles Thomas and his accompanist,
Carrol Hollister. That concert brings to mind not one
work more perfectly done than the others but an entire
evening of wonderful music. The thrilling encore, "0 Du
Mein Holder Abendstern," the opening song, "Widmung,"
and Hollister's *'Clair de Lune" were only three pleasing
numbers in a perfect concert.

The Fine Arts department gave its usual long series
of consistently splendid musical programs. Before Christ-
mas there was a faculty recital and the annual presenta-
tion of the Messiah. Since the first of the year there have
followed in quick succession the light opera production,
Iolanthe, the band and college symphony concerts, and stu-
dent recitals too numerous to mention.

SPORTS AND DEBATE

As for sports the Highlanders have been signally suc-
cessful, ending the year with three conference champion-
ships in their clutches. Maryville has Smoky Mountain
conference wins in tennis, baseball, and track.

• In football the Scotties had a thrilling season, ending
just short of what would have been another conference
championship. The wrestling and basketball seasons, how-
ever, were not so successful. The number of wins only ba-
lanced the losses in basketball, and in wrestling the Scots
lost their first state championship in years.

The Maryville debate squad finished its season this
spring with an enviable list of important championshps to
its record. Most important perhaps, were the South At-
lantic Women's debate championship and the Women's
debate championship and the Tennessee state champion-
ship. Queener-coached speakers this year have accounted
for seven firsts, eleven seconds, and two. '.Imds in the

various contests of five tournp^eiit*.

DRAMATICS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS

Mrs. West has made an unusual contribution to Mary-
ville dramatics this year with three splendid plays: Pride
and Prejudice, First Lady, and Night Must Fall. Their ex-
cellence bears testimony to the wisdom of cutting down
the midwinters from four to two.

In connection with current affairs, the high spot of
the year's activities was the visit on the campus of Dr.
William E. Dodd. Though many could not agree with the
main idea of his address, no one can deny that he gave
one of the most instructive hours in the collegey ear.

Also worthy of note was the lecture of Lawrence E.
Fernsworth, Newspaper correspondent of the New York
Times, who gave a stirring defense of Loyalist Spain, and
the address before the Peace Forum of Dr. J. Wesley Hoff-
man of the University of Tennessee.

BOUQUETS TO TWO EDITORS

Before closing this commentary of the year's activities
recognition should be made of the splendid work of two
Maryville college editors: J. T. Hunt and Bruce Morgan.

From his necessarily subjective viewpoint, the col-
umnist thinks Hunt has done a good job editing the High-
land Echo. He has kept the office floor swept clean and
has put forth a magnificent effort to make the paper a
leading factor in college life.

Bruce Morgan deserves commendation especially be-
cause of the handicap under which he has worked. The
Chilhowean's income was cut almost in half last fall. And
yet Morgan has succeeded in putting out a distinctive year-
book that is a credit to his class and the college.

Orr Heads Seniors

(Continued From Page One)
At the same class meeting, the mem-
bers unanimously voted their approval
of a suggestion made by Gordon Ben-
nett concerning next year's senior play.
For several weeks Bennett has been
discussing with Dr. E. R. Hunter, head
of the English department, and other
interested persons, the possibility of the
class of '39 presenting a Shakespeare
play next year. In offering his idea to
the class, Bennett said that Dr. Hunter
had agreed to aid a group of seniors
next year in interpreting and cutting
a play, and that Mrs. Nita E. West
had agreed to coach such an undertak-
ing. If the suggestion is adopted by the
senior play committee, which is to be
appointed by President Orr, a group
of interested students will work with
Dr. Hunter during the first semester,
preparing the play to be turned over
to Mrs. West for rehearsals the second
semester.

Bennett emphasized that only by de-
voting the entire year to the task
could such a performance as a Shake-
spearean drama be successfully pre-
sented. A play of this nature, he said,
would give a large proportion of the
class some part in its preparation and
presentation, would be inexpensive to
produce, and would be a worthwhile
contribution to the cultural life on the
campus and in the community.

The decision as to whether or not
this plan for next year's senior play
is to be carried out rests with the play
committee, which has the authority to
make the choice of the play to be giv-
en.

For the sake of those poor souls who are terrified at
the prospect of having nothing to do during the long sum-
mer months, we have been persuaded to draw up a list of
practical, worthwhile suggestions as to how you can pro-
fitably spend your vacation period:

Ten Good Ways To Pass The Summer
1 — Wondering what you are going to do this summer.
2 — Wondering what you are going to do next summer.
3 — Wondering what, ywj did last summer.
4— Wondering when the president of that big corporation
is going to drop in to urge you to work for him all sum-
mer.
5 — Wondering why you were gullible enough to believe
those stories that Professor So-and-so would flunk you
no matter what.
6— Wondering whether it wouldn't be a pretty good idea

if you got a job on« of these summers soon.
7— Wondering whether she meant what she said when you
parted for the summer, or whether she has double-cross-

Summer is that black-magic time when all the teachers
skulk stealthily through the remote places of the earth
and its depths, seeking out secret recipes for the concoc-
tion of new infernal poisons and punishments — in the way
of more deadly tests; term papers which cause a slow,
tortous, lingering death instead of the quick merciful type
now in use — all, to use on their students in the coming
year. And summer is also that time when students search
the earth to discover better ways of taking life easy dur-
ing the coming school year.

The intrepid reporter does it again! In the early part
of June, Maryville's own sun of the journalistic universe
will embark on another adventure for the sake of fame,
fortune and fun! Leland Waggoner, accompanied by Ho-
race Brown and Tommy Woolf, plans to take a trip to
Europe this summer. While there, Waggoner will write for
a well-known Knoxville newspaper, whose name beings
with a "J."

They expect to see the sights from the saddles of three
tried and true bicycles. Leland, especially, is very apt to
get violently homesick. So, for his protection, Horace and
Tommy ask that lots of people write to Leland. Before
August 1, address letters c-0 American Express Co., 11 Rue

THE SPORTS EDITOR

"RIPPER" BILL

Bill "Ripper" Collins came through with the first no-
hit, no-run game of the year, when the Scots whitewashed
Emory and Henry here last Wednesday afternoon 4-0.
There was some discussion as to whether or not J. D.
Hughes comitted an error on that ball hit to him in the
ninth inning. The rules leave it up to the official score
keeper, and Born, manager and score-keeper, considered
the ball too hot to handle, and thus considered it an error
giving Collins his well-derserved no-hit game.

Whether or not you do give Bill the no-hit game, I cer-
tainly think you should give Collins plenty of credit for
pitching such a fine brand of ball the past season. Bearing
the brunt of the pitching assignments, he also did his
share at the plate, coming through more than once with a
timely hit. Orchids to you, Bill Collins.
WE WILL MISS THEM

This year has been a fairly successful one in the
history of the world of sports at Maryville ; we won two
Conference championships, one in baseball and one in
track, and we had a near champion football team, a fine
basketball team, good wrestling team, not such a bad
swimming team, and a strong tennis team. However, all
good things must come to an end, and this year we are
losing by graduation some of the finest athletes ever to
be on the Hill. From the football team we lose Proffitt, and
Renfro, two of the finest linemen in the conference this
year. Junior Odell, one of the good all around athletes
will also join the mortarboard parade. Guy Propst, one of
the finest wrestlers in the south will also be gone from
the ranks next year. One of the greatest track men to ever
be on the college team will graduate thisyear: Roy Tal-
mage and that is 'nuff said. In baseball we will lose a host
of men. Collins, Black, Evers, Parker, Hernandez. Who
will be able to replace these?

SENIORS...

We thank you for your patronage this year, and
extend best wishes for a successful future.

Maryville Second
In State Meet

Tennessee First With 61
Points ; Scots Score 48

Juniors Are Named
Interclass Champs

On a soggy track, the Tennessee Vols
last Saturday won the Tennessee Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association track
championship by scoring a total of 61
points. The nearest team, which was
the Maryville thinlyclads, garnered a
total of 48 points.

Other teams and their scores were:
Sewanee 20, Lincoln Memorial 15,
Chattanooga university 11 1-2, Tennes-
see Poly Institute 6, Milligan 3 1-2. The
wet track caused by heavy rains just
before the meet, prevented any re-
cord breaking times being turned in.

The Tennessee trackmen completely
dominated the events, taking eight first
places, and placing in every event but
the javelin throw. The Maryville Scot-
ties copped three first places, winning
the discus, the mile run, and the high
jump. Fred Tulloch won the discus
throw with a sail of 117 feet. Boydson
Baird won a thrilling mile race, runn-
ing third until the last lap, and then
pulling up to whip Willard Richardson
came through in the high jump to win
of U-T. "Cousin Joe" James Etheredge
with a jump of 5' 9 3-4".

Talmage's injury kept him out of the
scoring except a fourth in the 220 yd.
dash. If Talmage had been in shape, the
score would undoubtedly have been
very different, and probably Maryville
woud have won the meet.

O—

Before taking an examination, stu-
dents at universities in the thirteenth
century were often compelled to take
an oath not to kill the professor.

Arthur Peterson Selected

As Best All-Round

Athlete

The championship and the medals
to be given by the Athletic Department
of the YMCA in chapel on Award day
sometime next week have been an-
nounced by the Athletic Director Roy
Talmage.

The junior class was declared the
interclass champions, with the soph-
omores running a close second. The
juniors won the football champion-
ships, the basketball and volley ball
championships. The sophomores won
the swimming and baseball champion-
ships; while the freshmen won the
track championship.

Arthur Peterson, freshman, was de-
clared the best all-round athlete and
will be awarded a special champion
medal. The four men from the junior
team to win champion medals are:
Russ Colombo, Prestley McCaskie,
Clifford Proctor, and Omer Judy. The
other men to receive medals for being
outstanding athletes in all the ath-
letic contests are: Les Luxton (S),
Russell Stevenson (S), Harold Wick-
lund (S), T. Etheredge (S), James Mil-
ler (F), Warren Van Blarcom (F),
Reese Scull (Sr), James Bruce (Sr.),
George Mrown (Sr).

When universities were first be-
ginning in Europe in the thirteenth
century, the students were so power-
ful they made the professors obey
certain rules that they drew up.

Collins Pitches No-Hit,

Game Against E-H

The Maryville baseball team turned
in three more victories this week to
clinch the Conference title. The Scots
won from East Tennessee Teachers,
and took two games from Emory and
Henry. The Highlanders have won 20
out of 23 starts this season, and have
10 out of 11 Conference games, losing
only to LMU.

Bill Collins, ace right-hander, finish-
ed his baseball career at Maryville by
pitching a beautiful no hit, no run
game. Collins had the ball under per-
fect control at all times, and was nev-
er in danger. His teammates bunched
four hits, and took advantage of the
errors of Emory and Henry to score
four runs.

"Nig" Wilburne, southpaw, won the
second Emory and Henry game, allow-
ing his opponents six hits to one run,
while Maryville had a field day at bat,
collecting thirteen hits to score eight
runs.

Though we wish every graduate complete success
in his future, we know that most of you will have
to save to get the things you want from life, rather
than being so fortunate as to have them given you.
For this reason we urge every grad to open an ac-

Craine Completes
Study On Fossils

Eugene Craine, a junior, has recently
completed a work entitled A Treatise
On Fossils. He has dedicated his work
to the late Dr. J. H. McMurray, who
encouraged him in his work.

Craine used as a basis for his study
the fossils which are in the college
museum. He expresses as his purpose
in writing the paper, 'Ho bring a clear,
brief, and concise, yet comprehensive
study of geological history and of the
world of fossils to those who are not
technically interested in them."

The paper lists the way in which an
organism may be presented, the kinds
of mud, etc.. in which fossils have been
found. It discusses different fossil
types, and the different ages, periods,
and epochs with which fossils are as-
sociated.

Baird Is Elected
1939 Track Cap't.

Weldon Baird was voted the captain-
ship of the 1939 track team by his
teammates last Thursday. Baird was
a star trackman this year, running the
440 yd. dash, the half mile run, and
tossing the discus. At the Smoky
Mountain Conference meet this year,
Baird set a new record in the half
mile. He already holds the Conference
record in the 440 yd. dash, the discus
throw, and the half mile run. He also
holds the college records in those same
events. Weldon was a consistent point
getter this season, and was high point
man for the team.

MARYVILLE, TENN. SEPTEMBER 17, 1938

Retired Consul
At Peace Forum
Friday Evening

Edwin S. Cunningham, '89

Will Speak On War

In China

(■I

i

One of the best authorities in Amerl-
ca on far eastern affairs will address
Maryville students when Edwin S.
Cunningham, for twenty-three years
a United States Consul General in the
Orient, speaks in the Philosophy class-
room Friday evening at 6:45. Cunning-
ham will lecture on the war in China
in the first program of the year spon-
sored by the college Peace Forum.

Cunningham, a graduate of Maryville
college in the class of 1889, has one of
the most distinctive records of any
man in the consular service. He has
spent almost forty years as representa-
tive of the American government in
♦ such places as Arabia, Norway, South
Africa, India, China, and the British
port of Singapore.

Because of the fact that all but five
years of that period were spent in un-
healthy climates, Mr. Cunningham has
to his credit 57 years in the service,
1 1-2 years having been added for each
year spent in those countries. Only
four other officials have spent as long
a period in the U.S. Consular Service.

Since 1914 Mr. Cunningham has been
a Consul General in China. He has
spent five years in Hankow and sixteen
in Shangai. While in the latter place
lie received the honor of being made
a member of thfc Court of Consuls, on
which each country is represented by
only one of its consuls. In 1926 he be-
came senior consul.

Another mark of his distinctive ser-
vice is seen in his work on numerous
committees negotiating on local matters
with the Chinese authorities. He was
chairman when such matters as the
rendition of the Mixed Court, the Ex-
tra-Settlement Road question, Trade
Marks dispute, and others were settl-
ed. Perhaps the most important work
of his career came when he was ap-
pointed chairman of the joint commit-
tee, which implemented the important
Sino-Japanese agreement of 1932.

Cunningham holds honorary degrees
from Maryville college and the Univer-
sity of Michigan. The latter degree was
conferred on June 21 of this year. In
conferring the degree President Ruth-
ven read: "For forty years and more,
particularly during his service in
Shanghai in 1927 and 1932 when grave
issues confronted the nations of the
world, he bore weighty responsibilities
with clear judgment and unfaltering
courage. Repeatedly did the stricken
populace turn to him for safety and
the representatives of other govern-
ments looked to him for leadership and
never in vain. Wise in counsel, reso-
lute in will, and energetic in action he
won commendation from the depart-
ment of State. Now in his retirement he
deserves the grateful remembrance of
his fellowmen."

In ;""iting Mr. Cunningham to ac-
cept th degree, President Ruthven
wrote: "The university desires in this
■way to give public recognition of the
outstanding achievements of one of
its own alumni in a lifetime devoted
'■ to the skillfull and patriotic represen-
tation of this country in foreign lands."

Cunningham holds a law degree from
the University of Michigan which he

Eight Hundred Have

Registered This Year

Nearly eight hundred students have
registered this week for classes next
semester. This is a silghlt increase over
the registration of a year ago.

Registration of new students began
Tuesday and both old and new stu-
dents registred on Wednesday through
Friday. The freshman class is, as usual,
the largest of all four classes registered.

This year there seem to be more
students from foreign countries than
than in former years. These students
represent Germany, China, Puerto Ri-
co, Costa Rico. Japan, Syria, Persia,
Canada, and South America.

For the first time Maryville college
is cooperating this year with the In-
stitute of International Education in
taking one of the foreign exchange
students which the Institute brings to
America on fellowships. The Institute
is the principal organization in the
world for the handling of exchange

ious countries.

The student assigned to Maryville
is Fraulein Ingeborg Jung, of Dussel-
dorf-Eller, Germany. She is today in
New York attending a meeting of ex-
change students held by the Institute
of International Education and will
probably be in Maryville Monday.

Fraulein Jung graduated last Feb-
ruary from what would be called here
a junior college. It is the Stadtische
Schuback-Schmidt-Schule, in Dussel-
dorf. Her father is a Protestant minis-
ter, being Rector of the Evangelical
Protestant church in Dulleldorf. Frau-
lein Jung's study thus far, including
her study in English, has been such
as to qualify her to carry the general
work of junior classification. She has
attended lectures given in English and
one purpose in coming to America is
to acquire training in spoken English.
She hopes to become an interpreter.

Improve Campus,
Buildings, Drive
During Summer

Among the improvements made to
the campus during the summer is the
redecorating of Voorhees chapel. In
the basement the Fine Arts studio was
moved to larger quarters which have a
seating capacity of one hundred and
fifty. This has made necessary the mov-
ing of the room of the chapel caretak-
ers and has resulted in two new studios
and a closet for the chapel robes. The
auditorium has been entirely repaint-
ed, and the practice rooms will be
painted sometime soon. A new stair-
case has been built from Mrs. West's
classroom to the attic of the chapel
where a place was made for the storage
of play costumes and properties.

Improvements in other buildings on
the campus include painting and pap-
ering of rooms in Baldwin hall, and in
Carnegie and Pearsons halls. The third
floor of Anderson hall has been chang-
ed, enlarging the history classroom and
making one new classroom. New floor
coverings and a redecorated kitchen
are the improvements that have been
made at Lamar hospital.

New steel chairs have been installed
in the library and three new tables
have been ordered. The philosophy
classroom has received new chairs.

The completion of the circle drive
near the football field is an outstand-
ing exterior improvement. It is planned
to make a parking place where the
road was behind science hall

Sophomores Choose

Talks, Songs At
Pow-wow Tonight

The annual pow-wow of the YMCA
is scheduled for 7.30 this evening, in
the amphitheater in the college woods.
The officers and cabinet of the Y in-
vite all men to hit the trail to the
woods and join in this evening of fun,
entertainment and refreshment.

In addition to a period of group
singing, there are to be several brief
speeches by Maryville athletic leaders,
including Coach L. S. Honaker and the
varsity captains. Following a develop-
ing tradition, each of the two men's
societies, Athenian and Alpha Sigma,
will put on a stunt for the entertain-
ment of the men.

The main attraction of the evening,
however, is likely to be the truckload
of watermelons which is on hand. Men
are advised to wear old clothes to the
pow-wow.

Wed Last Summer

Dr. Ralph Stokes Collins, professor
of French and German, who was on
leave of absence last year, was mar-
ried in August to Miss Maria Johanna
Zubiller of West Point, New York.

Mrs. Collins received her Bachelor
of Arts degree from Alfred university,
and studied German at Middlebury,
Vermont. Dr. Collins received his B.A.
degree from the University of North
Carolina; his M.A. from the same uni-
versity, and just last year his Phj.D.
from Johns Hopkins university. He has
also studied at the University of
Munich, Germany; and is a member of
Phi Beta Kappa.

Dr. and Mrs. Collins are now living
in an apartment on High street, just
across from the corduroy.

Several Maryville graduates and old
students have married during the sum-
mer. George Brown, '38, and Lucille
Roberts, '37, were married on Septem-
ber 2, at Miss Roberts' home in Soddy,
Tennessee. They are now living in
Buffalo, New York, where Mr. Brown
is teaching.

Bob Cusworth, last year a sopho-
more, was married to Mary Evelyn
Cooley of Knoxville the first part of
the summer. They are now living in
Knoxville where he is an insurance
salesman.

Joy Pinnae, a senior, and Donald
Rugh, '39, announced their engage-
ment the firt part of the summer. Fred
Jewitt, '37, was married six weeks ago
to a Long Island girl. He and his wife
visited Maryville Thursday, en route to
a Texas seminary. Lucille Gillespie, a
senior, was married to Robert Step, an
electrician at the Aluminum plant, in
July.

through Italy, France, and England. In
Italy they will travel through the best
known cities and become acquainted
with the interesting scenes and places
thereabouts. Leaving France, the Bain-
onian Airlines will take their guests to
England where they will have their
afternoon tea.

Traveling at an immense rate of
speed, on Thursday afternoon at 3:30,
guests of the Bainonian Airlines will
leave England (lobby of Pearsons) and
arrive in Africa in time to join a
group of treasure hunters about to
pentrate the depths of the African
jungle in search of hidden treasure
which one group may expect to find in
reaching the end of the hidden trail
before the others. Then, there in the
jungle, when all the hunters arrive, the
choicest of African foods will be served
by the Bainonian Airline guides.

Bainonian Airlines' formal opening
will be held Saturday evening at 8:00
at which time their guests will find
themselves traveling swiftly across the
continent to the Orient. After some
time spent in the Orient, the guides will
continue toward America, the end of
the around the world flight. The guests
of the Bainonian Airlines will find that
this last part of the flight will have a
program that will be of interest to
people of varied likes and hobbies;
there will be something to delight ev-
eryone.

Europe by thumb, train, and bicycle
was the way three Maryville students
spent vacation days. Tommy Woolf,
Horace Brown and Leland Waggoner
(a last year's graduate) went over the
Continent with a fine tooth comb, peer-
ing into out of the way places, inter-
viewing government officials, and in
general finding out what makes the old
world tick.

Among the dozens of interesting ex-
periences they have to tell was a night
spent in jail in Helden, Germany, near
the Dutch boundary. Brown and Wag-
goner arriving at the border later than
they expected one afternoon were out
of German money. Only ten marks can
be taken out of the country by each

person, and they were faced with one
of two alternatives; the cashing of a
traveler's check and the loss of about
forty marks or a park bench. They
chose the park bench and got a jail
bed. It seems that they have vagrancy
laws in Germany, too.

After spending the night on the St.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO

SEPTEMBER 17, 1938

To Every Freshman

This year Maryville college opened for its one hundred
and twentieth year. In strange contrast with this year was
the fall of 1819 when Isaac Anderson opened for the first
time his school on what is now the main street of Mary-
ville. Abe Lincoln was only ten years old and James Mon-
roe was president. A short four years before the Duke of
Wellington had defeated Napoleon at Waterloo and nine
more years were yet to pass before Andy Jackson was to
ride out of the rough South to become president of the
United States.

Since that time our country has grown from a small
unimportant nation into a first rate power— and Maryville
college has grown from the handful of students forming
Dr. Anderson's first class of five into an institution with
more than eight hundred students, requiring over a million
dollars worth of equipment and buildings.

Each of these years has brought a new class to "the
Hill"; and on each class in its turn has rested much of tbje
responsibility for what the college has become, or will b»-
come. Doubtless it still seems to these new students, as
they come to take their place, that they have been thrust
into an organization that has been running smoothly
without them, an organization which does not need them,
and for which in turn they feel no need, or toward which
they feel no loyalty.

Yet, Maryville does need them. There are places on
our athletic teams, on our forensic squads, responsible
positions in our clubs and organizations that must be filled
by these new students. To each new class perhaps the most
surprising thing is the discovery that after a few weeks of
working in and for the college they suddenly feel a loyalty
to it and a desire to work for its success. Yet this discovery
cannot be passed on; each class in its turn must discover
the fact that Maryville needs every freshman— and that
every freshman needs Maryville.

One View of Things

By OTTO PFLANZE

DO YOU REALIZE?

Today, more than twice as many men, women, and

children as there are students in the college will be
slaughtered by flying shrapnel, machine guns, and bayo-
nets. Hundreds of homes will be shattered, their occupants
cast out into a hell of dirt and filth and hunger. Cities will
be destroyed and lie in smoking ruins. Millions of dollars
of property will go up in smoke and ftemes.

In Europe the worst international crisis since the war
grows deeper and more involved. Diplomats go scurrying
away on secret missions that mean life or death to other
thousands. The conflagration threatens to spread through-
out the world.

All of this and more is going on while we sit placidly
at home, engrossed in activities of more immediate concern
and for the most part stupidly unaware of impending events
that may mean the difference between life and death.
* * *

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Twenty -five years ago there were millions of others

in a similar lethargy. Six years later 8,500,000 of them were
dead; 21,000,000 more were scarred or crippled for the
left of their days. They too had sat placidly at home like
you and I, stupidly unaware of the startling advance of
r. ilitary science and the machinations of power politics.

GREETINGS FROM THB PRESIDENT

The Editor of !$£ |ftghlan<| Echofhas asjfed me
to write a word of greeting to all who have come to
Maryville college for the year of 1938-1991.

Those charged wtth the "rwponslbilRy of ad-
ministration'and teaching haVte .ijiadei. &*&. J?Uux~
within thetr knowledge and power tb insure a. suc-
cessful year. We extend our Hearty good wishes.

We trust that residence at the College during
the coming months may be an enriching experience.
Living in a dormitory is not like living at home, but
it can mean a pleasure and benefit found nowhere
else.

We trust that this may be for each a year of
intellectual inspiration, of enlarging friendships, and
of deepening spiritual life. It is to give encourage-
ment and assistance in these things that officers and
teachers have been appointed to be here. Coopera-
tive respect, courtesy, and study by students and
faculty will make the college session of 1938-1939 a
rewarding one.

Ralph Waldo Lloyd, President.

This column is tempted not to add to the official and
unofficial "welcoming" to which new students have been
exposed; we're afraid they'll begin to think there is a

catch to it.

» • *

Besides, when mid-semester report cards come out, a
lot of freshmen are going to feel that they've been choked

by the hand that shook them.

• • »

In case too many freshmen are getting the idea from
these opening days that college life is nothing but a mad
whirl of lawn parties and standing in lines, we have only
to say that the first round of exams may cause a lot of

disillusionment around here.

• * •

It's been suggested that the local U.S. Mail Truck
Limited (to 3 1-2 miles per hour) should be placed op-
posite the bell on the other side of Thaw steps. Thlat would
be belittling the truck's vintage, however, 'cause the bell

was in use a mere eighty years.

• * *

The Thursday evening Student Mixup may have a
profound effect on the moral characters of the freshmen:
some of the men who took a chance and won may be
gamblers for life, while others are certain never to trust a
raffle again.

• * »

To those freshmen* who are disheartened by the rain
these iirst few days, we should like to say truthfully that
rain is really a very rare occurrence here. I repeat: we

should like to say that!

This column wishes for new and old students alike a
very successful year at Maryville.

Their suffering stands before us as a powerful lesson.
If we would avoid a similar fate, we must learn by their
mistakes. We must become acquainted with world affairs
and international politics. We must learn to seek for the
hidden meanings and the import of events. New propagan-
dists are clever enough to blind people who have an actual
understanding of the principles of international affairs.

Next Friday evening Edwin S. Cunningham, former
Consul General at Shanghai, will speak on the campus
concerning the war in China. His address will be only the
first of a series of lectures and open forum discussions
sponsored by a student organization and lasting throughout
the year. Here is your opportunity to cast upon the altar
of peace your contribution for the saving of millions of
lives, including possibly that of your own. That contribu-
tion consists not in any monetary aid, but only in the edu-
I cation of your own mind.

SCOTS Vb. 'CATS—

Well, here we are, back to the old grind again. I hope
all you loyal sport page fans Will forgive the slight ap-
pearance of the sport page. It looks as though our capable
business manager, Mr. Byrne, has everything under con-
trol, and as usual leaves us no room. The first thing on our
list is the Scottie-Kentucky brawl a week from today. The
Kentucky Wildcats are going to meet some tougher oppo^
sitioft than they expect. With thirteen lettermen back this
year, Coach Honaker is going to show us something. The
Wildcats, always tough for Maryville, may be caught
shorthanded this year. Up in Lexington they tell us that
there is going to be a new system, and the Kentucky line
is nothing to brag about. With those two things to the
University's disadvantage, the Highlanders may pull a
fast one and put something over on Kentuck'. Let's hope
so. J. D. Hughes said he would give his right arm to score
on the Cats, well J. D., we don't want you to lose an arm,
but we sure do hope you score.

COACH GILLINGHAM—

A newcomer in the coaching staff this year, Ed Gil-

year, played number one man on the tennis team for two
years, and is well qualified to teach our tennis team this
year. Rather early for tennis, but we welcome you any-
how, Coach Gillingham. Lots of luck, and we hope you
have a successful year.

Lowe Injured In
Football Practice

Lawrence Lowe, a senior, who was
one of Coach Honaker's best end pros-

passing practice last Thursday night.
He collided with one of his team mates,
and the bone was broken just above the
knee. His loss will be a serious one to
the Scots this year.

M <ii Hi ngham To
Be New Swimming
And Tennis Coach

Ed Gillingham joins the coaching
staff of Maryville this year to take the
place vacated by the ex-coach George
Fischbach, who is on a leave of ab-
sence. Coach Gillingham will have
charge of tennis and swimming classes
besides his extra duties as coach of
both of these activities.

Coach Gillingham was a member of
the class of '38 and comes from a long
line of Maryville graduates who have
been excellent tennis players. Gilling-
ham held the school championship for
the last several years and was one of
the main stays on the college team.

Any predictions as to what kind of a
tennis team will be in store next spring
is rather uncertain, but things should
line up during the fall tournament
which is scheduled to get under way
some time soon.

Thirteen Lettermen Report For Practice;
Season Opens September 24, At U. of Ky.

Coach Honaker Preps Squad Of 44 Men For Smoky
Mountain Conference Championship

—

Football practice has really gotten
under way this week, with Coach
Lombe S. Honaker having a squad of
44 huskies out for varsity berths. With
thirteen lettermen back this year,
Coach Honaker expects to have another
successful season for the Highlanders.

Among the lettermen back, there is,
first of all, Captain Al Burris. Burris,
a stellar quarter-back, was injured
last year during baseball season, but
will be in there calling signals and
leading the Scots to the Smoky Moun-
tain Conference Championship. J. D.
Hughes, sophomore halfback, is back
again this year, and it looks like ano-
ther big year for "High School" Hugh-
es. Those of you who were here last
year will remember how Hughes burn-
ed up the conference last season with
his long runs and bullet-like passes,
and J. D. looks like a sure-shot for
all -conference honors this year. The
right side of the line should be well
taken care of by lettermen Etheredge,
Kramer, and Burns. "Cousin Joe"
Etheredge, junior end, one of the star
offensive men of the conference last
season, should be one of the confer-
ence's leading ends. That Hughes to
Etheredge passing combination should
really click this year. Arnold Kramer,
who tips the scales at 190, is going to
be some tough opposition for the Wild-
cats of Kentucky when they meet
Maryville on the coming Saturday.
Little Burns, who makes up in might
what he hasn't in stature, will be able
to take good care of that guard posi-
tion this year.

Gene McCurry and S. K. Taylor, both
lettermen, are fighting it out for tackle
position on the other side of the line.
With both of these 200 pounders back
this year, there should be some real
weight on that side of the line. Obie
Jenkins, guard letterman, looks good
in practice, and it appears as though
Obie will have another succe^ful

season. Tommy Taylor, 165 pound end,
another letterman, has the right end
position well taken care of at present.

Bill Baird, just another of the Baird
boys, will be with us again this year.
Bill, who wasn't in school last football
season, lettered the year before, play-
ing in the backfield. flight now BUI is
out for end, and looks like a good sub
to have around. Scotty Honaker, dimi-
nutive quarterback who also lettered
last year, will be right in there calling
the signals again this year. Scotty is
one of the best passers on the team,
and is expected to do lots of the High-
lander's punting this year. The two
Georges, Morton and Garner, both sub
backfield lettermen, are expected to
see lots of service this season.

John Quincy Wilburn, more com-
monly "Nig" Wilburn, will probably re-
ceive the center assignment this year.
Boydson Baird, sophomore, will be a
good sub backfield man this year, play-
ing either of the halfs, Smith and Diz-
ney, two big bruisers, are sub line-
men this year, and undoubtedly will
see lots of service this season.

Eighteen freshman reported for
practice, and there are some likely
looking candidates among them. Hunt,
a backfield man, DeWeese, another
backfield man, and Tipton, lineman,
are outstanding right at the present.

The Jews have no civil rights at all
in Germany today, the boys found. Any
person with a Jewish enemy can slug
or kill him with impunity. The Ger-
* mans justify their treatment of the
Jew by drawing a parallel with Amer-
ican treatment of the negro.

One of the high spots of the journey
was an interview obtained with the
foreign minister of Czecholavakia. The
official was very friendly, giving an
hour of his precious time and much
valuable information concerning the
present Sudeten crisis. A scheduled
interview with President Benes was
dropped to their disappointment when
Lord Runciman made his important
visit

The trip included two stops in Paris.
Condtions there were shocking, the
boys say. For further information see
Mr. VToolf or Mr. Brown.
I Of all the nationalities they became
acquainted with the boys have differ-
ent versions as to the one they liked
the best. Woolf liked Italian hospitality,
while Brown preferred that of Czecho-
slavakia. The Germans were friendly,
they say, but rather scornful of Am-
ericans. The French were the best to
get rides from, especially when aware
of their American nationality.

CALLS CHINA UNITED

Forum Executive Council

Discusses Affiliation

With Nat'l. Group

Taking as his subject "The Invasion
of China," Edwin S. Cunningham, re-
tired consul-general, addressed an
audience of approximately two hun-
dred at the Peace Forum meeting last
evening in Thaw hall auditorium. Mr.
Cunningham traced the history of
Chinese invasions by foreign powers
for the last hundred years and ended
his lecture with the present Japanese
conquest.

The acquisitions of Japan in China
have been prompted for reasons of
protection, he declared. "The taking of
Korea brought on the seizure of Man-
churia, which in turn made necessary,
in Japaneses opinion, the conquest of
other provinces to the south."

The present war has united China, he
said, for the first time in modern his-
tory. "Before the invasions, China
slept— corrupted and disunited. Today
the war lords and their subjects are
cooperating in a frantic effort to de-
feat the Japanese."

Mr. Cunningham recounted some of
the indignities which he said had been
heaped upon the Chinese in the way
of assaults upon non-combantants. The
Japanese have carried out a general
policy of frightfulness, he contended.
The incidents reported in the news-
papers are not isolated but have been
prevalent everywhere.

In a short business session before the
lecture it was announced that the Fo-
nim executive council was considering
affiliation with the Carnegie Founda-
tion for International Peace. If a
faculty committee approves" the af-
filiation, the name of the organization
will be changed to "The International
Relations Club" and the group will be
one of 840 such clubs throughout the
world. It will receive books and maga-
zines free from the foundation to be-
come a part of its library.

As Class Play

The widespread interest in European
-affairs and in political philosophy in
general caused by the present crisis
on the continent is reflected in the
new four-hundred-dollar order of
books being catalogued by the library
staff this week. Of timely significance
is E. E. Kellet's "The Story of Dictator-
ship," which is a comprehensive history
of the totalitarian state from its first
appearance. Other titles in this group
include "Government in Fascist Italy"
by H. Arthur Stenier, "The Govern-
ment of the Soviet Union," by Samuel
N. Harper, "And So To War" by Hubert
Herring, and the monumental "History
of the Modern and Contemporary Far
East" by Paul H. Clyde. Two recent
best-sellers in a related category are
Elliot Paul's "Life and Death of a
Spanish Town," and the much-discus-
sed biography of President Roosevelt
by Emil Ludwig.

Of first importance among the novels
is Thomas Mann's epochal trilogy re-
constructing one of the great figures of
the Old Testament. The American ed-
ition, in the splendid translation of H.
T. Lowe-Porter," is entitled "Joseph and

His Brothers," "Yeung Joseph," and tures representing art of the thirteenth
Joseph in Egypt." From the best-seller j century, "before Columous discover

At the Wednesday morning meeting
of the senior class held under the
direction of President Eugene Orr,
student council representatives were
elected and plans were announced
concerning the class play and college
rings.

Eight seniors were elected to repre-
sent their class in the student council.
The four women chosen are Zula
Vance, Marguerite Justis, Hazel Ed-
dins, and Curtmarie Brown. Three men
were elected, and by reason of his
holding the office of president pro-
tein of the council, Robert Martin was
automatically elected for the coming
year. The men are Fred Rhody, Al-
bert Neil Rosser, and Horace Brown.

William McGill, production manager
of "Hamlet," the play which was deci-
ded upon last year by the class, pre-
sented a plan whereby a group of in-
terested seniors will meet every other
Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock, to
discuss problems in connection with
the production. The first of these
meetings will be Tuesday evening, in
Dr. Edwin R. Hunter's classroom,
when he is to talk to the group about
problems to be met in producing the
play.

At a later meeting of this group. Dr.
Hill Shine will talk on the Shakespear-
ean Theater. The play will be pro-
duced as accurately as possible in the
Shakespearean manner, with appro-

Professor George D. Howell today
released the dates of the three recitals
scheduled on this year's Maryville col-
lege Artist series. The opening number
will be the appearance of the Salzburg
Trapp choir on November 1. Jussi
Bjoerling, Scandinavian tenor of the
Metropolitan Opera association will
sing on the night of January 9, and
the series will close on March 21 with
the recital of the famous concert pian-
ist, Walter Gieseking.

The Trapp choir, and a cappela group
of eight voices, comes with the warm
personal indorsement of Lotte Leh-
mann who commends their interpre-
tation of 15th and 16th century works,
the lieder of the great masters, and
modern compositions. Their appearance
here will be one of the first after their
American debut this October.

Jussi Bjoerling has already conquer-
ed the critics and music lovers of Eu-
rope and the United States. Enthusias-
tic press notices from even such con-
servative papers as the New York
Times indicate that his position in the
musical world is secure. In addition to
his duties as leading tenor of the Met-
ropolitan, Mr. Bjoerling is also on the
regular rostrum of the Stockholm,
Copenhagen, Vienna, Milan, and Chi-
cago Opera Houses.

To the musically minded and to stu-
dents of the piano the name of Walter
Gieseking has long been a familiar one.
Of distinctive technique and interna-
tional reputation, he is a fitting climax
for the year's series. Mr. Gieseking
will appear this winter with the New
York Philharmonic-Symphony Society
orchestra in addition to his national
tour. His book, "The Shortest Way to
Pianistic Perfection," written in col-
laboration with Karl Leimer, has re-
cently appeared.

Lois Barnwell, senior and newly
elected band sponsor, was presented
with her uniform at the first pep
meeting of the year, held in the Alum-
ni gymnasium last Thursday evening.
The identy of the new sponsor, kept
secret until the pep meeting, was an-
nounced by Mr. Ralph R. Colbert,
director of the band and Reba Blazer,
retiring sponsor, presented her uni-
form to the new sponsor.

Miss Barwell, called from the stands,
was helped into her new uniform by
drum-major Dick Woodring after the
short presentation speech by Miss
Blazer, who expressed her appreciation
of the honor that had been hers for
the last two years. The new sponsor
will begin her new duties at the next
practice session of the band.

Other officers of the band elected
last Tuesday were Ivan Elder, student
director; Vernon Lloyd, manager; Nina
Husk, secretary-treasurer; Richard
Woodring, drum major.

The pep meeting, attended by a
large crowd of enthusiastic students,
was conducted by cheerleaders Frank
Brink and Russell Stevenson. The pro-
gram included speeches by Capt. Al
Burris and Arnold Kramer and cheers
for the two injured members of the
squad, Larence Lowe and Gene Mc-
Curry. Several numbers were played
and the meeting was closed by the
singing of the alma mater.

Tryouts For Men and Wo-
men Tuesday Afternoon

This year for the first time in the
history of the college, Maryville may
have women cheer leaders. Frank
Brink, member of last year's squad,
has discussed this change with Presi-
dent Ralph W. Lloyd and on securing
the approval of the pep committee the
change will probably be put into ef-
fect. Members of the pep committee,
who will pass on this change are Miss
Jessie Heron, Dr. David Briggs, Lynn
Tyndall, Frank Brink, and Harold Dy-
sart.

During the week the Echo conducted
a poll of student opinion on the sub-
ject. It was found to be very favorable
towards the suggested change. On an-
other page the results of this poll will
be found.

Brink announced tryouts for both
men and women on Tuesday afternoon.
The candidates will then perform be-
fore all the students at next week's
pep meeting, and four will be selected
to lead the school's cheering during
the coming season.

As far as the figures of registration
fo rthis year have been compiled, there
are seven hundred and seventy-six re-
gular students enrolled in college for
this semester and there are sixteen
special students. These figures are ap-
proximately the same as those of last
year.

The freshman class this year, how-
ever, has a distinction which none of
the other classes can claim. There are
three sets of twins in the class of '42.
Stewart and Frances Perrin are brother
and sister to Frances Perrin who was
graduated last year from Maryville.
Margaret and Mary Proffitt are the
sisters of Jim Proffitt, who also grad-
uated last year. The other set of twins
is Louise and Dorothy Osborne.

There are also about thirty sisters
or brothers of students who are now
attending Maryville or who have been
graduated very recently. Lola Ball is
the sister of Verna Ball; Donald Camp-
bell is the brother of Aline Campbell.
Jane Carter, sophomore, brought hjer
sister, Margaret. Vernon Clark who
was at Maryville two years ago has
returned with his sister, Ina Mae

Visit To Big City
As Rush Program

Tour Of Great White Way

And Other Sights

Are Planned

Theta Epsilon invites all new girls
to go American and be their guests for
a week in that cosmopolitan city of
New York. Many of the high spots will
be touched in Theta 's tour of the city.

Corrigan's reception by Brooklyn
will seem mild beside the one the new
girls will receive at the swimming pool
of the St. George hotel Tuesday after-
noon. The management has promised
the women a most refreshing afternoon
with novel recreation, entertainment,
and refreshments.

From Brooklyn Thteta invites the new
women to an evening in the wilds of
Greenwich village for a taste of the
Bohemian life of New York's most arty
section. Here all guests will be invited
to partake in part of the life of a Bo-
hemian, and be entertained by such
artists as Gene Craine, master of the
drums, Kitty Bennett, Theta's baller-
ina, and weird tales of the lives of
artists.

To complete this week of entertain-
ment offered in New York, Theta takes
all guests to the Great White Way
where her formal opening will be held.
All women will first be entertained at
the chapel theatre where they will
witness, as the critics say, one of Am-
erica's best loved plays presented by
a four star cast and promising a four
star performance. After the theatre the
party will progress to the Merryville
where refreshments will be served
along with light entertainment.

The formal opening of Bainonian
society and the end of the air cruise
which during the past week has taken
Bainonian airline guests around the
world will take place this evening at
the Alumni gym at 8:00. Mistress of
Ceremonies, Sara Lee Heliums, will
introduce skits, tap dancing acts, im-
personations, singing, and readings.

During the first part of the week
Bainonian invited the new women to
a travel tea, during which time they
voyaged through Italy, France, and
England. On Thursday the airlines
left England for an African treasure
hunt. This evening they pick up the

Of Campus Life

Otto Pflanze, of Maryville, was elec-
ted editor of the 1939 Chilhowean at a
meeting of the junior class Wednes-
day morning in the philosophy class
room. At the same time, Clifford Proc-
tor, of Readjng, Vermont, was elected
business manager.

Active for the past two years as a
writer for the Highland Echo, Pflanze
is at present chairman of the college
peace iorum, member of Writer's
Workshop, and varsity debater.

Proctor, who came to Maryville last
year as a transfer student, is also a
varsity debater, a member of the
Writer's Workshop, and is secretary of
Athenian society.

Although the entire staff has not yet
been selected, Pflanze has announced
the following appointments: activities
editor, George Hunt; feature editor,
Russell Stevenson; art editor, Arlene
Phelps; fine arts editor, Ruth Aber-
crombie. The other positions are to be
filled soon.

Following the plan introduced by
last year's Chilhowean staff, contracts
for copies of the annual will be distri-
buted in chapel, and orders will be tak-
en in that manner.

One new feature of the 1939 year
book will be a quarter page of sanp-
shots on each page bearing advertising.

Elect Council Members

The juniors also elected three men
and three women to the student council
at the class meeting. The new members
r". the council are Frank Morrow, Jim
Ethteredge, Dan McGill, Lynn TyndaU,
Ruth Crawford, and Ruth Woods.

The new council members will as-
isume their duties immediately and a
new president of the student council
to succeed president pro tern Robert
Martin will be elected next week.

In a white clapboard house just off

der, pleasant-faced, white-moustached
gentleman is spending his days, closer
to the nature he loves and with more
freedom for the books he enjoys. For
when school opened a few weeks ago.
returning students did not see Dr.
George Alan Knapp walk up the cinder
path past the gymnasium to turn down
the path to Anderson hall. Students
walking through Anderson annex did
not see him reading his morning paper
in the familiar mathematics classroom,
for Dr. Knapp this year has retired
from teaching. He ends this year fifty-
four years of being behind the desk,
and fifty of these years have been be-
fore college classes.

The request that he be allowed to
retire was granted with regret by the
directors of the college and took ef-

see is a very nice land. I like Maryville ' feet at commencement, but Dr. Knapp
right from the beginning." 'did not want any announcement of it

published until the students had all
left the campus. He thus ended twenty-
four years of professorship at Mary-
ville, and at his retirement he was hpad
of the department of mathematics and
physics as well as a professor in that
department. Until 1936 he had been in
charge of the college book store.

Graduated from Hamilton college,
New York, in 1884, he has had a dist-
inguished career as an educator. He
received his master's degree from his
alma mater in 1886, and was awarded
an honorary Litt.D. degree by Mary-
ville in 1927. His first four years as a
teacher were spent as superintendent
of a high school in New York state,
and his half century in college instruc-
tion was spent at three institutions:
Park College, Missouri, two years; Oli-
vet college, Michigan, twenty-four
years; and Maryville, twenty-four
years. Some years ago one authority
classed Dr. Knapp among the half
dozen greatest mathematicions of our
country, but he has chosen to devote

his time to students rather than pub-
lish his vast store of knowledge in
book form.

The 1937 Chilhowean was dedicated
to Dr. Knapp in appreciation of his
years of service as "professor, counse-
lor, friend." This was a concrete way
in which the students showed the af-
fection they have felt through the years
for the kindly scholar, an affection
which finds expression in the way all
students who hnve known him call
him "Daddy" K >p. TV~ strong, sin-
cere, devout wp" in which he has led
the chapel services has been an in-
spiration to the generations that have
heard him. A few years ago he visited
California and was there given a re-
ception by the Maryville alumni of that
state. A graduate of Olivet college
visited Maryville recently and made
the statement that 'Tf ever I loved any
man, it is Dr. Knapp; he is a wonder-
ful person." And that represents the

TALK Of THE WEEK . By Arlene Phelps

Truly Grateful

Each fall old students returning to Maryville are
pleased to find numbers of improvements to the campus
and buildings that have been made possible through the
generosity of friends of the college. Truly grateful for
trjese improvements, the students seldom have a chance
to meet face to face the persons who make them possible,
yet through a number of years one name, that of Mrs.
John Walker, has become associated with improvements
around the college so often that almost every student feels
that he must know her personally.

This year an especially appreciated gift of hers is the
group of pictures that now adorn heretofore bare walls
in the lobbies and halls of the dormitories. These gifts are
truly appreciated and even if we do not know their donor
except as a name we still feel the same gratitude we
should feel if she were a personal friend.

(News Item: "Swing will invade the gridiron this
year, with football tactics set to swing time tempo, accord-
ing to coaches of Maryville, and other leading teams of the
nation. To quote one mentor: "Plays don't mean a thing,
unless they have that swing!")

* » * •

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We greet you
from Wilson Field, where those Kings of Swing, the Mary-
ville Scottie Swingsters, are about to open their home
football schedule.

"The stands are jammed with music lovers, folks. The
out-moded flood lights have been replaced by powerful
spotlights, which will pick out and follow the spectacular
plays as they are executed by the smooth Highlander
swing eleven, to the accompaniement of Duke Colbert's
swing band.

"And here come the cheer leaders, doing the Lambeth
Walk. Let's listen: 'All right, gang! Let's give the old a-
Tisket-a-Tasket!— Swing it!'

* • * •

"Now the teams are truckin' onto the field. They break
up into groups, for a Big Apple warm-up before the
game, their cute red dance programs dangling from their
wrists. Coaches Honaker and Thrower, attired in yellow
checked coats and green trousers, swing into a final de-
monstration of an intricate deceptive swing-play, while
the boys truck around them, snapping their fingers in
time to the music.

* ♦ • *

"The referee and the linesmen are shagging out now,
to give the field a last-minute waxing, and they are togged
in the very latest cookie-pusher fashion.

"Now the teams line up, the referee puts his saxa-
phone to his lips, and the game has be-gun!

"Killer-Diller Etheredge lets a pass slip through his
hands, and the stands chant in unison: 'He dropped it! He
dropped it! On the way he dropped it, la de doody doo!'

* * * •

"Now the Jitter-Bugs are dancing with their backs
to their goal posts. There's an attempt at the center of the
line! Was it good? No, no, no, no!

"Oh boy! A Scot Bob-cat was in the clear, but was
brought down from the rear. Here's Coach pulling him from
the game, and let's listen to the stands singing 'Flat Foot
Floogie.' He'll be sent back to dancing school for further

seasoning.

* * » *

"And the game is over, ladies and gentlemen! The
teams bow and dance off the field. Your nearest music
dealer can furnish you with a phonograph recording of
this evening's game, as only the Scotties could swing it;
see him also for the musical score of the game. Glub glub,
you-all Jitter-Bugs'."

Thoughts of a Senior

Who were those freshmen who were late for second
period class, on account of waiting in their room for the
nine-thirty daily room inspection? (Note: See Dormitory

Rules.)

* * • ♦

Isn't it great to get back to a place like this, where
there are no weather uncertainties? No guesswork is need-
ed: just count on rain.

* » * *

It's rumored that an unusual number of freshmen are
suffering from home-sickness this year in Carnegie, be-
cause of the new rule cutting the daily friendly visits of
the pressing-shoe-repairing-and-laundry boys to only

twice a week.

* * •

But Mr. Mac has promised to compensate by personal-
ly paying more frequent calls in the dormitory.

* * * *

While we are being statistical, we are reminded that
there remains only a scant eighty-one days till Christmas
vacation.

» * * *

Numbers intrigue us; so let's keep on this subject.
Wasn't it the Greek philosopher, Short-Order Spagetto,
who made that famous statement: "Everything is numbers,"
and who was given five years for having a pocketful of
them?

» * * *

To most of us proletarians, the new bell in Anderson
tower is nothing more or less than the old one— a lethal
instrument which wakes us much too early in the morn-
ing. But to Tommy Schafer, that dean of all bell connois-
suers, the new one simply does not have that certain tone
quality which the broken one had.

After a very inactive three months, we were glad to
come back to Maryville. It doesn't seem as if it has chang-
ed much, and already the novelty of the improvements has
worn off. It seems as if we never went away from here,
although certain familiar faces and couples from not-so-
long-ago are lacking

* * » *

The first thing that struck us as unusual as the bus
rolled around the sharp corners of Maryville to get to
the bus station by way of a lot of side streets (probably
to avoid all the traffic on the main street) was the sight of
Frank Brink without crutches. The wooden sticks had be-
come almost an inseparable part of him, but nevertheless
it was good to see him without them.

* * * *

During the summer we were caught, along with many
others, in a wave of quiz programs that we tsruck every
time we turned the dial. Each time we felt like running
upstairs and making out a list of five questions to win the
twenty-five dollars, and we would open the encyclopedia !
to begin a search for these questions which would be worth
the prize money. We never did send in a list, but we
brought one along just in case our old urge returned.

* * * *

Two weeks ago, TIME magazine recorded the accident
that all America had feared when a WPA worker fractured
his jaw when the shovel upon which he was leaning slipped
out from under his grasp. It is sad; but just think, the
worker can now rest without having the impediment of a
shovel.

* * * *

How certain words develop is a subject that has in-
terested us a long time. The word "vaudeville" is an inter-
esting one having come from the French of the 15th cen-
tury. At that time there were two men composing drink-
ing songs who lived in the little valleys ( French-" vaux")
near Vire in Normandy. At the same time, gay folk songs
1 were called "voix-de-ville" (voices of the city.") A com-
bination of these phrases produced the modern word
'"vaudeville."

* * + *

Ripley told the story on one of his summer broadcasts
of the i volution of the modern song, "For He's a Jolly Good
Fellow. It was discovered on a stone dug up in Egypt
(n t with that title, of course), became a song of the Cru-
and was brought to the attention of Marie Antoin-
ette many decades later. She sung it as a lullaby for the
young prince, and it was adopted by the people as the
national anthem of France until the "Marseillaise" replac-
i ed it. The Arabs sang a tune like it, and Beethoven used
the air in a Battle Symphony in 1813. So today, when we
gather around a banquet table and toast ■ fellow with that
tune, we have at least one thing in common with Marie
Antoinette.

* * * *

Ni'wzoddity: A Democrat mayor in the state of Wash-
i last week proved his contention that "voters have
no idea whom they support." Fifty one voter! of a small
suburb of Tacoma elected on the Republican ticket one
Bo: Ion Curtis to the post of precinct committeeman. Thir
plea: ed the mayor no end, for he had filed the papers for
Mr. Boston and sponsored him: Mr. Boston is a large brown
mule. What puzzles us is a mule on the Republican ticket.

"Daddy" Knapp loves nature. In the
years past he has many times explored
the Great Smokies, and there is prob-
ably no one in this whole area who
knows so much about birds. He often
rises early and walks through the col-
lege woods, and as he has met stu-

SCOTTY SIDE, SLANTS

By DOUG .STEAKLEY
Sports Editor

,'"' •

Y.M.C.A. SPORTS—

The student body owes the athletic department of the
YMCA a big vote of thanks. The YMCA has, in the past
years, supported tennis tournaments, swimming meets,
track meets, and various other kinds of athletics for the
student free of charge. Last year the Y awarded twelve
keys for outstanding interclass athletes. They gave a tro-
phy for the winner of the tennis tournament. This year
the yare planning a similar program.

There are quite a number of boys in the college who
haven't time or the ability to make the varsity squads, and
who really enjoy playing some of the sports. The YMCA
offers a full program for these students, and it's up to the
men of the college to get the most out of it. Thanks again,
athletic department.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO SEPTEMBER 24, 1938

BULLDOGS—

There has been some talk of having a "B" team sche-
dule for football scrubs. Last year they planned for the
scrub team to have a couple of games, but as usual some-
where along the line the whole thing fell through. This
column would like to see the Bulldogs get a break this year
and have a few practice games with some of the high
schools in this vicinity. You know that the scrubs go a
long way toward making the varsity what it is, and they
get little enough recognition. Not right now perhaps, but
later on in the season, how about some "B" team games?
A little support on the idea might bring about a schedule
for the Bulldogs, so let's all talk it up.

Today at Lexington

Tennis Tournament
Starts This Week

SUPPORT FROM THE FANS—

You know that a lot depends on football fans. Their
support on the field, and off the field, is really appreciated
by the players. It's something easy to do, to support a
team that is winning, but its another thing to back up a
team that loses a few games. All this leads to the question
of pep-meetings and cheering at the games. A good yell at
a pep-meeting, and lots of noise and cheering at the game
goes a long way with a bunch of tired players. Linemen
play harder, backs run faster when they know that the
entire student body is behind them. So lets all be on hand
with lots of pep next Friday night, when the Highlanders
open their home season with the Tusculum Pioneers.

Another thing that fans are apt to do is criticize the
officials. Nothing marks a poor sport more than booing a
decision that he thinks wrong. After all the official really
knows the game, and is in a far better position to call the
plays than the rabid fan. Let's be good sports and back
up the officials. It helps in the long run.

44 Men Signed Up For
Singles. Morrow And
Van Cise Are Favored

WATCH HINKEBEIN!—

Don't anyone be disappointed if the Highlanders are
beaten by a seemingly large score today. After all, the
University of Kentucky is about five or six times as large
as Maryville, and although we don't want to accuse any-
one of subsidizing, the University naturally has a lot of
good football players. For instance, their center, Hinke-
bein, is on the All-American list for this year, And Hinke-
bein, who captains the Wildcat squad, is truly a fine play-
er, one to be watched this year.

Eleven Men Report
For Cross Country

The call for cross-country candidates
was issued last Thursday, and a large
number of candidates have reported to
Weldon Baird, captain and coach. Al-
though there has not yet been any de-
finite meets planned with other col-
leges, the YMCA athletic department
has planned a run for college students.
The race is to be a regular cross-
country run, and is to be run over the
five mile loop through the college
woods. For first place there will be a
trophy awarded, and there will also
be several other prizes in the form of
medals for second, third, and other
place winners. The meet will be held
November 11, in connection with the
East Tenn. Teachers football game,
which will be held in the afternoon.

Coach Thrower has requested that
all men interested in track, especially
in running, report for the cross country
practice. Several veterans have re-
turned back to the team this year, in-
cluding Weldon Baird, and Gene Orr.
Anyone interested in coming out
should report to either of these two
men.

Women's Tournament
Begins Next Tuesday

The annual women's tennis tourna-
ment which is sponsored each fall by
the YWCA, will begin next Tuesday,
Sept. 27th. This tournament is open to
all girls on the campus who are in-
terested. Papers have been placed in
the dormitories for the girls to sign
up on.

Those planning to go out for women's
point system are reminded that points
are awarded for entrance in the tourna-
ment. Play will begin on Tuesday.

Fall tennis swings in this week in a
big way with the opening of the an-
nual fall tennis tournament sponsored
by the YMCA. From all indications the
whole story is going to be Morrow
from the start to finish, but there will
be four or five other fellows pushing
all the way. Van Cise offers the most
competition of any one, and the com-
bination of Morrow and Van Cise all
but eliminate any other chances in the
doubles.

Forty-four men signed up for the
tournament and the courts will be kept
warm between now and next Wednes-
day with first round matches. The
four seeded players: Morrow, Van
Cise, Akana, and Stevenson, were
ranked in the order in which they fin-
ished in last spring's tennis tournament
and unless the dope bucket takes a
beating, things will run pretty much
to form.

Morrow ranked number one on the
tennis team last year, and was runner
up in the last two fall tournaments.
As the next three players on last year's
team are not back this year, Van Cise,
who played number four, stands next
in line to inherit the number two posi-
tion. Akana and Stevenson ranked 6th
and 7th last spring and are expected to
give Van Cise a close race, and a gen-
eral all around good account of them-
selves.

First round matches are posted on
the bulletin board in Carnegie hall,
and all first round matches are to be
played off by Sept. 26.

240 SCHEDULE CHANGES

Approximately 240 schedule changes
were made by students last Tuesday,
announced Dr. Frank D. McClelland,
director of personnel yesterday. Tues-
day was the only day set aside for
these changes and no others may be
made this semester.

By Bill Felknor

Four o'clock Wednesday afternoon a
strange procession of six brawny Scot-
ties started on their way toward the
college campus carrying a strangely
berigged cot, and among this assort-
ment of pulleys and wires, was Law-
rence Lowe. Staggering along behind
with the sand weight was Miss Heron,
bravely forming the rear guard.

It all started a week ago last Thurs-
day when Lawrence and Bill Baird
tried to catch different passes from
different directions in the same place.
Each had his eye on the ball he was
to catch when they collided, and Law-
rence received a broken leg in the
melee.

For the first week, Lawrence was in
the hospital in Little Town, and then
last Thursday came the procession
back to the "Hill." It seems that Law-
rence had too many ornaments on his
leg to get into the ambulance; so man
power was called out to meet the
emergency.

Lowe, a senior this year, was one of
the main stays at end, and his loss
will be serious to the Scottie squad.
Bad luck seems to stalk Lawrence on
the football field, for 'twas only two
years ago that he had his chances shat-
tered by a broken collar bone. But he
came back and was all set to make a
killing this year when hard-luck threw
him for another loss.

Lawrence's humor seems undaunted,
and his only worry seems to be that
some of you guys and gals may quit
coming over to the hospital to see him.
Three months is a long time to be in
bed.

Highlanders To Tangle With Kentucky
'Cats At Lexington This Afternoon

Twenty-five Men Entrain To The University. McCurry
Has Fractured Ankle; Out for Month

By Doug Steakley, Echo Sports Editor
The Scotties are up in Lexington, Ky., today, having
a tangle with the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Al-
though the Highlanders are not favored to win, or even
come close, the football squad left here Friday afternoon
prepared to fight to the last ditch, and give Kentucky a
tough afternoon. Twenty-five men are making the trip
to Lexington, and they left by train from Knoxville at
12:55 p.m., Friday, and arrived in Lexington at 6:15 p.m.

Intramural Sports

By Gene Orr

The YMCA is again sponsoring
a wide program of activities in
which we hope all the fellows
who are physically able will take
part.

The tennis tournament is al-
ready underway. There will be
a singles and a doubles tourna-
ment. As soon as the tennis is
out of the way, the touch foot-
ball season will be started, after
that will come the cross-country
run. We are not sure just yet
when this will be; however, it
will probably be at the East Ten-
nessee Teachers game, which will
be played here November 11.
Next will come basketball, swim-
ming, volleyball, ping-pong, pool,
baseball, track and a spring ten-
is tournament. So you see that
the athletic department has a
very wide litt of activities from
which you may choose; and we
hope that all of you will take
part. The exercise will be good
for you, and also there will be
awards made to the winners of
the tennis tournaments, to the
winners of the cross-country
race, and perhaps to the winners
in ping-pong and pool.

In addition there will be
awarded to the twelve outstand-
ing athletes in interclass com-
petition keys. The winners will
be judged on the number of
games in which they play and on
their ability and sportsmanship.
So let's see you out there work-
ing for your award.

first meeting of the year Monday after-

classroom. Ed Goddard and Jane Law
will read manuscripts.

William Austin, chairman of the gov-
On the Q.T., I think he would like erning board, announced two vacancies

the problem of playing with an injury
riddled squad, declined to say much
about the game. He did say, however,
that they would try to give Kentucky
as good a game as possible, and that
as far as the score was concerned, any-
thing under 40 points would satisfy
him. Captain Al Burris, who will start
the game, but will be unable to see
much service due to his bad ankle,
stated that the squad was determined,
and would try to tie the 'Cats' tail for
them.

Another serious loss to the squad
was announced late Thursday, when
an x-ray showed that Eugene Mc-
Curry had received a fractured ankle
in practice last week. McCurry, who
was the regular starting tackle and
letterman from last year, will prob-
ably be out for four weeks or more.
His vacancy will be replaced either by
S. K. Taylor, or Hal Henschen, both
big boys; each of them weighing over
180 pounds.

Coach Honaker announced that the
starting lineup would probably be
something like this: At quarterback,
Al Burris will start, with Scottie Hon-
aker ready to relieve him. At full,
George Garner will start, with Hunt,
a freshman, held in reserve. J. D.
Hughes will be at left-half, and George
Morton will be at right half. On the
line, Joe Etheredge will be at right end,
and Tommy Taylor at left end, two
fine boys, both fast and good pass re-
ceivers. At right tackle will be big Ar-
nold Kramer, and either Hil Henschen
or S. K. Taylor will start at left tackle.
Little Harold Burns will be at right
guard, and Obie Jenkins will handle
left guard. "Nig" Wilburn will start at
center.

The Scottie line will have to find re-
placements from Bill Baud, end; and
Shelf er, end; Napier at tackle, Smith
and Tipton at guard, and Dizney at
center.

The men who made the trip to Lex-
ington are: George Garner, J. D.
Hughes, Al Burris, George Morton,
Hunt, Honaker, Boydson Baird, Bill
Baird, Sam Pickens, Cragan, Nicely,
Shelfer, Napier, S. K. Taylor, Smith,
Tipton, Dizney, Taylor, Etheredge,
Kramer, Henschen, Jenkins, Burns.

Students Think Addition Of Women As
Cheerleaders Would Improve Cheers

THE HIGHLAND ECHO SEPTEMBER 24, 1938

In order to find out just how the
student body feels about the question of
girl cheerleaders, the ECHO has under-
taken a poll of a cross-section of the
students living both on and off the
campus, and some very startling facts
have come to light.

The first conclusion reached was
that hardly anyone seemed to be in
favor of the women having full com-
mand of all the lung-power on the
campus. At the same time a second
conclusion almost unanimously reached
was that there could be considerable
improvement in the quality of the
cheering, particularly if the leaders
had better cooperation from the cheer-
ing section.

The question now remaining is
whether or not we should continue
with all men leaders or use a com-
bination of men and women. The op-
inion of the students on this question
seems to have been answered quite
definitely by the poll, for out of 38
interviewed, only 10 have expressed
themselves in favor of continuing to
let the men control the cheering crowd.
The final results of the poll showed
these figures: For girls 28; against
girls 10.

Here are some of the opinions of
various students on both sides of the
question.

HARRIET MILLER: I think girls
would make just as good cheerleaders
as .boys.

DICK WOODRING: What the Mary-
ville cheering section needs is four
good cheerleaders— two girls and two
boys.

LOUISE PROFFITT: Girl cheer-
leaders are too much like high school.
I think boys are better.

ARNOLD KRAMER: All big schools
have girl cheerleaders. Why shouldn't
Maryville?

MARIANNA ALLEN: Girl cheer-
leaders would be a great help toward
arousing more enthusiasm, particular-
ly if they will really put some effort
into their work.

DALE RUSSELL: A good girl cheer-
leader must be good-looking. If the
right kind of cheerleaders are selected,
they will be a great help.

MARY ORR: Girl cheerleaders look
too amateurish.

CURTMARIE BROWN: Girls are al-
ways talking and making noise any-
way. Why shouldn't they lead cheers?

ing. Particularly are new students in-
vited to come and find out just what

Chilhowean Plans
Pushed As Sophs

Juniors and Seniors Adopt

Last Year's Financing

System

■ Plans are shaping into definite pro-
gress for the 1931 Chilhowean.

In a sophomore class meeting Wed-
nesday morning six representatives
were elected to serve on the Chilhow-
ean staff: Louis* Wells, Sue Stevenson,
Jean White, PW1 Kvaul, Charles Bald-
win, and Tom Cragan.

Ill a joint meeting of the junior and
senior classes Wednesday morning, ail
plana were considered and adopted.
Contracts have been signed with the
Benson Printing Company of Nash-
ville, Tennessee, and with the Capper
Engraving, Company of Knoxville, Ten-
nessee.

Last year's entire system, including
the method of payment and the price,
is being repeated. The payment of
$1.00 will be made in one down pay-
ment of $1.00 which can be made on or
before October 14, two $1.00 payments
during the year at designated times,
and one $1.00 payment on delivery in
distributed Thursday morning in chap-
el.

A new feature being introduced this
year is color on each page, in some
form of a border.

The senior section will be opened
within the next week. Further an-
nouncements will be made in chapel.

At a meetin gheld after chapel this
morning the senior class voted to take
the hundred dollar guarantee deposit
for the Chilhowean from the class
treasury instead of collecting it from
each individual as was done last year.
Editor Otto Pflanze announced that
the senior section of the annual would
open next week and urged all seniors
to have their picture made as soon as
possible.

The class considered the question of
dues, but on the announcement by
Prof. Verton M. Queener that the fac-
ulty had vetoed the suggested deletion
of the section of the Chilhowean agree-
ment setting class dues, no action was
taken.

clude Dr. Hill Shine, who will discuss
Shakespeare's theatre; Malcolm Miller,
Knoxville dramatic critic, who will de-
scribe some of the famous Hamlets he

Women Given Trial
On Cheering Squad

Enthusiasm Shown At Trial
(James Will Be Test

The first regular meeting of the Disc
club will be held Friday, October 7,
at 4:30, in the Fine Arts studio. Ap-
propriate to the occasion an all-over-
ture program has been planned in-
cluding Von Suppe's "Poet and Pea-
sant," Beethoven's "Egmont," Wagner's
"Tannhauser," and Tschaikowsky's im-
mortal overture-fantasia, "Romeo and
Juliet." Thomas Schafer will be com-
mentator.

The Disc club, organized two years
ago, is composed of both students and
faculty who share the desire to hear
fine music through the medium of
modern recordings. The meetings are
completely informal, and the only re-
quirement for membership is a sincere
interest in the works of the great com-
posers.

Women cheerleaders elected in chap-
el yesterday arid leading the cheering
last evening at the Tusculum game are
to be given a trial for two games to
see if the quality of the cheering is
improved, announced Miss Jessie He-
ron of the pep^ committee yesterday.
The amount of enthusiasm shown at
the two trial games will determine
whether the present set up will be
continued, she said.

The complete list of cheerleaders
elected in chapel yesterday includes
Frank Brink, veteran of last year's
squad, Betsy Gaultney, Lynn Tyndall,
Bob Lamont, Frank Cross, and Peggy
Carter.

Another feature at the game last
night was the first appearance of the
band in uniform this year. Miss Lois
Barnwell, newly elected sponsor, was
presented with a bouquet of dahlias
in a ceremony conducted by represen-
tatives of the student council, before
the game. The band paraded between
the halves.

Parish Project

In Second Year

Under the direction of the Rev.
Floyd R. Watt, the Maryville college
Parish Project has recently begun its
second full year. Approximately thirty-
five students volunteered for the work
earlier in the week, and this Sunday
they will be sent to points in the vi-
cinity of Maryville.

The Parish Project began its first
full year in 1937. Students go to the
various points on Sunday morning or in
the afternoon and conduct Sunday
schools. They have been instrumental
in organizing during the past year
Sunday schools and missions at places
where there were no opportunities for
religious services. The project is fin-
anced by the Presbyterian Board of
National Missions and the college, and
is supervised by Mr. Watt and Dr. H.
E. Orr, chairman of the Maryville
Parish Committee.

Forty-one students have reported for
the Maryville College Little Symphony
orchestra announced the Director
Ralph Colbert today. The orchestra has
already held two rehearsals in begin-
ning the year's activities.

There are still two vacancies in the
orchestra personnel. Mr. Colbert would
like any one with experience in playing
the instruments to try out for posi-
tions playing the string bass and the
cello. These two instruments are own-
ed by the college.

Drama And Music

Theta Epsilon closes its rush week
activities with a program tonight in
Voorhees chapel, which will be trans-
formed into "Chapel Theatre" for the
occasion. From the "theatre" the guests
will go to the Merryville for light re-
freshments.

"The Return," an adaptation from
the "Iron Woman," by Margaret De-
land made by Bernard Btlyatt, a Mary-
ville grauate, will be presented in the
"theatre." In *he cast will be Muriel
Mann, Katherine Warren, and Gordon

Following the play, the guests Will
go to the Merryville, where they will
be entertained by the Merry Madcaps
orchfestra; The'ta's ballerina, Kitty
Bennett; Peg Haldey, songstress; and
Bernard Boyatt, fancy dancer. Re-
freshments will be served by Alpha
Sigma waiters.

The rush week program Which has
been conducted all week is Theta's bid
to the freshmen. The first part of the
week the new women were entertained
at a splash party at the St. George
swimming pool. Later in the week,
guests Were shown the wild Bohemian
life of New York's Greenwich* Village,
and this evening they are to be taken
to the Great White Way. All these acti-
vities have been planned to carry out
the theme of a visit to New York.

Discussion Groups
Held Foi- Ff eShftieft

On September 21 the freshman class
had its first discussion group meeting.
These meetings, which are held after
chapel on the first Wednesday morn-
ing of each month continuing through
April, are a part of the orientation pro-
gram for the new students.

The plan this year differs from that
used last year and from the plan used
in some other colleges. Several schools
have orientation lectures fbr the fresh-
man class as a whole, but those in
charge of the program of adjustment
for new students at Maryville favor
the idea of small discussion groups or
guidance groups of from twenty-five
to thirty students. The students are
divided alphetically, and meet in var-
ious class rooms.

There are eleven of these groups,
six groups of women and five groups
of men. Those leading the women's
groups are, Mrs. Snyder, Miss Henry,
Miss Keller, Miss Johnson, Mrs. Brown,
and Mrs. Queener. Those leading the
men's groups are Dr. Hunter, Dr. Orr,
Mr. McCurry, Mr. Williams, and Dr.
McClelland. These leaders are counse-
lors for the individuals of their group
for the remainder of the year. The
meetings will continue to be held up
to the time of the selection of major

Of Equipment For New
Project

TO BE BEHIND DORM

Sixteen places have been filled in
the college vespers choir since the be-
ginning of the school year. The addi-
tions have been mostly from the
freshman class, but a few upperclass-
men have been added to the choir
personnel.

The new members of the group are:
sopranos— Ruth Lane, Charlotte Colby,
Louise Marshall; altos— Ruth Mackl
Margaret Knox, Mary Russ, Margaret
Lodwick, Doris M. Smith; tenors— Stu-
art Perrin, George Vance, Charles Lov-
ette, Charles Orr; basses— Ralph Reed,
Jack Gilmore, David Hall, and Dean
Stiles.

There are still three vacancies in the
alto section, but Director Ralph Col-
bert emphasizes that it is important
that those who try out be able to sight
read.

Mr. Colbert plans to have tryouts
for the glee clubs next week, and will
announce the exact time in chapel.

German Prints Are A Valuable Asset To College

The fine set of prints which Mrs.
John Walker presented to the college
this summer, and which now grace the
walls of Carnegie, Pearsons, and the
offices in Anderson, are definitely an
artistic asset to the college, qualified
judges tell us. This would be quite
encouraging to that large group who
"don't now anything about art, but
who know what they like" — for the
prints have become the objects of
much interested scrutiny since their
appearance here.

Forty-four in number, they include
a comprehensive selection of late- 19th
century German pastorals, a genre of
increasing popularity with collectors
in this country. Mrs. Walker, herself
a connoisseur in several branches of
the arts, and a woman of unimpeach-

able taste in them all, originally pur-
chased the present collection from a
Pittsburgh importer for the decoration
of her home in Canada.

One of the best examples hangs in
the lobby of Pearsons hall. An unsign-
ed harvest scene, its effectiveness de-
pends on the simplicity of its composi-
tion and the particularly successful
treatment of the third dimension.
Shocks of wheat, in long golden rows
converging in the middle distance, give
a feeling of great depth, one of the
most exacting problems of the strictly
two-dimensional medium.

Interesting for its experiment in eo-
lor is L. Gaivired's scene in the Hartz
mountains. Done entirely in blues and
greens, the result is an excellent homo-
geneity without the monotony or loss

of contrast which might have reward-
ed a less-skilled hand.

One of the least typical of the prints
is a small garden scene on the walls
of Carnegie. Executed in a fine cross-
hatch of pure colors, it relates in tech-
nique to the wo '; of the French im-
pressionists of the last century, who
painted straight f urn the tube, and let
light and distance produce the inter-
mediate tones.

Another print of distinction, likewise
in Carnegie lobby, is a sombre mid-
winter landscape. The colors are unob-
trusive—leaden sky and dull snow
against a background of sienna and
green. The anonymous artist was, how-
ever, a master of forceful line, and the
opposing diagonals of valley and moun-
(Cont. on Page Two)

Thirty-six freshmen met yesterday
afternoon in Miss Jessie Johnson's class
room in Thaw hall to receive assign-
ments for the final tryouts for the
Highland Echo staff. On the basis of
stories turned in, twelve will be chosen
for positions of freshman apprentices.

Pauline Cope, John Fisher, and War-
ren Ashby are now trying for the
junior position which is open and one
additional opening on the sophomore
staff has been made by the resignation
of Tommy Woolf. Any one wishing to
apply for junior or sophomore posi-
tions may do so by leaving a written
application in the staff office or by see-
ing George Felknor.

The freshmen entering the final try-
outs are Elizabeth Badgett, Frank
Cross, Charlotte M. Colby, Ruth Dug-
gan, Dorothy Firth, Warren Culver,

Work Has Already Begun

At Site Ai Tenants

Cooperate

On Thursday of this week contracts
for two boilers We*e" signed by Dr.
Ralph W. Lloyd with Bibcock and Wil-
cox Company, the signing of these
contracts makes the new heating sys-
tem for the college a reality. The new
plant will be located next to the rail-
road tricks below Carnegie hill. The
distributing point for the new system
will eventually be under Anderson
hall, although a line to the present
distributing point will supply heat for
i time. The new system Will be con-
nected this winter, though the actual
date has hot yet been announced.

For a number of years the college
has been faced with the necessity of
replacing the old plant. This plant has
rendered excellent service in lis time.
When installed it was estimated that
the old boilers Were capable of one-
fourth more radiation than was then
used by the college buildings. Howveer,
their load his been Increased until they
are how heating more than twice as
much as When they Were installed. The
ne*r boilers Will hive twice the capa-
city of the old, and are of the litest
design. The new system will cost ap-
proximately $40,000. This sum has been
finally secured by a legacy and a num-
ber of gifts, and with the approval of
the directors, the work has been be-»
#"*. -:i -■•'■ ' ; i^j.

The plant will consist of a brick
building, two boilers, and a brick
smokestack. This smokestack will be
150 feet high, about twice as high as
the tallest now in use. It will be mono-
grammed on the side facing Main
street with an M.C. design. Because of
its great height, it will have to be built
by a firm specializing in such work,
and it will cost between three and four
thousand dollars. The boilers will be
equipped With automatic stokers and
smoke-consumers. The whole is de-
signed to be as attractive as possible
in appearance. The supervising archi-
tects and engineers are Barber and
McMurry of Knoxville and their con-
sultants. Contracts for the building,
the smokestack, stokers, pumps, and
other materials will be let immediately.

Already considerable work has been
done at the location. The old rock-
crusher has been removed and the con-
crete foundations blasted out, and th«
Southern Railroad has removed its
loading track so as not to spoil thje at-

Merry -UiHe Qo Round

By FRED RHODl]

Another Worthwhile Step

Mr. Donald Grant, lecturer, news correspondent, world
traveler and student of Europe's current history, will bring
his particularly timely knowledge of the international sit-
uation to Maryville college next week. In his lectures,
which will begin Monday and continue through Wednesday,
Mr. Grant seems excellently qualified to give a balanced
view of these most vital present-day problems. As a cor-
respondent and onlooker at Geneva and as an international
student and traveler he may be expected to present a fair-
ly unbiased viewpoint— something most desirable in any
crisis. • .' -J -«-=!•-,

In securing Mr. Grant, Maryville college is taking an-
other worthwhile step in bringing outstanding personali-
ties face to face with the students.

Although it is a privilege to study the work of such
men as James Truslow Adams in the classroom, it is re-
freshing and enlightening and particularly impressive to
see and hear such men as Dr. Frank Darvall, Institute of
International Education lecturer of two years ago; Albert
F. Murray, Philco television expert; Dr. Howard Moody
Morgan, Christian leader; and William E. Dodd, former
ambassador to Germany, as they develop subjects which
are of vital importance to the world with which they are
in close touch.

Dr. Dodd on his return from Germany last spring spoke
to an entranced audience in the chapel; where, when his
reputation is considered, he recorded current history. As
Mr. Grant tells of the subsequent developments in Europe
since Dr. Dodd's visit he will bring to students of Mary-
ville college the unusual educational opportunity of view-
ing the tangled knots of world affairs in as nearly their
true light as they can be shown by contemporary histori-
ans.

By QEORQE L. HUNT

The pep committee has announced that women cheer-
leaders will be allowed to try out for two home football
games and whether, or not, they will become a permanent
part of the cheering squad will be determined by the en-
thusiasm shown by the cheering section. Under these con-
ditions a great deal depends on the cheering section as well
as the women cheerleaders and if the students actually
want them to become a permanent part of the squad they
will have to support and cooperate with them.

A New Powerhouse

For a long time one of the most needed things around
Maryville college campus has been a new powerhouse. It
has been badly needed not only because the old heating
system had been outgrown by the college and taxed be-
yond its limit for some years, but because of the incon-
venient location and, shall we say, lack of beauty of the
old one. To the donors of the new powerhouse present
and future Maryvillians are grateful.

Judging by their first appearance, the band is going
to be a big asset to the future home football games. They
performed admirably, considering that this was their first
public appearance of the year. Perhaps it was the inspira-
tion of the attractive sponsor, Miss Barnwell.

Something that came up our hall the first part of
school is still here and we would like to get rid of it. Cast-
ing no reflection on the owner or the subject, will some-
one please tell E. B. Smith to come around and get the pic-
ture of his grandfather which has been in our room
ever since we got back? He's a nice looking gentleman,
Elbert, but we think you would rather acknowledge the
kinship than us.

Maryville pulled a Satevepost in getting Mr. Donald
Grant at such an opportune time. You know the Post
is constantly remarking about how current events and its
articles so often coincide; as, on August 2nd newspaper
headlines read "Jap-Russ War On," and the Post that came
out that day carried an article written four weeks before
that time entitled "Second Russo-Japanese War is On."

Among our memories of Greyhound grabbing is the
one that approximately one year ago a piece Les Luxton
was singing as we rode next to him was called "Bie Mir
Bist du Schoen." It passed away to be revived perhaps in
a few years by a tune detective or a song writer in a
dull moment. That is some encouragement, anyway, for
those who put on ear muffs when someone starts "Tisk-
taskbask" or "Fatfootfoojie." All of which reminds us to
recommend to you Bob Martin's version of "Little Miss
Muffett."

Our linotypist at least will enjoy the following item
clipped from a weekly magazine:

A printer got slightly peeved at a letterhead from a
doctor who wanted bids on several hundred letterheads,
different sizes, different grades, and different colors, and
wanted the printing form held standing. So the printer
took his typewriter in hand and wrote:
"Am in the market for bids on one operation for appendi-
citis. One, two, or five-inch incision — with or without
ether — also with or without nurse. If appendix is found to
be sound, want quotations to include putting back same
and cancelling order. If removed, successful bidder is ex-
pected to hold incision open for about sixty days, as I ex-
pect to be in the market for an operation for gallstones at
that time and want to save the extra cost of cutting."

We repeat, the linotypist might like it, but he might
never get to see it: the editor is a pre-med.

• • • •

Pursuing our interest in word origins, we pass on to
you the fact that the squirrel is so called because of his
bushy tail. The word "squirrel" is from the Greek, skia
and aura, which mean shade-tail. So the squirrel sits un-
der the shade of its own tail.

From our scrap-book:

William Armstrong
Bill was a good kid,

But one day somebody knocked his faith in God
To worthless pieces.
So he got drunk.

I sang to him in the jail yesterday.
Prayer of My Heart
Let all my life be music.

Let there swell one glorious harmony of contentment,
And let there beat one glorious discord of unrest.
Let there be crescendos of happiness
And soundless pianissimos of quiet tears.
Let there be soft notes of love so sweetly played
And booming chords of strength) and mightiness.
This is my prayer, O Lord.
Let my life be music.

Last Monday evening the Carolina
club met in Bainonian hall at 6:45.
After the president, Harriet Walkup,
had welcomed the new students and
the new officers had been introduced,
the program was turned oyer to Gene-
vieve Metcalf, the program seceretary.

Eloise Zimmerman opened the pro-
gram with a piano solo. Georgia Ingle
gave several readings and Mary Cath-
erine Patterson sang for the club. The
humor of the program was supplied by
Earl Tweed, after which the program
closed with the singing of the club
song, "Carolina Moon."

tractive appearance of the new build-
ings with piles of lumber and empty
freight cars. The site of the few
building was chosen to get it out ol
the center of the campus; to get the
proper elevation, since it must be low-
er than the buildings; so that the con-
densed steam may drain back to the
boilers by gravity; and to eliminate the
hauling of coal by trucks, since a
chute from the stacks will allow it to
be dumped directly from the cars into
trie coalhouse.

When the new system is connected,
the old building will be demolished,
and the circular drive will be con-
tinued from Carnegie hall to Bartlett
hall. The garage now standing
next to the site of the new plant will
be remodeled, and made a garage and
shop for college use.

With the letting of the various con-
tracts the work will progress rapidly,
and the new plant will soon be in use.

These discussion groups are for the
purpose of helping new students ad-

scholastically and socially. The dis-

One out of every three boys and

will be on a college campus this fall,
experts at the federal office of educa-

Noting the tendency of colleges and
universities to "shop" for students,
many eminent professors and educators
have recently raised their hands in
horror. "It's getting to be a big busi-

colleges to try to outdo each other in

Speaking of Swing

Swing is not king at Indiana uni-
versity. A recent poll conducted in the
Music department showed that 14 per
cent of those interviewed were active-
ly interested in classical music against
the two per cent who were in favor of
swing.

The first meeting of the Writer's
Workshop was held last Monday in
Dr. Hunter's classroom. Jane Law read
an original short short story and Ed-
win Goddard, a familiar essay.

Two vacancies were announced by
the membership committee, to be fil-
led at a later date. The readers for
the next meeting will be Miss Jessie
Johnson and John Wintermute.

FOOTBALL—

About the only thing funny that came out of the Ken-
tucky game was a little bit of conversation between
Hinkebein of Kentucky, and E. B. Smith of Maryville.
Smith was across the line from the great rjinkebein, and
Hinky looked at Smith real hard and then said, "Look out,
son, this play is coming right over you."

Smith looked back at him and replied very meekly,
"Yes sir."

Union College of Ky., whom Maryville plays Oct.
22, has a squad of only 18 men. They had only one center,
and he was injured when he fell in the shower room after
their first game. They had to shift their left end into cen-
ter. Lots of credit is due the Union squad.

Did you see the look on Boydson Baird's face when
he missed the ball on the kickoff in the third quarter.
That's all right Baird, that was a beautiful kickoff the
second time. Good for 50 yards anyhow.

Those of you who saw Hunt run into the fence sur-
rounding the football field last night, will recognize the
need for taking thebarb wire off the top of the fence. Hunt
cut his eye on the wire, and if he had hit the barbed wire,
his eye could have been seriously injured. Surely there is
no need for that extra strand across the top, why not re-
move it for the safety of the football players ?

Point System Will
Start October 4th

The point system in women's sports
will start on October 4 with a meeting
of all interested girls at Bartlett audi-
torium. This year the sports played will
include soccer, basketball, speedball,
baseball, aerial dart, track, swimming.

All women interested in going out for
any one of these sports are urged to be
at this meeting, during which the
entire idea of point system will be ex-
plained. Generally speaking, point
system is a way in which women may
enter sports, and if at the end of the
season they have earned enough points,
they receive either a sweater, a letter,
or a monogram, depending upon the
number of points they secure.

Point system is conducted on Tues-
days and Thursdays throughout the
year. Women are divided according to
classes, and each class has a team in
each sport. Hazel Eddins will take
charge this year, under the direction
of Mrs. Verton Queener.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS
By Gene Orr

The tennis tournament has not
been coming along rapidly
enough so far. If possible, we
would like the singles and the
doubles tournaments to be over
by next Saturday. A few of you
have been wanting to know when
interclass football is going to
start. The only thing that I can
tell you now is: that, the sooner
you get your matches played in
the tennis tournament, the sooner
it will be over, and football will
start just as soon as tennis is
gotten out of the way. The fol-
lowing are the class athletic
directors. See them if you have
any questions about intramural
sports.

The Kentucky Wildcats tore all overjK —
the Maryville college Highlanders last
Saturday afternoon, and took the
Mountaineers over the ropes to the
score of 46-7. The Scotties put up a
stiffer opposition to the 'Cats than the
score indicates, holding the larger
team to two touchdowns in the first
half, but weakening under the contin-
ual onslaught of fresh Kentucky hus-
kies and allowing the University to
score five more in the second half. The
only Maryville touchdown came in the
fourth quarter with six minutes to go,
when Jim Etheredge, Maryville's stel-
lar end, laid out on the sidelines on an
old time "sleeper play", and caught a
pass flipped from Scottie Honaker's
able hands, and then proceeded to gal-
lop 75 yards for a touchdown. The dash
was really beautiful to watch; Ether-
edge, who had been playing a whale
of a game, took the ball and ran past
the whole astonishjed Kentucky back-
field. Morton converted the extra point
with a pretty place kick.

Combs of Kentucky was responsible
for the first 'Cat touchdown when he
ran 39 yards to the Maryville eight
yard line late in the first quarter. Two
plays later he took the ball on a wide
end sweep and ran unmolested into the
end zone for the first touchdown of the
game. In the second quarter, Zoeller,
a beautiful passer, heaved a long for-
ward pass into the arms of Spears,
who was waiting for the ball in Mary-
ville's end zone. Zoeller also scored the
third Wildcat touchdown in the third
quarter, when he went over right
guard on a power play to make the
score 21-0. From this point on, the
Kentucky coach, Ab Kirwan, kept
shooting in fresh subs, and wore down
the Highlanders defense, and they
scored 25 more points before the final
gun sounded.

Although the Kentucky team out-
classed Maryville, the Scotties should
have no remorse in their hearts, for
they played a bang-up game. Kentucky
scored 20 first downs to Maryville's
five. Hinkebein, Kentucky's great cen-
ter, looked every bit as good as pre-
game writers would have us believe.
He continually broke up line plays,
and made holes in the Maryville line
a truck could have gone through.
Combs, left half for Kentucky, starred
in the backfield, scoring two touch-
downs, and making most of the large
gains for the Wildcats.

Etheredge looked plenty good for
Maryville, making tackle after tackle,
and was continually a thorn in Ken-
tucky's side. J. D. Hughes, backfield,
played fine ball for the Mountaineers.
Morton was also outstanding in the
backfield. Al Burris, although unable
to play much of the game, looked good
while he was in there. On the line, Jen-
kins was one of the toughest tackles
on the field that afternoon. Shelfer, a
reserve end, showed plenty of promise
for a freshman.

Progressing as per schedule, the first
three rounds of the tennis tournament
have wound up without a single upset,
and all of the four seeded players have
come through without losing a set.
From indications all will find berths in
the seminfinal round.

The only player having advanced to
the quarter finals thus far is George
Webster, who obtained his place in the
third from last round by defeating J.
Burns, 6-2,6-3. Other players having
advanced to the third round are Mor-
row, Kent, Manning, Lewis, Morgan,
Kindred, Stevenson, Akana, Gastrook,
Hoelzer, Felknor and Van Cise.

Three teams have reached the quar-
ter finals in the doubles tournament.
Morrow and Van Cise won over Hall
and Mooney, 6-1, 6-1; Gastrook and
Whitaker won over Lewis and Steak-
ley, 6-2, 6-2; Akana and Stevenson ad-
vanced by means of a forfeit.

Unless something drastic happens,
the squeigie board indicates that Mor-
row, Van Cise, Akana, and Stevenson
will play it off in the seminfingls in
singles and that Morrow and Van Cise
will finish things off in the finals. The
four will line up with Stevenson and
Akana meeting Morrow and Van Cise
in the doubles finals in all probability.

By Doug Steakley, Sports Editor

The Maryville college Highlanders opened their
Smoky Mountain Conference here last night by handing
the Tusculum Pioneers a 28-0 setback. J. D. Hughes, stel-
lar Scotty halfback, led the scoring spree by personally
accounting for 20 points. George Garner, sophomore full-
back, scored the other touchdown on a thirty yard gallop,

Tusculum kicked off and Morton took the ball on his
fifteen and almost broke away from the Pioneers, being
stopped on the fifty-five yard line by the Tusculum safety
man. Hughes scored the first touchdown of the ganie a
few plays later when he "took the ball on his own 33 yard
line and skirted around right end, and then cut back to
the middle to truck on down for a seventy-two yard run
for the first score.

There was nice blocking on the playX.

r*»"

by "Nig" Wilburn, who cut down one
of the secondary, men who was about
to tackle Hughes. Hughes attempted
to place kick the extra point, but the,
kick was blocked by Merrill. Tom Tay-
lor, however, caught the ball in thp
air and carried it over the line, mak-
ing good the extra point. Score —
Maryville 7, Tusculum 0.

Hughes chalked up the second touch-
down in the second quarter, when he
ploughed through the Pioneer's left
tackle. Hughes placement was good,
and the score at the end of the half
was Maryville 14, Tusculum 0.

On the second play in the second
half, Tusculum fumbled and Maryville
recovered deep in Tusculum territory.
Hughes then took the ball over on a
spread play to the right. Morton con-
verted the extra point. Score Maryville
21, Tusculum 0. A few minutes later
George Garner got loose on a wide end
sweep around the left side and ran
twenty-five yards for a touchdown.
Hughes converted the extra point with
a place kick and the score Maryville
28, Tusculum 0.

Tusculum threatened once in the
first quarter, when Herbst tossed two
successive forward passes to Heinz.
The Pioneers reached as far as the
Maryville thirty, but they were stop-
ped there by the Highlander's line.
Once more in the fourth quarter when
a fifty yard punt to Maryville's ten,
and a fumble in the Scotty backfield
left the ball on the six yard line, Tus-
culum seriously threatened to cross
the line. Morton, Scotty halfback, then
intercepted a pass on the ten, and on
the next play, Garner broke loose for
a 45 yard run on a fake punt play to
put the ball out of the danger zone.

Maryville threatened to add another
touchdown near the end of the first
half, when Tom Taylor caught a pass
on the two yard line. Maryville, how-
ever, was penalized five yards for off-
side, and before the second team could
push over the touchdown, the half had
ended.

Maryville definitely proved , last
night, to be one of the contenders' for
the SMC championship. The team
showed power on running plays, and
the passes, although not clicking per-r
fectly, gained plenty of ground for the
Scots. With George Garner, J,. D.
Hughes, and Jim Etheredge in the
lineup, the Highlanders will be some->
thing for the other teams to look out
for. Garner played a beautiful game at
fullback, making several long, jaiints
for thirty yard gains into the Tuscu-
lum secondary. "High School" Hugh-
es, our All-Conference hope, played his
usual fine game at half back. Jim Eth-
eredge, who scored against Kentucky
last week, looked good breaking up
plays, and making tackle after tackle.
Several freshmen, namely Hunt, Tip-
ton, and Shelfer, looked good in their
opening appearance here.

Next week the team will journey to
Milligan college. Last year Maryville
won by a 20-6 score. Those of you who
remember the game will recall that the
Scots faced a much tougher team than
the score indicates. The game at Milli-
gan promises to be a real battle, for
the Buffaloes are out to avenge the de-
feat they suffered here last year. r.

Organ Fund Totals
$1919 After Gift

The Class of 1936, through its presi-
dent, M. H. Gamble, has given the
balance of its fund on hand after
graduation to the Organ Fun<J of the
college.

The Organ Fund started last year
now totals $1819. It is estimated that
the cost of installing an adequate or-
gan in the chapel will be about $3300.
Thus, about $1400 must be secured this
fall if the organ is to be built for in-
stallation at the Christmas vacation.

Some students have suggested that
other classes, with balance available,
might wish to incorporate them in this
Fund.

The Elizabeth Gowdy Baker Art
Gallery, located on the second floor
of Anderson hall annex, is open now
to students, faculty, and the public
every afternoon from three to five
o'clock. Maryville college is very for-
tunate to haye so fine a collection of
paintings, which includes both portraits
and landscapes in oil and water color.
The collection is so large that only a
part of it is hung, but it is the inten-
tion to change it from time to time so
that all the pictures may be shown
during the year.

Mrs. Baker was one of the few artists
to attain outstanding success in water
color, a medium that it elusive and
difficult to master. During her life-
time she executed many portraits com-
missions, as well as compositions of
various sorts which are always the real
and personal delight of the artist.

It is hoped that the students will take
advantage of this opporunity to add to
their general cultural growth, and will
"get in the habit" of dropping into the
gallery often for a few minutes ob-
servation of these fine pictures.

MARYVILLE, TENN. OCTOBER 8, 1938

Grant Concludes
Eleventh Lecture
With Open Forum

Well Received By Students,

Members Of Faculty

And Visitors

Mr. Donald Grant, lecturing under
the auspices of the Institute of Inter-
national Education, spoke in Bartlett
hall last Wednesday afternoon on "The
British Empire in 1938," and so con-
cluded a series of lectures which be-
gan on Monday. During his short visit
to Maryville college, Mr. Grant gave
a total of eleven lectures; ten of these
were presented at tbte college, and one
was given in Maryville before the
members of the Kiwanis club.

Friendly, informal, and a speaker
of great force, Mr. Grant was well re-
ceived by the many students, faculty
members and various others who at-
tended his lectures. Bartlett hall, esti-
mated to seat approximately two hun-
dred and thirty people, was filled to
capacity at each of the seven lectures
there.

Having traveled, lived and worked
lor seventeen years in many lands, Mr.
Grant has studied closely the political
and international situation and has
written and lectured widely on the
basis of his experience. His presenta-
tion of current world events was giv-
en in a scholarly and interesting man-
ner, enabling his listeners to gain a
clearer understanding of the European
and Asiatic situation and a deeper in-
sight into world affairs.

Speaking of the emphases in the lec-
ture, Mr. Grant, in his pamphlet, "Dis-
cussion of International Problems with
Students in the South," writes that he
always places Europe first. He prefers
his lecture "Post-War Europe from
1918 to 1938" because this provides a
general background of fact and of
conflicting interest and policy which
it is necessary to describe and to make
clear. Following this line of procedure
he developed his first three lectures
with this as a starting point. He con-
cluded this topic in his first chapel
program Tuesday morning with a de-
tailed explanation of the current
situation in Germany and Czechoslo-
vakia, drawing the conclusion that al-
though there has been a temporary
alleviation of tension, Germany's stra-
tegic position in Europe has been
strengthened and the collective stand
of France, Great Britain and Russia
has been broken. In discussing Eu-
rope's fear of war from 1933 to 1938,
Mr. Grant showed that as a result of
post-war failure the rise of Germany
and Italy, with) their aggressive policy
and their use of power technique, dis-
turbs and challenges Europe. |They
threaten ultimately "War against the
West."

The title of Mr. Grant's next lecture,
given Tuesday evening in Bartlett hall,
was "The Rise and Meaning of Fasc-
ism in Europe", in which he explained
the historical emergence of Fascism,
it's challegne to civilization, and its
various ramifications as found in Italy,
Germany and pre-Anschluss Austria.
After explaining in his Wednesday
chapel lecture the vital world-wide
importance of Japan's position in the
Pacific basin and in Asia, the speaker
proceeded in the next of the series to
the rise and growth of Soviet Russia
and indicated that many powers are
inclined to minimize this great state
which is rapidly expanding and which
is highly endowed with natural re-
sources.

Mr. Grant's final lecture dealt with
the "British Empire in 1938", wherein

In Spring

Tryouts for freshmen apprentices to
the Highland1 Echo were concluded this
week when 12 freshmen were selec-
ted to fill these positions. The stu-
dents were winners in a series of eli-
minations which has been conducted
during the past few weeks by the
Highland Echo and the Publications
committee.

Chosen from the entire freshman
class, and judged on the basis of abi-
lity and originality shown in assigned
English themes, the first group select-
ed included thirty-six freshmen. These
contestants underwent further elimina-
tion, having to write newspaper stories
on any two of the following subjects:
sports, news, and features. On the mer-
it of these articles, the Publications
committee has appointed the follow-
ing freshmen to serve as apprentices
for this year: Frank M. Cross, Worden
Dubois, J. Donald Kent, Allen J. Moore,
Charles D. Orr, John H Ross, Char-
lotte M. Colby, Katherine Gunnels,
Dorothy Scholl, Doris M. Smith, Doro-
thy Smith, and Bette Umbach.

The Highland Echo will hold ad-
ditional tryouts in the spring for other
freshmen who are particularly inter-
ested in journalism.

Debate Classes
Start This Week

All upperclassmen interested in var-
sity debate will meet next Tuesday
evening at seven o'clock in Professor
Queener's class room to discuss plans
for the coming year.

As in past years, a class will be held
during the first semester, twice a week,
for the purpose of studying the ques-
tion and the principles of debate. This
class will be under the direction of
Professor Queener assisted by Louise
Proffitt. Credit of two semester hours
will be given those completing the
course. An additional hour of credit
will be given those making the team
for the second semester's work.

The question for debate as selected
by Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary
forensic fraternity, is Resolved: That
the United States should cease to use
public funds for the stimulation of
business. This question will be used
by the varsity team throughout the
year in all of its contests.

f

Fifty men left the campus today on
the fall hike sponsored by the YMCA.
They will take the Laurel Falls trail
up Cove mountain in the morning af-
ter spending the night at the foot of
the mountain. The men left in two
groups: twenty-five in a bus at 10:30
this morning, and twenty-five more
at 1:30 this afternoon. They will camp
at a temporary camp ground about two
miles from the foot of the trail. The
afternoon and evening will be spent
in short hikes and impromptu enter-
tainment. In the morning two busses
will take the hikers to the foot of the
trail, arid they will walk the four
miles to the top. There they will have
a worship service, according to custom,
at which Russell Stevenson will give a
talk. Returning to the busses they will
go back to camp for dinner, and will
reach the campus in time for supper
tomorrow night.

Cove mountain is 4,091 feet high,
and sits off from the regular range of
the Smokies. Because of its isolated
situation, it offers a splendid view of
the great Smokies. From the fire tow-
er on the summit all of the larger peaks
can be seen. The busses were provided
by the White Star line of Maryville.
The total cost to each man was 35
cents, the Y making up the difference.
Each man took his own bedding and
cooking utensils.

A Woman Is As Old As She Feels

By Sara Lee Heliums
"A woman is as old as she feels,"
says Mrs. Charles B. Moore, class of
*42. So she came to college, this mother
of four girls and three boys — the
youngest in the third grade, a boy in
Teachers' college at Johnson City, and
a girl attending U-T.

Realizing th? need for an education
and its benefits, Mrs. Moore regrets
that many people do not realize their
opportunities. "It's opened up a whole
new world for me," is her feeling about
coming to Maryville. Taking Home
economics as her major because of its
practibility, she decided after some
hesitation that English has been the
most helpful so far.

At the time of her graduation from
Knoxville high school, Bertha Moore
wished to be an athletic director. She
played on both th^ school and YWCA
basketball teams, and recalls playing
against Lois Wilson, daughter of Presi-
dent emeritus Samuel Wilson, of Mary-
ville. She likes tennis, golf, and gar-
dening, as well.

Rather tlan accept credit for her
courage and nerve in beginning her
college education now, Mrs. Moore de-
dares th it she is just being "selfish."

Expressing what probably every
freshman has thought, Mrs. Moore
says, 'College is splendid, but it cer-
tainly took down my opinion of my
intelligence."

Theta Epsilon and Bainonian socie-
ties pledged new women on Friday
afternoon at their respective meeting
halls. A total of 79 women pledged; 56
to Bainonian and 23 to Theta. Follow-
ing their initiation on next Saturday
evening, the women will be active
members in their societies,

The two previous weeks have been
given over to the annual rush week
activities. Bainonian conducted the girls
on a world wide flight over the Bain-
onian airlines. During the trip the wo-
men vsited all the foreign lands, and on
the opening night were brought back
to America. Theta had as its theme the
cosmopolitan city of New York, where
the new women were shown the gay
life of such a center.

The officers which will head Theta
for the first part of the year include:
Harriet Barber, president; Dorothy
Quass, vice president; Kathleen Cissna,
secretary pro-tern; and Virginia Todd,
treasurer.

The Bainonian officers are: Sara Bol-
ton, president; Lois BarnwAl, vice
president; Jane Law, secretary; and
Marguerite Justus, treasurer.

business before the French club at its
meeting Wednesday evening, October
5. Etta Culbertson presided and
brought up various issues in relation
to the initiation of new members. Af-
ter the business meeting French songs
were sung and a French game played.

New members voted into the or-
ganization were: Arlene Barrett, Stan-
ley Bird, Aline Campbell, Janie Cor-

Latin Professor
Asks Leave For
Indefinite Time

Dr. Davis, Mrs. Crawford,

And Mrs. Campbell

Take Classes

President Ralph W. Lloyd announc-
ed this week that Miss Almira C. Bas-
sett, associate Professor of Latin, has
been advised by her physicians to give
up teaching for a while and spend a
few weeks or months in complete rest.
The college has granted her a leave of
absence.

Miss Bassett became ill last spring,
but recovered her health sufficiently
to warrant the plan to carry on her
reguluar work this fall. However, it
has been decided that a longer period
of recuperation is necessary.

Mrs. Dorothy Nethery Crawford,
who graduated from Maryville college
in 1935, will teach the . Latin courses
in Cicero and Livy. Mrs. Crawford
graduated with magna cum laude
honors, and until her marriage last
year taught Latin in the St. Louis
area.

Mrs. Bassett's classes in Greek his-
tory will be taught by Mrs. C. A.
Campbell, and the course listed as
Latin 3, Fundamentals of Language,
will be taken by Dr. E. W. Davis, or
by someone to be appointed later.

Miss Henry Gives
Statistics On Help

$38,000 Used For Student
Help In One Year

Of the eight hundred students en-
rolled this year, more than five hun-
dred have applied for work during the
college year, according to figures giv-
en out by Miss Clemmie J. Henry,
Director of Student-help. Slightly
more than half are women.

Over $38,000 was spent for student
help from June, 1937 to June, 1938,
Miss Henry states, and indications are
that an equally large sum will be earn-
ed by deserving students in the course
of the next year. A little less than a
third of this amount will be received
from the United States government in
the form of NYA benefits. The re-
mainder will be paid by the college.

If there are any students who want
work who have not yet filled out the
necessary applications, either for col-
lege or NYA help, they are urged to
do so as soon as possible, so that their
names may be put on file. Blanks are
obtainable at the student-help office
in Anderson hall.

Play Committee
To Choose Drama

The Athenian-Bainonian play com-
mittee is considering six plays for this
year's Midwinter. No choices have been
made as yet, but the plays under dis-
cussion are: Idiot's Delight, Holiday,
The Breadwinner, Petrified Forest, Ah
Wilderness, and Drinkwater's Abra-
ham Lincoln.

The committee, made up of Ellen

Be^in Classes In
Remedial Reading

Under the direction of the depart-
ment of psychology, remedial reading
classes for 200 freshmen began this
week. Students who fell below the nor-
mal reading rate in the Iowa silent
reading test are required to take re-
medial work. Many others have asked
permission to take advantage of this
opportunity to improve their rate of
reading.

Of the 287 freshmen who took the
reading test this year, 66 'A were one
or more years retarded in reading rate,
and about the same percentage were
ahead iii reading comprehension. The
comprehension grade level was .7
grade points above that of college
freshmen throughout the country.

Maryville college began classes in
remedial reading last year, and is one
of the few colleges in the country that
provides such training. The 125 fresh-
men who did twelve hours of remedial
reading last year improved 1.7 years
in reading rate.

Anyone wishing to enroll in a read-
ing class should see Dr. David H.
Briggs.

New Bell Is Oldest Freshie

By Worden Dubois

This year's freshman class is as fresh
and green as ever, but it does have one
distinguished member who is beginn-
ing the first year of higher education
at the age of fifty— the new college
bell. Unannounced and without cere-
money it has taken up its duties this
year and already fills the place of its
predecessor with all the dignity and
regularity its ringers allow.

In 1888 this freshman was born in
the Meneely bell works at Baltimore,
Maryland. It's solemn tone and gentle
manners must have appealed to the
Quaker mind, for it was soon bought
by the Society of Friends in Philadel-
phia and sent to their school here in

Maryville, where it called and dismiss-
ed a little band of scholars for thirty
years.

Then came the war years, and the
school passed into the Hnds of a Mr.
Henry, who had a flair >r fine names.
As a result, both the schoc 1 and the bell
enjoyed the added prestige of operat-
ing under the name of the Maryville
Polytechnic school. This glory was not
to last, however, and soon, under the
auspices of the city of Maryville, it
became just plain High school. And
here, for more years than most of the
freshman class have lived, our bell has
been a faithful public servant.

The completion of the new high

Four hundred and forty students last
Thursday morning signified their in-
tention of purchasing a 1937 Chilhow-
ean. The subscription contracts were
distributed at the chapel service and
collected at the chapel doors. The staff
hopes to get more subscriptions before
the drive closes, for a larger order
will make a better book, according to
Clifford Proctor, business manager of
the annual.

Pay In Installments

The yearbook will be paid for in
three installments made to the staff
representatives. These installments will
fall due on October 14, February 2, and
upon receiving the book. Memorial
and Baldwin subscribers may make
payments to Jean White, in Baldwin;
Pearsons women to Ruth Abercrombie;
and men in Carnegie to Cliff Proctor
or John Fisher; and town students to
Louise Wells. Chilhowean representa-
tives will be outside the treasurer's
office on October 12, 13, and 14 to re-
ceive the down payments.

Holds First Meeting

Editor Otto Pflanze held the first
complete staff meeting Wednesday
evening, at which time work was as-
signed to the five junior associate edi-
tors and their sophomore assistants.
Ruth Abercrombie has been named acti-
vities editor and is assisted by Sue
Stevenson; George Hunt, assisted by
Louise Wells, is feature editor; Russ
Stevenson is sports editor with Phil
Evaul as his assistant; Arlene Phelps
is art editor; and Helen Bewley is fine
arts editor. The other sophomores on
the staff, Jean White, Tom Cragan,
and Charles Baldwin, are assisting the
various Committees in general.

Election of the senior and junior
class sponsors will be held nexi Wed-*
nesday morning after chapel. The class
presidents have appointed committees
to nominate candidates for the honor,
and the list will be posted early in the
week. Sophomores and freshmen will
hold their elections the following week.

Eugene Craine Gives
Baton of Swing Band
To Charles Sullivan

The swing band, sponsored by Alpha
Sigma, has begun preparation for this
year's activities. Gene Craine, past
leader, has turned over the baton to
Charles Sullivan, who will have charge
during the next two years. At present
the band consists of about ten mem-
bers, and it is hoped that this number
will be increased. Although Craine no
longer leads, he remains a feature at-
traction at the drums. Peg Halsey will
supply the vocal numbers.

Alpha Sigma has sponsored a band
for the past seven or eigh(t years. Last
year it entertained at the S & W Cafe-
teria in Knoxville; and its present pro-
gram includes entertainment at the
Lions Club in Maryville, formal din-
ners, and other social events on the
campus. The first public appearance
of the band has not yet been scheduled.

Greatly Missed

During the years that she has been a member of the
faculty, Miss Almira C. Bassett has held a high place in
the estimation of all the students and faculty. Even those
of us who have never had the opportunity of knowing her
as a teacher, have caught the enthusiasm of the students
in her latin and history classes.

Miss Bassett will be greatly missed during the period
of her leave of absence from college duties. She has been
not only one of the most capable members of the teaching
staff, but also one of the most helpful supporters of cam-
pus activities. The YWCA, in particular, has long benefited
from her interest and cooperation, and she has been a
helpful member of the publication committee.

As she leaves the college for a time, to recuperate
from illness, Miss Bassett has the very best wishes of the
entire college personnel.

-O-

Why Not?

The most outstanding thing about East Tennessee, be-
sides its rain, is its mountains. For nine months a year
students gaze at them instead of listening to lectures and
yet comparatively few ever get out into them to enjoy he
beauty that seems so enticing from the depths of "Hamlet's
madness" or the "manifestations of catatomic dementia
praecox."

The YMCA, in carrying out its threefold plan of build-
ing a strong body, mind, and soul, helps to make these
mountains more real to the men of the college by its an-
nual mountain hike — but little opportunity is given to the
women students to share such activities. Would it not be
a good idea to have a hike for the YWCA and give the
women of the college a chance to take home an idea of
the vastness and beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains
as well as the more formal learning of the college?

Of Especial Importance

This week the Highland Echo carries the announcement
of the first meeting of those students interested in trying
out for the varsity and freshman debating teams. This is
of especial importance in view of the reputation that Mary-
ville debaters have built for the college. Every year since
state contests began, Maryville has won and invariably our
teams have gone far in the national contests of Pi Kappa
Delta. Much of this success is due to the tireless effort of
the debate coach, Prof. Verton M. Queener, but most of
the credit goes to those who have worked and studied as
members of the team. This year the debating squad faces
a big task in trying to live up to the reputation of past
teams and the bigger the crowd of students that turns out
and the harder they are willing to work, the better will
be Maryville's chances of carrying on this traditional sup-
eriority of its debating teams.

GRAFTUITIES

Though I'm not penurious,

It makes me quite furious

To think of the tips that I've wasted

For haircuts right curious,

And shoeshines quite spurious

And meals that I've not even tasted.

It's far from hilarious,

And nearer nefarious,

This greasing each palm that appears.

Cab-drivers precarious

And parsons that marry us,

W« must tip, or put up with their jeers.

Tht time is auspicious,

My friends, to be vicious—

Not two quarters to porters, but ■mi.

This manner suspicious

May make them malicious —

So bang on your hot, pals, and RUN.

Life Study of the Development of a Dictator
Three days — make's faces at nurse.

Four weeks— makes grasping gestures toward everything
within reach.

Three months — speaks one or two words, such as "gimme"
or "mine."

Four months — throws rattle out of crib, and cries for
daddy's hunting rifle.

Six months — without detection, removes father's watch
from pocket while parent holds him.
Twelve months — leans over fence in yard and pulls hair
of neighbor child.

Two years — kicks at every child he meets who differs from
him in color of hair, number of teeth, political preferences,
or favorite brand of milk.

Four years — makes other children walk in street when he
approaches.

Five years — appropriates for himself all the blocks in kin-
dergarten, by threatening to bring his big brother next
day.

Six years — forces classmates to carry his books, prepare
his lessons, and buy him gum drops.

Seven years — tells teacher he'll throw a brick through the
the school window unless she gives him "A" in deportment.
Forty-five years — (Note: Peculiarly enough, at about this
age our dictator enters his period of second infancy.)
Forty-six years — makes faces at everyone, indiscriminately.
Forty-seven years — combines the earlier grasping gestures
and vocalized "gimme" with vigorous pulling of hair of
neighbors.
Forty-eight years — ad infinitum.

This column is dedicated first to the freshmen who
are seldom allowed in the stacks, that they may realize
that all good things are not hidden nor inaccessable. Sec-
ond it is dedicated to the sophomores who glory in the
fact that they have reached the age of discretion and may
now be intrusted with stack cards, but who still rather
wonder what the cards are good for. Last it is dedicated
to all upper classmen who have nothing better to do than
to read it. If it fills in two minutes on a Sunday afternoon,
we will consider it thoroughly worth while.

• * * •

Those of us who were here last year can appreciate
the way in which the reading room collection has grown.
Miss Fortner was heard to say the other day that this
collection is to show the undergraduate that all interesting
books are not necessarily novels. This is doubtless to keep
the freshman from all becoming English majors. However,
the first two shelves to the left of the desk are filled with
a miscellaneous collection of non-technical, non-fiction
books. These are interesting books on various subjects; for
specialized works, you will have to see the attendant. It
is a collection well worth going through on a dull after-
noon.

* • • •

We are not going to attempt to review books in this
column, but we would like to mention from time to time
various new and old reading materials which we have in
the libarary, and to answer at least some of tl)e Queener-
ish questions concerning them ,such as size, colpr, number
of pages and such essential data. Since we have just been
hearing history, perhaps two of the histories would in-
terest us most. Both are on the reading room shelf, and
both are numbered 909.

"The Post-War World" by J. Hampden Jackson is one
of the most readable histories we have seen. It was pub-
lished in 1935, and carries on from where Mr. Grant had
to stop at the 11:15 bell Monday. Besides discussing the
effects of the War treaties on Europe, Mr. Jackson has
taken the other continents, and described the post war
events in each country. He handles his history authenti-
cally and authoritatively, and yet manages to do away with
the text-book odor. His aim is "to make Post-War Europe
intelligible to the newspaper reading man," and though
you may never read anything but Joe Palooka, we are
sure that you will find it interesting. It is a blue book of
415 pages.

"The World since 1914" by Walter Consuelo Langsan
we would not recommend so indiscriminately. In the first
place it is green and 791 pages long, and in the second it
reminded us rather of history class. However, we realize
that it is by far the more valuable of the two works for
the student. It takes in the story of the war, the signing
of the treaties, and then the results of the treaties in the
world since the war. It was published in 1936, and the style
is lucid, but so detailed as to scarcely make it enjoyable
reading.

YM Advisory Board
Has First Meeting

The first meeting of the YMCA Ad-
visory Board was held Tuesday even-
ing in the "Y" office. The programs of
the various committees for the year
were approved, and the budget for the
year was adopted.

The Advisory Board is a committee
composed of faculty and students
which oversee the business and pro-
gram of the YMCA. This year Dr. H.
E. Orr is chairman of the board, and
the other faculty members are Dr.
Frank D. McClelland, Treasurer Fred
L. Proffitt, President Ralph W. Lloyd,
Professor L. L. Williams, and Associate
Professor Raymond Dollenmayer. The
class representatives are Fred Rhody,
Warren Ashby, and Frank Brink, with
the president and the secretary of the
"Y" serving ex officio.

The two new pieces of furniture
which complete the set in the "Y"
reading room arrived Thursday. Dur-
ing the year it is planned to further
improve the facilities of this room.

continent. It was especially success-
ful in Berlin, where Adolph Hitler
saw it three times.

In 1935 the play came to London,
where it ran for over a year to capa-
city crowds at Plymouth theatre, and
won the wholehearted praise of the
Royal family. Strange to say, it has
never found its way into Russia.

In America it was given wide ac-
claim both on stage and screen. Said
the New York Post, this is "the most
delightful play New York has had a
chance to enjoy in many a blue moon."
"A smash hit," said the New York Tri-
bune. "A thoroughly delightful and
vastly heart-warming comedy," said
the Herald; and The News, "A three
year success in Europe. Twenty-four
capitals have given it cheering wel-
come." The English text is by Robert
E. Sherwood.

"Tovarich" was presented for the
first time, in Paris, in October, 1933.
The author did not think much of the
play, being interested in a tragedy he
was writing, and put it into rehearsals
before he had even decided how the
last scene should end. Written as a
farce about Russian emigres, Deval
expected it only to be appreciated by
Parisians familiar with the subject.
However, performance has more than
proved its worth.

Miss Louise Proffitt will speak to
the men at a brief YMCA meeting in
Bartlett hall tomorrow afternoon at
5. She will give the same talk that she
gave to the YWCA: "Thy Kingdom
Come, but Not Now." It has not been
the custom to hold a service on the
afternoons of the YMCA hikes in past
years, but the program committee feels
that enough men remain on the campus
to justify holding a meeting here as
well as on the mountain.

INJURY JINX—

The injury jinx continued to hit the Maryville squad,
when it was found out that Obie Jenkins, . regular left
guard on the Scotty line, will be out for a couple of weeks
with a cracked rib. Jenkins received the injury when we
played Kentucky, but had been playing right along with
the sore rib. This is the second serious loss to our already
none too strong line. Gene McCurry being the other.
Gene will probably be back sometime around October 19,
at least that is when he will be able to remove the cast
from his ankle. Whether or not he will be able to play
immediately is of course doubtful.
IDLE TALK—

Still talking about the Kentucky game in reading
over the University paper last night we came across the
story of the Maryville-Kentucky game. According to the
Kentucky Kernel, the 'Cats mauled all over an inferior
team from Maryville How unkind, but then we got
some consolation in thinking of the game Oglethorpe tried
to put up against the same team. In case any of you hadn't
heard, Kentucky really whitewashed Oglethorpe 66-0.
That doesn't make us look so bad, nor need we feel slight-
ed either.

In the same column the sports editor paid us the com-
pliment of telling us that we had a good passing team.
Need he tell us what about that old sleeper-pass?. .
Besides that we completed eight out of 17 attempts via the
air route.

one in the conference has been able to stop him.

Athenians And
Alpha Sigmas To
Clash On Grid

The annual battle of the Athenian
and Alpha Sig literary socieities as far
as tough football is concerned, will be
fought sometime next week on the
practice field. Traditionally a genuine
football game, due to the insufficient
equipment and probable injuries, the
conflict has been changed for the past
three years to the faster and more in-
teresting game of touchfootball. The
Alpha Sigmas hold the edge on the
series, having won two to the Ath-
enians one.

Stephen "Jeep" Amos, the Alpha Sig
manager and challenger, announced
Thursday that the Alpha Sig eleven
was nearly in shape, but would feel the
loss of Ace Parker and Russ Colombo,
who starred for the winning Sigs last
year. The Alpha Sigma backfield will
probably consist of McCaskie, the red
topped bullet, Chuck Kindred, Jim-
my Rich and Frank Morrow. "Shorty"
Etheredge will be the star end for the
Sigmas (they hope).

With the loss of spark plug Don
Born, Athenian hopes lie chiefly in
Weldon Baird, Fred "Glue Fingers"
Rhody, Russ Stevenson and Cilff Prop-
tor. Plenty of freshmen will probably
see lots of service too.

The game is usually played in the
rain, last year it was played in six
inches of water and mud. Unless oth-
erwise announced, the boys will con-
tinue in the custom and will play in
the first storm next week.

Women Begin Work
On Point System

Seventy-six women have signed up
for point system for 1938-39, accord-
ing to Hazel Eddins, this year's direc-
tor of the program. Forty of this num-
ber are freshmen, seventeen are soph-
omores, and nineteen are juniors and
seniors. The first meeting of the group
was held Tuesday afternoon, at which
time the girls were given the rules and
out door exercise slips.

-Point system is the official athletic
program for women. Five hundred
points are needed to be awarded a
sweater, four hundred to receive an
M, and three hundred for an MC. These
points are earned in various ways, a
certain number being awarded for
scholastic achievements, participation
in individual and group sports, observ-
ing of health rules, and hikes around
the seven-mile loop.

The three different groups meet at
stated times every Tuesday and Thurs-
day afternoons. The freshmen meet
from 3 to 3:45, the sophomores from
3:45 to 4:30, and tbje junior-seniors
from 4:30 to 5:15. Practice began on
Thursday with soccer, the first sport
to be on this year's program. The rules
followed have been especially adopted
for an indoor gym; and after several
weeks of practice, the first game will
be between the junior-senior and
sophomore teams on October 27.

Two costly fumbles and three par-
tially blocked kicks combined last
night to slide the Milligan Buffaloes
right out of the Smoky Mountain pic-
ture as the Highlanders played heads
up football in a 15-0 victory over their
second conference opponent.

Both teams exhibited a ragged style
of play at times, but when the chips
were down, whenever a loose ball
bounced out of the pileup, the Scots
were the better team; they took ad-
vantage of every break, made several
of those breaks themselves, and rode
in to a well-deserved triumph.

The Buffaloes were tough, too. Even
after Burton's fumble led to a Mary-
ville touchdown in the opening minutes
they never let up. This same Burton
was stopped on the Scot 25 after a 30
yard sprint, just as the whistle blew
to end the first half. It was Milligan's
only real scoring threat.

The second half was the same story
as the first, with Scottie Honaker and
George Garner shoving the Buffs back
with coffin-corner kicks. Half a doz-
en times the Milligan team found it-
self backed up against the goal line
by George and Scott.

The first break of the contest came
when Burton, driving at the Scottie
line on the first play after the open-
ing kickoff, saw the ball bounce out
of his grasp and into the protecting
arms of Harold Burns on the Buff 25
yard stripe.

From there the Scotties rolled ac-
ross. Hughes ,his usual battering-ram
self, made eight at right tackle. Hunt
made it first down on the seventeen.
Garner reeled off four, and it was
Hughes again at right end for another
first down. And again at tackle, this
time for no gain. Twice more the Buff-
aloe forwards held firm before their
tackle gave way under the pounding
and Hughes drove over for the first
score.

His placement was right down the
middle for a 7-0 lead.

From there on till the half the game
see-sawed from one end of the grid to
the other. Garner held a slight edge
on Burton most of the time on punts.
The Buff halfback was being rushed
on every play. This didn't soothe his
ruffled nerves. He waited only until
the opening of the third frame to but-
ter-finger another one. This time it
wasn't fatal. Not yet. Maryville re-
covered and Garner sliced one out of
bounds on the four yard line. It was
on the next play that Burton, standing
in his end zone, juggled the pass from
center and was smashed in his tracks
by Tom Taylor and Arnold Kramer.

The resulting two points made it 9-0,
Maryville.

It also made the Buffaloes mad. They

woke up and drove down to the Mary-
ville twenty-five before the fumble-
bug bit again. This time it was James
Etheredge, "Cousin Joe" himself, who
fought the ball out of the pile and sav-
ed the Scots from a very serious sit-
uation. The Milligan backs were show-
ing all their vaunted speed and slight
of hand on this drive.

They never had a chance to show
it again. With Tipton slapping punts
down the kicker's throat, and Wilburn,
Kramer, Taylor and the rest of the
boys stacking every attempt at the line,
it was just not Milligan night.

The next offensive was launched by
the Honakermen. It started auspic-
iously when Scot Honaker and J. D.
Hughes made connections on a lay-
out pass for a fifty yard gain. The ball
was hauled back from the goal line,
however, and the Scots penalized five
for offsides.

That didn't stop the Scotties long.
Garner again found the corner and
kicked out on the five. Milligan's at-
tempt to kick out of danger was again
messed up. The kicker was rushed, the
ball glanced off a Scot linesman's
hands, and was recovered on the 23.
An eleven yard jaunt by "High School"
Hughes and a five yard penalty placed
it on the seven.

Three smashes, Hughes handling the
ball each time, finally netted a first
down on the one yard strip.

Running from spread formation,
Honaker sneaked over on second down.
This time the attempted conversion
was low and the score remained 15-0,
despite Milligan's last minute efforts.

It was Maryville's second Smoky
loop win and kept their undefeated re-
cord against Milligan unspotted.

The Scots are not at their peak yet
by any means. They made plenty mis-

Next Friday night the Tennessee
Wesleyan Bulldogs will be at Mary-

two weeks ago by the score of 19-6.

The last time the Bulldogs came to
Maryville, they whitewashed Maryville
40-6. Tennessee Wesleyan is not a

ference, being a junior college. How-

Srs., Frosh Open
Y Touch Football
Season Wednesday

Interclass football, sponsored by the
YMCA, is hitting a new high this year
with the seniors and the freshies meet-
ing in the first fracas next Wednes-
day.

Defending the honor of the class of
'39 will be such stars as "Red" Mc-
Caskie, "Bruiser" Jussely, Jimmy Rich,
Gene Craine, and Bob Martin. The
senior line will be built around Jusse-
ly at tackle, Martin at guard, and Fred
Rhody at end. The seniors won the
championship last year, and are heavy
favorites to repeat this year.

The Juniors, who were runners-up
last year, have "Shorty" T. Etheredge
to catch those slippery passes. Clifford
Proctor to hold that line, and Dick
Woodring to sling passes.

Art Peterson will lead a great soph-
omore aggregation into the league. The
eleven will have as a nucleus Jim Mil-
ler, Van Blarcom, Gordon "Flash"
Findley, Puncheon, Hulse, and Vernon
"Red" Lloyd.

The Frosh are unorganized and in-
experienced but may develop into a
late season upset. There will be some
good games played this fall with so
much fine material and so much inter-
est in the league this year. The Sen-
iors are pre-season favorites but the
Juniors and Sophs rank high, and be-
yond a doubt there will be some up-
sets before the season is over.

INTERCLASS
SCHEDULE

The YMCA intramural tennis toun-
nament has finally reached the finals
after many hard fought matches. Most
of the matches have run true to form
with one exception, that being Steven-
son vs. Morgan encounter. Steven-
son was one of the four seeded play-
ers, but was defeated by a close 7-5,
3-6, 6-4 score.

The two finalists are Frank Mor-
row and Ken Van Cise. Morrow had
to defeat Bruce Morgan in the semi-
finals 6-4, 6-3. He previously had
whipped Whitaker 6-2, 6-0 in the
quarter finals.. Morrow has had little
trouble in reaching the finals, and is
also expected to have an easy time
with Van Cise in their match today.

Van Cise reached the final bracket
by handing Paul Akana a 6-2; 6-1, de-
feat. Akana, was seeded number three
in the tournament. Van Cise ran thru
the semi-finals by whipping Haelzer
6-1, 6-3.

The only doubles team to reach the
finals yet is the Morrow-Van Cise
combination. In the quarter finals they
easily breezed over Webster and Felk-
nor 6-0, 6-0. In the semi-finals they
took over Castrock and Whitaker 6-2,
6-0. Gastrock and Whitaker had whip-
ped the Morgan and Proctor doubles
team 8-6, 5-7, 6-3 in one of the longest
matches of the tournament to reach
the semi-finals.

the doubles tennis tournament for
women which is being sponsored by
the YWCA. Forty-eight women have
entered and the playing began Fri-
day. It is hoped that the first round will
be played off as soon as possible while
the weather is still fair.

The women's singles tournament was
supposed to close its first round by
Thursday, but as yet some of these
matches have not been played off.

College Maid Shop
Has Been Success

By Katherine Gunnels

"The College Maid shop was really
just an overgrown offspring of the
home economics department," said Mrs.
Katherine Romig McMurry who found-
ed the shop eighteen years ago. Today,
it is an industry in its own right,
known throughout the United States,
imitated, admired, and respected— and
what the Maid Shop has become is
chiefly due to the unselfish and per-
sistent work of Mrs. McMurry.

Started in 1920 in a poorly equipped
room in Fayerweather Science hall, the
shop today it well equipped and mod-
ern. Its original ten machines have
grown to forty-four and in addition it
is equipped with two cutting machines,
a button-holing machine and a mach-
ine for making covered button.

Fifty girls are employed throughout
the sammer and many more are given
steady work during the school year.

The College Maid shop, originated to
give girl* a chance to work their way
through college, still holds its same
purpose though it is many times en-
larged. At the present moment the
shop has more orders than it can fill,
including 840 nurses uniforms, 660 null
uniforms and numbers of choir robes
and gym suits.

Too few students who do not come
into contact with the Maid shop realize
the opportunity for pleasant, profitable
work it offers to the college students.
To quote one of the women working in
the shop, "Mrs. McMurry is cheerful
and gay, and despite doing the work of
ten people, is never too busy to greet
visitors and show them through the
shop."

When asked the future of the shop,
Mrs. McMurry smiled, and shrugging
her shoulders in a way that is charac-
teristic of her replied, "Who knows,
except that we are going on just as we
are— and we must figure out some
way to take care of all these orders
that are swamping us."

Mrs. McTeer Will Give
Two Demonstrations

Mrs. Minnie Eldridge McTeer,
canning expert, will give de-
monstrations in the home eco-
nomics kitchens on Wednesday,
October 12, at 10:20 and again
at 1:10. Several methods of can-
ning in glass will be discussed
at these periods.

Formerly at the University of
Tennessee and Columbia uni-
versity, Mrs. McTeer Is now
taking several courses as a
special student at Maryville col-
lege. As demonstration agent for
the Ball Jar Company, she has
traveled extensively in the south
and west. During the past sum-
mer she lectured in various uni-
versities, colleges and clubs in
the southern states.

All students who are interest-
ed in the subject of canning are
invited to attend these demon-
strations.

Work in progress on the campus this
week has been of a very general na-
ture according to Mr. E. C. Brown,
{college engineer. It has included the
grading of the new waiks, the recon-
ditioning of the golf course, and the
preparation of the site of the new
power house. The garage now occupy-
ing the intended spot is in process of
demolition.

The Bird Walk which Dr. Knapp led
last Sunday morning began at sunrise
and lasted for about an hour and a
half, the hikers going out through the
college woods and into the neighbor-
ing fields. The party was composed of
sixteen people, and despite the heavy
foliage they succeeded hi identifying
starlings, robins, sparrows, bluebirds,
flickers, and several varieities of wood-
peckers.

Peppy Pep Meeting
Held On Thursday

A greatly improved group of cheer-
leaders gave Maryville its peppiest pep
meeting of the year last Thursday night
on Wilson Field, where a large group
of students told Frank Brink they
were with him.

Over the public address system,
Glenn Young gave a brief history of
Maryville-Milligan football results
during the past few years, which show-
ed that Maryville had the upper hand,
although, only by a serks of hard-
fought battles.

Music by the college band, introduc-
tion of the new yells, and the new
swing pep song made up the rest of
the program.

The meeting was concluded by the
singing of the Alma Mater.

Grant Gives Lectures

(Cont. from Page One)
he talked of the symbolically bound
Commonwealth of Nations, and the re-
mainder of the empire which com-
poses the greatest conglomeration of
governments and systems existing in
the world today. In a forum discussion,
with which he closed several of his
lectures, he qualified his earlier state-
ment concerning the prospects for
peace by saying that there remains
the opportunity for Britain and France,
with the help of the United States, to
attempt to turn Hitler away from the
use of the power technique and to re-
turn to the collective policy. Through-
out the entire series of lectures Mr.
Grant stressed the fact that the issue
today in the conduct of international
developments is between power policy,
illustrated by Germany, Italy, and
Japan, and collective policy, as shown
in such countries as France, Great Bri-
tain and the United States.

The subject of Dr. Stevenson's ad-
dress for vespers Sunday night will be
"Called to Service." Mr. Colbert has
chosen the Cherubim song No. 7. by
Bortniansky as the choir's offering.

Chairman Gives
Details of Work
By Eight Seniors

Senior Students Are Doing

Honors Work in Six

Departments

Eight seniors, including Bruce Mor-
gan, Robert Brandriff, William Alston,
Wilbert Looloian, Ivan Elder, Knox
Coit, William McGill, and Etta Cul-
bertson, are doing honors work in six
different departments, according to an
) announcement made by Dr. E. R. Hun-
ter, chairman of the honors work com-
mittee.

Morgan and Brandriff are both work-
ing in the English department under
Dr. Hill Shine and Dr. Hunter. Mor-
gan has as his subject "The Philosophy
of Thomas Hardy"; while Brandriff is
making a study of Ben Jonson.

Two students, Alston and Looloian,
I are in the biology field under Dr. Su-
san A. Green. They are studying "Pro-
tozoology" and "Histology", respective-
ly.

Elder is working under Professor
I George Howell in chemistry on "Spot
Tests in Qualitative Analysis."

"Scholastic Philosophy", particularly
that of St. Thomas Aquinas, is the
topic of Coit's research in the field of
philosophy under the guidance of Dr.
Horace E. Orr.

McGill is studying, in the depart-
• ments of psychology and education,
"The Democratic Philosophy of Educa-
tion in a Liberal Arts College." Dr.
Newell T. Preston, associate professor
in the two departments, is McGill's
faculty advisor.

Miss Culbertson is in the French de-
* partment under Miss Margaret Wilk-
inson making an examination of Bal-
zac's "Comedie Humaine."

As in other years, the eight honors
work students for 1938-39 are those
who have made a high enough scho-
lastic record in their major subject to
warrant them to make a research of
some particular branch of that subject.
, The work will not be completed until
a few weeks before graduation next
May.

Elect New Members,
Set Date For Trial
At Law Club Meeting

*

Fourteen new members were elected
into the Law club last Wednesday
evening at the regular bi-monthly
meeting held in Athenian hall. New
members were H. F. Lamon, Jimmy
Rich, J. N. Badgett, A. B. Waggoner,
Edgar Meares, Otto Pflanze, James
* Montgomery, Thomas Stahl, Ralph
Thompson, Francis McGaha, Hilton
Wick, Horace Justus, Henry Wick,
and Betty Jean Felix.

After the new members had been
welcomed by president Hugh Smith, a
lengthy discussion of business was
taken up by the club. Plans for a club
pin were submitted and bids consid-
ered and approved by the club. Con-
sideration was given the club space in
the 1939 Chilhowean, but no definite
conclusion was reached. Plans for a
mock trial were made by the club, and
a tentative date set for the hearing of
the first case. Counsels were appointed
for the defense and the attorneys nam-
ed to represent the state.

Following the business session, Tom-
my Woolf and Horace Brown gave talks
on their travels through Europe this
summer. The subject of their talks
was "European Law, from the Inside
Out." Brown and Woolf gave firsthand
information as to the operation of the
law in Europe today. Brown particular-
ily seemed impressed by its efficiency.

Miller of Journal
Will Address Drama
Group Tuesday at 7

Malcolm Miller, well known drama-
tic critic for the Knoxville Journal,
and director of the University of Ten-
nessee Playhouse, will be guest speaker
at the Hamlet group discussions Tues-
day night at 7:00 in Thaw hall, it was
announced today. He will be accom-
panied by seven members of the Play-
house.

Mr. Miller has witnessed many per-
formances of Hamlet, among them
those of Howard, Hampton, Mantelle,
and Gielgud. He will compare these
productions for the benefit of the
group, Tuesday night.

This will be the third in a series of
meetings held in preparation for the
production of the Shakespearean play
by the senior class on May 27, 1939. At
the meeting last Tuesday evening, Dr.
Hill Shine addressed the group on the
general staging of the play during the
Elizabethan era, giving summaries of
the scenes and suggestions as to their
staging. An open forum discussion fol-
lowed.

The play is a project of the senior
class, and as much of the responsibi-
lity for its preparation and production
as possible, is being taken by them. Un-
der the direction of William McGill,
producton manager, they will be in
charge of all script cutting, staging and
costuming. Dr. Hunter is the chief
faculty adviser, and Dr. Hill Shine,
technical adviser. Miss Meiselwitz,
head of the department of Home eco-
nomics, will direct the costuming. The
play will be under the direction of Mrs.
Nita E. West.

"M" Club Leaves
For Hike to Mt.

Athletic Group Goes For

Week-end Trip To

Look Rock

Twelve members of the M club, fol-
lowed by a car full of provisions and
blankets, left this afternoon at one
o'clock for a twelve-mile hike to Look
Rock, where they will cook supper and
sleep in the open. They are taking Prof,
and Mrs. Queener as chaperons, and a
twenty-two rifle in case of bears. A
worship service will be held tomorrow
morning, and the entire group will re-
turn in time for dinner.

The hike was planned at the first
regular meeting of the M club, which
was held Tuesday night in the Y rooms.
At that time, the president appointed
Lynn Tyndall, Dorothy Quass, Cath-
erine Davidson, and Catherine Pond
as a committee to make further plans
concerning the outing.

Several plans for the year were
made at the meeting. Virginia Part-
ridge was appointed chairman of a
committee to raise money for obtaining
new uniforms for sophomore members
of the point system. Betsy Gaultney
was appointed chairman of a committee
to sponsor an aerial dart tournament.

The officers of the M club this year

ry, vice president; Mary Darden, sec-
retary; and Dorothy Quass, treasurer

Juniors, Seniors

Contracts Signed For Pages
In 1939 Yearbook

The senior and junior classes, meet-
ing Wednesday morning in Voorhees
chapel and Bartlett hall, elected the
sponsors of their classes for the 1939
Chilhowean. Nominations for the sen-
ior class sponsor included Hazel Eddins,
Virginia Partridge, Marguerite Justus,
Curtmarie Brown, Zula Vance, Cather-
ine Pond and Ernestine Foulke. Junior
class nominees were Helen Bewley,
Ruth Woods, Patricia Kennedy, Louise

of the yearbook in the spring.

At the meetings Wednesday morning,
each class contracted for two pages in
the annual. One page will make up a
snapshot feature section; and the other,
bearing a group picture of the class,,
officers and the picture of the class
sponsor, will serve as the opening div-
isional page for the class sections.

Other contracts signed this week
for space in the yearbook included Y

pages; ministerial association, doubling
last year's contract, one page; "M*

Homecoming Day
To Be Observed
On October 28

Lenoir-Rhyne Ball Game

And Barbecue Supper

Are On Program

Annual Homecoming day will be ob-
served on Friday, October 28 this year.
This date was picked especially be-
cause it coincides with the meeting of
the East Tennessee Teacher's associa-
tion in Knoxville, where it is expect-
ed a large number of Maryville almuni
will be present.

Registration of almuni and faculty
will begin at 5 p.m. in the Alumni gym,
and a barbecue supper on the baseball
field at 5:30 is planned. After supper
there will be a program in the gym, and
the football game with Lenoir-Rhyne
will top the evening's entertainment.
The game promises to be one of the
best of the year, since Maryville lost
0-2 in '36, and last year fought to a
scoreless tie. Supper will be served free
of charge, and the alumni will be given
reduced rates to the game.

Saturday will be Founder's day. This
is the fifth year in which an important
person in the history of the college will
be honored. There will be a visiting
speaker, and a program for the almuni.

Freshmen Study
Use Of Library

Approximately 300 copies of "How
to Use the Library," by Martha S. and
Edward F. Rowse were distributed to
the freshmen in their regular orienta-
tion guidance groups on Wednesday
morning. The book is a concise treat-
ment of the scope and purpose of the
library with special emphasis on the
bibliographical method. Included are
explanations of the Dewey decimal
system, the relation between a book's
index and the card catalog, and the ar-
rangement and special usefulness of
the various dictionaries, encyclopae-
dias, almanacs, and yearbooks.

Pasted on the inside cover of the
books given to the freshmen was a
page of rules and regulations pertain-
ing specifically to this college library.
Because of the nature of the book,
the freshmen were advised to preserve
their copies throughout their four years
here, as its usefulness will become more
apparent as their studies progress.

THETAS INITIATE FBOSH

Theta Epsilon will have an informal
meeting tonight. Initiation of new
members will be held on October 22.

Actual motives behind the foreign
policies of three world powers will be
completely exposed and laid bare be-
fore the eyes of a Peace Forum audi-
ence Friday evening at 6:45 in Thaw
hall auditorium. In a novel program
arranged by the Forum executive
council six speakers will take part;
three will put forth the foreign poli-
cies of Germany, Russia, and the Unit-
ed States as presented through the
mouths of their executives, and three
others the hidden motives behind these
official pronouncements.

The three speakers who will present
the speeches and official messages of
Hitler, Stalin, and Roosevelt are Clif-
ford Proctor, Harriet Miller, and Tom-
my Woolf. Their "ghosts" who will
literally take their speeches apart and
reveal their innermost motives are
Bruce Morgan, Louise Proffitt, and
George Webster.

The program has been arranged in
the form of a conference between re-
presentatives of the three powers. The
speakers will sit around a table and
present their views, while members of
the audience will be given the privilege
of sitting in and having revealed to
them the machinations of diplomacy.

Forum officials have announced that
this "exposure" program is the second
in a series of programs the purpose of
which is to educate college youth in
world affairs with the idea of promot-
ing the cause of peace. The first pro-
gram was an address by former con-

The Glee clubs, which rehearse joint-
ly, under the direction of Mr. Ralph
R. Colbert, instructor of music, had
their first meeting Thursday night. Re-
hearsals for the "Messiah," to be pre-
sented at Christmas time, will begin
next week.

The brilliance of last night's foot-
ball game was further enhanced by the
appearance of the honorable Gordon
Browning, Governor of Tennessee. He
came as the guest of a committee of
Maryville citizens who met him at the
airport yesterday and entertained him
at dinner before the game.

Between the halves the Maryville
college band played the governor's
alma mater and the band sponsor, Lois
Barnwell, pinned a flower from her
bouquet on his lapel. Maryville cheer-
leaders led fifteen rah's for Governor
Browning.

The Governor arrived from Nash-
ville yesterday as the only passenger
in an army plane piloted by First Lt.
W. G. Catron of the 105 Observation
Squadron. The trip was made in an
hour.

At the airport Governor Browning
was met by a committee from Mary-
ville, composed of D. W. Proffitt, J. C.
Gillespie, Frank McNutt, and Stave
Jett. St*1*

When Drum Major Dick Woodring
asked the governor to pose for a pic-

quired if the little girl who pinned the
flower on his coat would be back.

When assured that Miss Barnwell
would return the governor added,
"Well, bring her along and you can
have anything you want."

Debaters Begin
Work On Tuesday

Twenty-eight men and women re-
ported for varsity debate class last
Tuesday evening in Professor Queen-
er's classroom. Of this number, nine
have been members of the varsity
squad in the past.

Following the usual schedule, the
class will meet on Tuesday evenings
from 7:00—8:00 and on Wednesday
afternoons at "e" period. Speeches for
next Tuesday evening will be given "by
Curtmarie Brown, Louise Proffitt,
Otto Pflanze, Arnold Kramer, Clifford
Proctor, and Sara Lee Heliums, with
Warren Ashby acting as chairman, and
Arda Walker, secretary. The subjects
are based on the debate question, "Re-
solved: That the government should
cease spending public funds for the
stimulation of business."

The Tuesday evening class will be
conducted by Miss Grace Graham Prof-
fitt, a graduate of Maryville. Miss
Proffitt, daughter of Treasurer and Mrs.
Fred Proffitt, was a member of the var-
sity debate squad and a representative
of the local chapter of Pi Kappa Delta,
national forensic fraternity, to the na-
tional contest while a student here.
Professor Queener will continue to
conduct the Wednesday afternoon class
of the advanced speech class.

Present plans call for the consruc-
tion of a new entrance on the west side
of the campus at the corduroy, uni-
form with the two now in use. It will
have a width of twenty-four feet,
which is the same as the Court Street
entrance. Locations for the posts will
be staked out the first of next week,
and work will then be started on the
cement footings. It will require about
thirty days for the stone blocks and
caps to be carved out.

Work is progressing satisfactorily on
the grading of the site for the new
power plant. The exact location of the
power house and foundations for the
boilers will be staked out the first of
the week. Contract for building the
smokestack has been let to the Al-
phons Custodis Chimney Construction
Company, specialists in the building of
large smokestacks and chimneys. Ac-
cording to the contract, the smokestack
will be round, with a total height of one
hundred and fifty feet. The outside
diameter at the base will be thirteen
feet and four inches, while the outside
diameter at the top will be five feet
and three inches. The approximate
weight of the smokestack above the
foundation is estimated to exceed two
hundred and twenty-three tons, all of
which contribute toward making the
new power plant quite an undertak-
ing.

The old score board at the football
field has been taken down and is being
re-built, and new numbers are being
made. This score board, supplemented
by the public address system, is a val-
uable aid in keeping the fans informed
as to the progress of the games. Due
to the loss of the numbers and its gen-
eral rundown condition, the board has
not been used this season, but is ex-
pected to be ready for use at the home-
coming game.

Salzburg Choir
To Open Series
November First

Reserved Seats To Be Sold

On Wednesday Morning

After Chapel

This year's Maryville college Artist
series will open on the evening of Nov-
ember 1, with the appearance of the
famous Salzburg Trapp choir in Voor-
hees chapel at 8:15. Reserved seats for
the concert will be placed on sale
immediately after the chapel service
Wednesday morning.

This unique group of eight young
artists, the wife, two sons and five dau-
ghters of Count George von Trapp, form
a vocal and instrumental ensemble
that has won the acclaim of the sev-
erest critics in England and on the
continent. Beginning as an informal
family group singing for their own en-
tertainment, they were discovered by
Lotte Lehman, whose enthusiasm and
endorsement led them to attempt a
concert tour. Their excellence attract-
ed the attention of Dr. Franz Wasner,
distinguished German organist and
director. Under his leadership they
have won every important European
singing competition within the last
four years and this season make their
American debut.

Play Block Flutes

The Choir is composed of four
sopranos, two contraltos, a tenor and a
bass, and their repetoire includes
a-capella works from the fifteenth cen-
tury to the present day. In addition
they also program several numbers on
"block flutes," five-hundred-year-old
forerunners of the modern woodwind
instruments. The revival of this old-
time instrument is entirely due to the
efforts of the members of the choir,
and they are the only persons who per-
form on them professionally today.

The group has just completed a con-
cert tour of Italy during which they
gave performances in Milan, Turin,
Rome, Assissi, Peruga and Florence,
completely winning the heart of that
musical people. While in Rome they
gave a concert for the Crown Princess
and another private audition for Mus-
solini in his office in the Palazzeo
Venetia. II Duce, when he learned of
the forthcoming tour to America said,
"You are sure to have a great success
in the United States." In the preceding
four months the ensemble enjoyed re-
peated .successes in France, Belgium,
Holland, Austria and England. When
the Duke of Windsor visited Salzburg
as King Edward VIII, the musical pro-
gram that impressed him most was
the recital of the Salzburg Trapp choir
that was given in his honor. He invit-
ed them to sing for him in London,
and when he returned to Austria a
year later they sang for him again.

Has Large Repetoire

For their programs the choir draws
from a repetoire of over five hundred
selections, and long experience from
many appearances all over Europe has
resulted in a concert formula of wide
appeal and fine music. In general the
program is divided into three sections.
The first consisting of a-capella choral
works, the second of "block flute"
numbers, and the third of the native
folk music of their own Austrian home-
land.

Especially noted for their sympa-
thetic interpretation of the music of
Bach, Handel, Monteverdi and Di Las-
so, the choir is equally proficient in
the presentation of the lieder of the
Salzburg masters Mozart, Schubert,
and Brahms.

The ancient flutes on which the octet
play are interesting from an historical
as well as a musical point of view. The
instruments, which were popular in
the church and home of the sixteenth
century, produce a quaint, organ-like
sound beyond the reach of any modern
instrument. The music which will be
performed on these instruments will
be the pavanes, canons, chorales, mar-
ches and polonaises of the composers
of the same period.

In conclusion the young singers will
appear in the costume to reproduce the
songs and mountain calls of their native
Salzburg. These melodic and carefree
songs and yodels are the pastoral music
of the German people. A large number
of those sung by the Salzburg choir are
unknown to other singing groups, the
Trapp family having gathered them
from goatherds and shepherds of the
surrounding country.

From Miss Molly

Editor of the Highland Echo-
Dear Sir:

May I express through your paper, to the Faculty and
staff of Maryville College my sincere appreciation for the
very kind reception tendered me at the Faculty Club din-
ner Monday evening celebrating my 75th birthday anni-
versary.

President Lloyd's very gracious paper giving a sketch
of my life as it related to the college was a breathtaking
surprise to me. This unexpected tribute swept me off my
feet and out of my mind for the time being, and not being
by nature or practice, an impromptu speaker, I was dumb,
so I wish now to express my sincere thanks to all who con-
tributed in any way to the very happy occasion. The books
you gave, which I have wanted but could not afford, will
be read with added pleasure because of the source from
which they came. Gifts that come from home folks have
a peculiar significence. Maryville College will always be
home to me for home is where the heart is.
Very sincerely yours,

Mary E. Caldwell

Sorry, we're afraid your guess was just a wee bit
wrong. This column positively cannot promise to
print EVERYTHING we find in the wastebasket. In fact,
it makes no promises at all, and has no party platform.
It will at all times endeavor to remain non-sectarian, non-
orthodox, non-partisan, non-educational, non-classifiable,
non- apprehensible, non-apologetic, and nonsensical. It ab-
solutely does not ask for donations, love-offerings, or gifts
of any sort. However, all advice, criticisms, suggestions,
and comments will be carefully filed for future reference
and will doubtless end up, as usual, here in The Waste-
basket. This column is merely an ingenuous way of putting
the blame for all useful junk on one poor sucker's should-
ers. We are certain that if we could have forseen the many
odd jobs that fall to Chief-cook-and-bottle-washer-getter-
outer-and-putter awayer-cleaner-upper and runner-after
-taker-and-liker-of-what's dished-outer, the office boy,
we should have chosen another career.

Seems "Colbert's Ragtime Band" was some stuff in the
parade yesterday. Did our favorite swing tune up in fine
style and it looks as if we shall live to see friend Rhody's
prophecy come true. A swing band is the stuff, but please
don't turn the team into jitterbugs until we are graduated,
because we think football is complicated enough, rough
enough, entertaining enough, and exciting in its present
form. Nice goin' Friday, Scotties.

Requests of the week include an urgent one or two
for another community sing, even if we have to call upon
one of the red-haired footlights of Saturday night's dram-
mer to take the part of the moon. We found laughing un-

pulled in two (well, practically) in a snake dance, burst-
ing your lungs with sentimental whinings beneath the
light of the moon, tra la, and running home in cold, crisp
air an ideal recipe for a good night's sleep. Leader Dick
Woodring put his whole heart into it, as he does in every-
thing, including "Lord I Want to Be More Loving' at Glee

We never get you into anything without doing our
deadliest to drag you out again in one piece, so here's
how to recover from that good night's sleep. Invest in the

EX L1BRIS

Da JOHN FISHER

One of the more interesting features of the library is
the absentmindedness of some upper classmen. Warren
Ashby asked for a book the other day. After searching for
about ten minutes, in desperation, the attendant looked in
the cardfile. Ashby leaned across the desk threatening
physical violence to the man who had the book out. Final-
ly the attendant showed him the card and the name on it
was that of Warren Ashby.

And we parallel this with one of Bruce Morgan's dis-
coveries. We found him roaming disconsolately about the
library the other morning, wondering what class he had the
next period. Then he noticed that he was carrying a Greek
book. Light dawned upon his countenance as he murmered,
"It must be Greek". Freshmen take note.

* • • •

And we wonder which freshmen have a harder time
doing — checking books out or checking them in. The in-
nocents join a group at the desk and stand stork-like for
about fifteen minutes to hand the attendant a book.

• • • •

But we really should offer something of value this
week. It is strange how few people know what books are
in the four stands in front of the desk. In the first on the
right are the encyclopedias, the Americana, the Brittanica,
and what have you, though we are lacking the Asiatica. In
the second on the right are the Bible commentaries, dic-
tionaries, concordances, and encyclopedias, and the for-
eign language and English dictionaries. There is also a few
chemistry encyclopedias on the side away from the^ door.

In the first stand on the left are the files of the various
English journals and magazines, the Cambridge Histories
of English and American literature, and specialized dic-
tionaries of English proverbs, American dialect, and such.
There is a Shakespeare concordance, and various other
books of interest to the English teacher. The last stand on
the left contains encyclopedias and sets of books on history
and sociology. Here too, are found the "Who's Who's" and
volumes containing sketches of the lives and acts of emi-
nent men in the various fields.

These books may be used at any time without being
checked out. However, they are on permanent reserve,
and may never leave the library. We feel sure that fifteen
minutes study of the four stands will, if it does not sound
too trite to say so, open a new world of information, for
here additional material may be found on almost any sub-
ject.

have radiators that are still trying to popularize the ancient
game of "knock, knock", may disregard the last paragraph,
unless you wish to peruse it for its lasting literary value.

The subject of clocks brings to mind a scoop that has
unbelieveably managed to escape the notice of our most
"nose-for-news"-sy reporters, even the freshman appren-
tices. We'll print it for your enlightenment.

"Hickory, dickory, dock.

Two mice ran up the clock.

The clock struck one —

And the other escaped uninjured."

Women's place may be at home, but the whole trouble
with the theory is that they're at home anywhere. Take
our new fern cheerleaders, for example. I wonder why we
never invented them before. They have certainly shown
us that women can be useful as well as ornamental in
orange and garnet sweaters. Also that their strong right
arms can wave gracefully and enthusiastically without
benefit of rolling pin. And that coy, sweet, soft, voices may
go to town too, if they so desire. Keep up the fine work,
gals, and we'll have no cause to regret the day women
took over half the cheering squad at Maryville.

Latest informer from the Chilhowean ward reports
"Doing nicely, thank you". Well, and why shouldn't she,
we ask? After all, it stands to reason that if everyone, in-
dividuals and organizations, wants a bigger and better an-
nual this year, all they have to do is to co-operate with the
Chilhowean staff, sign up early for pages, and fork over
the necessary dough on time. And that's easy enough
to do; the more difficult part is to remember it. Let's try.
Here's where I get off, as Proctor and Pflanze haven't
come across yet. By jeepers, I wondered what this string
around my finger was for! I forgot to send them a bill. Oh,
well, it will all come out in the wash. Or in the 1939

Just to bolster up freshmen and juniors with infer-
iority complexes, if any, and to excuse seniors and soph-
omores with superiority complexes, if those there be^ who
haven't already their own excuses, we close with this sage
bit of latherly advice from the proverbs of Confuse Us:

"My 1011, forget not this ancient truth, that thy
way may guide thee in pleasant place*, lie that tooteth not

For Bainonians

Bainonian initiated its new members
yesterday afternoon at 4:30 with a ses-
sion of interior decorating followed by
a tea in the society room in Pearsons
hall. The new girls, in response to
individual invitations, were entertained
by participation in a general house-

after which they were introduced to
the upperclass members of the society.

Sara Bolton, president of Bainonian,
announced a new ruling concerning the
use of the hall which goes into effect
October 14. According to the new re-
gulation, no organization, club, or
society other than Bainonian may at
any time meet in the society room
without the special permission of the
president.

This precaution is taken to assure
the women of Pearsons an attractive
room for recreation and dormitory

HAVE A REAL TEAM THIS TIME—

Last night the Highlanders looked like a real scoring
machine. After the game, the congratulations were pour-
ing in thick and fast and the majority of them seem to in-
dicate that the boys were really clicking last night. In the
opinions offered by the bleacher seat coaches. Mr. Hona-
ker has turned out one of the hardest hitting and fighting
teams they have seen in many a day. I was talking to last
year's captain, Jim Renfro, before the game and he said
that if our line would pick up a little, we would have a real
team this year. Well, according to the way the line stack-
ed up last night, we do have a real team. Line Coach
Thrower seemed plenty satisfied after the game with the
ways his proteges performed under pressure of a heavier
line.

TOUCH-FOOTBALD-

Jntarclass football is finally here. And so is Theron T.
Etheredge. If any of you happened to see the Sophs and
Jrs. clash last week, you couldn't help but remembering
how he snagged almost impossible passes out of the blue
sky and tucked them under his arms to run away from the
bewildered sophs. Well, that is just an example of what
you will see at an interclass game. Thrills, chills, and ex-
citement feature these annual battles and all of you should
join in participating vocally or physically.

CONGRATULATIONS, FRANK—

Last week Frank Morrow won the YMCA singles
championship. His winning the title signifies the climax
of a fine tennis player's career. Morrow, who played num-
ber one man on the tennis team part of the past year's
season, almost won the tournament last year, but was de-
feated in a very close match by Ted Gillingham. Frank
is one of the finest sports on or off the tennis court, and
deserves lots of credit for his conduct as well as his fine
playing. So, here is our congratulations, Frank, and may
you repeat again next year.

Highlanders Face
Union Next Week

The Maryville College Highlanders go
to Barbourville, Ky., next Saturday to
play Union college. Maryville should
win easily over the smaller team. Union
has only eighteen on the squad with
two regulars on the ailing list, an end
and a stellar center. Union sports, how-
ever, one of the country's finest small
college backs in Ralph "Fish" Stafura.
Stafura was all -conference last year,
and honorable mention on the little
Ail-American. The Scotties will have
some trouble with his 190 pounds at
fullback. The game is out of the Smoky
Conference, and the first one with
Union for several years.

this morning.

Students will be allowed to at-
tend the football game on Wilson
field between Maryville high
school and Everett high. There
will be a small admission charge
to the game.

Jung Speaks To Alpha

» The YMCA intramural tennis tour-
nament was concluded this week, when
Frank Morrow breezed through to take
the singles crown and the doubles with
Ken Van Cise. He defeated Van Cise
6-2, 6-4, 6-4, in the singles finals, and
partnered with him to win the doubles
from Akana and Stevenson, 1-6, 6-1, 6-
4, 7-5, 6-2.

The singles match Was hard fought
under a hot sun, and Morrow who was
seeded to win, easily overpowered his
smaller opponent. Van Cise gave
ground grudgingly, however, winning
eight of his ten services in the last
two sets. The doubles match was the
real climax of the tournament; a gruel-
ling five set match which looked pretty
even for a while. Morrow and Van Cise
squelched the teamwork of the lower
seeded pair finally in a very decisive
set.

Morrow has won in the doubles for
three years straight, teamed with Gil-
lingham until this year. His victory in
the singles, however, is his first in the
Y tournament.

The YWCA will hold its next meet-
ing in the Fine Arts studio, tomorrow
at \:\Z. Miss Ruth Thompson will
speak on "Music In Our Everyday
Life," and will supplement her talk
with musical selections.

The freshmen may have been a little
underestimated, for it seems as though
they almost upset the seniors in a YM
intramural touch football game Tues-
day afternoon. The game opened the
fall touch football season, and the two
teams battled to a scoreless deadlock.

In the latter part of the second half,
York, freshman end, took a long pass
on a sleeper play and raced across the
goal line, but all in vain. The head-
linesman ruled that York was not in
the game at that time, all of this re-
sulting from the confusion of having
spectators on the edge of the playing
field, and the touchdown did not count.
The seniors threatened to score a few
minutes later, but the freshmen kept
them out of the end zone, and the game
ended 6-0. ' ; ' •

Maryville Leads
Conference With
2 Wins, No Losses

The Maryville College Highlanders
are leading the Smoky Mountain Con-
ference with a perfect record, two wins
in two attempts. The Scotties won from
Tusculum at home and defeated Milli-
gan at Milligan. This does not include
this week's games. Appalachian Teach-
ers and East Tennessee Teachers are
tied for second place with one win
each. App. State Mountaineers shook
Carson-Newman's tail feathers, 26 to
0, last Saturday. Maryville is the only
team that has played more than one
conference foe. King will meet its first
conference foe Saturday in Johnson
City when they play E. T. Teachers.
Tusculum plays Carson-Newman in
Jefferson City Saturday evening. This
game should give some hint concern-
ing the comparative strength of a part
of the conference.

By Doug Steakley

The Maryville College Highlanders really put on the
pressure last night when they handed Tennessee Wesleyan
a 28-7 whitewashing. The Scotties, although considerably
outweighed, and distinctly the underdog of the contest,
turned loose a barrage of running plays that left the Bull-
dogs bewildered and scattered all over Wilson Field. Wes-
leyan looked good only in the second quarter when they
marched from their 25 yard line to cross the goal line
scoring their only touchdown.

Maryville drew first blood in the firsts
quarter when Joe Etheredge broke

A program of songs and talks pic-
turing life in other countries will be

Alpha Sigma Literary society meeting
this evening. Ingeborg Jung of Ger-
many, Ernest Casseres of Costa Rico,
Julio Flores and Parker Santiago of
Puerto Rico will head the list of en-
tertainers.

downs. Morrow tossed two long high
ones into the waiting arms of Etheredge
and two more fell into the arms of

pass after pass, even when surround-

out in the junior line, especially with
his rushing that caught the sophs for
several losses.

TUG-O-WAR

A tug-of-war between the freshmen
and sophomore men was the feature of
the pep-meeting on last Thursday
night. The contest was to decide which
were mice and which were men, and the
freshmen tugged rather too easily to
victory, desipte some unorthodox help
on the sophomore end. The winners
and losers were cheered, and several
cheers were practiced for the game,
with particular influence on the new
pep song. Glenn Young read Doug
Steakley's weekly pep-talk through the
public address system, and the meeting
closed with the singing of the Alma
Mater.

through the Bulldog line and blocked
a punt, scooping up the ball, Etheredge
then made a 60 yard dash down the
field fir six points. From the first
touchdown on, the game was clearly
all for the Scotties. Time after time,
Hunt would plough through left tack-
le for four yards, and then Hughes
would smash the other side of the line
for five more. If it wasn't Hughes or
Hunt carrying the ball it was Morton,
who would sweep through guard for
an average of seven yards per play.

The Highlanders line play was par-
ticularly outstanding. Outweighed to
the man, the linemen dug in and
practically blocked the heavier team
off their feet. "Nig" Wilburn looked
plenty good, making tackle after tack-
le, and intercepting or knocking down
passes. Kramer, Etheredge, Burns, Tip-
ton, Taylor, and Smith all played heads
up football to make the line look the
best it has this year.

By CAP'N BELLS

Practically "nekkid" he was. Tearing
down the hall with another fresh-
maniac behind, waving a broom at him.
"Say, son," a senior says, "aren't you
afraid of splinters?" "Sure, that's why

I'm runnin'. Tryin' to save my head."

• * •

Must have been like the freshie who
sat down to the aptitude test a couple
weeks ago. He looked at the first ques-
tion and then "the fog came on little
cat feet." "That wouldn't have been
so bad," moans he, "but it was Krazy

Kat."

• • •

If the fvosh-senior touch football tilt
of Tuesday was any sample of what's
coming, all you gals will have plenty
of pigskin passers on your hands this
fall. Or, as one amoeba put it as he
bopped a ball-toting biggie, "Ah, the

skin I love to touch,"

Scene from a dorm window: a junior
blushing like blazes when a freshlady
asked for his autograph. It develops
she wanted it for criminology purpos-
es.

One green girl, when asked in history
class how many Indians there were in
America about the time of Columbus'
discovery, replied, "Well, there were
quite a few. In fact, there were a
whole lot". Tut, tut, young lady. Don't

exaggerate!

The editor says it couldn't be any
worse, so here's a contribution from
one of my most admiring readers:
MAD VENTURER

I'm not one of those timid souls

Who loathe adventurous travel,

Who'd rather stare at glowing coals

Than mysteries unravel,

Who never knew the fear of feeling

The boa's brassy coils,

Nor felt his very blood congealing

As a cannibal he foils.

I'm not that yellow, cowardly type.

I'm rash, and mad, and free.

I strike whenever the time is ripe.

"Relentless Red"— that's me.

But Til not gray before I'm old,

Not me, my hearty, look-
When I desire adventure bold,

I go off and read a book!

—Don Kent

Gather 'round, Freshmen, and listen
to the words of the court philosopher,
"Enthusiasm makes a dull world
bright, and properly directed, makes it
sparkle."

The regular meeting of the Disc club

next Friday afternoon at 4:30. The pro-
gram will consist of the Stokowsky re-
cording of Brahms' Symphony num-
ber four in E minor. Robert Brandriff
will comment.

The Fourth is one of the truly great
works in the symphonic literature.
Composed near the end of Brahms'
career, it represents the mature and
summary statement of a deeply
thoughtful intellect and in this respect
is somewhat analogous to Beethoven's
Ninth. Although composed at the
height of the romantic movement, it
represents a definite reversion to
classical forms.

Maryville Debate
Fraternity Ranks
Tenth In Nation

Debate Question Discussed

At Second Meeting:

Of Class

Maryville's chapter of Pi Kappa Del-
ta, national honorary forensic fraternity
was ranked tenth in the nation for
1934-36-38 according to the report pub-
lished in the October issue of Forensic.
Teams were ranked according to the
number of points made at national Pi
Kappa Delta speech tournaments.

Maryville made a total of 64 points
in the various fields of speech at the
conventions. McAlester college at St.
Paul, Minn., also made a total of 64
points, and so shared the honor with
Maryville of tenth place in the United
States.

Augusta college of Sioux Falls, S. D.,
was Banked first in the nation with 98
points. Hastings college was second
with 96 points; Nebraska Wesleyan was
third with 90 points; and in order came
Baylor university, Redlands, Sioux
Falls, Aberdeen Teachers, Gustavus
Adolphus, William Jewell, and Mary-
ville.

There were 148 schools that took part
in the last national convention at To-
peka, Kansas, which is the largest
number in its history.

Members of the varsity debate class
met last Tuesday evening in Thaw hall,
and various phases of the debate sub-
ject were discussed by members of
last year's squad. The debate subject
as selected by Pi Kappa Delta is "Re-
solved: That the United States should
cease to use public funds (including
credits) for the purpose of stimulating
business."

Otto Pflanze gave the "History in the
United States of the Policy of Spend-
ing Money"; Louise Proffitt talked on
the "Current Trends in the United
States in Spending Public Money";
Arnold Kramer, "Policy of Spending
Public Money from Viewpoint of Pri-
vate Business"; Harriet Miller, "Policy
of Spending Public Money from View-
point of Government"; Sara Lee Hel-
iums, "Effect of Government Spend-
ing on Unemployment;" and Clifford
Proctor finished the disoussion with
"Public Expenditure— the Santa Claus
of the United States."

Arda Walker acted as chairman, and
Miss Grace Proffitt, who is to assist
Mr. Queener with debate coaching this
year, criticized the speeches.

Carscn Of China
Speaks In Chapel

Missionary of Pres. Church
Visits U. S. Colleges

Dr. Arthur L. Carson, director of the
Rural Institute at Cheeloo university,
Tsinan, China, will speak in chapel
next Wednesday. Dr. Carson, who has
been in China since 1921 under ap-
pointment as a missionary of the Pres-
byterian church, is now spending some
months visiting colleges and universi-
ties throughout the United States. He
will be on the campus Tuesday even-
ing and during Wednesday, and will be
available for interviews with any stu-
dents who would like to talk to him
about missionary service, Christian
work, or matters with which he is in
touch in the Orient and in Europe.

A graduate of Pennsylvania State
college, with a doctor's degree from
Cornell, Dr. Carson has always been
interested in agriculture and rural wel-
fare. He has occupied a leading place
not only in teaching, but he has been
instrumental also in organizing work
in public health, co-operative socie-
ties, agricultural extension, home mak-
ing, and religious education. Before
leaving China in the early summer,
Dr. Carson lived for several months
in territory occupied by the Japanese.
During this period he was a member of
a hurriedly organized police force of
Americans, British, Germans and Rus-
sians, who protected the port city of
Tsingtao from looters between the time
that the Chinese officials had with-
drawn and the Japanese soldiers had
entered.

Returning to America by way of Eu-
rope, Dr. Carson spent several weeks in
Denmark where he lectured at the In-
ternational People's college and stud-
ied the development of agriculture and
rural life in that country.

Juniors Make Plans

For Hallowe'en Party

Plaid skirts, plaid neck ties, plaid
jackets, anything plaid, will be worn
at the junior Highland Fling to be held
at the Maryville high school gymnasi-
um on Halloween. The program will
consist of games and entertainment
which are to be arranged by the com-
mittee composed of Harriet Miller,,
chairman, Louise Proffitt, Helen Bew-
ley, Howard Lamon, and Bruce Wal-
ters. The party will be for the mem-
bers of the junior class only.

The sophomore and freshmen class-
es have, as yet, not made any plans
for their Halloween parties. The senior
class, however, is invited to any of the
other class parties.

Matron Initiates
Social Programs
In Baldwin Hall

Plan For Tea, Open House,

Christmas Program

First Semester

In order to afford a pleasant year for
the women in Baldwin hall, Miss Mary
Hallock, head matron, appointed a
committee of nine to arrange a social
program for the dormitory this year.
Members of the committee are Bernice
Smith, chairman, Mary Alice Minear,
Lily Pinneo, Ruth Andrews, Jean
White, Mary Darden, Margaret Lod-
wick, Sue Stevenson, and Thelma
Ritzman. The purpose of this com-
mittee is to increase the feeling of
friendship among the women in Bald-
win and to afford a means of discuss-
ing any problems that may arise dur-
ing the year.

The program planned thus far con-
sists of a tea, an open house, and a
Christmas program. The first of these,
the tea, was held last night in the
dormitory parlor from eight until ten
o'clock. A background of music was
supplied throughout the evening by
musicians living in the dormitory. Vo-
cal selections were given by Ruth Su-
therlin, Hettabell Whitehill, and Doris
Smith. Sarah Hussey played a violin
solo and Anne Abel, Margaret Halsey,
Mary Helen Caldwell, Janice Graybeal,
Bernice Smith, and Louise Wells play-
ed piano solos. The arrangements and
the decorations for the tea were in
charge of the house committee.

The date for open house is set tenta-
tively for November 19 and the Christ-
mas program for December 14. The
plans for these events have not been
formulated.

It is hoped that through these pro-
grams Baldwin hall will become more
than just a building to the women and
mean a place of unity, friendship, and
understanding.

Freshmen Photos
Returned Tuesday

323 New Students Receive
Photos Tuesday

Copies of identification pictures of
all freshmen and transfer students
were returned on Tuesday morning
after chapel. These pictures were tak-
en during the first three days of the
school year, when 288 freshmen and
35 new upper-classmen reporteS to the
temporary studio in Voorhees chapel.
Charles Sullivan, a junior at Maryville
and an amateur photographer who has
done some work for the Knoxville
News-Sentinel, took the pictures.

The making and distributing of the
pictures is under the direct supervision
of the personnel office. A vicam cam-
era which uses film that makes 500
individual pictures to one roll is em-
ployed, and the pictures are sent to
the manufacturer of the camera to
be developed. Eight pictures are made;
one of these goes to the student him-
self, and one goes to each of the fol-
lowing: personnel office, the president's
office, the treasurer's office, the stu-
dent-help office, the director of cur-
riculum, and the directors of men's
and women's residence.

Forum Discusses
World Diplomacy
At Last Meeting

Dr. C. A. Campbell Chosen

Sponsor of Group

By Council

Exposure of the motives behind the
foreign policies of Russia, Germany,
and America was the theme of one of
the most interesting programs ever
presented by the Peace Forum last
evening in Thaw hall. Actual state-
ments by Roosevelt, Hitler, and Ou-
mansky, Russian diplomat, were read
by Tommy Woolf, Bob Lamont, and
Harriet Miller. The "exposing" was
done by Louise Proffitt, Clifford Proc-
tor, George Webster.

Miss Proffitt declared that the pur-
pose behind Russia's pea •«.• policy is the
need for time to build up a regime in
Russia that will be able to inaugurate
the World Revolution. She showed
how the Comintern is in reality under
the control of the Russian government
and that it even now is preparing the
way for the revolution. "We can see
behind the peace program of Russia
the red flag of communism still wav-
ing," she stated.

Proctor in showing the motives be-
hind the statements Hitler made at
Nuremburg recently, declared that
Germany's wish for world power dif-
fers little in that of other powers ex-
cept in its intensity. He declared, "The
drang nach osten of the old German
empire is still in a process of fulfill-
ment. Germany is building a huge eco-
nomic empire across the continent in-
cluding the Balkan states and extend-
ing on to Asia Minor."

The statement of Roosevelt at Chica-
go that the 90 percent of the world
powers who are "pure in heart" must
quarantine the other 10 percent that
are impure was the theme of George
Webster's address. He showed how
American imperialism has made itself
felt in the past just as much as the
ambitions of other powers today. "The
United States has championed the open
door in areas where she could not
make her imperialism felt, but has re-
peatedly denied the open door to other
powers in areas of her own domina-
tion," he stated. He went on to show
how America has engaged in no less
than seventy interventions in the Car-
ibbean in the last fifty years."

In a short business session before
the program began it was announced
that Dr. Claude A. Campbell has ac-
cepted the invitation of the forum ex-
ecutive council to become the sponsor
of the organization, and that affiliation
with the Carnegie Foundation for In-
ternational Peace will shortly be ac-
complished.

Last week the program committee
announced that Ingeborg Jung, German
exchange student at Maryville, would
speak at the next meeting of the forum.

Class Visits School

At Norris Thursday

Approximately thirty members of
Miss Mary Keller's classes in methpds
of teaching visited the model school
at Norris, Tenn., last Thursday. The
group left the campus in the morning
and spent the day observing the meth-
ods in practice at the experimental
school where students learn by actual
practice how to meet and handle sit-
uations of everyday life. The party also
visited neighboring Norris dam before
returning to Maryville the same after-

noon.

Salzburg Choir Is Typical German Family

By ROBERT BRANDRIFF

The Salzburg Trapp choir, appearing
here on November 1 as the opening
concert of the 1938-39 Artist series, re-
presents the happy cooperation of a
large and talented family. Composed
of the wife and seven children of a
hero of the Central powers' submarine
fleet in the World War, Count George
von Trapp, the choir enjoys a sane and
normal home life characteristic of the
German family at its best.

Until five years ago when they began
seriously to develop themselves as pro-
fessional musicians, the Trapp family
led an idyllic existence on their estate
three miles from Salzburg. Located
directly at the foot of the Gaisberg
mountain in a big private park, their

home became a year 'round center for
every sport. The girls do all their own
housework, but once that is finished
they spend nearly all their waking
hours out of doors. In the winter there
is usually three feet of snow and the
skiing is famous in the section. In the
summer they go south to the Adriatic
where they camp for weeks at a time
in tents on a small island. Here they
have a yacht in which they make long
cruises, swim and fish. The entire fam-
ily are "fold-boat" enthusiasts, and
they frequently take long camping and
canoe trips down the Danube. At Salz-
burg they play ball together and dance
the folk dances native to the region.
Often, too, in the summer months they
take long hiking trips through the

Austrian Alps searching for folksongs
and mountain calls new to their re-
pertoire, in this way they gathered
from herdsmen and dairymaids many
songs unknown even to the generality
I of Austrians.

During the long winter evenings at
Aigen-bei-Salzburg, the von Trapps
engage in varied pursuits. Each one
has some special hobby to occupy the
time that is left over from their formal
studies. The choir practices for three
hours each day, but in the evenings
they gather around the fireplace to
give book reviews and coach each oth-
er in English and French. The step-
mother, Maria Auguste, is the very soul
of both the choir and the family. She is

college chapel Saturday morning the
life and work of Professor Gideon S.
W. Crawford will be commemorated.
Professor Crawford was a member of
the Maryville faculty from 1874 to 1891.

French Club's Picnic
Wednesday Afternoon
Proves Huge Success

The annual French club picnic was
held last Wednesday at Dr. W. P.
Stevenson's picnic grounds in the col-
lege woods. Singing games were direc-
ted by Ed Goddard, and other types of
recreation were enjoyed until supper
was ready. After eating by firelight,
initiation of new members was com-
pleted by the rendition of songs and
stories, and by performance of for-
feits.

In addition to twenty-five members,
old and new. Professor and Mrs. R. M.
Hovel, Miss Catherine Wilkinson, and
Miss Dorothy Hunter were present.
The program was planned by Anne
Elizabeth Biggs and Margaret Peters,
while the social committee, composed
of Margaret Hamrick, Ruth Moore,
and Margaret Hammond had charge
of the refreshments .

Work on the play, "Tovarich," to be
presented by the college players on
November 18, is progressing nicely,
according to a statement released by
Mrs. Nita E. West, associate professor
of dramatic art, today. "I am especially
pleased with the casting of the play,"
said Mrs. West. Rehearsals for the sec-
ond act will start next week.

Sets for the play were designed ear-
ly this week by John Wintermute and
John Fisher. Stage work started last
Thursday.

Because of its very recent release for

other than professional performance,

Tovarich" will probably be seen here

for its first time in amateur production,

Curtmarie Brown, business manager
for the play, announced today that Hugh
Smith will be in charge of publicity
and the selling of tickets off of the
campus, Stone Norton, Marie Jensen,
and Arlene Phelps, will do poster

By FRED RHOOIJ

'There Will Be A Chilhowean"

"Yes, there will be a Chilhowean." Today there is no
necessity for such a declaration to the students, since there
is no accompanying dubious inquiry. A year ago, however,
it was a declaration which no one was ready to make
quite definitely. During the interim the 1938 Chilhowean
became a successful reality, proving, financially at least,
that the new, untried plan was practicable. The staff of
that, annual had a true advantage in being able to start
with very known limitations and a full realization of the
dangers to be, encountered. The natural tendency, we be-
lieve, would have been for the staff of this year's annual,
not possessing a background of financial fiasce, to let down
and take its ease. Instead it is gratifying to note the well-
organized planning and concerted action which have char-
acterized the course of the 1939 Chilhowean thus far.

Working well within their financial bounds the man-
agement is planning for an improved annual, the ambi-
tion of every good staff. It will include, as contrasted with
last year, color themes throughout, a revised feature sec-
tion which will increase the number and beauty of the div-
isional pages, and an original innovation which will multi-
ply the appeal of the advertising.

'During the past two weeks, the Business Manager has
successfully carried out a subscription campaign and the
senior1 class section has been completed. The two upper
classes and a large percentage of the campus organizations
have contracted for page space while arrangements have
been made for the final conference with the printer and
the engraver on the tentative layout of the book.

With such prompt and sound preparation for the pub-
lication, we feel that the staff is doing its part and more
toward a fine book. All that remains necessary, and this
you will recognize as no new idea, is that the student body,
recognizing the advantage of a distinctive yearbook, as
they intelligently must, will translate this recognition into
terms oi cooperative action.

O

Reason To Be Interested

Although forensics is an extra-curricular activity
which rarely attracts very much attention outside of the
group actually taking part, Maryville students and faculty
have real reason to be genuinely interested in the re-
markable achievements of our debaters and public speak-
ers.

Using the ratings of the Pi Kappa Delta convention
contests of 1934-36-38 as a standard of comparison, Mary-
ville ranks tenth in a field of 148 colleges from all parts of
the United States.

Consistently, Prof. Verton M. Queener and his var-
sity debate class have produced debate teams and public
speakers of the finest sort. As they begin work again,
they have the congratulations of all of us for the past, and
our best wishes for success in this year's competition.

News Jfem: L.S.U. star football player, recently dis-
charged from' the team, charges that the real reason for
his dismissal was his attempts to organize the football
squad into a union.

• • •
When the autumn breezes flutter,
And the dead leaves flood the gutter,
Then the pigskins start to clutter up the air.
At the gate of every stadium

Stands a CIO Palladium—

If you have no union card-ium, beware!

• • •

Now the players are all lined-up,

Every man of them is signed-up,

(We'll coax the ones who haven't j'ined-up to belong).

Local twenty-two's the line,

And the backfield's sixty-nine.

"United Gridders, Undermine the Boss," our song.

• • •
For the dollar monthly fee,

We'll call time-out for serving tea.

We'll never let the referee decide a play.

For in our union brotherhood,

Of course you know it's understood

We're always working for the good of our own way.

• • •

To make the player's life more bright,

We're giving him what's his by right:

He may stay out all night if he desire.

Candy, cake and lemon pie,

(We pay expenses if he die,

But there's no earthly reason why he should expire).

• • •

Whenever anything goes wrong,

(As when the other team's too strong),

We won't allow that very long; we'll call a strike!

We'll vote unanimous to quit,

And bravely on the goal post sit,

Until the union settles it the way we like.

* • • •

In the dark out-moded ages

Football players got low wages,

Often damaged fuselages was their only pay.

The brotherhood has changed the setting!

Now all football men are getting

Union wages, each one netting plenty hay.

• * * •

The union's fixed the salary rate
To different jobs commesurate, »■

So punters will appropriate the biggest share;
And next, the backs, who run berserk,

And then the line, (who do the work!) i >"

Oh boy! The coaches lose their cut: there's none to
spare.

FRESHMUN FUNN

By CAP'N BBLLS

Why do birds fly south in the fall?

• • • *

They were discussing in class the furious pace of Am-
erican life when a slow, easy-going Alabaman gave her
opinion. "You know," she drawled, "Ah don't think Am-
ericans are so fast." Sure, in Alabama, they never heard of
the era of speed. Considering the trouble it's causing in

Knoxville, maybe it's just as well.

• • •

Table talk: Blotto — I wonder how old this coffee is?
Ditto — I don't know about the water but the grounds were

donated by the class of '37.

• • • •

Some of the smarties in the back row say that since
they must attend chapel, the music shouldn't stop before
they get a chance to march those two steps to the door.
Taxation without regimentation is tyranny.

One Yankee bets they fly south to feel the thrill of
returning north in the spring.

The frosh touch football fans waited all week for this
afternoon to see their team vanquish the much-vaUnted

Juniors. What an upset!

An insignificant one thinks that new, macadamized
road between Bartlett and Thaw would have come in
handy past Memorial and Carnegie. What's the matter
with the one there now, freshmen? Anyway, "Thou shalt

not covet "

A southerner suggests that it would be just as well

Was as happy as a slicker with a hick.

All his communistic leanings

Were confined to fistic beanings

Of his better half and other bushy brutes.

He was never driven frantic

By each Hitler Aryantic

Nor the military tactics of the Teuts.

Not equality of sexes,

But Tyrannosaurus Rexes

Were the only thing that ever worried him;

And the life that he was leadin'

Was almost an earthly Eden —

Yet it's nice to know your further up the limb.

Reporter Finds Interesting Items

On Faculty Members' First Earnings

By J. EDWARD THOMAS

College professors, as popularized by
modern humorists, are supposed to
know little about practical business
affairs, but a partial survey of the fac-
ulty shows that the theory does not
apply to the professors at Maryville
college. Many of them began business
projects early in their careers. Their
interest in their early economic accom-
plishments was indicated by the rapid-
ity with which most of those questioned
gave accounts of the tasks performed
to earn their first dollar.

Professor Walker earned his first
dollar by thinning corn on a farm near
his home for twenty-five cents a day.
at a time when the maximum farm
wage for men was fifty cents a day —
and that didn't mean a union eight-
hour day either.

Dr. David H. Briggs had to work 3
days in a western North Carolina hay
field for his first dollar. He was only
eight years old, but farm work evi-
dently did not discourage him, be-
cause he said that he worked on a
farm until he finished college. Even
now, he says that he has not deserted
farm life, since he lives on a farm near
Maryville.

Professor Verton M. Queener earn-
ed his first money on a Tennessee
farm, but he received pay for his

work at the end or each month. He
earned $30 a month, and h,e continued
working on a farm until he came to
prep school at Maryville college.

Dr. Claude A. Campbell did not re-
member how he earned his first dol-
lar, but he well remembered how he
earned one dollar for which his em-
ployer received more than full value.
He agreed to help a neighboring farm-
er haul 125 bales of hay from the field
to the barn for a dollar. In order to
keep the hay from being rained on they
worked from 5:00 in the afternoon un-
til 3:00 the next morning. Dr. Camp-
bell said that he realized that his price
was too low after he began the job,
but he fulfilled his contract anyway.

It was by mental rather than physi-
cal effort that Dr. M. M. Rogers be-
gan earning money. His mother paid
him five cents a question for learning
the Westminster catechism. Miss Doro-
thy Hunter received one dollar from
her father for each "A" she made in
high school. She said that sometimes
her income was nine dollars a month.

Dr. Griffitts, head of the chemistry
department, began his economic career
in the field of biology instead of chem-
istry. When he was seven years old,
he raised a brood of chickens which
he sold for three dollars.

Ivan Blake Elected
German Club Leader
At Meeting Tuesday

The first regular meeting of the Ger-
man club was held last Tuesday night
at 6:45 in the gymnasium, under the
direction of Professor Ralph S. Collins
and Mr. Ralph Hovel, instructors in
German. Thirty-five persons were pre-
sent. The main portion of the meeting
was taken up with business, at which
time, the following officers were elect-
ed: Ivan Blake, president; Warren Cul-
ver, vice president; Inge Jung, secre-
tary; and Edith Gillette, treasurer. This
was followed by the singing of German
songs and the introduction of several
German folk-dances.

The purpose of the club is to give
those interested in the German lang-
uage a glimpse of Germany thru its
songs and folk-dances and thru the
experience of those who have either
visited or lived in that country. Regu-
lar meetings of the club are held on
the first and third Tuesdays of each
mon<h. Announcement of the next
meeting, which has been postponed
because of the Artists series concert,
will be made later.

SCOTTY 5IDL-5LANT5

By DOUG STEy\KLEY

Sports Editor

»n« rj)i

.

INJURIES—

Today, when the Scotties are up in Barbourville, Ky.,
trying to tie the Union college Bulldogs up in a knot, the
squad will probably be without the services of "Cousin"
Joe Etheredge. Joe severely injured his ankle Wednesday
afternoon while practicing kick-offs. He was unable to
practice the remainder of the week, and will take a well-
earned rest this afternoon. He expects, however, to be
back in shape next week, and will be able to start against
Lenoir-Rhyne Friday at the Homecoming game.

CIO—

Looks like this union business has hit the athletic
side of life finally. At L.S.U., Bussey, a star backfield man,
was released from the football squad for breaking train-
ing. Bussey, however, claims that the real reason behind
his dismissal was that he tried to organize the football
players into a football CIO, for the betterment of the
spare time recreation for tired football players. What
about organizing a CIO for tired sports writers? Hmm
...I wonder???

THE HIGHLAND ECHO "OCTOBER 22, 1938

MUD— NO FUN!

Next Friday night we play Lenoir-Rhyne on Wilson
Filed. Let's hope that the playing conditions will be a lot
better this year than they were at Hickory, N. C, last fall.
The Scotties played Lenoir-Rhyne to a scoreless tie in a
sea of mud; and only the breaks of the game kept the
Scotties from winning the game. A thirty-five yard run by
Junior Odell brought the Highlanders to the Bear's five
yard line but a fumble saved the Lenoir-Rhyners from de-
feat.

PLUG FOR ODELL-

Which reminds us, Junior Odell was in Maryville yes-
terday. Odell was one of the finest athletes on the hill for
a number of years. Junior earned his letter in four major
sports last year: football, baseball, basketball, and track.
He was named all-Conference end, and was elected as al-
ternate captain of this year's football team. But organized
baseball lured Odell away from the football field, and he
spent the summer playing in a minor league in Pennsyl-
vania. He thinks Maryville has a fine team this year, and
sees ricrreason why the Scots shouldn't win the conference.

BIG TIME STUFF—

A little about big time football is due about now. It
seems as though our neighbor, the University of Tennes-
see has really put itself into national football spotlights
by turning back the surprised Tide of Alabama. Last
week's polls of outstanding coaches and football players,
rates the Major of Tennessee and George Cafego, their
star running back, among the upper-up of football
coaches and players. Despite all this cain raised by the
Volunteers, we still think Alabama has a fine team, but
that Tennessee was just unbeatable last Saturday. Pitt is
our choice of the greatest team in the country, and we
think that Pitt will go through the season undefeated.
Tennessee has a good chance of keeping their slate clean,
but with LSU and Vandy, not counting Kentucky, the
Vols will have a real job on their hands to get that Rose
Bowl bid.

Cross-Country Squad
Schedules Meets With
U.T. And Georgia Tech

The cross-country team, which has
been practicing the past month, re-
ceived invitations to engage in dual
cross-country meets with the Univer-
sity of Tennessee, and Georgia Tech.
The Maryville squad will hold a try-
out run Tuesday afternoon to deter-
mine who will go to Atlanta next Sat-
urday for the meet with Georgia Tech.

Five men will probably make the
trip to Atlanta and sue men will pro-
bably be used in the meets with the

Scots Play Union
Bulldogs Today

The Maryville college Highlanders
play Union college at Barbourville,
Kentucky, this afternoon.

The game promises to be an inter-
esting one despite Union's small squad.
The Bulldogs' record to date is not
very impressive but shows plenty of
offensive power. In the first game of
the season, Union lost to East Tennes-
see Teachers 13-31. Later in the year
they beat Georgetown and Rose Poly-
technic Institute, losing, however, to
the Carson-Newman Eagles. The en-
tire team is built around Ralph (Fish)
Stafura, their all-conference full-back.
He was mentioned on the little All-
American last year and is making even
a better record this year. The Scotties
will have to give plenty of attention to
his 190 pounds at fullback.

The Maryville squad will be handi-
capped by the loss of Joe Etheredge
and George Gamer. Both are out in-
definitely with injuries. Obie Jenkins
may be ready to go in at left guard.

MAC REMOVES CAST

Gene McCurry, 200 pound sophomore
lineman for the Scots, who had receiv-
ed a broken ankle earlier in the sea-
son, last week had the cast removed
from the fracture, and is able to be
around with crutches. Gene will be
able to walk again in about three
weeks, but will be unable to play any-
more footbail this season. He will,
however, be back again next year.

Hapless Frosh 25-0 In Interclass Mayhem

The Sophs won their first game of
the season by defeating the Seniors
7 to 0. W. Baird dropped the Seniors
great chance behind the goal line in
the second quarter. After that the "big
boys" didn't seem to get anywhere
against the smooth clicking Soph de-
fense.

Peterson, sophomore end, thrilled the
side lines with seemingly impossible
catches. Many of these desperate, but
successful tries, found him sprawling
on the ground with the ball held snug-
ly under his arm.

The Juniors beat out a scrappy
Freshman football squad 25-0 yester-
day afternoon.

Spurred by Theron Etheredge and
Frank Morrow the Juniors outpassed
and out-ran the Freshmen. Burns and
Birmingham stood out among the Frosh
backs; Burns passing and Birming-
ham leading interference and blocking
beautifully. Scapellati and York played

good ball on the line for the Frosh;
Woodring for the Juniors.

The Juniors scored on the first play
on the old sleeper-pass, Morrow to
Etheredge. The pass and run were good
for 50 yards. The quarter ended with
the score Juniors 6 and Freshman 0.
In the third quarter little "T\ Ether-
edge ran two punts back for touch-
downs, one for forty yards, the other
for fifty-five. Etheredge followed fine
interference on both runs and show-
ed some flashy broken field running.
Morrow passed to Herrich to convert
the extra point after the third touch-
down making the score Juniors 19—
Frosh 0. In the last few minutes of the
game Morrow stepped off fifty yards

Tie Another One

The exciting game between Alpha
Sigma and Athenian literary socities
ended in a 6 to 6 tie. "T." Etheredge
opened a long series of spectacular
passes with a catch on mid-field and
a sprint to the ten yard line. McCaskie
caught the scoring throw between the
goal posts giving Alpha Sigma a six
point lead.

W. Baird placed the ball in scoring
position on a long pass and Stevenson
passed to Rhody for six points, for
the Athenians pass from Stevenson to

6 to 6 in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter Athenian per-

was broken by Morrow who intercep-

yards down the field. Alpha Sigma
completed one pass for three yards and
lost the ball on the next play when

raced to the Sigma's twenty-five yard

"Y" Men Express Opinions About War
After Peace Forum Members Debate

THE HIGHLAND ECHO OCTOBER 22, 1938

i .a

■ j

— —

Men of the Y expressed their "Op-
inions about War" Sunday after list-
ening to a four-cornered debate spon-
sored by the Peace forum. Before cast-
ing their ballots these "veterans of fu-
ture wars" heard war discussed from
every angle; they heard Sherman's op-
inion, the viewpoint of the protection-
ist, and the arguments of both, iso-
lationists and war mongers.

Marvin Minear argued that war is
justifiable as the chief cause of human
progress. "War eliminates unemploy-
ment and promotes prosperity," he
stated. "War is good from a sociologi-
cal standpoint, for it relieves over-
population and unifies the people." He
went on to praise war from a psycho-
logical standpoint, because "it pro-
motes bravery and courage in thcae
whom it effects." Minear, however,
lost his case when the audience voted
forty-nine to two that war is unjusti-
fiable as a means of progress.

"War is justifiable when waged to
protect the property of private citizens
on foreign soil'" was the thesis of War-
ren Ashby. "The United States has a
$12,650,000 investment abroad and the
only possible way to protect it is to be
willing to go to WAR," he said. "Mor-
over if we do not protect our invest-
ors abroad during war America will
lose great prestige. Herbert Hoover has
made the statement that America must
protect these huge investments." But
neither Mr. Ashby nor Mr. Hoover
could persuade the men of the Y and
the idea went down to a thirty-nine
to four defeat.
Third speaker of the program was

Alfred Davies with his plea that "it
is justifiable when one nation invades
another to prevent a likely invasion of
its own soil." He based his argument
that the nation must be prepared to
defend itself on the fact that wars
have been fought for centuries and will
continue. "The rise of Fascism," he said,
"has, in particular, brought the pre-
paredness doctrine to the fore. China
is a good example of an unprepared
nation that has suffered huge losses for
lack of foresight. In an uncertain world
we must have security." Davies had a
little more success than his predecess-
ors, and came out with only a 26 to 21
defeat.

Final speaker of the evening was
Bruce Robinson with his contention
that "One should under no circum-
stances take part in war." Robinson's
speech was based mostly on the theme
that war is unchristian." In proving
the point he showed how early Christ-
ians were forbidden to be soldiers. "The
huge sums spent on war machines
could better be used for social im-
provements that will be far more pro-
fitable to civilization," he said. Rob-
inson won his case by a 31 to 13 vote.

Members of the audience wrote on
their ballots two other conditions un-
der which they thought war would be
justified. Two believed themselves will-
ing to go to war in defense of a weak
nation, and five declared that they
would go to war only if their country
were invaded

The program was arranged by Ho-
ward Davis and Ellen Sauer, program
secretaries of the Peace Forum.

President Lloyd
> Conducts Chapel

Wednesday morning in chapel, Dr.
Ralph W. Lloyd spoke briefly on the
subject "Popularity." Using as refer-
ence Proverbs 22:1 and Luke 16:26, he
listed the three points popularity in-
volves.

"First," Dr. Lloyd stated, "popularity
is worth something." He then referred
to Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is
rather to be chosen than great riches,
and a good reputation rather than sil-
ver and gold," as he paraphrased it.
"'The . usual conception of a popular
person," he explained, "is one of the
'hale fellow, well-met' type." He then
contrasted this type with that referred
to in Proverbs. The man or women of
good name and good reputation is, in
his opinion, much more deserving of
popularity.

Dr, Lloyd's second point wa3 that
popularity costs something. Here he
used several humorous illustrations to
show what he did not mean by this
statement. "Popularity cannot be pur-
chased in book form," he stated. "Such
books as 1000 Witty Sayings,' which
are guaranteed to make you the 'life
of the party', and other literature of
the "How to Become Popular in Three
Easy Lessons' class are not printed to
make a popular person of you, but to
make a wealthy person of the author.
Popularity does cost something, but
not money." A sincere interest in other
people and a loyalty to other people is
part of the cost. A pleasing personality
is another. The blustery individual, the
cynical person, the melancholy boy or
girl may be well-known, but that per-
son is not well-liked. A smile however,
instead of a frown, has opened the gates
of popularity to many.

The third point is that popularity
endangers something. Here Dr. Lloyd
referred to Luke 16:26, "Woe unto you,
when all men shall speak well of you.':
He stressed the point that if one is pop-
ular, or would be popular, he must be-
ware of two things, the lack of re-
spect popularity often causes and the
self-interest it often develops. To be
popular, one must command respect
and he must be of service to others.
Without either, popularity is shallow
and uncertain.

Dr. Lloyd closed his talk with the
admonition to seek popularity, but not
at the expense of one's good name.

Fencing Class Is
Begun By Clark

Twenty- three girls are enrolled in
a fencing class which is being conduct-
ed by Vernon Clark, a junior. Clark
has had experience in this line of sports
and when he was at Maryville two
years ago, he held a class in fencing
for women.

The group has been meeting for sev-
eral weeks on Wednesday andl Friday
afternoons at 4:00. Instruction will be
the important part for two or three
months, and then the girls will begin
the actual fencing.

Clark says that there are many in
the class who show possibilities in
fencing. Lynn Tyndall, who was in the
class when it was conducted two years
ago, is considered the best girl fencer
on the Hill.

The class is evenly divided between
lower and upper classmen.

LOVVE IMPROVES

Larry Lowe, who has been confined
to hk> bed for several weeks with a
broken leg, is steadily improving. A
number of the men of the college have
been spemling nights with him at the
hospital, thus eliminating the service of
a night nurse.

CHOIR IS TYPICAL

(Continued from Page One)
like an older sister to the girls who
range in age from seventeen to twenty-
three. She is a brilliant historian and
student of arts and letters, and in these
fields she has more than compensated
for the lack of advanced formal studies
of the girls.

Rupert, the oldest boy, and the bas-
so of the choir, just completed his
medical studies and took his final ex-
aminations in June, 1938. Werner, the
tenor, is an excellent hunter and sail-
or and an expert on skiis. With Ru-
pert he has taken college work at Inns-
bruck, but has chosen to study music
rather than medicine. Agathe and Hed-
wig are the two housekeepers of the
family. Agathe paints as a hobby, but
to Hedwig has fallen the task of tak-
ing care of the two younger children.
Both girls are skiing enthusiasts. Marie
is very good at ornamental wood-car-
ving as well as taking care of the aux-
iliary engine on the yacht when the
family is cruising. Joan enjoys cook-
ing, painting, and embroidery and is the
best swimmer of the girls. Martina, the
youngest member of the choir, is also
the humor department. In addition to
making fun for all the family, she does
caricatures, keeps goldfish and looks
after the gardens around the estate.

Franz Wasner may almost be con-
sidered a member of the Trapp family,
too, as he has been working with them
constantly for four years. This young
clergyman is a doctor of philosophy and
theology as well as a musician. He stu-
died theory, piano, and organ in Rome
and for some time held the post of or-
ganist at the Austrian national church
there, Saint Maria dell' anima. Several
of his compositions, notably a large
choral work, have been performed in
the famous old Cathedral of Salzburg.
Their informality and unpretentious-
stage presence, their quaint (native
costumes and the unparalelled loveli-
ness of their voices have made the
Salzburg Trapp choir concerts favor-
ites throughout Europe.

ber of the current Maryville college
Artist series, will appear Tuesday ev-
ening at 8:15 in Voorhees chapel. This
unique musical organization, the wife
and seven children of the famous Au-
trian undersease hero and author,
Count George von Trapp, is directed
by Dr. Franz Wasner, noted young
clergyman, organist and composer.

Their program, chosen from an ex-
tensive repertoire of over 500 songs,
is widely varied and includes selections
from the works of the old masters, re-
presentative lieder by native Austrian
composers, folksongs and mountain
calls, and instrumental numbers by
the ensemble on "block flutes." The
Trapp choir is the only professional
group performing on these archiac
instruments today. Forerunners of the
modern wood winds, the block flutes
were most popular during the 16th cen-
tury, and these versatile young
artists have not only mastered the
technique, but have revived the con-
temporary music composed for th^m.

The introductory group will consist
of chorales and motets by Bach, di
Lasso, Purcell, Gibbons, and Greaves,
most familiar of which is Bach's "How
Beautifully Shines the Morning Star."
In the following a-capella group will
be heard music of the famous Salz-
burg masters including a Mozart "Ave
Maria," and Schubert's "Linden Tree."
Many of the songs of Schubert and

Frosh Elect Moore,
Stringham, Wilcox,
Hunt New Officers

Dudley Moore, of Lorain, Ohio, was
elected president of the freslynan class
Wednesday morning after chapel. Jean
Stringham of St. Louis, Mo., was cho-
sen vice president.

Other officers elected were Martha
Wilcox, secretary, and Troy Hunt,
treasurer. Samuel Pickens and Linda
Robinson were selected to represent
the freshman class in the student coun-
cil.

In high school the new president
was manager of the basketball and
track teams, a member of the band,
and was appointed to several senior
committees. He graduated in June,
1937, and since has been employed by
the Sears, Roebuck Co. in Lorain as
clerk.

In opening the nominations, Robert
Martin, president of the student coun-
cil, stated that nominations would be
made from the floor instead of by the
nominating committee. "In other
years," he said, "politics has played too
prominent a part in the choosing of
the freshmen officers. To avoid that,
the student council thought it best to
use this system of nominating your
candidates." Charlotte Colby acted as
secretary of the meeting.

for this choir by their director, Dr
Wasner, the choral settings having
been derived from the original piano
accompaniments which, as in the case
of Schubert, were an integral part of
the song.

The music for the block flutes has
been selected from among the many
pavanes, canons, chorlaes, marches, and
polonaises composed for these popular
instruments in the 16th century. The
composers are almost entirely unknown
in the present day because of the dis-
appearance of the instrument for which
they composed from the modern orch-
estra.

For the concluding section of the
program, the young singers will appear
in costume to reproduce the folksongs
and mountain calls of their homeland,
authentically and with all the spirit of
native Austrians. These carefree songs
and melodies tell of the ir\born gaiety

Dr. Hunter Talks To Group

On "Objectives in The

Study of Poetry"

Maryville college was well represent-
ed by students and members of the
faculty at the Carl Sandburg lectures
given today in connection with the
East Tennessee Education association
convention being held this week on the
campus of the University of Tennessee.
Mr. Sandburg gave two lectures, the
first at ten o'clock this morning, when
he spoke before a general session of
the convention in the Alumni Memor-
ial auditorium on the subject "A Mor-
ning with Carl Sandburg." The second
lecture was at 2:30 this afternoon,
when he spoke before the English sec-
tion of the ETEA on the topic, "Hya-
cinth Biscuits, or What is Art and
When?"

Carl Sandburg is one of the foremost
writers in America today. Born in 1875
of Swedish parents, he received his
education in Lombard college, Gales-
burg, Illinois, where he worked his way
by ringing bells, sweeping floors and
doing other kinds of janitor work. He
later enlisted for the Spanish-American
war. His work first received attention
in 1914, when his poem, "Chicago," ap-
peared in the magazine,

Thirty members of the class of 1938
are taking graduate work at the var-
ious schools and universities over the
country. Four members of the class
are taking medicine, three are studying
nursing, and five are studying in theo-
logical seminaries. For the most part
the remainder are working on their
master's degree.

Gordon Harold, '27, resigned his
pastorate at Mt. Holly, New Jersey, in
order that he might take up advance
study in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Those of the class of '38 taking ad-
vanced work are Winifred Berst — Pea-

Fifteen Employed In Printing Program

By PAULINE COPE

Tuesday is not merely the day after
Monday, but brings with it the enor-
mous and weighty responsibility of
filling out an honor report in chapel.
And incidentally those little white,
blue and yellow printed slips in the
library are not made for decorative
purposes, but are placed there for a
definite reason. Of course, you know
these things; they are quite obvious.
The point at hand, however, is not
concerned with the purpose of such
printed matter, but rather with the
fact that this material is printed here
at Maryville college.

The printing press, one of the most
interesting and beneficial agencies on
the campus, is at the same time one of
the least publicized and acknowledged
Indeed, few students are conscious of
the fact that such an agency exists
here and are even les? cognizant of

the importance of the work perform-
ed.

Located on the first floor of Ander-
son hall, the printing equipment con-
sists of a multigraph machine and a
mimeograph machine. This work in
typing and printing is one of the most
important phases of the student help
program and now employs approxi-
mately fifteen students. Last year 852
jobs of printing were done for the
various departments in college, and al-
though only twelve students were then
employed, the payroll in the printing
department alone reached $598.

The printing and mimeographing
done by this department is varied and
extensive in scope. Program*— for
commencement, plays, and Founder's
day— are printed; tests and examina-
tions are mimeographed • syllabi are
made for the history, Bible and home
economics departments; and tickets,
leterheads, office forms, library slips,

honor reports, copy work and time
sheets have also been done by this
department. In addition to such gene-
ral work, the printing agency has cop-
ied music and has printed mountain
ballads which Miss Home and a few
students have been collecting and
which, after the printing, are put into
the college vault for preservation. Per-
haps the finest an J most delicate work
of this agency ha been lone for the
class in costume designing, and for
the biology department In these two,
some very nice stylus work has been
done in cutting stencils of costumes,
diagrams, and maps— work which re-
quires infinte precision and painstak-
ing care.

Although the work in printing was
done formerly through the student
help office, it is being carried on this
year through the Alumni office, un-
der the able supervision of Miss Gene-
va Hutchinson.

The football game this evening with
Lenoir-Rhynt college, and the chapel
service tomorrow morning commem-
orating the life and works of Professor
Gideon S. W. Crawford, member of
the Maryville faculty from 1874 to
1891, mark the highlights of the sixth
annual Homecoming and Founder's
Day programs held on the Maryvilla,
college campus.

The Founder's Day service, which
begins at 8:10 Saturday morning in
Voorhees chapel, will include intro-
ductory remarks on the "Place of
Professor Crawford in the History of
Maryville college" by President Ralph
W. Lloyd; and two speeches, "Profes-
sor Crawford Through the Eyes of a
Student" by Dr. Charles C. McGinley,
and "Professor Crawford Through the
Eyes of a Son" by Mr. Jonh C. Craw-
ford,

Dr. William P. Stevenson, college
pastor, will give the prayer of invoca-
tion; and the college choir, under the
direction of Mr. Ralph R. Colbert,
will sing "O Morn of Beauty," writ-
ten to the tune "Finlandia" by Jan
Sibelius, and "O Praise the Lord" by
Tschaikowsky,

Dr. McGinley, the second speaker, is
traveling from his home in Independ-
ence, Mo., for this service. He was
graduated from Maryville college in
1891, the same year that Professor
Crawford died. The third speaker,
Judge Crawford, is a resident of Mary-
ville and a graduate of the class of
1897.

The registration of alumni this after-
noon at 5 o'clock in the Alumni gym
begins the Homecoming program. At
5:30 there is to be a barbecue on the
baseball field for all alumni and former
students. This is to be followed by a
program in the gymnasium; and the
Homecoming football game with Len-
oir-Rhyne college of Hickory, N. C, at
7:30 on Wilson Field, climaxes, the
Homecoming day celebration.

According to an announcement made
through the president's office visitors
are cordially invited to attend the
Founder's day program tomorrow
morning.

Welcome Back, Homecomers !

Welcome back, Homecomers! And we wish you a
happy visit with us!

We feel proud that you have taken the time and the
trouble to come here to spend a short while at Maryville
again. Your coming makes us feel that there is something
here worth the effort you made in coming.

We undergraduates cannot know exactly why you left
the affairs which concern you at home or elsewhere to
visit Maryville today. But we believe that it is because
Maryville is a vital part of you; that the years you spent
here were years of a developing attachment between you
and everything that is Maryville college. We hope that the
experiences of this Homecoming day will give you all an
even, greater affection for and interest in your Maryville
College, ,.,;! 1 1«

In Appropriate Climax

Know how they welcomed the prodigal son on his
return home? We of this column aren't going to welcome
home-coming alumni in any such expressive fashion. We
aren't even going to "take this opportunity to express to
you our most hearty welcome." We think it's a waste of
time and open arms when every other column in this
publication will doubtless do so anyway. We are sure that
when we are old grads, knowing the friendly and home-
like atmosphere which has always been a Maryville tra-
dition, we shall take our welcome for granted. You will
no doubt find other things besides the atmosphere un-
changed. Some institutions such as moonshining, orange and
garnet, and the night watchman are enternal. Others will
be different, as witness: our tower bell, injured last spring
beyond all hope of recovery and now retired from active
service.

If you were to stick around these parts until exam
time we might be tempted to put you on exhibit as speci-
mans of miracle men who lived through the battle and
came out unscathed. As you probably won't, we shall mere-
ly gaze at you curiously, trying to learn in one easy lesson
just How to Succeed When Handicapped by College Edu-
cation. At any rate, we shall do our dead level best to
make you wonder "Those kids. Did I ever act like that?"

(Dignified seniors not included, naturally).

For thoughtiest attitude — to Professor Howell, with

focused on chandelier.

For greatest enjoyment — to Harriet Barber, who
completely turns her back to the person on her right and
her face toward the speaker, listens with twinkling eyes
and frequent smile or low laugh.

For perfect poise — to Inge Jung, who is the picture of
grace, ease, and understanding attention.

For blessed comfort — to Quentin Myers, who with
arms on balcony rail, head on arms, and feet sticking from
under the curtain, sleeps blissfully through it all.

These awards were made only after hours of deep
deliberation by the capable judge, even the casual obser-
ver. They are absolutely with malice toward none and
prejudice toward same. We are confident that the Found-
er's Day service, though promising a new and varied pro-
gram, will in no way disqualify the winners or necessitate
the revoking of their prizes. Besides, the judge happens to
be the type who never changes his mind, even when it
needs it.

Triangle Club To Have
Old Hayloft Program
For Hicks On Nov. 5

In appropriate climax to the sixth annual commemor-
ation of the founding of the college, the faculty of the
Fine Arts department is presenting this evening its third
annual formal recital. At this one time during the college
year the teachers of music and dramatics demonstrate to
the students and their fellow faculty members their inti-
mate knowledge of the theory and practice of their re-
spective arts.

The two previous concerts of this series have been
outstanding artistic successes. At the recital two years ago
Maryville was introduced to its new music faculty in a,
manner highly conducive to future benefit. Last year
concert-qoers were given the added privilege of witness-
ing trie talented performance of a Maryville alumna, Mrs.
Annarine Atkins Hamilton, returning to the college as an
instructor in dramatic art. This year also there is a new-
comer to the program, Miss Ruth Thompson, instructor in
music, who will sing and play the piano during the recital.
On the basis of their training and experience, a typically
representative performance is expected from her and from
the other members of the department. Many alumni, visit-
ing on the campus during the Homecoming program, will
find the recital worthy of their interest, attention, and
approval.

At Carnegie— "Hey, when are you guys going to let
a fellow in that shower? What you tryin' to do, wash your-
self away?" "You know, Bill, there's one time when a
woman comes in handy and that's when you gotta fix a
tie like this." "Yeah, well kindly wait a minute before you
go callin' any in." "Anybody seen a ticket to the concert?
Had it in my pocket just the other day." "Did you try
lookin' in your other pants?"

At Memorial— "Say, what do they do at these formal
dinners, anyway? I wonder if theyll have a mile of silver
at your place." "No, darling, they don't own that much.
You'll survive." "Do you honestly think we'll get our
money's worth at this Sallysburg Trapp thing?" "Silly, it's
Salzburg, and it's a choir, and it sounds super to me."

At Baldwin— "Gee, sweet, you're a knockout." "Hope
Jack thinks so." "Hey, kid, you got an extra hairpin? How
about lending it? I'll pay interest." "Sure thing. Anything
else I could lend your highness, such an an ermine wrap,
a diamond ring, or some orchids." "Somebody please come
and sew me into this; I'll get out of it by myself."

At Bartlett— "Some of you dopes better get a wiggle
on. Formal or no formal, dinner still starts sometime be-
fore midnight." "Oh, what's your hurry? No matter when
you go you can count on waitin' ten minutes for your girl
to get rigged up." "Not mine!" "Say, somebody help me
out. I gotta date for the concert and can't go." "Well, if
you're not the jealous type you might be able to sell Smith
a little moonshine." "No, on the contrary, you'll have to
pay me to take her."

At Pearson's— "Say, who ran off with those priceless
scissors?" "Do you honestly think we're going to have
enough crepe paper?" "Where's the guy with the candles?
Who does he think he is, holdin' up the whole performance
like this?" "Boy, is that swing band the stuff! Wonder if
we're going to hear from them tonight on the program."
"Kindly remove your feet from my eye, young lady, and
I'll attempt to assist you in beautifying these sacred walls."
"Please may I borrow the hammer and my hand for just
a minute.'' "I'll hold and you hit hard. And be sure you
aim at the tack " - i . . ... , _ ,

And now, just in case that homecoming, a big foot-
ball game, Founder's Day, dinner out on Sunday, more
good food at the formal dinner, Halloween, moonlight, cold
mornings, a heavy date for dinner and the concert, too
much good music, fancy clothes, and the week-end in gen-
eral should foster too little wise and too much otherwise
perhaps we had best consult our ancient eage, Confuse Us,
who says:

"Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and lifest up thy
voice for understanding, remember thou this eternal truth,

merry heart maketh a hopelessly low report card, and a
hopelessly low report card change* the cheerful eounten-

The Triangle club, composed of stu-
dents from Pennsylvania, New York,
and New Jersey, is planning a hayseed
party for November 5. A straw ride,
farm games, and an old hayloft pro-
gram in the evening are part of the
program.

The wagons will leave from the cam-
pus for the college farm at 2:30 and
3 o'clock. The persons going will dress
as country hicks and will play games
in the pasture of the farm. In the ev-
ening there will be supper around the
campfire to be followed by an enter-
tainment carrying out the farm idea.
The committee announces that "Grand-
pappy> Lulu Belle, the Hay-Seeders,
and all the farm hands will be there."

Tickets for the party are fifteen
cents and are being sold by Marie Jen-
sen, Margaret Knox, Vaughn Lyons,
and Phil Evaul. All students from the
three northern states are invited to
the party.

THE BIG BAD BEARS??

It looks as though Maryville's line is going to be out-
weighed again tonight. In looking over the lineup of the
Bruins we find that they have a pair of ends both tipping
the scales at over 170 pounds; they also have a couple of
bruisers at guard, one tipping the beam at 180 and the
other at 192. Their tackles weigh well over 180 pounds
each. And their center is about the smallest man on the
line, he only weights a mere 170 pounds. Well, you know
the old saying that "the bigger they come the harder they
fall."

Razzle- Dazzle, Maybe!

So far, most the Highlander's football has been
straight, hard pounding, line plunging football. They
haven't had to take to the air yet, except in the Union
game, which we hope is past history by now. Tonight,
playing against a big line, the backs and ends may be
forced to fill the sky with a few bullets in the form of
passes. The aerial attack should click, with either Tom
Taylor or Joe Etheredge on the receiving end of some of
Scotty Honaker's pitches. And believe you me, he can
really sling them when he has to.

So be on the lookout tonight, fans, for some razzle-
dazzle football, that we may have under our hats in case
of an emergency.

LOWE RECUPERATING—

Tonight, Lawrence Lowe will be on the sidelines
watching the game between the Bears and Scotties. Lowe,
who broke his leg earlier in the season, had his leg set last
week, and it is now in a cast, and special arrangements
will be made for him in the stands. Lot's of luck Lawrence,
and we sincerely hope you enjoy the game.

A VOTE OF THANKS—

Last night at the pep-meeting we noticed a distinct
improvement in our cheerleaders. We haven't said much
about them yet this year, feeling that perhaps they had
received enough publicity; but their fine work this year,
we think, really deserves some praise. We had our doubts
at the beginning of the year, about this matter of girl
cheerleaders, but their showing in the last games and at
the pep-meetings has convinced us. As far as that goes,
the band has added a lot to the spirit at the football games
and the pep-meetings, too. It makes a lot of difference to
the team wheher or not the crowd is with them vocally or
not.

MORE TOUGH LUCK—

It seems as though hard luck dogs us at every cross-
ing, and by that we mean Union last week. Maryville cer-
tainly received a tough blow when J. D. Hughes was in-
jured in the Bulldog game. He probably won't be able to
be in the lineup much tonight, and believe me, worthy
fans, we certainly will miss him.

The Union Bulldogs edged out the
Scotties 13-7 last Saturday at Bar-
bourville, Kentucky, in a hard- fought
upset.

Maryville, handicapped by injuries
was pushed far back in their own
territory by the big team's punting
end, time and again. It was probably
this, and the fact that Garner was un-
able to return the stellar Farmer's
punts that lost the game for Mary-
ville. Stafura also aided in the setback
by living up to his little Ail-American
rating in blocking and fancy running.
Little Scotty Honaker and "High
School" Hughes played good ball for
the Highlanders.

Maryville played the game to Union
in the first half staying deep in Bull-
dog territory. In the last minutes of
the second quarter, after Hughes and
Hunt alternated on line plunges, Hon-
aker swept around a flank from the
ten yard line to score for Maryville.
The half ended: Maryville 7, Union 0.
The Bulldogs came right back, how-
ever, in the second half to set the
Scotties on their heels with a gain of
thirty yards on an exchange of punts
and finally scored by air after they
blocked a kick on the 15, Stafura toss-
ing to Eliot. Farmer, the big right end
who averaged practically 60 yards per
boot, again showed his skill to convert
the extra point with a place kick. This
tied up the ball kame. The Scots stag-
ed a comeback fighting down to the
thirty, but lost the ball on downs. With
the series of end runs and reverses,
the Bulldogs charged back down the
field to the 2 yard line and plunged
over for the final counter. The game
ended as the Scots lost the ball deep
in Union territory.
Score: Maryville 7, Union 13.

THE HIGHLAND ECHO OCTOBER 28, 1938_

Maryville Faces
Tornadoes Friday

The Maryville Highlanders tackle the
King College Tornadoes next Friday
night at Wilson Field in what promises
to be their hardest conference game.

The huge King team will meet Mary-
ville with a perfect conference record.
They have defeated so far this year,
East Tennessee Teachers 37-0, Cum-
berland U. 12-6, Tennessee Wesleyan
25-7, and in their only out-of-confer-
ence game held Emory and Henry to
a scoreless deadlock. Emory and Henry
is rated this year, as one of the coun-
try's best small teams.

King college is one of Maryville's
traditional enemies. They have not
beaten Maryville, however, since 1928.
In 1936, they held Maryville to a 7-7
tie, but last year the Scotties rolled
over them 20-0.

The King team is unusually large,
boasting a 190 pound line from end to
end, and a 185 pound backfield. This is
a considerable advantage when put
up against Maryville's 165 pound line.
They also have a fine triple-threat back
in Claybaugh. The Scotties should have
Joe Etheredge and Garner back in the
lineup for this game.

Cross-Country Team Leaves
For Ga.-Tech Meet Today

This afternoon six members of the
Maryville college cross-country team
left for Atlanta, Georgia, where they
will have a meet with the cross-
country team from Georgia Tech.

The race will be about three and a
half miles in length, and will be run
Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. The
team will arrive Friday afternoon, and
will spend Friday and Saturday night
in Atlanta and will return Sunday
morning. The men who will make the
trip are: Weldon Baird, Everett Gray,
Gene Orr, William Mooney, Vernon
Lloyd, and Al Davies. They will be
accompanied by Professor Smith.

The Juniors are leading the inter-
class touch football league, and it
looks as if they might stay there. They
won over the Seniors, Tuesday, 14 to 0.
The Seniors held the game scoreless
in the first half but the Juniors scor-
ed early in the third quarter on a pass
from Morrow to Herrich. "Junior"
made another, and very difficult catch,
and the extra point was good.

In the fourth quarter Etheredge made
the greatest run of the year for 6
point. "T" intercepted a Senior pass
and followed his interference through
the entire Senior team. His race last-
ed across three-fourths of the field
and carried the ball through holes that
didn't appear large enough for the
pigskin without "T." Stevenson caught
a pass for the extra point.

Walker brought the Junior kickoff
back on a fast and shifty run that
looked as if it might duplicate Ether-
edge's jaunt, but he was tagged by
the alert Juniors. Later the Seniors
headed for a sure score with five suc-
cessive complete passes, Meares snag-
ged three and Walker two, but the
touchdown and the game were lost
when Morrow intercepted for the Jun-
iors.

the two teams played to a scoreless tie.
The year before the Scots were barely
able to eke out a 2-0 victory over the
Lenoir-Rhyne boys. From the indica-
tions of these two games, the teams
should be ready to battle it out tonight
in a big way. Maryville may have the
slight edge, but since her defeat at the
hands of Union college last week, it
looks as though no one will be the
favorite, and the two teams will pro-
bably enter I the fray on even terms.
Maryville will be seriously handicap-
ped by the loss of J. D. Hughes, one
of the stellar backs of the conference.
Hughes injured his ankle at Barbour-
ville last week, and will not be able to
see very much service tonight, if any
at all. George Garner and Joe Eth-
eredge may be back however, and they
may spell the difference between vic-
tory and defeat for the Highlanders.
Both were on the sidelines at the Union
game due to injuries.

Maryville will be considerably out-
weighed tonight, but their work against
a heavier Tennessee Wesleyan team
two weeks ago proved that she could
be capable of taking a heavier team
without too much difficulty.

King's Dilemma,,
Is Scheduled For
December Sixth

Social Committee Sponsors

Professional Troupe

In Comedy

The Coffer-Miller players, a pro-
fessional troupe, will present a three-
act comedy, "The King's Dilemma,"
here on December 6, as a benefit for
1he activities planned by the social
committee. Tickets will be thirty-five
cents.

"The King's Dilemma" is a three act
comedy which deals with one of Henry
VIII's marital difficulties. Martha Mil-
ler takes the part of Lady Anna von
Cleves, the fourth wife of Henry the
Eighth. Henry the Eighth is played by
Jess Coffer. This historical duo drama
is not only said by the critics to be a
good play, but also is an interesting
bit of history as well.

The dilemmas of Henry VHI were
many, but his most serious ones were
centered about his wives. He married
six times. Each wife he used as a step-
ping stone politically. So, whenever
Henry took a wife the political wind
changed. His marriage to Anna von
Cleves, daughter of a German duke,
is the one chapter in his recorded mari-
tal life that affords a hearty iaugh.
Henry was completely outdone by the
little German princess, Anna. Though
he divorced her he paid for the privi-
lege handsomely in money, estates,
clothes, jewels. It was no small trick
for a girl to save her head from the
block in playing the marriage game
with Henry. But Anna did it. When she
died, they buried her in Westminster
Abbey.

There are many laughable situations
in the play. Both Anna and Henry are
difficult roles to play, but Martha
Miller and Jess Coffer come through
with high honors.

Varsity Debate Class
Hears 1939 Question
Discussed At Meeting

Faculty Nominates Twelve Students
For Election To Scholastic Who's Who

Character, Scholarship, Leadership, Main Considerations

As Committee Selects Students

For Honorary List

Twelve Mary ville college upper- tics, is a member of Athenian Literary
classment, including Weldon Baird, ! society, president of the YMCA of
Helen Bewley, Helen Bobo, Curtmarie , which he has also been treasurer. He

Brown, George Felknor, Sara Lee Hel-
iums, Arnold Kramer, Marvin Minear,
Bruce Morgan, Clifford Proctor, Louise
Proffitt, and Fred Rhody, have been
nominated for membership in the
Who's Who Among Students in Am-
erican Universities and Colleges, ac-
cording to letters received this week
by the nominees from the University
of Alabama.

The "Who's Who" publication, issued
annually by the University of Alabama,
includes students who are selected on
the basis of the nomination made by
the individaul colleges. Last year the
student-faculty committee made the
Mary ville nominations; but this year
the matter was handled by the faculty
alone.

Four things are taken into consider-
ation in electing members for this
group: character, scholarship, leader-
ship in extra-curricular activities, and
potential future use for business and
society. Nomination by the colleges is
tantamount to election by the "Who's
Who" headquarters at Alabama.

Members of the varsity debate class
met last Tuesday evening in ' Thaw
hall for their usual weekly meeting.
Arlene Phelps introduced the speakers
of the evening who talked on various
phases of the debate subject, Resolved,
that the United States should cease to
use public funds for the purpose of
stimulating business. Speakers were
Ruth Kort Kamp, Bob Lamont, and
Bill Felknor.

Following the custom of devoting a
part of each meeting to some type of
speech other than debate, Warren Ash-
by and Albert Rosser made extempo-
raneous speeches. Rosser spoke on the
prospective Democratic candidates for
1940, and Ashby spoke on the Republi-
can possibilities.

Judge Hugh L. Smith
Summons Donald Kent
To Appear In Court

Donald Kent has been summoned to
appear before the District Court of
Blant County on November 9 to ans-
wer charges instituted by Edward A.
Jussley of theft and attempt to defame
character. The trial will take place at
the usual fall term of the court and
will be held in Athenian hall, unless
the court designates some other place
for this particular trial.

The summons was issued on October
28, 1938, by his Honor Hugh L. Smith,
judge of the court, and Louise Proffitt,
as clerk.

Kent is ably represented by A.
Kramer, G. Young, and J. Ballenger.
Kramer's reputation as a defense at-
torney is known throughout the nation
for the part he took in the trial which
resulted in the dismissal of Killer-Dil-
ler Gunner last December from the fif-
teen counts of fratricide instituted
against Gunner in this county.

Young is likewise a nationally known
figure, and his ability to win hopeless
cases is known to every school child.
J. Ballenger, although a newcomer to
the local bar, is gaining rapidly in
fame, and this case is expected to bring
out all of his powers.

Representing the commonwealth will
be H. Brown, G. Findley, and E. Jus-
sley. This combination is known for its
part in the breaking up and conviction
of the "Black Band Gang" that held
all Maryville in its toils last year.
These men arc fearless individuals

The Chilhowean staff is attempting
to have all copy in by February 1,

Local Churches

World pence will be the theme of
the chapel service Friday morning. The
end of the Great War will be com-
memoratfd in a special Armistice Day
program by the college and partici-
pated in by the College Peace Forum.
tki two Y organizations on the cam-
pus, which are sponsors of the Peace
Forum, will also be represented in the

The service will be built around the
Kellogg Briand Pact for the outlawry
of war. This pact was signed by more
than sixty nations who renounced war
as an instrument of national policy.
Although repudiated today by many of
its most important signers, the treaty
still stands as a pacifist ideal.

The most significant parts of this
Peace Pact will be read to the audi-
ence. Mimeographed copies of parts of
the service will be handed out for re-
sponsive reading. The college choir
will sing a hymn appropriate to the
theme of the service.

Much of the work for the play "Tov-
arich" to be presented by the College
Players on Friday evening, November
18, has been completed and the re-
mainder is progressing rapidly, accord-
ing to a statement released today by
John Fisher, stage manager.

The play calls for four sets. The first,
an attic scene, laid in the heart of the
slums of Paris, will show the charac-
teristic broken, gray plaster, reveal-
ing red brick walls. The second scene,
a boudoir, will consist of white walls
and brown paneled wainscoating. The
drawing-room set will be done in oak
paneling. The last set, the kitchen, will
have white wails, set off by three feet
of black tiling. The three latter scenes
are laid in the home of M. Charles Du-
pont, a wealthy Paris banker. The sets
were designed by John Wintermute
and John Fisher. William Gehres is in
charge of the painting of the sets.

The costuming of the play is under
the direction of Arda Walker and Sar-
ah Bolton. Curtmarie Brown, business
manager of the production has also
announced an extensive advertising
and ticket selling campaign to begin
next week. An announcement of the
play was made during the half of the
Maryville-King football game. Pos-
ters and signs will be placed through
the main portion of town.

Tickets will go on sale during the
early part of next week and will be
sold each night after supper in Pear-
son's lobby. They may also be pur-
chased at the Y store, at all local
schools, and at Rickett's, Chandler &
Singleton's and Proffitt's department
store.

The play, under the direction of Mrs.
Nita K West, is judged by Malcolm
Miller, Knoxville Journal dramatic
critic, to be one of the most difficult
productions ever to be undertaken by
a Maryville college cast.

Eve Curie's life of her mother, Madame
Curie.

Margaret Halsey accompanied her
husband to England recently when he
was appointed an exchange professor
to a British university. Her experiences
on the Atlantic trip and with the Eng-
lish are recorded in an inimitable
style in "With Malice Towards Some,"
which has been called by the Atlantic
Monthly "the most hilarious reading of
the year."

"The American Dream," by Foster,
is the story of a young newspaper man
who discovers some old family letters
and diaries which take him back three
generations. Bit by bit he builds up a
picture of his family, and. as he builds
this picture he discovers the American
dream which had been the guiding
spirit of his forefathers.

The Eve Curie biography of her mo-
ther, "Madame Curie," was first a suc-
cessful magazine story before it was
published in book form. It was one of

A Setting For Pageantry

During the Autumn season a trip to the mountains is
a glorious experience: at no other time of year are the
views so beautiful and those who have the opportunity of
going and seeing the changing colors and the falling leaves
in the Great Smokies are fortunate, indeed.

But most of us stay here at college, with little or no
chance to enjoy the beauties and pleasures of mountain-
hiking these Fall day& For us, our college campus .pro-
vides the setting for Nature's Autumn pageantry.

Few colleges anywhere in the country have grounds
superior to ours in beauty. Particularly during this Au-
tumn season do we appreciate the loveliness of our cam-
pus. Improvements— such as the removal of the present
power plant, the building of the new entrance, and the
circle drive— all help greatly in making our naturally at-
tractive campus even more beautiful.

A Real Pleasure

It is a real pleasure to hear that negotiations are pend-
ing for the attendance of the entire band and dirli squad
of East Tennessee Teachers college at the 1938 nenewal of
the Teachers-Scotty football series next Friday afternoon
on Wilson field.

We count this a pleasure because we feel that such, an
event is only too rare in the history of our intercollegiate
athletic relations. Many are the benefits which accrue from
such courtesies— benefits in finer intra-conference under-
standing and better individual understanding of the students
of the schools. Thus we can say with true warmth that
Maryville and its students will treat the visiting students
and band with whole hearted hospitality during their
stay on the campus.

But someimes such relations lapse for want of two
sided cooperation. Participation of Maryville students in
«uch trips is not unprecedented— for example the Maryville
students and band visited the University of Tennessee for
the U. T.-Maryville game two years ago. Would it not be
conducive to a fitting fulfillment of our gridiron tradition
for us to make more frequent these visits to other schools?

SHORT, SHORT, SHORT STORIES

The Day of the Big Game dawned Bright and Crisp.
The whole Campus buzzed with Excitement: Would Yippy-
ville defeat its old rival, Yappyvale? One hour before
Game Time, the President called into his Office "Flash"
Swift, Yippyville's star back, and Only Hope to win the
Game.

"Flash," said the President in a Kindly yet Firm
Voice, "Flash, you're failing Poetry Appreciated 201. I'm
going to be White and give you a Special Examination
right now. If you Pass, you play today against Yappyvale.
If you Flunk — I'm s-sorry, old man. Remember, Yippyvilie
is counting on you, boy!

Coach McGurk looked nervously at his Watch: Two
Seconds till game time, and Flash Swift, Yippyville's Only
Hope, hadn't made his appearance! Just as the Opening
whistle blew, and McGurk looked around Hopelessly for
someone to put in Flash's place, a Running Figure rushed
Breathlessly through the crowd which overflowed the
stands onto the field: it was Flash, struggling into his mole-
skins! "I've Passed!" he shouted Reassuringly, yet Modest-
ly, to the hysterically joyous Throng

P. S. Flash played a Rather Poor game. He broke his
Nose in the last quarter, but Otherwise ha did Nothing
Outstanding. Yippyvilie lost.

FRESHMUN FUNN

By CAP'N BELLS

With the election of Dudley Moore to the presidency,
it looks like the freshman class will be getting a social New
Deal (without the debt).

Treasurer Hunt has found his friends have increased
tenfold now that he handles the freshman funds. Bet he's
heard, "Let's split it two ways and skip town" so many
times, he wonders if there is anybody honest in the world.
We two are still here, Troy. Ahem, do you suppose we
could work it? Are you a man or a sophomore? We could
always claim we were kidnapped by a Man from Mars.

Who thinks "Joe" Holman is the "cutest little thing"?
Just ask him. I double dare ya!

Fifteen "RAH's" for Captain Wilson, who was injured
Tuesday in the frosh-senior touch football fracas. The
frosh will win you a game yet, Wilson. Perhaps, if some
of the freshgirls would sorta inspire some of the fresh-
boys, they might even beat those big ol' juAiors.

Re: last week's Wastebaskitem about Quentin Myers
sleeping through chapel. Sir Myers insists that he wasn't
asleep. He claims he was just "resting his eyes." And
exercising his tonsils? - «

That formal dinner was a bit of all right. Candlelight,
soft music, you and I alone at a table with six others — ah,
romance. The Penn-Jersey-York club deserves a 6ig__ hand
for their decorations and the atmosphere they helped to
create, (and the dandy advertising they're giving the
World's Fair).

DANN CUPID

Now the fly in my soup

Is the guy in my group

Who wants to arrange for my dating.

First he "rates" the whole crop,

Then picks me the "top".

His weakness, I've found, is his "rating".

There's never a beauty,

Or stunner, or cutie;

Perhaps he believes I don't "rate" 'em.

But whether or not

I've deserved what I've got,

I don't just dislike 'em, I hate 'em.

When my appetite sinks,

It's my buddy who thinks,

"It's nothing, I'm sure, that is chronic.

Diagnosing his case,

From the look on his face,

He needs a romance for a tonic."

But strictly between us,

I'll find my own venus;

To let my old friend would be stupid.

He's all right in his way,

But he is, I must say,

A bum imitation of Cupid.

any attempt of violence on the part
of the over excited mob that is ex-

LAST NIGHT—

"The wind blew and the rain fell." Amen .... the wind
did blow, in the form of a King College Tornado, and the
rain did fall, in sheets and torrents. Personally I would
much rather have had the rain alone than both together.
Those boys out there in those red suits last night inciden-
tally were more than just an idle wind. They were a real
tornado. They tackled hard, hit the line hard, and in gen-
eral played nard. But to our knowledge they played clean
and hard football. They brought to Maryville one of the
best running attacks seen this year. They opened holes in
the line a truck could have driven through, let alone that
little halfpint Clabaugh, who we think, was outstanding
both defensively and offensively.

The rain drove away a few of the spectators but
there was one loyal fan who was rather adept at making
up rhymes and reasons, urging the boys on. One of them
ran something like this :

"Hickory, dickory dock,

Get in there boys— and block !" '*> '
Another of his best ran like this:

"There was an old lady who lived in a shoe ...

There goes Smith and Taylor, too !"
There were many more too, but we regret we cannot at
the moment recall any of them.

We don't want to say much about the defeat last
night, but if you will recall last week's column, you will
remember our saying that the Scotties would probably
take to the air in the next two games. Whether or not you
realize it, the two touchdowns in the Lenoir-Rhyne game
and the one last night were both made possible by passes.
Maryville has one of the keenest potential pass receivers
in the conference in Joe Etheredge. With Tom Taylor
on the other side of the line to help receive those passes,
and with Hughes and Honaker to toss them, can you
blame Maryville for using them?

Women's Soccer
Title Won by Jr.-Sr.

i

>>

THursday the junior-senior soccer
team of the women's point system won
the soccer championship by defeating
the freshmen team 5-0, in a well con-
tested game. The junior-senior team
had defeated the sophomore team, 3-2,
in a game played a week ago Thurs-
day.

The freshman team receives honor-
able mention in the tournament, hav-
ing defeated the sophomore team on
Tuesday, 6-2. There are so many fresh-
men out for the point system this year
that two teams were chosen for soccer
and each girl on the two teams had
her opportunity to play. The freshmen
should be commended on the good
fight that they put up.

All the games were fast, but were
not as rough this year as they have
been previously. Hazel Bddins, direc-
tor of the point system groups, says
that this is due to the penalty which
was enforced for not keeping the hands
behind the back.

The winning team, that of the jun
ior-seniors, was captained by Jane
Corry, and the manager was Dot
Quass. The team is as follows:
Halfbacks: Jane Corry, capt. Joy Cor-
rigan, Barbara McCutcheon.
Forwards: Virginia Partridge, Eliza-
beth Stone, Lyn Tyndall.
Fullbacks: Marianna Cassady, Dot
Quass, manager.

Wings: Louise Allen, Catherine David-
son.
Goalkeeper: Maude Smith.

Wrestling practice started last week
under the coaching of Edgar Meares,
while Coach Robert Thrower is work-
ing on football. Practice is held every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and
every one interested in coming out for
wrestling should report for practice
Monday.

The team suffered several losses by
graduation last year, but a good season
is anticipated with lettermen Jenkins,
Meares, Everett, and Hahn back again
this year. There are many open vacan-
cies however, and they will be the
headache for Coach Thrower this win-
ter. Approximately 14 men have re-
ported for the first practice but more
are expected out after football season
gets under way.

POP TURNER'S CAf E

Nineteen men turned out to Coach
Gillingham's first practice for the
swimming team Tuesday.

With four letter-men back for the
team and nine freshman prospects, Mr.
Gillingham's first practices proved ra-
ther favorable for a good year. In the
first meeting Coach discussed training
rules and general requirements for the
swimming squad. Wednesday, Thurs-
day and Friday the squad was put
through light practice; Monday regular
traini g will start.

The captain this year will be elected
next week from last year's squad:
Findley, 50 and 100 yard free style;
Ritzman, breaststroke; Akana, all-
around; Gene Crane, diving; and Felk-
nor, 440 yard free style. Ed Ciurczak
will assist Coach Gillingham and man-
age the team.

The Maryville college Highlanders
held the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears to a 12-
12 tie last Friday night in the Home-
coming game played on Wilson* Field.
The Scotties' running attack was great-
ly handicapped by the loss of Hughes,
who is on the shelf with an injured
ankle, and they were forced to tak«
the air for both touchdowns. Two long
passes paved the way for both Scot
tallies.

Lenoir-Rhyne outgained Maryville,
making 22 first downs to Maryville's
5, and the Bruins practically dominat-
ed most of the play In the first half
with a bewildering set of spinner plays.
Lenoir-Rhyne scored first, early in the
game after a series of runs by their
flashing back, Sigmon, who frequently
hit the Maryville line for gains of five
to ten yards.

Morton scored the Scotties' first
touchdown on a drive through left
guard, after a forty yard pass to Eth-
eredge was ruled complete due to in-
terference on the one yard line. Mary-
ville scored again in the third quarter
when Scot Honaker tossed a long pass
to Tom Taylor who ran the ball 35 yds.
to the Bruin's five yard line, where he
was dumped by the Lenoir-Rhyne
safety man. Two plunges at the line
failed, and Garner took the ball over
on the third try around right end. J.
D. Hughes attempted to convert the
extra point, but the injured backfield
man missed for the second time this
year and the score was Maryville 12 —
Lenoir-Rhyne 6.

The Bruins turned loose their run-
ning attack again in the fourth quar-
ter, with Quinn and Sigmon leading the
way they battled their way down the
field on a 50 yard drive to score near
the end of the quarter.

They failed to convert the extra
point and the gun went off with the
score tied 12-12.

Although Maryville was outgained
and outplayed many times, she showed
a powerful passing attack that may
bring lots of grief to the Conference
this year. Etheredge, Garner, and
Hughes were all playing under wraps,
suffering injuries of one sort or an-
other.

FROSH-SENIOR GAME

The seniors crushed the Freshmen
last week 20-0, in one of the best
played games of the intramural sea-
son.

The Seniors showed plenty of team-
work in then, first victory. McCaskie
and Baird sparked the scoring plays
for the winners; Wilson and Birming-
ham played fine ball for the Frosh in
the backfield, matching a steady fore-
wall.

After kicking off to the Freshmen,
the Seniors took the ball and immedi-
ately scored. McCaskie to Baird on the
old sleeper pass. McCaskie tossed to
Rhody for the extra point. In the sec-
ond quarter the seniors again scored
via air-route, this time Jussley re-
ceiving. The Seniors led at the half,
14-0. In the closing minutes of the
game, McCaskie again threw a touch-
down pass to Meares far into the end-
zone to end the scoring for the day.
Seniors 20— Frosh 0.
FROSH- SOPH

The sophomores beat out a crippled
freshman squad 9-0, Thursday, in a
scrappy game.

The soph line stood out in both of-
fensive and defensive play, keeping
the freshmen back in their own terri-
tory and blocking for Kindred's pass-
es and runs. Kindred was the out-
standing back of the afternoon.

The sophs scored in the first quar-
ter with a beautifully executed pass,
Van Blarcum to Kindred, good for 30
yards. Peterson caught a pass to con-
vert the point. Again in the third quar-
ter Evaul rushed in to tag Burns, at-
tempting to pass behind his own goal-
line, adding two points for the sopho-
mores. Final score: Sophs 9, — Frosh 0.

The cross country team is planning a
meet with the University of Tennessee
this Wednesday afternoon at Knoxville.
Although the team suffered defeat at
the hands of Georgia Tech in Atlanta
last Saturday, they are expected to be
in better condition for the meet Wed-
nesday. A return meet will be run at
Maryville on November 18, over the
college course, with the Tennessee
Vols. The men who will probably run
against the University are: Weldon
Baird, Everett Gray, Gene Orr, Alfred
Davies, Vernon Lloyd, and Bill Moon-
ey.

Maryville College Highlanders on the
tail end of a 13-6 score. King flashed
a smooth running attack that blasted
hole after hole in the Maryville line
letting Clabaugh or Shockey drive
through for gains of five to ten yards.
Maryville's only hope seemed to be
in their passing offense, and they scor-
ed their lone touchdown on a pass from
Hughes to Etheredge. Maryville was in
King territory most of the game and
practically all of the first half was
spent deep in the Tornado ground.
Maryville scored first in the second
quarter when Honaker booted one out
on the King 15 yard line, and on a
badly angled King punt which went
out on the King 30 yard line, Mary-
ville was in scoring position. On the
first play Morton hit the line for four
yards. Hughes then tossed the touch-
down pass to Etheredge who was on
the two yard line and had merely to
step over the line for the first tally. J.
D. Hughes' attempted place kick for
extra point failed. Maryville lost an-
other opportunity to score in the same
quarter, when she fumbled on the King
15 yard line.

In the third quarter King drove 55
yards to score their first touchdown.
Decker started the parade off with a
25 yard jaunt around right end, bring-
ing the ball to the Maryville 35 yard
line. Hawkins then drove through to
the fifteen for a first down. Two more
right end runs brought the ball to the
seven yard line, where Shockey
smashed through left tackle for the
touchdown. An attempted left end run
for the extra point failed.

The Tordnadoes then kicked to the
five yard line, where Al Burris made
a beautiful run back of 45 yards. Gar-
ner then booted the ball down to the
ten yard line and King punted back to
their 45 yard line. Another of Mary-
ville's passes, a lateral from a forward
pass, Hughes to Etheredge, who later-
aled to Burris, netted the Scotties 20
yards. On the next play a 15 yard
penalty was imposed on the Highland-
ers for holding and thus another scor-
ing opportunity was lost. Garner then
punted to the 20, and the third quar-
ter ended.

Shockey then started another, Tor-
nado touchdown drive with a fifteen

Maryville, however, fumbled on the
first play and the ball went back to
King. Hawkins then ran, unmolested,
around right end to score standing up,
and when the extra point was convert-
ed with a placekick, the score was
King 13 and Maryville 6.

In the remaining few minutes of the
game Maryville threw passes in all
directions attempting to score, but the
game ended with King in possession of
the ball on Maryville's forty-five yard
line. (

Scot Honaker, quarterbacking for
Maryville most of the game, played a
fine game of ball, punting and passing
with accuracy in both cases. "Nig"
Wilburn was a tower of strength on
defense, broke through many times,
and in general succeeded in giving
King plenty of trouble. Cousin Joe
Etheredge looked like he was back in
the form which has but threatening
the Conference this year. Etheredge,
despite his injury, played the whole
game, and was in every second of the
60 minutes. ,

The loss to King was the first con-
ference defeat suffered by Maryville
this year, and although we are not
alone in first place, we are still on top
of the heap, with King and Carson-
Newman there too.

Maryville Scrubs Beat
Porter High School 20-0

The Maryville Scrubs showed their
stuff Thursday afternoon by taking
Porter high school 20-0 on Wilson
field.

The Porter high school squad un-
corked a nice flurry of passes, though
several times during the game, the
Maryville sub-Scotties pulled some
nice running plays with Deweese car-
rying the ball. Maryville, however,
never had any trouble during the
game, and easily outplayed the high
school boys. Deweese and Nicely
shone in the backfield; "Lil' Abner"
Barbour played a hangup game at cen-
ter. Cook and Davis pulled down
plenty of passes for Porter.

The third stringers scored in the first
quarter when Spiers cut around end
from the Porter ten. The half ended
with the score Maryville Scrubs 6 —
"•orier high 0. In the third quarter De-
weese caught a lateral on the first
bounce and lit out twenty-five yards
and over the goal line standing up.
Hahn converted the extra point. The
Scrubs marked up their last tally in
the last quarter when Deweese cut off
tackle for a thirty yard dash along the
sidelines. Hahn converted and the score
stood 20-0, in favor of Maryville when
the game ended.

O

Captain J. T. Hunt, former editor of
the Highland Echo and now a member
of the faculty of Castle-Heights Mili-
tary Academy, is visiting the campus
this week end.

A brief business meeting will be
held by Theta at 6:45 this evening.
Because of the Theta Alpha Phi play,
no program has been planned.

Teachers Game

The Scotties are anticipating, rather
anxiously, next week's game with the
Johnson City Bucaneers. Coach J. G.
McMurray's team is featuring Fleming,
one of the best ball carriers and pass-
ers in the conference, on a program of
dazzling offenses. This week they are
attacking Carson-Newman at Jefferson
City. By looking at past scores, the
Teachers have a good chance of giving
the Scotties a real battle.

The Teachers are strong on the un-
expected. Last week they sprang into
the conference picture with a 14 to 6
win over King and will be looming ra-
ther large if they win over Carson-
Newman. Last year the Bucaneers
nosed out Maryville 13-10; and 2-0, in
'36.

College Dramatic Season Opens
Next Friday Evening In Chapel
With Three-Act Farce, Tovarich

Mann and Bennett Lead In

Comedy Adapted By

Robert Sherwood

WEST DIRECTS DRAMA

Brink, Warren, Wintermute

Have Important Roles

In Production

Have Tovarich Leads

The Maryville college dramatic sea-
son will open next Friday night at
eight o'clock in Voorhees chapel, when
the College players under the direction
of Mrs. Nita E. West present Jacques
Deval's corned y-farce, "Tovarich",
starring Muriel Mann and Gordon
Bennett in the leading roles of Tatiana
and Mikail Ouratief. Katherine War-
ren and John Wintermute will take the
parts of Fernande and Charles Dupont
with Frank Brink as Gorochenko.

Bennett is a capable and experienced
actor; and is well remembered for his
performance in "Craig's Wife," which
won the Theta Alpha Phi cup for
1936-37. He has also had leading roles
in "Pride and Prejudice" and "First
Lady." Miss Mann, who has studied in
the Rice School of Dramatic Art, is
well known for her comedy lead in
"Pride and Prejudice" and also for
her work in "First Lady." This will be
Brink's first appearance before a Mary-
ville audience, having been cast in
"Night Must Fall," but forced to with-
draw because of a broken ankle.

Other members of the cast include
Barbara Anderson, as Olga; William
Felknor as Brickinski; Bruce Walters,
as Chauffourier; Vernon Lloyd as Mar-
telleau and concierge; Mary Frances
Spurlock, as Louise; Sara Bolton as
Madam* Van Hemert; Arda Walker as
Madame Chauffourier; and Charles
Was Smash Hit In Europe

Fish as Georges Dupont.

Tovarich was a smash hit in the capi-
tals of Europe, running some eight
hundred performances in Paris alone.
It was written by Jacques Duval as a
farce centered about Russian emigres
in Paris. Thinking that the play would
be appreciated only by Parisians fami-
liar with the subject, he took little in-
terest in it, putting it into rehearsals
before he had even finished the last
act. Making its first appearance in
Paris in October of 1933, it became an
immediate success and has been pro-
duced in virtually every city on the
continent.

The production, adapted by Robert
E. Sherwood, came to London in 1935,
where it played for over a year to
capacity crowds at Plymouth theatre,
winning praise from the Royal family.
It met with even greater approval on
Broadway. "At last the drouth has been
broken!" said the New York Times.
"There was jubilation on the sidewalks
last night." Having been released only
recently for amateur performance,
"Tovarich" will probably be seen here
for its first time on any other than the
professional stage.

"Tovarich" is a delightful comedy
concerning Mikail Ouratief, an exiled
Russian prince, and his wife, the Grand
Duchess Tatiana, who have fled to
Paris, where they take positions as
servants in the home of M. Charles
Dupont, a wealthy Parisian banker.
"Universal in its appeal, in its good
humored admiration for human vir-
tues latent even in princes, its expert
mixing of comic and pathetic, touches.
It is sure fire!" said the New York
American.

Staged by Fisher

The play is being staged by John
Fisher, with Louise Allen as his assis-
tant, and has been in production since
early in October. Fisher did the sets
for "Pride and Prejudice" and was
stage manager for "First Lady."

Business managers for the play are
Curtmarie Brown and William Wal-
ton. Properties are under the direction
of Ellen Losey and William Goin, with
Arda Walker and Sara Bolton in
charge of costumes. Ed Ciurczak is
technical adviser to the cast in the
pronunciation of Russian names and
phrases. Sets were designed by John
Fisher and John Wintermute.

Reserved seat tickets for the play are
being sold at the Y store, and in the
lobby of Pearsons following the even-
ing meal. They may also be purchased
at Rickett's, Chandler-Singleton's and
Proffitt's department store in town.

Societies Choose
"Idiot'g Delight"

Casting of Pulitzer Prize
Play In Few Weeks

"Idiot's Delight" by Robert Sherwood
has been selected for the Athenian-
Bainonian mid-winter, subject to fin-
al approval by the faculty, according
to an announcement by a joint com-
mittee of the two societies. The play is
scheduled for the middle of February
and Mrs. Nita Eckles West will begin
tryouts as soon as those for "Hamlet"
have been completed. The committee,
composed of William McGill, John
Wintermute, George Hunt, Mary
Chambers, Ellen Sauer, and Carol
Ward, has recommended William Ge-
nres, Eleanor Long, and Ellen Sauer
for stage manager, assistant stage man-
ager, and business manager, respective-

ly.

"Idiot's Delight" won the Pulitzer
prize in drama in the 1935-36 season
and was runner-up for the newly
created New York Drama Critics' circle
award. Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon-
taine, who played the leading roles,
enjoyed one of their greatest successes
in this vehicle.

An expose of the idiocy of war, the
play offers a vigorous arraignment of
the war madness at present threaten-
ing the world, and is aimed particular-
ly at those countries which have al-
ready succumbed to Fascist domina-
tion and influence. The scene is laid at
the Monte Gabriel hotel in the Italian
Alps near the Austrian and Swiss fron-
tiers.

The annual barnwarming, under the
auspices of the YWCA, will be given
in the Alumni gymnasium on Thanks-
giving evening, November 24, at 8:00.
The theme of the program will be
"Mother Goose Rhymes Brought Up
to Swing," with Old Mother Goose
and Modern Mother Goose carrying
out the motif. Each booth will repre-
sent a nursery rhyme, while skits will
be modern versions of infant nursery
rhymes. All music for this event will
be modern.

Preparations are now being made
under the supervision of Louise Prof-
fitt, athletic director of the YWCA,
and chairman of the barnwarming, and
Bruce Morgan, business manager. Ruth
Abercrombie and Erwin Ritzman are
co-chairmen of booths, while Ellen
Sauer is costume chairman. John Fish-
er is in charge of decorations, and will
be assisted by Miss Frances Rich and
the art department. The program com-
mittee consists of Mabel Ennis, Harriet
Miller, and Edwin Goddard, and Bill
Felknor is acting as assistant business
manager.

Nominations for king and queen of
this event will be made from the senior
class by the senior class nominating
committee and will appear in the High-
land Echo on November 20. The elec-
tion will be held in chapel on the Wed-
nesday immediately preceding Thanks-
giving, and the entire student body
will have the opportunity to vote. The
names of the king and queen, to be
known this year as the King and Queen
of Hearts, will be kept secret until the
barnwarming.

Theme Of Chapel
Service Is Peace

Armistice Day Service Led

By Dr. Lloyd, Pflanze,

Baird, Hobo

The chapel service yesterday morn-
ing was devoted to the theme of world
peace, and conducted by the Peace Fo-
rum as a part of its Armistice Day
celebration.

The program was built around the
Kellogg Treaty for the outlawry of war
as a national policy. In reading and
discussing the treaty, President Ralph
W. Lloyd stated that, although its pro-
visions had been disregarded by many
of its important signers, it still remain-
ed as a great pacifist ideal, and that
the settlement of the recent European
crisis indicates that its spirit is not
dead.

Those taking part in the program
adapted by President Lloyd were Otto
Pflanze, chairman of the Peace Forum;
Helen Bobo, president of the YWCA;
and Weldon Baird, president of the
YMCA.

The Peace Forum sponsored Armis-
tice Day programs in three local
churches last week. The evening ser-
vice at the Presbyterian church was
devoted to a program planned by the
Forum, and the young people's ser-
vices at the Northern Methodist church
and also at the First Baptist church
'were conducted by Forum members.

held in the president's office on Tues-
day at 9 o'clock. At this meeting the
general reports of the past year will
be given and the more extensive plans
and business of the college will be dis-
cussed. The most important item will
be the reading of the report of the
president which includes statements
from the various officers and depart-
ments of the college.

The fall meeting of the directors is
held on the third Tuesday of November
of each year, and is the second of two;
the other being in the spring when de-
grees are awarded, faculty appoint-
ments made, and part I of the presi-
dent's report is presented.

The board of directors consists of
thirty-six members; one third elected
each year for a term of three years
by the Synod of Tennessee of the Pres-
byterian church in the U.S.A. as speci-
fied in the charter and bylaws of the
college.

Three administrative officers of the
college are also directors: President
Ralph W. Lloyd, Treasurer F. L. Prof-
fitt, and Miss Clemmie J. Henry, dir-
ector of student help. The chairman of
the board of directors since 1932 has
been Judge S. O. Houston of Knox-
ville.

The board has two outstanding
committees which conduct business de-
tails between the regularly scheduled
meetings. One is the committee on Ad-
ministration, composed of the presi-
dent of the college and the heads of
six other committees. The second is
the committee on Finance, composed of
the president, ex-officio, Judge A. E.
Mitchell of Knoxville, chairman, and
three other members. The first of
these meets every two months and the
last, every month.

Triangulars Form
Cheering Section

Club Members Plan Similai

Cheering Section At

Winter Games

At yesterday's game the new cheer-
ing section, sponsored by the Triangle
club, made its debut. One hundred and
fifty-six Triangulars and friends took
part in the triangle-shaped colored-
card display while another hundred
students interested in some real cheer-
ing filled out the center section of the
grandstand that was reserved for them.

Color and action abounded during
the half-time as the Teacher's lassies
went through their intricate maneuv-
ers, forming the school letters. Then
while Maryville's band marched and
played the alma mater in letter forma-
tion, the cheering section formed the
letters in red on an orange background.

Although there are no more home
football games this fall, plans are be-
ing made to conduct similar cheering
sections at the winter-sports events.

Arrangements for the cheering sec-
tion were made by a committee com-
posed of Roland Anderson and George
Tibbetts, who were assisted by David
Hall and Phyllis Heaton.

Dormitories Plan
Open House For
Wednesday Night

Women To Be Hostesses At

Baldwin and Memorial

To Four Hundred

Women at Baldwin and Memorial
dormitories this week began plans for
open house, which will be held on
Wednesday, November 16, from 7:45
to 9:15 in the evening. All faculty
members and men students will be
invited and tentative plans are that
both dormitories separately, will serve
refreshments to the guests.

Memorial's matrons have appointed
one girl from each floor as a general
committee to make further plans.
Phyllis Heaton from the third floor is
in charge of planning the refreshments,
with Christine Landfear from the first
floor to assist her. Joan Von Nord-
heim from the second floor is in
charge of receiving the guests and she
has appointed three shifts of two girls
each to welcome guests at the door.
This committee consists of Johnnie
Childers, Terry Jones, Matthew Wood,
Janet Lindsay, Charlotte Colby, and
Peggy Carter. The chairman also plans
to have two girls from each floor to
act as guides in assisting the guests to
find the various rooms and to see that
the guests are registered at the door
and given tickets for refreshments.

Matrons at Baldwin appointed Ber-
nice Smith as general chairman of their
open house, and she in turn has ap-
pointed three girls to assist her. Mary
Russ will register guests at the door;
Miriam Nethery is in charge of the
reception of guests and plans to station
two girls at the door as a welcoming
committee, and two shifts of six girls
each at various points in the building
to act as guides; Barbara Swift will be
in charge of refreshments with two
freshmen, Irma Criswell and Catherine
Ogilvie as assistants on her committee.

It was decided by Baldwin girls that
the general appearance of the dormi-
tory at the open house would be great-
ly improved if there were new drapes
at the hall alcoves on the second and
third floors of the building. So a com-
mittee consisting of Katie Letterman
and Savannah Sneed for the second
floor and Emma Cassada and Betty
Pedley for the third floor will be in
in charge of purchasing material for
the drapes, sewing them at the College
Maid Shop, and hanging them.

Chilhowean Will Take
Sophomore Pictures Now

The sophomore section of the Chil-
howean will open on Monday, Novem-
ber 14, Otto Pflanze announced today.
Sophomore pictures for the Chilhowean
can be made during the next three
weeks. The editor urges that all soph-
omores who wish to have their, pictures
in the annual get them made during
the specified period, as that is posi-
tively the maximum amount of time
that can be given to the sophomore
section, since the annual must be com-
pleted on schedule.

The junior section closed on Satur-
day, likewise having been open for
three weeks.

Anyone having informal snapshots of
students or campus scenes which they
would like to have appear in the Chil-
howean are asked to give them to some
member of the annual staff or to their
clan presidents.

Stage Crew— Voorhees' Forgotten Men

By CHARLES D. ORR

It was two o'clock in the morning as
three drooping figures made their way
toward College Street. Each silent form
was the personification of sheer ex-
haustion. Night after night they had
worked until this time: painting, saw-
ing, hammering and hauling. The final
dress rehearsal was over; everything
was in readiness; and they were com-
pletely worn out. One by one they lay
down in the middle of the highway,
and hoped that a car would come along,
Fortunately, it didn't.

The Stage "(S)crew," as they fondly
call themselves, was organized by Max
Cornelius in 1935. Prior to that time,
stage work has been a clumsy and
unorganized affair — a bane to every
director and a hindrance to every
production. With a group of six, Mr.
Cornelius began work on the play,
"Peter Ibbetson," and a five-o'clock

sun rose the day of the performance to
find them putting the finishing touches
on the last set. They had worked all
night, but they had built and painted
canvas flats which could be put up
and taken down in a minimum of time.
Thus was born the Stage Crew; and a
new era in the staging of plays had
begun.

From that time, the Crew has never
wanted for something to do. They de-
sign, build and paint the sets for an
average of six major productions a
year. This does not include any num-
ber of smaller productions and one-
act plays for which they are respon-
sible.

Very few people realize the amount
of work involved in the paging of a
play. After the sets have been design-
ed, they must be built, or rebuilt from
old sets, covered and painted. Ten to
twelve hours are required for six men

The annual Fred Hope drive will be
held next week on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday, November 15 and 16. Two ser-
vices, the meeting at seven o'clock
Tuesday evening at which pictures of
the missionary work in West Africa
will be shown, and the chapel service
Wednesday morning, will be devoted
to this cause. At that time, opportunity
to sign pledge cards will be given.

Fred Hope of Elat, West Africa, is a
graduate of Maryville college in the
class of 1906, and is in charge of the
Frank James Industrial school in Elat.
Two years ago he was home on fur-
lough and spoke about his work in
that section of Africa. Although there
are a hundred and fifty other Mary-
ville people who have gone to the fore-
ign mission field in the last half cen-
tury, yet for twenty-five years or more
it has been the custom at the college
to give the students and faculty op-
portunity to contribute to a special
fund which is placed in Dr. Hope's
hands each year. Fred Hope has been
adopted as a Maryville college mis-
sionary, Maryville college helping him
carry on his missionary work by means
of this Fred Hope Fund. In the mis-
sion station in Elat there is a chapel
that has been dedicated as the Mary-
ville College Chapel.

This year the speaker for the drive
is to be Rev. L. K. Anderson of West
Africa who is home on furlough. He
is a graduate of McGill university,
Montreal, where his work as manager
of the football team and as a member
of an orchestra gave him experience
valuable in later life; and at Princeton
Theological seminary, where he con-
tinued his interest in an all-around
career.

In the eight years he has spent in
West Africa, Mr. Anderson has lived
in different sections; one far inland
on the edge of the sleeping sickness
belt; one nearer the coast, and nearer,
too, to the district where lives a tribe
of pygmies occasionally visited by
white people. Mr. Anderson's work
consists in oversight of the seventy-
one village churches and congregations
established throughout the Bafia dis-
trict. More than a hundred and twenty
African evangelists and other workers
are on the staff of this station. Recent-
ly a beautiful new church, built by
African workmen under the super-
vision of Mr. Anderson and a young
American engineer visiting West Af-
rica for a short time, was dedicated at
Bafia.

Made possible largely by gifts from
America, and decorated with stained
glass left over from the cathedral in
Washington ,the church has a special
interest for Americans as well as for
the African Christians who have
watched and helped throughout its
building.

will usually call for from three to five

eighteen changes of scenery! Over sev-

in building them.

There seems to be nothing which the

of the boat in "Mary, Queen of Scots";

Yet they seem to thrive on their diet
of long hours and hard work. For one

rooms for the upperclass women who
are transfer students to Maryville this
year. In the receiving line at the tea
will be the fourteen transfer students
staying in Pearsons; Mrs. Grace Pope
Snyder supervisor of women's resi-
dence; and the house officers, Vir-
ginia Boys, president; Charlotte Mou-
ghton, vice president and social chair-
man; and Harriet Barber, secretary*
treasurer.

The program for the tea will consist
of music and is under the direction of
Kathleen Cissna. Marguerite Justus is
in charge of the refreshments.

This tea for the new girls in Pear-
sons is the first of several social acti-
vities being planned for the house
members this year. All Pearsons girls
and women faculty members are in-
vited.

Just as we do in other areas of our living, many of us
take our entertainment for granted. Too few of us con-
sciously appreciate the planning and hard work connected
with the Saturday evening events sponsored by the social
committee.

This year's committee has provided some sort of
social event for every Saturday evening, except when
special activities were scheduled. The committee has used-
originality to an unusual degree, and the result has been
a marked increase in the interest and enthusiasm of those
attending the social affairs.

To the members of the social committe we say: "Thank
you for the splendid work you are doing. We are hoping
for more enjoyable Saturday evening social events." The
committee consists of Erwin Ritzman, chairman; Al Ros-
ser, Wilbert Looloian, Ruth Woods, Ruth Abercrombie,
Bernice Smith, Zula Vance, Dr. McClelland, Dr. Hunter,
Mrs. Snyder, Mr. Dollenmayer and Miss Johnson.

the Armistice Days and beautiful monuments we can
possibly give them. Irony of it all is th*»t the last war was
purely a waste of brains, brawn, and bullets. We find our-
selves in spite of all the sor.gs of heroism that are pulled
out of our throat on Armistice Day, forced to observe that
was isn't all it's cracked up to be and that what we need
is more men like Wednesday's speaker, Colonel Wood, who
is one of the few we've had the pleasure of hearing who
is not too stubborn to look at things from the other guy's

Discovered This Week!

That both Y stores have really cashed in on the sale
of cough drops of late. Knowing souls will tell you it's
because throats must receive extra special care now that
"Messiah" rehearsals have begun.

"The North wind doth blow, and we shall have snow"
— we-hope-we-hope-we-hope. Only please, Mister Weather
Man, you know we've always been friends; won't you hold
off just long enough for us to write home for a new fur
coat which hasn't (we are sorry to say) evolved as yet, a
pair of galoshes, some red flannels, some cough drops, and
other little variouses and sundries. We're unfortunately
not the lucky guy who's Got His Love to Keep Him Warm
and who thinks It's June in January and Roses in Decem-
ber are nothing out of the ordinary. We are entirely confi-
dent that he is not prevaricating when he says that a
coat-sleeves with something it is better than two coat-
sleeves without, but we still have icicles on our eyebrows.

And yet, pal, we couldn't bear to wait too long, as
we have a bet for the large sum of one nickel with the
I-Told-You-So-Type and are simply too poverty stricken
to lose it. So if you'll kindly make it snow before Thanka-
giving and not before the end of next week, we'll do any-
thing you ask. (Studying, giving up banana splits, calling
our student superiors Mr. and Miss, getting to breakfast on
time, being quiet at football games, and writing a decent
column naturally excepted).

You may doubt that it really happened, but Howard
Davis, himself, actually dreamed it; and Howard isn't the
kind of boy who would dream anything that wasn't true.
Here it is:

Howard was notified that some one wanted to speak to
him over the telephone in Mr. Black's office. Answering
the call, he was asked, "Is this the Maryville college bell-
ringer?" "Yes, sir," replied Howard, "this is Howard
Davis, the Maryville college bell-ringer." "Well," came over
the wires, "this is the United States Observatory at Wash-
ington, D. C. Will you please give us the correct time?"

of the Maryville college bell it will be exactly five or ten

minutes earlier or later than it really is.

Over Ninety Students Are Employed
By Campus Department This Semester

By ALLAN G. MOORE

There is a group of young men at-
tending Maryville college, who in ad-
dition to toiling and slaving on their
studies, do considerable extra-curri-
cular work. These ninety-some fellows
spend part of their out-of-class time
performing not only odd jobs, but
many major pieces of work on the
campus. You've guessed it — they are
the campus workers, who work under
the supervision of Mr. Ernest C.
Brown.

To these workers we owe apprecia-
tion for the upkeep of our dormitories
and classrooms, for they are the ones
who keep the campus buildings clean
and repaired. ,.

Already this year the campus work-
ers have undertaken such major pro-
jects as the grading of new roads, the
grading of the new power house site,
the laying of the foundation for the
power house, and the laying of the
foundation for the new entrance to the
college from College Street. These are
but a few of the tasks in addition to
the everyday chores of keeping the
campus clean, and the grass cut, the
hedges and trees trimmed, the coal
bin at the heating plant full, and oth-
er things which seem insignificant,
but would be very noticable were they
neglected.

Jobs such as these require hard la-
bor at times, but when the workers
remember what this work means to
them the fact that it involves labor is
diminished considerably. For these
pieces of work offer the young men an
opportunity to earn part of their col-
lege expenses. There are some who
could not possibly attend college were
it not for this branch of the Student-
Help department.

Then too, the worker receives much
more from the work he performs than

STAGE CREW

hunting" for milk for their coffee dur-
ing one of the midnight sessions; and
the time the electrician stuck his foot
through the chapel ceiling. There was
the time when some one dropped a
flat on Mrs. West, and also when the
electrician missed his cue and turned
on the stage lights during the change of
a scene, exposing half of the crew to
the audience in their shirt sleeves,
with properties in their hands. It was
a tense moment during the second act
of "First Lady" when tests for the
public address system, which was to
simulate a radio, showed it to be dead.
The act proceeded, and by some mir-
acle the system began to work— a few
seconds before it was needed!

No one hears much of this unique
fraternity, yet everyone is conscious
of its presence. When a morning's
chapel service finds only an ordinary
choir loft and pulpit where the night
before was some magnificent medieval
court, one will remember that there is
a group on the campus who got
very little sleep last night.

But in spite of their irregular hours
and strenuous work, they rate schol-
astically with the best. Among the
number is a psychology assistant, a
library assistant, a music assistant and
one who is doing honors work.

Who are they? Occasionally their
names appear in some inconspicuous
spot on the program. More often they
do not. William McGill has taken the
place of Max Cornelius as leader of
the crew; and he, with John Fisher,
John Wintermute, Samuel Cornelius,
William S. Gehris and three freshmen
apprentices, is responsible for the
building, painting, and changing of all
sets. Glenn Young and Roland Tapp,
with the aid of an apprentice, do all
electrical work.

Eating together, rooming together,
hiking together and working together,
they form one of the most unusual of
all college fraternities— "The Stage
Screw"!

merely his salary. Many learn how to
perform jobs and do repair work which
they have probably never found nec-
essary to attempt before. Thus, we
can say that the opportunity of work-
ing on the campus affords an educa-
tion in how to do practical tasks.

The consideration and patience which
Mr. Brown, the foreman, shows for
those who are less experienced in dif-
ferent types of work is a factor which
has made him justly popular with stu-
dent workers throughout the years he
has been at Maryville. "Brownie," as
the workers like to call their, boss, will
assign the jobs, and if there is one
which he is in particular hurry to
have completed he will even pitch in
and help the workers.

The campus workers undoubtedly,
appreciate the opportunity the college
presents to them in the form of campus
work, and likewise the college admin-
istration must realize the value of the
campus workers to the college.

Will Begin Next Week

Tryouts for "Hamlet," to be present-

week. Instead of the usual individual
tryouts, a new system of group try-
outs will be used. By this method a
group will take a scene from the play
and read it, giving each individual in
the group a chance to demonstrate
his ability as an actor.

At the last meeting of the group,
Miss Gertrude Meiselwitz spoke on the
costumes of the period which are to be
reproduced in the play.

The Right System

Baylor university students have a
new way of determining what courses
they'll take. Each student takes a per-
sonality test before making out his
class schedule— a test that shows his
psychological tendencies. Results of
these tests are combined with aptitude,
scholastic record and study habits to
tell faculty members how to advise

their charges.

E. T. T. CAN WIN S. M. C—

For thrills and excitement at a football game, yester-
day's couldn't be beat. Two long runs resulting in touch-
downs, intercepted passes, long gains, hard smashing line
plays, and razzle-dazzle plays in general were plentiful
yesterday afternoon. Of course the marching gals at the
half weren't so bad either.

Since Maryville is out of the conference picture now,
and East Tennessee is definitely in, we asked the Buca-
neer coach, Gene McMurray, if he thought they would
win the conference. He tried to evade the question just a
little, but he finally said that if they could beat the Milli-
gan Buffaloes they would win the conference title. The
Milligan game is the only conference game they have left
and Coach McMurray was pretty safe in making that
statement. He declined to say, however, whether or not
he thought they would be able to beat Milligan.

When asked who the outstanding Maryville men yes-
terday were, he thought Etheredge and Burris gave the
Bucs the most trouble. Fleming and Garland played good
ball for the Teachers. Coach McMurray complained, how-
ever, that Fleming was a little off yesterday. Well, coach,
we may be prejudiced, but Fleming was one of the hardest
hitting line busters we have had the displeasure to see on
the wrong side of the line. He is also one of the most
elusive men we have seen this year.

Earlier in the year we printed a statement in the
column that East Tennessee Teachers had 22 lettermen
back this year. Well, it seems as though we exaggerated
that according to Cach McMurray. (He wouldn't tell, but
he probably had only 20 back.)

Harriers Run All
Over Tenn. Vols

The Highlander cross-country squad
journeyed to the University of Ten-
nessee Wednesday afternoon and there
ran all over the Vol's team. Maryville
took the first six places in the meet,
with Weldon Baird winning the two
mile run in 10 minutes and 21 seconds.

The men that ran for Maryville and
the order in which they finished are
as follows: Baird, Gray, Orr, Mooney,
Davies, and Lloyd. This Friday the
University has arranged to bring their
cross country squad to Maryville, and
they will engage in the second meet
of the season with the Scotties. This
race will probably be the last of the
season for the Scots, having no more
definite meets scheduled.

Saturday Afternoon
Meetings For M Club

The M club has arranged for
the use of the Alumni gym from
1 to 3 o'colck every Saturday
for those women who are in-
terested in playing basketball,
aerial darts, or other games.
Ruth Hunley is in charge of
these activities. All those girls
who want to play these games
are welcome to the use of the
gym and are urged to come out.
It is not necessary to be in point
system. All girls are invited.

Scots Journey To
Cumberland Fri.

The Scotties will invade Lebanon,
Tennessee, next Friday to meet the
Cumberland university Bulldogs.

Maryville will be out for its second
victory over the Bulldogs, having beat-
en another bunch of pups from Wesle-
yan. The boys from Cumberland, how-
ever, will be out to avenge their de-
feat last year, the first in three years.
The score last year was 20-6 in favor
of the Highlanders. "High School"
Hughes accounting for most of the
Maryville points. In 1936, Cumberland
won 29-6, and were on top again in
'37 by a score of 21-0.

The Bulldogs have a fine squad this
year, and an impressive record. Last
week they eked out a victory over T.
P. I., 6-0. T. P.I. has beaten Sewanee
this season. The Scots will be ailing
with Hughes out of the lineup, but
will have the line intact with plenty
of backfield strength.

Four Lettermen
Bolster Swimming
Squad This Year

Swimming practice has gotten into
full swing this week under the super-
vision of Coach Gillingham. The squad
numbers about 25, half of which are
freshmen.

The schedule is in progress of be-
ing made, with no dates definite as
yet. The first meet, however, will be
after Christmas, and the season con-
tinuing until the early part of March.

Coach said that he could make no
predictions as to the team, but added
that they were working hard. Four
lettermen are back: Findlay, Akana,
Felknor, and Crane. Among the fresh-
men, Hudson is looking good. Trials for
position will begin the latter part of
next week. »

The annual Swimming Carnival put
on by the swimming team has been set
for Decerober third. Plans are in pro-
gress to make this year's version the
best possible.

20 Cagemen Out
For Practice

Basketball is going through the
warming up stages on the Hill. No
games will be scheduled until the con-
ference heads meet in the first week of
December. About twenty men are re-
porting for workouts each afternoon
under the direction of Dale Russell.
Several other lettermen will be added
after football season. The Bairds, Eth-
eredge, Hughes, Honaker and Mor-
row are pillars of the Scottie hopes for
the coming season.

The fighting Maryville College High-
landers fell before the slashing attack
of the East Tennessee Teachers here
yesterday afternoon by the score of
20-13. The Teachers, led by Fleming,
their star quarterback, scored in the
second, third and fourth quarters. The
Scotties scored both of their touch-
downs in the second quarter, with
George Morton, sophomore, carrying
the ball over the line for both scores.

Maryville scored first early in the
second quarter, when Troy Hunt and
George Morton drove the ball from
Teacher's forty-nine yard line over
the goal line in a series of off-tackle
and line smashing plays. Morton car-
ried the ball over left-tackle from the
two yard line. The extra point, an at-
tempted placekick by Morton was not
converted.

Fleming, Bucs quarterback, took Scot
Honaker's kickoff on the ten yard" line,
fumbled the ball momentarily, and
then ran along the right sideline thru
the entire Maryville team for a 90-
yard dash to the goal line and a touch-
down. Boyer converted the extra point
with a placekick. Maryville scored
their second touchdown late in the first
half, when Teachers after intercepting
a Scottie pass, drove their way to the
Maryville fifteen yard line. Fleming
attempted another pass, but it was in-
tercepted by Morton who outran three
would-be tacklers, and scored his sec-
ond touchdown after an 85 yard dash.
Honaker converted the extra point
with a placekick.

The Bucs scored in the third quar-
ter after a series of passes, Fleming to
Garland, brought the ball to the five
yard line where Garland took the ball
over on a reverse over left tackle. Boy-
er placekicked the extra point. The
last Teacher's touchdown came in the
last minute of play, after Garland had
driven his way through the line on
four line smashes bringing the ball to
the five yard line, where he went over
left tackle for the last touchdown. The
extra point was no good, and the game
ended 30 seconds later with the ball in
Maryville's possession on the Maryville
35-yard line.

Donald Kent was dismissed by Judge
Hugh L. Smith from charges of libel
instituted by Edward A. Jussley last
Wednesday evening at the fall meet-
ing of the court of Blant county held
in Athenian hall at the regular meet-
ing of the Law club.

Complications arose when the de-
fense introduced their surprisce wit-
ness of the evening who admitted
writing the letter which was blamed
upon Kent, and upon which the out-
come of the case hinged. Despite this
bit of judicial strategy, the prosecu-
tion presented such an airtight case
that the jury was unable to arrive at
any definite decision. The defendant
was dismissed by the judge on this
ground.

The action taken by his honor, in
assuming such unprecedented power in
dismissing the defendant upon the re-
port of a split jury is certain to in-
volve further litigation before this
widely known case is allowed to slip
into obscurity.

Besides the action of the judge which
is apt to hold attention for some time,
the confession of the surprise witness
of the defense will, in all probability,
cause quite a bit of dispute as state-
ments made by the witness under oath
involved much more serious charges
than were instigated in the trial of
Kent; and also these statements invol-
ved several personages of wide repute
and power in this county.

Howard Clark Dizney was the first
witness introduced by the prosecution,
and following him in order were Betsy
Gaultney, Robert Martin, Roger Gra-
ham, and Charles Aubrey Sullivan who
established the connection between the
defendant and the incriminating let-
ter.

The senior defense counsel, Arnold
Kramer, showed every bit of his skill
at cross examination in dealing with
the prosecution witnesses. The defense
introduced as its witnesses, in an at-
tempt to prove that anybody might
have written the letter, Glen Young
and George Tibbetts. Young was junior
counsel for the defense. The surprise of
the evening came when the defense
introduced Anita Rayburn to the stand,
who broke down and confessed the
whole thing.

The jury selected from the twenty-
three names introduced from the panel
was unable to reach a verdict.

The prosecuting attorneys; Brown,
Jussley, and Findlay, presented an air-
tight case, and it was only due to their
well-constructed case that they were
able to gain any consideration from
the jury at all.

Kramer, Ballenger, and Young re-
presented the defense, and despite their
subtle strategy, would have been un-
able, in all probability, to obtain an
acquital without the introduction of
the surprise witness of the evening.

Crane's Swing Band,

Tap Dance At Theta

Saturday evening at 6:45 Theta Ep-
silon will present in Theta hall what is
predicted to be one of the most in-
teresting programs of the year. This
entertainment consists of a variety pro-
gram featuring three major personali-
ties: Gene Craine, Maryville's maes-
tro, will lead his popular swing band;
Bob Claflin, talented local actor will
present a dramatic skit; and Bernard
Boyatt, a Maryville graduate known
as the "Fred Astaire of Maryville,"
will give several tap dances.

Varsity Debaters
Speak Impromptu

Impromptu speaking was the sub-
ject of special study by the varsity de-
bate class which met last Tuesday ev-
ening in Thaw hall.

The first article was read by Hugh
Smith and discussed pro and con by
Paul Brown and Mabel Ennis. Ernest
Crawford summarized the entire arti-
cle. James Montgomery read the sec-
ond article and Vernon Lloyd, Arthur
Peterson, and Bruce Morgan gave
speeches on its content.

Articles for the speeches were on
the debate subject, but outside this
general field the speakers knew noth-
ing of what they were to speak on un-
til the article was read before the
class. Four minutes were allowed for
preparation of the speech which was
limited to three minutes.

Miss Louise Proffitt, the chairman of

the side-show attractions. Carrying out
the thpme of "Mother Goose brought
up to Swing", Curtmarie Brown and
Mabel Ennis, taking the parts of the

NOTICE

Billed as an historical drama in three
acts, "The King's Dilemma" with Mar-
tha Miller and Jess Coffer, well-
known actors of stage and radio will
be presented Tuesday evening, Dec. 6,
at eight o'clock in Voorhees chapel.
The benefits of this play will be for
the social activities arranged by the
social committee. Tickets will be plac-
ed on sale this week at thirty-five
cents.

Henry VIII, that bluff, boisterous
king of England with whom the play
deals, was the most married man of his
time. "The King's Dilemma" tells the
story of Henry VIII's marriage to the
German princess, Anna von Cleves.
Henry was a lover of beautiful wo-
men. He married six times. The care
with which he selected his wives was
no less than a solemn rite. Only once
did he permit another person to assist
him in his choice of a mate. Cromwell,
his prime minister, foisted upon him
a German princess, Anna von Cleves,
whom he accepted by proxy. Expecting
Anna to be a great beauty since a por-
trait of Holbein painted her as such,
he went into a rage when he discovered
her to be an ugly duckling. Henry
would have nothing of her and de-
manded a divorce and got it. But it
took the army, the Archbishop, a lot
of fussing and plenty of alimony,
houses, servants, and jewels to be a
free man.

Anna, however, looked after her-
self very nicely and did well to save
herself from the block in this game of
marriage with Henry. Her strategy in
outdoing the king addds many laughs
to the play.

Martha Miller plays Anna and prov-
es again that she is one of the best
character actresses on the stage today.
Jess Coffer as Henry VIH gives an
excellent interpretation of "Bluff King
Hal."

Student Council Makes Trip

By Bus Possible At

Minimum Cost

Through efforts of the student coun-

able to make the two-hundred mile
trip to attend the Carson-Newman
football game Saturday, Nov. 26, at a
minimum cost.

President Bob Martjn has been
working for several weeks on a plan
whereby such a trip may be made.
He has been able to obtain buses from
Knoxville at the rate of between a
dollar and a dollar and a quarter per
person, if the bus is filled. With the
forty cents admission fee to the game,
the total cost of the trip will not ex-
ceed a dollar-sixty-five. Students are
asked to sign in the dormitories if they
are interested in attending the game.

Investigations were made concern-
ing train rates, but a guarantee of two
hundred persons at a dollar-forty-five
each had to be made. Students have
not attended a game en masse for
several years. Formerly, they attended
the Maryville-U.T. games.

Due to the fact that our Sept-

have overdrawn our quota for
these two months, it will be
necessary that all NYA students
limit their earnings for the per-
iod from December 8 to Jan-
uary 8, which includes the
Christmas holidays, to one third
of their regular monthly amount.

Over 200 men of the college and
members of the faculty were guests of
Baldwin and Memorial dormitories at
open house held Wednesday evening
from 7:45 to 9:15. After an inspection
of rooms, refreshments were served in
the lobbies of the two halls.

Bernice Smith was general chairman
of Baldwin, assisted by Mary Russ,
Miriam Nethery, and Barbara Swift.
Katie Letterman, Savannah Sneed,
Emma Cassada, and Betty Pedley were
responsible for many of the decora-
tions, while Irma Criswell and Kath-
erine Ogilvie helped with the refresh-
ments.

A general committee, composed of
Doris Heaton, Christine Landfear
and Joan von Nordheim, was in charge
of arrangements in Memorial hall.
They were assisted by Johnnie Child-
ers, Terry Jones, Matthew Wood, Janet
Lindsay, Charlotte Colby, and Peggy
Carter.

The YMCA and the YWCA will
again this year sponsor a Thanksgiv-
ing morning sunrise service to be held
in the Fine Arts studio at 8:15 a.m. The
program will be one of song and
poetry, and is under the direction of
Warren Ashby, Katherine Pond, and
Marvin Minear.

The string trio composed of Zula
Vance, piano, Erwin Ritzman, cello,
and John Gulnter, violin, will play. In
addition to this, the YWCA choir will
sing.

"Who will fight in the next war" is
the general theme of a Peace Forum
discussion to be held Friday evening
at 6:45 in Thaw hall auditorium. The
program has been patterned after the
discussion group idea which proved
quite popular in Forum meetings last
year. Magazine articles will be read by
students versed in international rela-
tions in the five groups into which the
audience will be divided. These articles
will be discussed by the groups, a con-
clusion drawn, and a report made to
the audience as a whole.

This unique type of program has
been designed by Forum leaders to give
each person attending the meeting a
chance to express his opinion. The re-
ports made to the audience in the
meetings following the group discussion
should also give an excellent survey
of student opinion on the subject
around which the program is built.

The articles selected will be on the
general theme of the alignments which
are being made by the nations of the
world in preparation for war. The dis-
cussion will reveal the trends toward
alliances and revanche by means of
trade agreements. Particular attention
will be paid to the recent trade agree-
ment between the United States and
Great Britain, and the visit of British
royalty to America next spring as in-
dicating the position of this country
in the next war.

The current German persecution of
the Jews and the reaction to it in-
dicated in the American press will also
come up for discussion. Articles will be
selected showing the anti-German at-
titude of the United States today, and
the same attitude which was prevalent
in 1916.

Approximately 500 people witnessed
the highly successful performance of
IToviarich" by the College players
last night in Voorhees chapel. Muriel
Mann and Gordon Bennett headed a
cast that turned in a consistently fine
interpretation of the Jacques Deval
comedy.

As the Grand Duchess Tatiana Pet-
rovna, Pat Mann played one of the
strongest and most mature roles of her
experience on the Maryville stage. The
vigorous emotional quality of her in-
terpretation characterized by discri-
minating restraint contributed much
to the effectiveness of her part.

Gordon Bennett gave another evi-
dence of his versatility in the part of
Prince Mikail Alexandrovitch Oura-
tieff, a role making great demands in
its abrupt changes of mood. Bennett's
I^rformance was marked with his
usual poise and confident stage pre-
sence.

Frank Brink as Commissar Gorotch-
enko, John Wintermute as Charles Du-
pont, and Katherine Warren as Fer-
nande Dupont contributed the strong-
est of the supporting roles. Sara Bol-
ton, although cast in a small part, gave
one of the sincerest and best-studied
characterizations of the evening.

Bruce Walters as M. Chaffourier-
Dubieff, William Felknor as Count
Feodor Brekenski, Charles Fish and
Carol Ward as Georges and Helene
Dupont were convincing. Barbara An-
derson, Mary Frances Spurlock, Ver-
non Lloyd and Arda Walker com-
pleted the personnel of this well -cast
play.

"Tovarich" is in two acts and four
scenes. The action opens in a shabby
room in the Hotel du Quercy and con-
tinues in the boudoir of the wife of
Charles Dupont, a wealthy Parisian
banker. Act two opens in the Du-

O

Alexander To Speak

Rev. Theron Alexander, pastor of
the Park City Presbyterian church of
Knoxville, will be the speaker at the
Wednesday morning chapel service.
Rev. Alexander is a graduate of Mary-
ville college in the class of 1908. He is
a member of the board of directors of
the college and is well known in Mary-
ville and on the hill.

The annual Fred Hope drive, con-
sisting this year of two addresses by
Rev. L. K. Anderson, missionary from
West Africa, is the most successful
that Maryville college has had in the
last seven years. The total of pledges
this year amounts to $770.30 as com-
pared with the $684.40 pledged last
year.

The most encouraging phase of the
report, however, is the number of peo-
ple contributing: 367, or almost twice
as many as ever before. This is an in-
teresting commentary en both Rev.
Anderson's graphic picture of the need
in, the mission field and on Dr. Hun-
ter's tactful presentation of the plea
for funds. The pledges ranged from 25
cents to $6. A box for those who may
still wish to take part in this drive has
been placed in the student-help office.

The money thus raised is used in
partial support of the Frank James In-
dustrial school in Elat, West Africa,
which is under the direction of Dr.
Fred Hope, an alumnus of Maryville
college. Two years ago Dr. Hope him-
self, in America on furlough, spoke
here on the progress of his work.

Dr. Hope was graduated from Mary-
ville in 1906, having come to the col-
lege from Illinois. While a student he
was looked upon as one of the out-
standing members of the student body,
and was a leader in the YWCA. He
had numerous offers for positions with
large business groups, but chose to
enter the mission field as a layman. He
was placed in charge of the industrial
school at Elat, where he has been for
a number of years. A few years ago he
was given an honorary degree from
Maryville.

Oratory Discussed At
Debate Class Meeting

700 Pounds Of Turkey For Thanksgiving

By GEORGE L. HUNT

To those who patronize the dining
hall in Pearsons three times a day,
Thanksgiving will be an event. For one
thing, breakfast will not start until
7:30, dinner at 1 p.m., and a light sup-
per will be served at 6. For another
thing, seven hundred pounds of real
turkey have been ordered that those
who daily pay their obligations at the
shrine of old lady, corn bread, biscuits,
and toast might enjoy a real Thanks-
giving-day dinner. Along with the tur-
keys, all prepared to suit the most
discriminating diners, will be cran-
berry sauce, mashed potatoes, creamed
peas, rolls, coffee, celery and olives,
and plum pudding with hard sauce. It
is a new day and a new deal in Pear-
sons, and though it may last for but
a day, let us eat, drink water, and be
merry, for tomorrow we return to our
former menus — not nearly as bad as
we think thev are. but what would

life be without something to gripe
about?

Since the highlight of the campus
Thanksgiving day celebration is the
noon meal, our attention is centered on
Pearsons hall and the machinery that
enables it to conform to the strict
schedule which it does keep. Almost
one hundred persons are actively en-
gaged in the workings of the dining
hall. Miss Margaret S. Ware has been
supervisor of the dining hall for the
past several years and is in direct
charge of the entire working force.
There are seventy-seven waitresses,
four cooks, four men who dish out the
food, five men who wash the dishes,
and seven women who do other work
in the establishment such as watching
the food, taking care of the laundry,
filling the syrup jars, and so forth. The
student pay roll in the dining room is
a thousand dollars a month, a sum
which at first thought is staggering,

and yet which gives a fair idea of the
size of the work which is directely
supervised by one woman.

Three of the four cooks have been
in the kitchen of the college for almost
fourteen years. John Henry is in
charge, with Agnes Henry and Delia
Howard assisting. Sam Goldsby has
just joined the cooking staff this year.

Most students do not realize the re-
sponsibility involved in being an effi-
cient waitress The di. ing hall is run
on a schedule. For example, the wait-
resses come in the hall at 6:45 every
morning except Sunday. They get the
toast at seven minutes before seven and
the biscuits at five minutes before
seven. Through cooperation of all the
workers, by seven o'clock the meal is
ready for the students. The other meals
are run on a schedule just as strict, and
late arrivals at meals upsets the work-
ing schedule of the waitress as well
(Continued on page four)

Members of the varsity debate squad
met last Tuesday evening in Thaw
hall for their regular weekly meeting.
The subject of special study for the
meeting was oratory, and various typ-
es and phases of this line of speech
were presented by members of the
squad.

Arda Walker read an oration which
she gave at the State convention last
year. Others on the program were Har-
riet Miller and Arnold Kramer, who
read orations which won first places
at the National Pi Kappa Delta speech
tournament last year.

Study for the next several weeks
will be concentrated on the debate
subject in preparation for the tryouts
which will be held some time in Dec-
ember.

Juniors In Charge Of
Y.W. Meeting Tomorrow

The regular meeting of the YWCA
tomorrow at 1:15 will be in charge of
the juniors. Margaret Knox, Louise
Allen, Barbara McCutcheon, Joy Corri-
gan, and Harriet Miller will speak on
the theme of Henry Van Dyke's poem:
"Four things a man must learn to do,
if he would make his record true: Tc
think without confusion, clearly, to
love his fellow-men sincerely, to act
from honest motives purely, to trust
in God and heaven securely."

Pat Kennedy will play and Dick
Woodring will sing.

An Honest Appraisal

A chapel speaker recently made the statement that,
to, him, the most deplorable present-day tendency is the
lowering of courtesy standards and practices.

An honest appraisal of ourselves and others with whom
we deal must convince us that there is a great deal of truth
in this remark.

The brand of courtesy here referred to is not the
artificial coating of politeness sometimes used to hide the
true nature underneath; by "courtesy" we mean thoughtful
consideration for others, inspired by a genuine feeling of
brotherhood.

When we call to mind the persons we escpecially re-
spect and admire, we are very likely to think of indivi-
duals whose every attitude and action reflect the kind of
courtesy just described.

Although it may be true that college life offers many
opportunities to be discourteous (in the dormitories, din-
ing hall, classrooms and social activities), it is just as true
that these same features of campus life afford chances for
the development of sincere habits of courtesy.

Ever New

• Although Open House held each year by the dormi-
tories has become a Maryville college custom it is ever
new both to participants and to visitors. What has laugh-
ingly been called "an insight into how the other half would
like to live" adds much to the life of the college in giving
the students a chance to get better acquainted and to get
an idea of general dormitory life. Too frequently Open
House is the only chance students in the same dormitory
have to see each other at home and it serves a real func-
tion in the dorm itself as well as for the school as a whole.
For the last three years Memorial, Baldwin, and Car-
negie have held Open House but unfortunate circum-
stances prevented Pearsons from entertaining last year. The
successful completion of the program on last Wednesday
has made students more eager to see the residents of
Pearsons and Carnegie "at home" in the very near future,
and the announcement of their Open House is eagerly
awaited.

A Real Tribute

It is a real tribute to the vividness of Rev. L. K. An-
derson's description of the need in West Africa that this
year's Fred Hope fund is the largest in recent years and
that the number of students contributing is almost double
that of last year. Such a large contribution is also a tri-
bute to the generosity and cooperation of the students and
faculty; especially fitting as we approach Thanksgiving.

We are prone to forget the condition of people living
in a country which is likely to change hands over night
and of the consequent suffering, loss of property, and
change of laws and customs that accompanies such an
event. We lose sight of places where hospitals are run
like Ford assembly plants and where there is only one
minister for thousands of primitive people spread over
many miles of tropical jungle.

It is only when some man with the insight and enthus-
iasm of Mr. Anderson describes these things that we rea-
lize the true seriousness of such situations. It is only then
that we feel the duty and opportunity that is ours in help-
ing such a cause as Dr. Hope's school in Elat.

EPOSTLE

You read and write till late at night
That letter you're composing;
But nothing's quite exactly right-
It must look more imposing.
You squirm and stew till black and blue,
Then sit and stare and wonder.
You start anew. It must ring true.
You dare not make a blunder.
You're far from through, and tired too,
And there's the "light's out" warning.
What shall you do? You know that you
Must mail it in the morning.
Your room-mate hence, adds his two cents:
"I'd drop a card," he hollers.
It sounds like sense; so you write thence,
Just, "Send me twenty dollars."

a jolt recently by Michigan State col-

revealed that: "There is no evidence to
support the common belief among in-
structors that written tests as com-
monly used motivate learning or in-
crease total achievement in college
classes."

RASSLIN'—

Rasslin', under the able supervision of "Coach"
Meares, isn't doing so hot. It seems as though Mr. Meares
has no material to speak of with which to work on. There
are at present only a few out, and since there are plenty
of vacancies on the squad this year, there should be, by
rights, more men out lor practice every Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday afternoon. The wrestling team, which is
coached by Mr. Thrower, has already made arrangements
with three schools for meets this winter. And the team
will make several trips, too. They will go to Nashville to
engage in a little bout with Vanderbilt university. An-
other trip will be taken to Raleigh, North Carolina. In the

CAMPUS STUFF • By SANDERS

"SHOELESS WONDER"—

Yes, we have one. In captivity too. Anyway, if you
have ever happened to watch those cross country runners
practice, and some of them do practice, you might see Don
Calhoun, the "Shoeless Wonder" galloping around. Don
went sissy on us yesterday though and wore a pair of
shoes when he ran against U. T. Don says that running
without shoes has actually helped him a great deal, and
there might be something in that, who knows. Anyhow,
I'll bet that Maryville is the first college to have a cross
country runner who runs barefoot.

ALL-CONFERENCE HOPES—

The time has come for peoples to pick these all-con-
ference teams. They do it in the Smoky Mountain Con-
ference, too. Maryville has a couple of players that surely
deserve all-conference honors, and will no doubt receive
them. One of the ^ast mentioned is Arnold Kramer, big
190 pound lineman for the Scots. Kramer, who is a junior,
has played in every quarter of every game this year, until
the Teacher's game, when he was removed due to an in-
jury. Arnold is one of the best tackles in the conference,
and if he is overlooked someone will be making a sad mis-
take. Another player deserving honors is Joe Etheredge.
Joe, a junior end, is about six feet tall and Weights about
165. Joe is the lad that caught the pass that scored against
the University of Kentucky this year. J. D. Hughes, al-
though on the injured list right now, is sure to be placed
on the SMC all-conference list. Hughes is a backfield man,
weighs about 160, and is a bundle of dynamite against any
team. There are several others, Hunt, Morton, and Burris
who will probably receive recognition on some of the selec-
tions.

1NTERCLASS
, SPORTS

Throughout the country all-
star teams, all -conference teams,
and etc., are being picked by
different writers and newspapers.
So, not wanting to be out of
style, and anyway it is a yearly
custom, the YMCA athletic de-
partment has selected what they
term their all-intramural team.
The men on this team were sel-
ected by the athletic directors of
each class under the supervision
of Gene Orr.

The team selected this year
will represent each class, with
the senior, junior, and sophomore
classes each) having three men
apiece and the freshmen two
men on the team. Two teams
have been selected; one team re-
presents all four classes, and the
other team has been elected to
play the championship junior
eleven on Thanksgiving Day.

The backfield is composed of
Morrow, who is one of the best
passers and kickers ever to play
intramural football; Etheredge,
who is the best pass receiver on
the field; McCaskie, who- can
sling a pass with the best of them
and who is one of the best de-
fensive men to play this year;
Van Blarcum, who is known as
a passer and blocking back. The
line has Peterson and Rhody at
ends. Both are known for their
ability to snag passes out of no-
where. The tackles are Puncheon
and H. Thompson, two big bruis-
ers, who rush' through the line
and are continually bothering the
opposing backfield men. At
guard there are two freshmen,
Scapellatti and Kent. Both are
fast and tough to handle. The
center is Judy, a senior, and
Judy is known for his defensive
ability to intercept passes.

FROSH 7-SOFHS 6

The freshman gridders defeated the
sophomore football team 7-6 in the
final game of the intramural tourna-
ment of 1938, played yesterday after-
noon.

The game was. a closely fought one
as the score indicates, and both teams
were handicapped by a shortage of
players.

Phil Evaul scored the "touchdown for
the sophs, while Scapellati scored the
touchdown and the extra point for the
frosh.

Scot Chances For
SMC Basketball
Crown Are Slim

Basketball practice is well under way
under the supervision of Dale Russell.
Approximately twenty men, mostly
freshmen are reporting for the prac-
tices which are held every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.

The Scottie chances for a Smoky
Mountain Conference championship in
basketball are rather slim this year.
Although there will be four letermen
back this year, the loss of Junior Odell
and Mac Magill will be seriously felt.
The lettermen back are Dale Russell,
who fills the center position and who
is the only man back this year that
is over six feet tall; Weldon Baird, a
dependable and steady forward; Boyd-
son Baird, one of the best ball handlers
in the conference, and a good guard,
and Scottie Honaker, a guard, who
can hit the hoop with consistency.

The team will be small this year, but
they hope to make for their lack of size
in speed. There will be plenty of va-
cancies for the squad, and unless some
freshmen come up fast, the reserve
men will all be taken from J. D. Hugh-
es, Frank Morrow, and Gastrock.

"Neptune's Wetting"

Water Carnival

Theme

Neptune's Wetting, this year's edi-
tion of the annual water carnival, will
be presented on December third in the
Bartlet hall pool.

The carnival is completely new; fea-
turing soft lights, rippling music and
novel entertainment. There is to be an
under-water theme this year— "An
Eel's Eye View of a Subaqueous Festi-
val Day." A string ensemble directed
by Gene Craine and assisted by a girl's
quartet will provide the musical theme
and background.

Coach Gillingham is directing the
entertainment assisted by John Bal-
lenger. Besides 25 boys of the swimm-
ing team, there will be Mary Darden,
Louise Darden, Virginia Knighton,
Dorothy Quass, and Katherine Bennett^
to add the feminine touch to the oc-
casion.

Added to such attractions as ex-
hibtion diving, greased pole walking,
and racing for 80 year old sea dogs,
there will be a series of surprise ev-
ents and stunts. Neptune, king of the
carnival, will preside over the festivi-
ties. His identity will be divulged at
8 o'clock on the evening of the third
in the shadows of the underwater
kingdom.

The water carnival is presented by
the swimming team, and all proceeds
will go for their expenses during the
swimming season. Admission will be
20 cents. Tickets will go on sale on the
26th of November.

Straight Defeat

The Maryville Harriers won their
second straight cross-country meet
with the University of Tennessee Vols
here yesterday. Maryville won the first
five places, with a Tennessee man sixth,
and another Maryville man seventh.

Everett Gray won the race, running
the two mile distance in 10 min, 17 sec.
Weldon Baird was second and Eugene
Orr placed third. Bill Mooney and Alf
Davies placed fourth and fifth re-
spectively. Calloway was the first man
to finish for the Vols, he was sixth.

finished are: Qray M, Baird M, Orr M,

ley M, Nevius T, Eble M.

the one yard line where he was finally
downed by Hunt. Johnson then drove
the ball over on the first play for the
touchdown. Johnson also made the ex-
tra point through the line.

Cumberland scored their second
touchdown in the last quarter when
Cumberland punted to the goal line
and the referee ruled that the ball had
not gone over, the ball was then plac-
ed on the one foot line. George Gar-
ner then attempted to throw a flat pass
from a punt formation, but the wet
ball slipped out of his hands and the
fumble was recovered by Beaslcy of
Cumberland for the touchdown. They
failed to convert their extra point.

Maryville threatened once in the
third quarter when Joe Etheredge re-
covered a Bulldog fumble on the 18
yard line and on two plays they got
the ball up to the 12 yard stripe. But
the Scots were unable to drive through
a stubborn Cumberland defense and
they lost the ball on downs.

Morton stood out for Maryville in
the backfield, while Joe Etheredge
again was the star lineman for the
Scots. Hal Henschen, blond sophomore
tackle, also played a wonderful game
on the line. Five men played the en-
tire game on the line for the High-
landers: Bill Baird, Henschen, Taylor,
Kramer, and Etheredge.

lables (I know not what) and to gather
myself together and start up the aisle.
That was the point when the momen-
tous question first presented itself!

It appeared first in the form of a
dizzy little blonde job with chewing
gum and a "Suthun" accent who writes
notes to me in chapel. It fluttered into
sight and startled me with its sweet
little piping voice.

"Oh, Butchie-wutichie, are you go-
ing tonight?"

"Sure, I'm going! A- what-what'd
you..."

"Oh, that's divine! Don't forget to
come up to see me." And it fluttered
on by in a whirl of pink scarf and
honey-colored frizz.

And I actually caught myself won-
dering what in the world the dame
was talking about. I had just succeed-
ed in persuading my mind onto some-
thing less doubtful when up the thing
jumped again. Pub's query hit me like
a shot!

"So you are going, after all? I thought
you slept through the announcement."

"What's this all about? Going where?
What announcement?"

Obligingly, "The women of Baldwin
and Memorial dormitories cordially in-
vite the faculty and men students of
Maryville college to open hpuse on
Wednesday evening, November 16, at
8:00 p.m."

Came the dawn. "Oh-h-h-. Oh, sure.
Well, are you?"

"Am I what?"

"Going."

"Naturally."

After having to wait in line for the
shower, having to hunt on all three
floors for our shoes, and having to cope
with all the little situations which seem
to arise when something is trying to
happen on time, seven-thirty found
Pub and me in a much bedecked and
bewiledered state. Pub bedecked in all
his finery, even to the perfectly hor-
rible tie which Dot gave him last week
for his birthday and which he just
naturally had to wear because he was
going to see her. I bewildered because
my one and only suit had not yet re-
turned from the cleaner who had not
expected me to need it before Satur-
day night at the earliest.

"Gosh, Butch, you're a whiz in that
new shirt." Dear man. He was trying
to cheer me up.

"Yeah, 'specially without benefit of
coat, vest, and trousers. Don't I look
sweet? Think I'll just go on as is."

"Looks like you'll have to— or stay
home. Cetera desunt."

"You said a mouthful! Which re-
minds me — what do they have in the
way of food at these shindigs? I could
do things to a piece of cake about
now."

"Oh, the usual thing. A little of this
and a little of that. Better run down
and see if there's not a nice little sur-
prise waiting for you."

"Yes, and if there isn't, that cleaner
is going to have a nice little surprise
all his own when I storm in tomorrow."

Sorry, you guessed wrong. At eight-
fifteen I walked proudly down the
steps of Carnegie with the added at-
traction of a suit. The end of the side
walk hove in sight and with it a MA'
JOR problem. Where to first? Dot lives
at Baldwin, but my girl hangs her
hat in Memorial and I would no more
have thought of going to Baldwin first
that I would have thought of letting
Pub, my man of the world, escape
just at the crucial moment where all
his sophomorally wisdom would do me
the most good. If we had had a coin
to flip, I might have won, heads or
tails. Both of us, however, were suffer-
ing from a slight case of chronic fin-
ancial embarrassment. We counted out,
and mo, as usual, failed to favor me.
We went to Baldwin.

You know I'm about as graceful as
an elephant, so you can imagine how
I looked while being submitted to a
formal greeting by two evening gowns
a coiffure, and a pair of white gloves.
I forgot to notice how good-looking
they were until Pub's gulp had follow-
ed mine and some other poor suckers
were receiving treatment similar to
ours. I never seem to take advantage
of opporunity until it has grown tired
of knocking.

"Register at the desk, please." And
so we drew our names with a flourish,

little dreaming that this was only the

beginning of what was evidently meant

to be a course in teaching us our names
so we'd forget them nevermore. That I
came home with writer's cramp is only
slightly surprising, considering the fact
that every inmate of both dorimtories
seemed strangely desirous of collecting
my autograph on her own private re-
gister.

A beautiful black dress with red hair
and a smile made us go through every
single room and finally found Dot's
room for us. Pub, that it. I only came
along as bodyguard. And was it a
honey! Although I loathe pink and blue
as a color-scheme, it suited Dot very
well. That made it suit Pub very well.
That made it unanimous.

I repeat. I only came along as body-
guard.

"Holy cats, Butch. Why are you tear-
ing up those slips of paper I gave you?
Don't you know we eat on those?" This
after what seemed like hours of sweet
conversation with the coy Dotty.

"How should I? You didn't tell me.
I gotta have something to amuse my-
self with, haven't I?"

Strangely enough, it was this tact-
ful statement which brought Pub to
his feet to tell Dot what we really had
to go and see my girl. I think we slith-
ered out rather gracefully, what with
the weight of Dot's picture on our con-
sciences; or rather, in my vest-pocket.
After all, there was no sense in Pub's
getting caught red-handed with Dot's
picture in my pocket, so we hurried
over to Memorial.

And there went through the same
rigamarole (meaning hordes of rooms).
With two differences. I saw MY girl
(but not so much as a sign of a pic-
ture). Senior guy thinks he's so smart.
Must have beat me to it. Andv we man-
aged to get ort the outside of a goodly
portion of punch and cookies in less
time than I have to tell you.

When ten-fifteen approached I was
brilliant enough to leave before re-
ceiving a hint in that general direction,
so naturally I didn't have time to
check up on the figure which the mat-
ron kindly gave me. Hundreds of guys
and faculties floating about. For the
analitically or realistically minded, two
hundred, to be exact.

Amid cats and dogs and pitchforks
and sheets I heard Pub mumbling be-
tween jumps across pubbles some-
thing about "nice to get better asquain-
ted," "kinda home-like,' et cetera, et
cetera. And found myself thinking,
"There'll be some more good announce-
ments like that one to sleep through
tomorrow and tomorrow .and tomor-
row, I-hope-I-hope-I-hope.

Tickets On Sale
For Coffer-Miller
Historical Drama

Humorous Play to Be Given

By Professional Troupe

On December 6th

I Tuesday evening, Dec. 6, the Coffer-
Miller players will present an histori-
cal drama in three acts, "The King's
Dilemma, " in Voorhees chapel at eight
o'clock. Reserved seat tickets have al-
ready been placed on sale.

With the kings and dictatorships in
« never ending dilemma today over the
constant change in the political setup
of nations, the play has unusual inter-
est currently. The authors, aside from
showing the main characters for what
they are, adroitly use them as mouth-
pieces to satirize today's economical
•and political events.

The play depicts one of the lighter
'events in the reign of Henry VIII— his
marriage to the German princess, Anna
von Cleves. And it can be said in all
truthfulness that this marriage was his
"most embarrassing moment."

Recorded history states that after
toe death of Jane Seymour, his third
wife, Henry remained a widower for
two years. At last, however, he spur-
red his advisors to find another wife.
All the courts of Europe were combed
for a suitable mate. Henry's reputation
for having his wife beheaded preceded
him. None of the royal ladies approach-
ed wished to risk their hearts — or necks
, — with him. After much delay, Crom-
well, the prime minister, selected Anna
von Cleves, a German princess. Anna
was not beautiful. Nevertheless, Crom-
well brought about the union as a bit
of political strategy and depended upon
good luck, and much deception, to
make Henry accept her. To this end,
Cromwell commissioned Hans Holbein,
a portrait painter, to do a small like-
ness of Anna. His instructions were to
represent her as a beautiful woman.
This likeness, so called, of Anna was
given Henry for a royal approval. He
was delighted and hastened the day to
receive his bride. But when he finally
looked upon her, he departed in terror.
.Anna was ugly beyond description!

Martha Miller plays Anna and proves
again that she is one of the best char-
acter actrecses on the stage today. Jess
Coffer as Henry VIII gives an excellent
interpretation of "bluff King Hal."

"The King's Dilemma" is being spon-
sored by the social committee. The
proceeds from these plays help in the
expenses for the social activities on the
campus. The student members of the
committee will act as ushers.

By MISS GERTRUDE MEISELWITZ

The Home Economics department of
Maryville college invites everyone to
an open-house and Christmas tea on
Friday afternoon, December 9, from
2:30 to 5:30.

Included in the exhibits this year
will be some items of unusual interest.
The department has acquired a new
and very beautiful Cromaine Craft
loom. Come and find out how cloth is
made, and how pattern is woven into
cloth.

Do you remember the recent issue
of "Life" in which various famous ar-
chitects published their plans for
houses, traditional and modern, for
families on various income levels9 We

have models of these houses in color
with complete floor plans.

Of special interest to men will be
an exhibit of men's garments suitable
for campus wear, sports wear, and so-
cial occasions. Do you know your co-
lor type and what to wear to make
the most of it? There will be exhibits
of color combinations suitable for the
blonde, the brunette, and the red-hair-
ed types. What qualities do you con-
sider when selecting and purchasing
your clothes? May we give you some
advice as suggested by such authori-
ties as "Esquire," Men's Vogue," and
"Men's Wear Daily"?

Jussi Bjoerling, brilliant young
Swedish tenor of the Metropolitan op-
era, will appear here on the second
number of the Maryville college Artist
series on January 11. Although only 27
years old and the youngest singer ever
engaged for principal roles at the Met-
ropolitan, he is hailed by critics as
"the outstanding tenor of our times."

In spite of his age", Jussi Bjoerling
has a long and impressive record of
successes behind him. Raised in a fam-
ily of musicians, he has been singing
almost all his life, or as he is quoted
in a recent New York interview, he
"zang before he spoke." The Bjoerling
family occupies a place in Swedish
musical circles comparable to the high
position the Barrymores have held in
the American theatrical world.

The eldest of three brothers, he was
born at Stora Tuna in the province of
Dalarna, Sweden, in 1910. Upon the
death of his mother, Jussi, with his
brothers and his father, came to Am-
erica and for two full years toured the
Swedish churches and music halls of
this country as the Bjoerling quartet
with great success. Disbanded by the
death of their father, they returned to
Sweden to pursue their musical studies

German Student
To Discuss Nazis

First-Hand Information To

Be Given December 9

At Peace Forum

"An Understanding of Germany" will
be the subject of Ingeborg Jung, Ger-
man exchange student, in her lecture
before the Peace Forum Friday at 6:45
in Thaw hall auditorium. Fraulein
Jung, who comes from Dusseldorf am
Rhein, will discuss the Germany of
today from many angles— political,
social, and cultural.

Among other things, Fraulein Jung
will tell about the country, its popu-
lation, and the German ways of life.
The German education system and the
different methods it uses from those
used in America will be brought into
the lecture. Of paramount interest to
an American audience will be her dis-
cussion of Hitler and the theories of
national socialism which is the foun-
dation of the Nazi movement. The
Nazi attitude toward the Jews, which
has received so much publicity in the
American press of recent weeks, will
be brought up for examination.

The probable alliances of world pow-
ers in the event of war was the gen-
eral theme of a Peace Forum meeting
on November 25. Ernesto Casseres,
freshman from Costa Rica, spoke on the
attitude of South American countries
and the conflicting Nazi, Fascist, and
American influences there. A speech
on the dilemma of Poland in the mat-
ter of foreign policy was given by Ed
Ciurczak. Ciurczak, who is of Ukranian
descent, showed how Poland fears both
Germany and Russia and dares not ally
with either.

Paul Akana, sophomore from Kobe,
Japan, spoke on Japanese and Ameri-
can interests in the Pacific showing
how these interests need not conflict
there. There need be little danger of
war between America and Japan, he
declared. The fourth speech of the
evening was given by Clifford Proctor,
senior from Reading, Vermont, who
discussed the attitude of the Balkan
countries toward the creation of al-
liances.

Nearly Complete
Rehearsals For
Annual Oratorio

Almost 200 Participate In

Annual Presentation

Of "Messiah"

Rehearsals for the presentation of
George Fredrick. Handel's immortal
oratorio, "The Messiah," to be sung
in Voorhees chapel on the afternoon
of December 11, are nearly complete.
The chorus is composed of nearly 200
voices from the student body, faculty
and town.

Recitatives and airs will be inter-
preted by student soloists and the
Maryville College Little Symphony
orchestra will furnish the accompani-
ment. The entire production is under
the direction of Mr. Ralph R. Colbert,
Maryville college music instructor.

The text of the "Messiah" is taken
from the literal words of the old and
new testaments, arranged by Charles
Jennes. This oratorio, which is gen-
erally conceded to be the greatest of
all time, ranking even higher than
Mendelssohn's "Elijah" or Haydn's
"Creation," was written by Handel in
a period of 24 days in 1741. The same
year he was invited to Ireland as guest
of the Lord Lieutenant and it was
while he was there that the "Messiah"
was first performed in Dublin. Since
that date this oratorio has added a
great deal to Christmas festivities hav-
ing been sung hundreds of times.

The oratorio was first presented at
Maryville in the fall of 1933 when J.
Alvin Keen, Westminster Choir school
graduate, directed the chorus in its
first rehearsals. When he found it im-
possible to continue his work here,
Miss Frances Henry, instructor in
voice, took over his work. The warm
reception received by the chorus and
its director and the added feeling of
Christmas spirit prompted the contin-
uations of the annual productions.

than those of last year" according to a
statement released today by Dr. Frank
D. McClelland, director of personnel.
"The work of this year's freshman
class is well above the average," said
Dr. McClelland. "There wore fewer low
grades among these reports than among
those of the preceding year." Freshman
grades were sent to the office for com-
pilation on November 14, and were
mailed to the students' homes on Fri-
day and Saturday of last week.

Reports were issued to the fresh-
men in alphabetical order, Monday
through Friday of the past week, at
which time each was counseled con-
cerning his grades and his ability to
do college work. The latter was based
on the results of three tests given at
the first of the semester; the Purdue
English Placement test, the Thurstone
Scholastic Aptitude examination, and
the Iowa Silent Reading test.

The English placement test was giv-
en to determine into which of the three
English classes the student should be
placed, according to the extent of his
former preparation. The Scholastic
Aptitude examination determined first,
his linguistic ability, or his ability to

Rev. Harrison Ray Anderson, B.S., B.D., D.D., pastor of the Fourth Presby-
terian church of Chicago, will be the speaker for Maryville's sixty-third series
of February meetings, which will begin on Tuesday, February 7, and will last
for ten days.

For the seventeenth year, Rev. Sidney E. Stringham, pastor of the Epworth
Methodist Episcopal church of St. Louis, will lead the songs. President Ralph
Waldo Lloyd well expresses the sentiments of all of those who have come to
know Mr. Stringham in past years when he says, "Mr. Stringham has made a
large place for himself in the friendship and regard of four college generations
of students and of the officers and faculty of the institution. His wholesomeness
of character and spirit and his ability as a leader have enabled him to render
a service of great value." Mr. Stringham's daughter, Jean, is a member and
officer of the freshman class this year.

Dr. Anderson, the preacher and leader of the meetings, has been for the
past ten years the pastor of one of the world's greatest Presbyterian churches,
located on North Michigan avenue in Chicago. This church has twenty-five
hundred members, two ordained associate ministers, a considerable number of
full-time staff members, and three regular worship and preaching services each

Sunday.

______ — j{ Dr. Anderson is a comparatively

young man, being now forty-five years
old. He received the bachelor of science
degree from the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college, located in Manhatten,
Kansas, his native state; the bachelor
of divinity degree from McCormick
Teological seminary, Chicago; and the
honorary degree of doctor of divinity
from Emporia college in Kansas. Prior
to his call to Chicago, Dr. Anderson was
for four years pastor of the First Pres-
byterian church of Ellsworth, Kansas,
and pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Wichita, Kansas, for seven
years. At his present church he suc-
ceeded Dr. John Timothy Stone. Dur-
ing the World war he was chaplain of
the 103rd regiment, in the 26th divi-
sion. Dr. Anderson is connected with
various enterprises in the Presbyterian
church, in education, and in his city.
He is married and has one daughter
and two sons.

In accepting the invitation to the
1939 meetings Dr. Anderson said, "I'll
give every effort of which I am capa-
ble, and will trust to the leading of
God's spirit." He is a spiritual man
and a preacher, is attractive and
friendly in personality, and has often
served as special preacher on college
campuses. One of the notable facts
about Maryville's February meetings
is that ministers, like Dr. Anderson,
who occupy exceedingly important and
busy places, will give up ten days from
the midst of their crowded season to
serve us here.

Formal Social Hour Follows

"Le Surprise d'Isadore"

And "Deux Sourds"

The French club presented two one-
act plays under the direction of Miss
Catherine Wilkinson, on Thursday ev-
ening at eight o'clock in the philosophy
class room. The plays were followed by
a social hour.

The first play, "La Surprise d'Isa-
dore," concerned a young man who
visited his doctor friend and was tak-
en for one of the insane patients by
the other members of the household.
The cast of characters included: Isa-
dore, John Fisher; Adolphe Picard,
the doctor, Phillip Ferris; Madame Du-
val, Irma Sue Pate; Suzanne, Margaret
Peters; Jeanne, Louise Curtis. Sara
Taylor assisted Miss Wilkinson with
the direction of this play.

The second play, "Les Deux Sourds"
concerned a deaf father who betrothed
his old maid daughter to a supposedly
deaf suitor. The cast of this play was:
Monsieur Damoiseau, David Kidder:
Eglantine, Etta Culbertson; Placide,
Everett Gray; Boniface, Stanley Bird.
Miss Wilkinson was assisted in the dir-
ection of this play by Ruth Moore.

The general chairmen for the pro-
gram were Anne Biggs and Margaret
Peters. Their committees were as fol-
lows: ushers, George Felknor and Jean
White; refreshments, Aileen Campbell,
Jane Corry, Frances Stuart, Maltha
Wood, Ruth Moore; incidental music,
Virginia Partridge and Katherine Ciss-
na; properties, Katherine Cissna and
Bob Puncheon.

Miss Frances E. Hunter presided at
the punch bowl.

Book Store Bids Merry Christmas
As Holiday Spirit Invades Campus

By EUGENE McCURRY

Student entering the college book
store now are reminded that the holi-
day season is almost here. Lighted
wreaths are in the windows, chains of
holly and evergreen twine along the
railings and arch the doorways. From
the central chandelier, a great cone of
red and green paper converts the store
into an animated greeting card, with a
large sign in the background saying
"Merry Christmas." These decorations
are the result of the efforts of the stu-
dent workers in the college's unique
three-unit business under the manage-
ment of Dr. Frank D. McClelland.

It is the James R. Hill Loan library
where students can rent their books

for a fraction of their original cost.
Each book has a life of approxi-
mately five semesters, and the rent is
calculated so that in five semesters
the book will '>e pa: '. for. It is esti-
mated that ab u! 4300 books are rented
to the students each semester. These
are returned at the close of the semes-
ter and re- rented at the beginning of
the following semester. This rental plan
enables students to secure necessary
books at a great saving.

The college book store is also a post
office, with Treasurer F. L. Proffitt
as post master. It is a branch of the
Maryville post office and the mail is
delivered twice daily to and from town.

day morning after the chapel service
of those women who may be interest-
ed in entering the T. T. Alexander Ora-
torical contest. This contest is held
annually, men and women students
participating alternately. The contest,
open to men last year, was won by
Ralph Reed. This year women of the
college who wish to enter the contest
may do so. Prizes will be awarded the
two best orations. Manuscripts for the
contest will be due sometime after the
February meetings. This contest is un-

Plans Concerning Class
Sections Announced
By Chilhowean Staff

Immediately upon the closing of the
sophomore section of the Chilhowean
today, the freshman section will open
and remain open until sometime early
in January.

The yearbook is being planned with
a medieval style introductory page to
each section of the book. Each page of
the book will have a garnet border.
The senior section will have six pic-
tures to the page, with the names and
legends on the opposite page. The jun-
iors will have twenty pictures to the
page, following the same style as the
senior section. The sophomore and
freshmen will have twenty-four to the
page, with the names along the bor-
der.

A new feature of the yearbook will
be a section of twelve outstanding
seniors, who will be elected at a later
date.

A Better Understanding

During the interclass touch-football season, which just
closed, the relations between the class teams and the col-
lege athletic department were not always so harmonious
and cooperative as they should be.

No quarrels or serious misunderstandings took place;
the situation merely was one in which the teams felt that
they were not bing granted the use of the college athletic
equipment and facilities to a reasonable extent; and the ath-
letic department apparently thought otherwise.

It seems only fair to remind Echo readers that the ath-
letic program of our college should be intended to make
participation in wholesome sports available to the largest
possible number of students, not simply to those who are
members of the varsity teams. Considering the rather large
number of men who take part regularly in interclass ath-
letics, it does seem that the college athletic department
should be more liberal in granting the use of college eqiup-
ment and facilities.

THE CRAMMERS' HOUR

By H. W. Shortboy
Between the dark and the daylight,
When the lights are beginning to lower,
I start the long night's occupations
That is know as the Crammers' Hour.

• • •

I hear in the chamber above me,
The patter of little feet—
The sound of some darling kiddie,
Whose head I would like to beat.

• • *

From my study I see in the lamplight,
The hand of the clock pointing two;
Since the lights went out I've been boning,
But I haven't learned anything new. !

• • •

A whisper, then a silence:
Yet I know ('cause it's happened before),
That soon my insomnious neighbors
Will be playing football next door.
• • • •

A sudden drop of my eye-lids, '

A sudden droop ol my head,
A mumbled intention to study,
An instinctive groping to bed.

• • *

i

And there I will slumber forever,

Yes, forever and a day —

If you want to flunk in comfort,

This is the pleasanest way.

The Echo sports writer and news commentator discuss
the coming German examinations:

"Greetings, Goozle. What are the prospects of your
hanging up an enviable record for the current exam next
season by coming out on the big end of the score in this
German test, which will ring down th$ curtain on a
mighty tough schedule?"

"Well, Woozle, all evidence— based upon usually re-
liable sources, such as the teacher's side remarks and
pop quizzes— strong indicate that I have good reason to
be genuinely alarmed and deeply concerned regarding the
impending crisis. Do you find yourself confronted with a
grave situation?"

"Nope, my brain is jammed to capacity with fifty thou-
sand irregular verbs— they're even hanging from the raft-
ers. This test will be a push-over for me. I ran through a
light workout on nouns yesterday. Tomorrow I'll take a
final short scrimmage on principal parts. I'm in great
shape. My highly-touted brain will function like a well-
oiled machine. If the weather holds up, and I don't deve-
lop any injuries in the final verb scrimmage, I may even
pass the test. But I'm not under-rating this test; it's a
plenty tough outfit, and no matter how the rest of the
class does, these exams always play their best game against
me."

An Opportunity

-o-

•■■**\&\

Earlier in the year the Echo commented on the excel-
lent programs that the Social Committee has provided for
the students almost every week end during the year. The
performance of "The King's Dilemma" scheduled for next
Tuesday evening promises to be another success for the
social committee and drama well worth anyone's seeing.
Jess Coffer and Martha Miller are noted for their inter-
pretation of character roles and Maryville students who
have witnessed the play elsewhere recommend it highly.
Next Tuesday's performance is notable also because it is
the only time during the year that the students will have
a chance to show their appreciation for the efforts of the
social committee. Proceeds for the play will be used to
meet the expenses of entertainments offered by the com-
mittee during the year and a good attendance will assure
them of sufficient funds to carry on their program.

THE 1DASTEBASKET

Bq SCOTTIE, THE OFFICE 801]

Included among the millions (may be a slight exag-
geration, but what's a mere million or two among friends?)
of items for which we Thanksgave:

A personnel director who was thoughtful enough to
postpone breaking the sad news to the freshmen until
the Thanksgiving holiday was over.

Those souls who were charitable enough to stand on
the street corners in the most Siberish weather for the
explicit and express purpose (we hope) of listening to our
glee clubs and our band.

Time to wonder what to do instead of doing it.

A neighbor down the hall who received a package
containing a luscious cake in our favorite flavor.

The snow, the snow, the beauteous snow. We hope
you didn't receive the impression that we weren't (thank-
ful).

The fact that we didn't go to a certain football game
and freeze to death along with the members of aforesaid
band.

The members of our appreciative (we trust) public
who had the courage to decipher the hash our last column
turned out to be.

Those as-a-rule-dependable Scotties who staged a
comeback; beat that archest of enemies, Carson-Newman;
and saved our pride and our nickel.

The Highland Echo, which wasn't issued last week.

A chance to sleep past seven-thirty a.m.

Olives and plum pudding, our favorite fruits.

All those who so kindly contributed ideas free oi
ehargs feeling sorry for our blank upper story.

Pet Peeves ol the Week (May we sir them, please?)

The disgusting lack of sportsmanship evidenced by a
certain team and its fans because said team was snubbed
on the Rose Bowl deal and the Sugar Bowl ditto. After
all, you don't see our Scotties howling because their much
deserved trip to the Soup Bowl was postponed indefinitely.

The sweet someone on a rival newspaper staff who
so kindly included one of our worst specimens in his col-
umn and called us "budding" to boot. We resents it.

The thoughtful guys who must increase the suffering
and sgony, the pain and suspense, by reminding, us every
hour of srery day just how much longer it is until we are
released

And others. They are legion. But we don't wish to seem
to complain, so we'll save the rest until next time and not

Jussi Bjoerling
Sings Jan. 11th

(Cont. from Page One)
individually. AH the brothers still
sing, but Jussi is by far the greatest.

As he went through his adolescent
years the voice of Jussi Bjoerling dev-
eloped with extraordinary beauty and
power so that it aroused the interest
of Julia Scedelius, the cultivated and
music-loving wife of a well-known
Swedish rector. He made his first
gramophone recording at the early age
of seventeen, singing "The Sunshine
of Your Smile" in Swedish. This re-
cord, the first of a long series of best-
sellers, is interesting mainly for the
freshness and clarity of the youthful
voice, but it carries little of the rich-
ness and control which today contri-
bute so much to his artistry.

In 1929 he was sent to the Royal
Opera school in Stockholm. There he
came under the tutelage of the famous
John Frosell, general director of the
Kungholm opera, and a man who is
remembered in New York as one of the
great Don Giovannis of all time. This
septigenarian is a perfectionist and
a hard taskmaster, and Jussi profited
much from his instruction. After one
year of Frosell's strenuous routine, he
made a sensationally successful debut
in the thankless role of Don Ottavio
in Mozart's "Don Giovanni." From
that day he has enjoyed triumph after
triumph in all the important opera
houses of Europe. In 1935-36 he
gave performances in Prague, Vienna,
Dresden, and Copenhagen, and later
he was invited to Paris for a special
performance of "La Boheme," which,
featured the dedication of John D.
Rockefeller's gift of an American wing
to the Cite Universite, where his voice
won him an immediate re-engagement
in the Verdi "Requiem."

Mr. Bjoerling first came to America
as a mature concert artist in the fall
of 1937. His debut was over a coast-
to- coast broadcast, followed by an ap-
pearance with the Chicago opera. His
concert in Town hall, New York, that
January was a sell-out. At present he
is engaged at the Metropolitan on an
extended appearance which necessitat-
ed the cancellation of his previously
scheduled concert here on December
2. .-..*.■ ....

Physically, Bjoerling is fairly short
and stocky, with the wide cheek bones
that are characteristic of all great
singers, and a barrel chest that makes
for excellent breath support. He is
strong as an ox and likes to be put to
feats of strength; but on the day o? an
opera performance or a concert, he re-
mains in bed almost the whole day to
conserve his energy and prepare him-
self for his best work. Like Mary Gar-
den or Caruso, he is a nervous as a
kitten before any appearance and pre-
fers to be left alone. Twenty minutes
before a performance he would be apt
to throw a pillow or a pot of grease
paint at anyone who intruded in his
dressing room; two minutes after the
curtain has been rung down he is the
most affable and friendly person im-
aginable,

Mrs. Bjoerling, the former Anna Lisa
Ber, is reputed to be one of the most
beautiful women in Sweden. In 1934
she was crowned queen of the Santa
Lucia festival in Stockholm. Also a
singer, she was trained at the Stock-
holm conservatory. They have one
son, Anders, aged two, who stays at
home with his grandmother when his
parents are off on their musical travels.

The medical aptitude test was taken
yesterday afternoon by ten pre-medical

sidered in accepting medical students.

Book Store Brings Cheer

(Cont. from Page One)
After the mail reaches the college post
office it is delivered by students to the
various offices in Anderson hall and
to each dormitory. Last year, the
stamps and envelopes sold from this
office amounted to $2,450, and money
orders amounting to $1,500 were issued.
More than 7700 pieces of mail pass
through this post office each month.
This mail is handled by carefully sel-
ected, sworn Federal student em-
ployees, whom we all know as Ernie
Enslin, Charlie Baldwin, Mack Davis,
Margaret Lodwick, and Nina Husk.

The student supply store does a
business of about $10,000 a year, and is
operated solely to accommodate stu-
dents, making only expenses— no pro-
fit whatever. The store carries the
best quality of merchandise at the
most reasonable cost to the student.
The supplies consist of notebooks, var-
ious kinds of notebook paper, pens,
pen points, pencils, ink, writing tablets,
in fact everything students need in
the way of school supplies.

Drop in at the book store as soon as
possible and see the attractive decora-
tions. The policy of this store is to ren-
der service to the college and to the
students.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS!—

The game Saturday with the Carson-Newman
Eagles reminds me of a game the Highlanders played \rith
the Eagles away back in 1915, or somewhere in the past.
Anyway, the score was Maryville 99, Carson-Newman 0,
and according to Dr. Briggs, who played in that memor-
able game, the game was stopped in the fourth quarter
because of the simple reason that Carson-Newman did
not want to have 100 points scored against her. If any of
you fans doubt the veracity of this statement, Dr. Briggs
has the Echo (good old Echo) to back up his reports.
CAPTAIN AL- ^

Saturday's game marked the end of Captain Al Bur-
ris' football career at Maryville. Burris has played foot-
ball three years under Coach Honaker, and under his
teaching Burris has developed into one of the most re-
spected quarterbacks in the Smoky Mountain Confer-
ence. His broken field running has long been the dread of
Scotty opponents. Burris also lettered in baseball. Last
year, however, he had some tough luck when he broke his
leg early in the seas»n.
NO MORE FOOTBALL!—

Now that football is over, thoughts naturally turn t®
winter sports. Basketball receives our first consideration,
and at first glance prospects don't seem to be any too fav-
orable. The squad tthis year will all be built around small
men, with the exception of Dale Russell, who is the only
man back from last year over six feet. Weldon Baird, the
only senior back this year, and the veteran of the squad,
is about five eight. Boydson Baird, that flashy floorman,
is right around the same height, and Scot Honaker, an-
other sophomore letterman, is about five foot seven. He-
gardless of what you say about small fast teams, jou still
must have height to get the ball. The squad as a whole is
green and inexperienced, with only four lettermen back,
and three of them being sophomores. Well, what will be,
will be.
WRESTLEN1S—

Wrestling, under the coaching of Robert Thrower,
will be one of the best sports on the Hill this winter. Al-
though there is a lack of experienced lettermen in this
sport, too, there are about 24 men out for the team and
from them there should be some material for a grappling
squad. In the 118 pound class, Phil Evaul will probably
don the tights for varsity. The 125 pound class will be
well filled with either Bill Mooney or Herb Turner. At pre-
sent there are no good prospects in the 135 pound divi-
sion, as Wood Everett, who wrestled that weight last year,
has put on some poundage, and is now trying out for the
145 pound set. In the 145 pound class will be some real
competition between Edgard Mears, Wood Everett, and
Warren Culver, a freshman. Clem Hahn will probably
be in the 165 or 155 pound division, and Obie Jenkins will
handle the 175 pound division. The rest of the posi-
tions on the varsity are practically void of prospects,
much to Mr. Thrower's grief.
COME ONE, COME ALL!—

The Water Carnival tonight is sponsored by the
swimming team to defray the expenses of the coming
season. The Carnival has always been in the past one of
the social features of the Hill, and no one should miss see-
ing the show put on by the swimmers. Music and colorful
decorations will add to the spectacle and tonight's Carni-
val should be better than any held previous to this year.
As John Ballenger would say, "Come one, come all, come
and see the copper colored goldfish. It swims, it dives, it
dances. The admission is only twenty cents, one fifth of ?.
dollah!"

Four Lettermen
Report For Rasslin'

Since there are only twenty-four
men competing for berths on the var-
sity wrestling squad thus far this year,
Coach Robert Hvravrer makes a call for
more men to try out for the team.

There are but four lettermen report-
ing for duties this year. They are Clem

Hahn, Edgar Meares, Woody Ercrett,
and Obie Jenkins.

Matches have already been arranged
with Vanderbilt, Tennessee, North
Carolina State, Knoxville "Y"; and
one match with the University of Chi-
cago is pending. The trip to North
Carolina State on January 13 will be
the first scheduled match, Other
matches will be secured in the near
future.

The Maryville College Highlanders battled, pushed, and drove their way The 1939 swimming team makes it debut tonight in "Neptune's Wetting,"

with Scot Honaker on the tossing endfl ■ v A festival day in Neptune's under-

filled the air with aerial bombs that

kept the Carson-Newman team back
oa their heels most of the game. The
Highlanders had the game under their
control almost all the time, making 13
first downs to the 5 of Carson-New-
man's.

Maryville's touchdown came in the
second quarter, when the passing ace
for the Highlanders, Scot Honaker,
came into the game and proceeded to
toss a thirty-five yard pass to Fred
Shelfer, substitute end, who had only
to step over the goal line. It was a
beautiful pass, and a beautiful catch.
Shelfer caught the ball practically out
of the arms of two Carson- Newman
defense men. Tom Cragan, another
substitute came into the ball game and
kicked the extra point

Maryville started right out after the
kickoff driving the ball through the
Eagle line for substantial gains. With
Hunt carrying the ball, they drove deep
into foreign territory several times, but
each time lacking the scoring punch.
J. D. Hughes, who has been on the
shelf for several weeks with a leg in-
jury, came into the game early in the
second quarter, and proceeded ta make
life miserable for the Eagles the rest
df the game. Hughes undoubtedly
played one of the best games of his
career. J. D. smashed the Eagle line
to shreds, and made more tackles than
any other man on the team. Captain
Burris, playing the last game in his
stellar career at Maryville, showed
once more the form which has made
him one of the best broken field run-
ners, and the smartest quarterback in
the conference.

Joe Etheredge, Wilburn, Kramer, S.
K. Taylor and Morton all played a fine
game.

Carson-Newman threatened only
once, when late in the fourth quarter
they drove down to the Maryville 15
yard stripe, before finally being re-
pulsed.

KENTUCKY 46— MARYVILLE 7

There wasn't much to it except that Joe Etheredge caught the 'Cats sleep-
ing and caught a pass from the hands of Scot Honaker and then ran 75 yards
for a touchdown. Maryville held the larger team to two touchdowns in the
first half, but weakened in the second and gave up five more.
MARYVILLE 28— TUSCULUM 0
J. D. Hughes ran wild that night, scoring 21 points himself. George Garner
scored the other touchdown. Maryville outplayed the Pioneers all the way, Tus-
culum threatened only once, when Maryville fumbled on their six yard line.
But Morton intercepted a Pioneer pass to end the threat.
MARYVILLE 15— MILLIGAN 0
Maryville won their second conference game at Milligan, when a Buffalo
fumble early in the game was recovered by Burns, and Hughes drove over for
the first touchdown. Scot Honaker scored the second touchdown after Hughes
placed the ball in scoring position with a series of gains through the Buffalo
line. The other two points came when Kramer and Tom Taylor both tackled
Burton behind Mulligan's goal line. The Buffs were tough, but not tough enough.
MARYVILLE 28— WESLEYAN 7
Hughes, Hunt, and Morton ran wild over the Tennessee Wesleyan Bulldogs,
and Joe Etheredge started the scoring spark when he blocked a Wesleyan punt
and galloped 60 yards for the first touchdown. Maryville was tied with Wesleyan
at the half 7-7, but the Scots scored three times in the last half to put the game
on ice.

MARYVILLE 6— UNION 13
Gloom, gloom, gloom — Maryville, handicapped by injuries with Hughes,
Etheredge, and Garner on the sidelines, fell before the kicking toe of
Farmer, and the driving of Union's star back Stafura.

MARYVILLE 12— LENOHt-RHYNE 12
Lenoir-Rhyne brought with them a series of spinner plays that left the
Scots bewildered. Lenoir-Rhyne scored first early in the game after a series of
runs by Sigmon their star back. A pass to Etheredge was ruled complete due
to interference for the Scots first touchdown. Garner ran around right end for
the second touchdown. The Bruins, however, came back in the fourth quarter to
tie the score.

MARYVILLE 6— KING 13
The headline read, "Breaks and Shockey Cost Maryville SMC Lead." Mary-
ville scored on the pass, Hughes to Etheredge. King displayed a beautiful run-
ning attack, with Clabaugh and Shockey doing most of the damage.
— MARYVILLE 13— ETT 20
We scored first, but they scored last and most. Morton scored both touch-
donws on line plays. Fleming, Buc quarter, was the real star of the game; re-
turning one kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, and passing the Teachers into
scoring position twice.

MARYVILLE 0— CUMBERLAND 13

Mud, a whole sea of it. The Scots went to Lebanon to play Cumberland, and

on the first play a runback of 85 yards placed the ball for the first Bulldog

touchdown. A Maryville fumble gave them their second tally.

MARYVILLE 7— CARSON-NEWMAN 0

Look what we did!

water realm is the theme which will
be carried out in the many new attrac-
tions. Some of the events on the car-
nival program will be a novelty race
for octogenarian seadogs, a spectacular
battle for the marine football champ-
ionship of Neptunia, formation swims,
and fancy diving. These and other
stunts will lead up to the climatic
event of the evening, the nature of
which will be disclosed during the
show. An instrumental and vocal en-
semble directed by Gene Craine will
provide a musical background for the
festivities. In keeping with the theme
of "Neptune's Wetting," elaborate de-
corations will present a cross-section
of deep sea color. »:

JUNIOR ALLSTAR GAME

Fighting to a 6-6 deadlock the jun-
iors and the all-stars concluded the in-
tra-mural football season. The game
featured sparkling play throughout,
both squads showing plenty of offen-
sive power.

Each team sported fine passers: Mor-
row in the junior backfield, playing at
the top of his game, and McCaskie,
similarly sparking the all-stars. The
lines were evenly matched, each strong
on the flanks. Scapellati and Baird,
for the all-stars, and Woodring, Schrei-
ber, and Proctor for the juniors showed
up in fine style in defensive play.

The juniors drew lirst blood. In the
first quarter Morrow completed a pass
to Woodring from the 35 yd. line and
Woodring went over from the five, to
score. The try for the point failed, and
the half ended with the juniors leading
by a score of 6-0. The all-stars rallied
strong in the third quarter, driving to
the thirty. On the fourth down the jun-
iors intercepted a pass behind their
own goal line and ran back to the two.
They passed out to the 30 yard strip
before they were forced to punt. On
the punt, however, Scapellati broke
through to bat it down and set the
stage for the all-star talley. McCaskie
passed to Baird on the five, and two
plays later McCaskie scored on a short
pass over center.

The all-stars failed to convert the
extra point.

Once again in the last minutes of the
fourth quarter, the juniors threatened
with a pass from Morrow to Herrick,
falling incomplete in the end zone. The
game ended, however, without further
scoring. Final score: juniors 6, all-stars

Women will be especially interested

The exhibits in foods include new

accomplish them, new ways of shaping
vcookies and cakes quickly and easily,
and new equipment designed to sim-
plify cooking procedures.

Temperature controlled cookery for
meats effects a great saving in full,

Let us show you how it is done, and
tell you why. Temperature controlled
candy cookery minimizes failures, and
insures uniform results. May we show
you how to use your candy thermo-

What is in a tin can? How can you
tell what is in it? How are foods pro-

cans? Are tin cans made of tin any-
way? We know the answers and would
like to tell you.

Two dollars worth of supplies and
a little labor can transform a dingy,
uninteresting corner into a pleasant
working place. We have just renovated
our pantry, and would like for you to
see it.

Since the final proof of all cooking is
in the eating of its accomplishment we
plan to include even that. Tea and
Christmas cookies will be served to all
visitors. There is no admission charge.

A.A. Exhibit Game

A speed ball game between the jun-
ior-senior and the sophomore girls'
teams was the feature event of an ath-
letic exhibition given last Saturday
night at 8:00 in the college gymnasium.
The program was an exhibition of the
girls' point system, and was under the
direction of Mrs. Evelyn N. Queener,
instructor in physical training for wo-
men. The sophomores were victors ov-
er the junior-seniors by a score of 6
to 4.

The playing of the finals in the aerial
dart tournament comprised the second
part of the program when Lynn Tyn-
dall, winner of the junior-senior tour-
nament, met Jean Naberhuis, freshman
winner over Anne Lee Storey, cham-
pion of the sophomore girls.

learn language in general; and second,
his quantitative ability or his capaci-
ties along mathematical, scientific, and
technical lines. The result of this test
is known as a student's "college apti-
tude." The reading test was given to
test the rate of speed and also the rate
of comprehension with which the stu-
dent reads. Grades for this test were
given in terms of the grade level of
the student's reading ability.

Mid-semester grades, according to
Dr. McClelland, are not accurate fore-
casts of the student's final grade, but
are given so that the student may see
his weak points and make adjustments
before too late. "As a result," said
Dr. McClelland, "the final grades are,
in the majority of cases, much higher
than the mid-semester grades would
indicate."

For '39 Cage Year

Now that the 1938 football season is
over at Maryville, Coach Honaker has
turned his attention to his new edi-
tion of the Maryville basketball squad.
The team will probably be built around
the Baird brothers, Dale Russell, and
"Scottie" Honaker, lettermen of last
year's squad.

The basketeers have been going
through their daily workouts for sev-
eral weeks now, and hope to be in
shape for a possible practice game be-
fore the Christmas holidays. However,
the first scheduled conference game
will be on the seventeenth of January
with Tusculum college.

The entire schedule for the season
has not been worked out as yet, but
Coach Honaker has secured two games
with each of the following teams: C-
Newman, Milligan, Tusculum, and L.
M. U. The complete schedule will not
be posted until after the Smoky Moun-
tain Basketball Conference meeting
which will be held in December 12.
It is probable that games will be play-
ed with King, East Tennessee Teachers,
and Cumberland this year.

Annual Oratorio
To Be Presented
Sunday At Three

Two Hundred Townspeople,

Faculty and Students

Will Take Part

'MR. COLBERT DIRECTS

Woods, Cathcart, Woodring,

Barber, Goddard, Reed

Are Soloists

George Frederick Handel's immortal
i oratorio, "The Messiah," will be pre-
sented by a group of two hundred stu-
dents, faculty, and townspeople in
Voorhees chapel tomorrow afternoon
at three o'clock. The chorus, compris-
ing in part the combined glee clubs
and the choir, will be under the direc-
tion of Mr. Ralph R. Colbert, and will
ue accompanied by the Maryville col-
lege orchestra under the direction of
Miss Dorothy Home.

The solo airs and recitatives will be
sung by Ruth Woods and Bernice
Cathcart, sopranos; Harriet Barber,
contralto; Richard Woodring, tenor;
and Edwin Goddard and Ralph Reed,
bassos. For the third consecutive year
Miss Garnet Manges, a graduate of
Maryville college, will be the piano ac-
companist. Ruth Mack will be the as-
istant pianist.

J. Alvin Keen, a graduate of West-
minster choir school, and Mary Frances
Henry, former voice instructor here,
introduced the "Messiah" at Maryville
in 1933, and this year marks the col-
lege's sixth successive presentation of
what is considered to be one of the
greatest choral works of all time. The
performance of the "Messiah" has been
cut this year to one hour and a half.

This greatest of oratorios was com-
posed by Handel at the age of 56 and
in the remarkably short time of 23
days. Contrary to Handel's usual in-
difference to the words set to his com-
positions, the text of this oratorio was
very carefully chosen from the literal
words of the old and new testament;
and the musical settings are hrighly
ft aautif ul and in perfect accord with
the sentiment of the Scripture.

Handel was invited to visit Ireland
by the Duke of Devonshire, lord lieu-
tenant, and was requested to compose
music for a festival in aid of the "poor
and distressed prisoners for debt" in
the Marshalsea of Dublin. In Novem-
ber of 1741, Dr. Handel arrived at Dub-
lin bringing his new oratorio, the "Mes-
siah," composed especially for the com-
ing benefit festival. It was presented
for the first time on April 13, 1742, and
the great hall in Fishamble Street was
densely crowded with an enthusiastic
'audience. Unlimited was the praise of

house was part of a program in which
all the women students in the dormi-
tories on the campus would at some
time have the opportunity of visiting
their home.

Funeral Of Edward Ciurczak Was Held
In Elizabeth, New Jersey Yesterday

The funeral of Ed Ciurczak, college
sophomore who died in the annual
Water Carnival last Saturday evening,
was held yesterday in Elizabeth, New
Jersey, according to a report received
earlier this week from Coach Edward
Gillingham and Gordon Findlay, who
accompanied Ciurczak's body to his
home.

Ciurczak died _______

while performing a
trick whfch was in-
cluded in the Wat-
er Carnival at his
own suggestion. The
exact cause of his
untimely death is
not known and in
the nature of the
case probably can-
not be ascertained.
When he was taken from the water it
was clear that he was in a serious con-
dition. First aid was quickly administ-
ered. Physicians arrived within a few

CIURCZAK

minutes. Every possible measure was
used by them and efforts to revive
him continued steadily under directions
of physicians and officials of the col-
lege for more than four hours, con-
siderably beyond the time that there
was any possible hope.

Enrolled in Maryville in September,
1937, Ciurczak has made a good re-
cord in his freshman and the first three
months of his sophomore year. He was
a member of the swimming team last
season, assistant to the swimming in-
structor for the present year, and has
twice made the honor roll.

The trick which resulted in his death
has been used in a modified form in
other years at Maryville. Ciurczak
stated that he had done It frequently
elsewhere; and so he was allowed to
include it on the program last Satur-
day evening. It had been successfully
rehearsed in the college pool a number
of times.

Time Capsule Bool-
Placed In Library

Tells Story, Gives Location

Of Tube Buried At

World's Fair

The Maryville college library was
last week the recipient of one of the
booklets entitled "The Time Capsule"
now being distributed to various lib-
raries and museums throughout the
world by the Westinghouse Manufact-
uring Company. These booklets contain
information as to the contents and
whereabouts of a tube, filled with data
concerning our modern civilization,
deposited in the World's Fair grounds
in New York. Libraries and museums
which have received these booklets
have been asked to preserve them in
their vaults, in the hope that should
our present civilzation be destroyed,
the finding of one of these books and
the consequent unearthing of the tube
would keep the achievements of our
age from being entirely lost. „

The tube is made of an alloy of 99.4
percent copper, .5 percent chromium,
and .1 percent silver, and is deemed
capable of resisting the effects of time
for five thousand years. The capsule
is a cylinder, seven and a half feet
in length, and eight and a half inches
in diameter, tapering to a point at each
end. Contents of the tube are sealed
within a pyrex envelope from which
all air has been removed. Within this
envelope are materials and information
touching upon all principal categories
of our thought activity and accomplish-
ment. Beoks and pictures describing
our houses, the way we live, modern
machinery, scientific discoveries and
modern methods of medicine have been
photographed on microfilm, page by
page, so that a great deal of information
may be condensed into as small a space
as possible. Also included is an instru-
ment for magnifying these films. Be-
sides copies of newspapers and a 140,-
000-word dictionary of the English
language there are enclosed small ar-
ticles representative of every-day com-
forts, three of which are a pair of
spectacles, a razor, and a woman's hat.

On the outside of the capsule is in-
scribed a message asking it not be
opened until 6939 A. D.

The booklet is now in the office of
the library where it may be obtained
for inspection upon request. It will
later be placed in the library vault.

Historical Drama
Given In Chapel

Humorous Play Presented

By Coffer, Miller On

December 9th

"The King's Dilemma," a three act
historical drama, was presented in
Voorhees chapel on Dec. 6 before a
large audience. This play by the Coff-
er-Miller players of Chicago depicted
the phase of the life of Henry VTII
concerned with his diplomatic marriage
to Anna von Cleves, a German princess.

The part of Anna was played by
Martha Miller; the part of Henry, by
Jess Coffer. Anna von Cleves proved
to be much cleverer than she appeared
to be, thereby avoiding the block, to
which several of Henry's previous
wives had gone. The ways in which
Anna obtained what she wanted: a
dastle, sefrvants, allowance, divorce,
contributed much to the humor and
subtlety of the play.

"The King's Dilemma" was sponsored
by the social committee, whose mem-
bers ushered, to help defray the ex-
penses of the social activities on the
campus.

Freshman Debaters
Start Preparations
For Team Tryouts

The freshman debate question has
not been officially stated as yet but
the majority of the schools that take
part in the freshman tournament have
chosen the question of British alli-
ance. The two debate classes have
started working on this question in
preparation for tryouts after Christ-
mas.

For the past two years the tourna-
ment has been held here but plans are
being made to hold it elsewhere, pro-
bably at Cumberland university, Leb-
anon, Tenn. Professor Queener hopes
that it will be possible to take the
freshman squad.

Combined Glee Clubs
Will Give Christmas
Program In Voorhees

The combined Glee clubs will give a
Christmas program in the chapel on
next Wednesday evening. The program
will begin with a background of organ
music, whjch will be followed with
antiphonal carol singing by the Glee
clubs. Solos will include a violin sel-
ection, "Cantique de Noel," by John
Guinter; a vocal selection, "Gesu Bam-
bino," by Louise Allen; and a piano
solo, "Trinity Chimes," by Louise Fel-
knor. John Wintermute will give sev-
eral Christmas readings to a musical
background.

The program will be followed by a
carol sing under the Christmas tree in
front of Thaw hall. A definite time for
these programs will be announced next
week in chapel.

Varsity debate tryouts are being held
this afternoon from 1:00 in Professor
Davis' class room in Anderson hall.
All of the 27 students trying out for
positions on the squad will debate the
question: "Resolved: that the govern-
ment should cease to use public funds
for the stimulation of business." Op-
ponents will be chosen by lot.

Eighteen men and nine women are
competing for the fourteen positions on
the team, including a large majority of
last year's members and several from
the freshman squad of last semester.

Those trying out this afternoon are:
Warren Ashby, J, N. Badgett, Paul
Brown, Pauline Cope, Ernest Craw-
ford, Mabel Ennis, William Felknor,
Sara Lee Heliums, Ruth Kort Kamp,

Dr. Orr Writes
Paper On Beliefs

Cumberland Presbyterian

And Their Creed Are

Study Subject

The Home Economics open house and
Christmas tea held from 2:30 to 5:30
yesterday afternoon was attended by
450 people, including faculty members,
town guests, high school students, and
college students.

Guests were greeted by members jf
the Home Economics department who
showed them to the fourth floor where
afghans, model houses, and a variety
of handicrafts were on display. The
use of materials used in the manufac-
ture of these handicrafts was demon-
strated by the students, each of whom
gave the general method and a few
details of the work. Among the most
outstanding of these handicrafts were
carving, spatter prints, oil painting,
pyrography, weaving, pastels, and pen
and ink work.

From here visitors went to the third
floor where clothing and foods were
on display. One room contained the
demonstrations of proper combinations
of what the man-about-town, the col-
lege man, and high school boy should
wear on different occasions. In the
next room were displays of materials
at various stages of manufacture, the
finished cloth, and the articles made
by the home economic students. On
one table were six costumes out of
which could be made twenty combin-
ations; and on another, recent books
on various phases of home economics
were artistically displayed.

Next came the home economics kit-
chen with its many varieties of decor-
ated cakes and other foods attractively
fixed for the times when one wants to
entertain. The pantry was the attrac-
tive result of economy and a little work
with its red-topped jars and neat ar-
rangement. The displays of cookies in
various guises and chocolate-covered
nuts and candies of many kinds added
color and variety. Among other in-
teresting things were demonstrations
of the preparation of favorite salad
ingredients, the use of kitchen equip-
ment, and devices to lighten household
tasks.

Tea was then served to the guests in
the home economics tea room by other
students. Guests signed at the door as
they came out, and from this registra-
tion list the number of visitors was
compiled. There were 40 faculty mem-
bers, 65 town guests, 138 high school
students, and 205 college students who
attended this open house and tea.

Dr. H. E. Orr, head of the depart-
ment of Bible and religious education,
has just completed a paper on the
Cumberland Presbyterians, entitled
"Adventuring in Heart Religion." The
paper, which deals with the various
phases of beliefs of this group and
how the beliefs express themselves in
the lives of the believers, is written in
eight chapters. The final chapter "Les-
sons in History," deals with the appli-
cation of their theology.

The college is to mimeograph about
one hundred copies of this paper, and
these copies are to be sent to local
ministers and other persons interested
in the subject. A copy will also be
placed in the college library.

Dr. Orr has made this study for his
own knowledge, and to understand
what the Cumberland Presbyterians
believe in contrast to the rest of the
denomination and the Methodists.

Dr. Hunter Will Read
Christmas Poetry On
Program In Pearsons

The second annual program of
Christmas poetry read by Dr. Edwin
R. Hunter, head of the English depart-
ment will be presented by the YWCA-
YMCA Sunday evening, Dec. 10, at 8:00
p.m. in Pearsons dining hall.

The combined "Y" program for Sun-
day evening will be the only activity

the "Messiah" in the afternoon there
will be no regular vespers; and the
Student Volunteers do not ordinarily
have a program the last Sunday be-
fore Christmas.

of the men's association, and Ruth
Mack, head of the music committee
for the YW, have wo-ked out the de-
tails of the p ram

Also included on the program will
be a vocal duet by Mary Alice Minear
dnd Ruth Andrews, "O Wonderful
Story."

Comes to Maryville After

Triumphant Debut At

Metropolitan

SELL TICKETS JAN. 6

Swedish Masters, Operatic

Arias, German Lieder

Are on Program

Jussi Bjoerling, gifted young Swed-
ish tenor of opera, concert, and radio
fame, will appear on the current Artist
series on January 11, at 8:15 in Voor-
hees chapel. He comes to Maryville
college fresh from a triumphant debut
and an extended engagement with the
Metropolitan opera association. Al-
though but 26 years old, and with only
one previous visit to America as a
mature artist to his credit, Bjoerling
has already, with his recordings, his
nation-wide broadcasts, and his opera
and concert appearances, won himself
a lasting place as one of the truly great
tenors of our time.

Bjoerling's earliest musical experi-
ence came at the age of eight when he
toured the United States with his fath-
er and two brothers as the Bjoerling
quartet. Soon after his return to his
native country he attracted the at-
tention of a cultivated fellow-country-
woman, Julia Svedelius, whose interest
did much to stimulate him to further
study. His first formal training was
received at the Royal Opera school in
Stockholm, where he had the invalu-
able opportunity of studying with the
great John Forsell, director of the
Kugsholm opera and himself a fine
artist of the last generation. His de-
but there was followed by six years of
leading roles which made him a na-
tional favorite. Concerts and operatic
parts in Dresden, Vienna, Paris, Brus-
sels, London and Prague followed. La
1937 he visited this country for the
first time since his boyhood, and met
with an enthusiastic reception in Chi-
cago and New York.

November 24 of this year marked
his achievement of probably the great-
est distinction that can come to any
singer: a debut in a leading role at
the Metropolitan. He appeared in the
part of Rudolpho in Puccini's "La Bo-
heme" and his press notices were un-
animous in their approval of his music-
ianship. Francis Perkins of the "Her-
ald Tribune" commented that "the
twenty-seven year-old Swedish tenor
lost no time in displaying a voice of
exceptional caliber, without any overt
hints of debut nervousness. The volume
is strong and the natural quality pleas-
ing, while the singer's ability to pro-
ject and sustain top notes of unusual
power and sonority made his success
with the large audience a matter be-
yond any doubt "The quality of

the middle and lower tones was warm
and appealing, fluently produced, and
the phrasing and general interpreta-
tion in these vocal regions were musi-
cianly and well-schooled. His voice
proved an effective vehicle of emotion-
al color." Olin Downes, distinguished
critic of the "New York Times" end-
ed a most favorable review with the
statement that "the sum of it was a
tenor of ample tone and quality for
the role, with a B-flat which rings
and carries, and which has by no
means reached the summit of its dev-
elopment."

The program Mr. Bjoerling is to pre-
sent here will include a representative
group of German lieder, songs by two
Swedish masters, and three well-
known arias from the standard opera-
tic repertoire. He will be accompanied
by Harry Ebert. The complete pro-
gram follows:

I
"Adelaide" Beethoven

II
"An Sylvia" Schubert

"Die bose Farbe" Schubert

'Morgan" Strauss

"Caecilie" Strauss

Christmas

Merry-Uille Qo Round

By FRED RHODy

"Good afternoon. Are you Mr. Frogfuzz?"

"The man who stands between my ears,

Has had that name for many years.

And may your Christmas Day be spent,

In happiness, and true content."

"I was going to ask you if you were the Mr. Frogfuzz
who writes the verses for Christmas cards, but I see
ther's no need to ask. I've been looking for you for years,
to get an interview for my paper. Why do you hide your-
self away, alone on this barren island in the middle of the
ocean?"

"Tis not by my own will, my man,

That I upon this island am.

And cheery greetings send I you,

This Christmas and the whole year through."

"Same to you. But, still, why don't you shave and

come home and get a clean shirt? Incidentally, maybe you

could learn to write poetry."

"On this bleak isle until I die,
I must remain; I don't know why..
And may this season's Christmas cheer,
Make glad and happy your New Year."
"You know, I think I'm beginning to understand why
you are cooped up here this way."

"It seems that men don't like my verse,
And, as for me, they like me worse.
So here they put me as you see,
To let me bore myself with me.
A merry Christmas, full of cheer,
And good luck follow you all year.
Just once each year, at Christmas times,
They let me write a lot of rimes;
So I compose the greeting cards,
You always send with your regards.
From verses that I've written, may
You be spared this Christmas Day."

FRESHMUN FUNN

By CAP'N BELLS

' Christmas! That season which for years and centuries
has been the most joyous and spiritually beneficial time
of all the year!

Christmas! Bringing with it that comfortable feeling
of family unity and affection; and bringing, too, in a
greater measure than ever before, that sense of brother-
hood with the whole great family of mankind!

Christmas! With its exeking odors of evergreen and
plum pudding; its gleaming streams of tinsel dripping from
the rich green of the spruce; its mysterious sounds of
swishy tissue paper being manipulated during the gift-
wrapping operations, while eager children of all ages
| listen breathlessly in the next room; its cheery holly
wreaths sending greetings from every window of the house;
and its distant strains of Christmas carols coming faintly
through the clear cold night, as a group of happy, bundled
singers makes its rounds.

Christmas! Consciousness that the things we love and
value most highly today have not come to us through our
own merit or efforts, but through that great gift given to
the world twenty centuries ago. Awareness that the great-
est gifts always bring joy to the giver and to the receiver!

"And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they
were sore afraid.

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people.

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord

"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude
of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying,

"Glory to God in tke highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men."

Luke 2:9, 10, 11, 13, 14.

-O-

Eddy Ciurczak

The sudden feeling of astonishment and loss that
swept over the students of Maryville college last Saturday
evening can hardly be expressed. That a calamity so great
could take place in so short a time was hard to believe.

Laughing and joking, Eddy Ciurczak entered the col-
lege pool, and a few minutes later he was pulled out un-
conscious and quite evidently in a very serious condition.
Teammates found it almost impossible to believe anything
could be so seriously wrong as they worked over his body
for four hours. Only a few minutes before he had been
leading in the preparations for the Water Carnival. One
short day before he had been walking around the pool
making suggestions to the swimmers who were practicing.
A week before he had been chatting with friends in the
chemistry lab and talking over his plans for the future. It
simply could noi be true.

Only with the passage of time has the real loss been
felt. His cheerful greetings on the campus, his quiet effi-
ciency in the laboratory, his helpful suggestions in the
swimming pool are more vividly remembered as the reali-
zation of his loss comes to us. Eddy Ciruczak spent exact-
ly twelve months of his life at Maryville and during that
twelve months he left a lasting impression for scholarship
and good sportsmanship that will not be forgotten. Eddy
Ciruczak was the friend of every student who knew him
and his loss leaves a feeling of emptiness and sorrow that
is beyond expression.

"Hark, the herald angels sing, ta, de, da, de, da, dum,
dum." Those Christmas carols we hear being hummed all
around us have something in their music that gets us,
don't they? And why not! They're good for everything from
high fever to low grades. So let's take it all together now,
folks, and "make it ring," "Joy to the world, da, de, dum,
dum."

Christmas has been here since Thanksgiving for the
commercial world, with Santa Claus arriving on that day
by airplane, and along with him the usual spree of buying.
Next thing we know, our be-whiskered friend will be
coming by rocket on Labor Day. After that? Let H G.
Wells worry. (Haven't seen them yet, but we'll gamble our
purple Christmas garters that somebody, somewhere, is
selling mechanical toys called "Men from Mars"!)

• * *

Gift Suggestion: For Phyllis Heaton, Peggy Carter,
Lois Thorson, and Janet Lindsay, a clock, so that they can
get to Pearsons within five minutes after the doors open.
(Record to date: 10 min., 50 sec.) Another gift sug.: for
every girl, a bankroll. (Revolutionary, what?) Still another
gift sug.: for the social committee, a big bouquet of noses,
(and with every rose, a "Thank you").

During the bootball frenzy, we'd have sworn our fav-
orite combination was orange and garnet. But now that
we have become ourselves again, we're sure it is red and
green. We'd like to add white, for snow, but the editor, who
knows, says white is not a color.

• * •

Hint: Everybody (yes, you too) is expected to give a
present to the personnel department before he leaves. A
senior told me so. He said, "Don't cut classes Thursday.
The personnel office counts on your presents here Thurs-
day morning."

• • • *

There's-Always-Something Dep't.: In the land of St.
Nicholas, Hitler is twisting the word "Santa" into "Satan."
Christmas here in God's country is something to look for-
ward to. Long live Santa Claus!

Present Messiah

(Continued from Page One)
newspapers and critics, and poets and
tattlers exhausted every figure in their
praise of the new composition. So great
v2as the excitement aroused by the first
performance that ladies of the period
consented to leave their hoops at home
in order that an additional listeners
might be gotten into the room. The
proceeds amounted to 400 pounds, and
the event may truly be regarded as
the greatest in Handel's life. Adhering
to this memorable precedent, perfor-
mances of the "Messiah" today contri-
bute more money to charity than does
any other work of art.

The first English performance of this
oratorio was at Covent Garden theatre,
London, in March, 1743. It was on this
occasion, during the singing of the
"Hallelujah Chorus," that King Geo-
rge II, greatly impressed by the music,
stood up; at once the courtiers and
people followed suit, thus originating
a very pleasant custom which has been
followed by "Messiah" audiences since
that time.

The program for the presentation this
year is as follows:
Overture — orchestra
Tenor Recitative: "Comfort ye my Peo-
ple"
Air: "Every valley shall be exalt-
ed"

Richard Woodring
Chorus: "And the Glory of the Lord"
Alto Recitative: "Behold, a virgin shall
conceive"
Air and Chorus: "O thou that tell-
est good tidings to Zion"
Harriet Barber
Bass Recitative: "For behold, darkness
shall cover the earth/'
Air: "The people that walked in
darkness'

Ralph Reed
Chorus: "For unto us a Child is born"
Orchestra — pastoral symphony
Soprano Recitatives: "There were
shepherds abiding in the field"
"And lo! the angel of the Lord
came upon them"
"And the angel said unto them"
"And suddenly there was the
angel"

Bernice Cathcart
Chorus: "Glory to God"

A LOSS TO M.C.

All of you who knew Ed Ciurczak realized that he
was not only one of the finest athletes on the Hill, but also
one of the finest men on the campus. Ed was regard-
ed by his team-mates as the best swimmer at Maryville,
and his death occured while he was engaged in his favorite
sport. We will always remember him as an athlete and as
one of the best sports on the Hill.
JOKE

One of the best quips tossed out last night at the an-
nual turkey stuffin' was by Coach Thrower. The two
coaches, Honaker and Thrower, had just been presented
shirts and ties by Al Burris, and Coach Thrower thanked
them and then said, "We should be giving you boys the
presents, but since you started it, we'll just let you finish
it."
NO JOKE !

Last week we were speaking of the good old days.
Well, last night Mr. Steinmetz, who managed the 1906
football team, told us of the trip they took that year. On
successive days they played Ole Miss, Auburn, Alabama,
Tennesse, and Sewanee. That's some schedule!
ANOTHER JOKE

Another pretty good joke came from Coach Honaker
after Mr. Steinmetz had finished telling of the 1906 trip.
Quote— Coach Honaker, "I want you to notice how these
managers do it, Mr. Steinmetz told you how we beat Ala-
bama, Tennessee, Ole Miss and etc., but when we came
home, I'll be darned if they didn't go and lose to Sewanee."

Sully took his pictures and we went home. Another
football season ended.
IT'S THE CUSTOM!
Dear Santy-Klaus:

We want a championship basketball team, a champ-
ionship ' wrestling team, a championship track team, a
chimpionship baseball team, a championship swimming
team, a championship tennis team, and something to write
about each week in our column.

Yures Truly,

Scot Cagers Open
Season Tonight

Play Hiwassee Here On
Wednesday Night

SCRIBE VISITS RASSLIN'

When Coach Robert Thrower was
asked about the prospects for this
year's varsity wrestling squad, Coach
Bob retorted, "You just come up to
some practice, and if you see any good
prospects, point 'em out to me."

This sounded anything but encour-
aging; so Wednesday afternoon found
Ye Echo Sports Scribe wending his
weary way to second floor Bartlett
hall, where the rasslers hold their
daily practice. Quite a number of the
men were already in sweat suits, and
were going through their preliminary
exercises. The first that that attraeted
our attention was Clem Hahn throw-
ing a combined Japanese toe hold, dou-
ble wristlock, and double hammer lock
on his playmate.

"Gosh! Hahn looks as though he'll
be plenty good thi3 year, Coach," the
writer ventured.

"Yeah, Hahn would be all right if he
had two more arms, another pair of
legs, and something to think with,"
retorted Coach Bob.

However, Coach called on Clem and
Obie Jenkins to demonstrate a few
holds so he must have been joking
about Clem, not knowing his stuff.

After Obie and Clem had taught the
boys all they knew, Coach had the
boys pair off with one another, and be-
gin limbering up for a series of three
minutes bouts.

Quite a few of the experienced men
looked as though they will be hard to
beat later in the year, and several new-
comers displayed some mighty classy
grappling. After seeing the boys work
out, Ye Freshy Scribe is inclined to
believe Coach Thrower must not have
been in his usual sweet humor when
he complained about his squad not be-
ing up to par.

CHANDLER-SINGLETON CO.

The Scottie cagers will open their
season tonight in an exhibition game
with the Friendsville Independents.
The game tonight will be some indi-
cation of what material Coach Hona-
ker will have to depend on for the rest
of the season, although don't depend
too much on the showing tonight be-
cause many of the first string boys
have been practicing only a week due
to the late football season. Coach Hon-
aker will probably start the three
Baird brothers, Scot Honaker and Dale
Russell. With Etheredge, the only
other first squad man back, seeing lots
of action, Honaker will undoubtedly
use plenty of men in tonight's game in
order to see what they have got.

The Friendsville team will have Lee
Hannah, former Maryville star and an
all-conference selection two years
back, playing in the center spot for
them. Other players will probably be
John Henry, formerly of Maryville,
Curley Kennedy, an LMU player; Bill
Chapman, Bob Peters, and Dan Magill,
who is the brother of "Flash" Magill
last year's high scorer for Maryville.

This Wednesday night, the High-
landers will play Hiwassee Junior col-
lege here.

The Scottie Scrubs will tangle with
the Alcoa High team in the prelimin-
ary game starting at 7.-©0.

JAMES ETHEREDGE ELECTED

FOOTBALL CAPTAIN FOR '39

Arnold Kramer Elected Alternate Captain At Football
Banquet Attended By 72

Weldon Baird, Kilbourne, Ohio, who
is the only senior on the team, and will
lead the Scotties in the game tonight.

James Etheredge of Town Creek,
Alabama, was elected captain of the
1939 football team Thursday night by
the members of the squad. He will
succeed Alva Burris of Mulberry, Fla.
Arnold Kramer, Maryville product, was
chosen as alternate captain.

Swimming Team
Holds Practice

The swimming team has resumed
light practice each afternoon at five
o'clock. In the absence of Coach Gil-
lingham, practice is conducted by John
Ballenger, the manager, and the mem-
bers of the team.

The first meets are being lined up
for January. No dates will be decided,
however, until the basketball schedule
is made up. The swimming schedule
will carry through February and part
of March.

The certified lifeguards of the swim-
ming squad are meeting the regular
classes and open periods at Bartlett
pool until the Christmas holidays.

Interclass Sports

The interclass basketball season will
start immediately after Christmas.

No definite schedule can be made
until after the varsity schedule has
been arranged. However, as in the in-
terclass football, each team will play
each other team twice. The first game
will be freshmen vs. seniors. A junior-
soph tilt will complete the first round.

Gene Orr is directing the tourna-
ment. Each class athletic director will
be in charge of his team. The class
directors are: Judy, seniors, Morrow,
juniors; Peterson, sophs,; and Wilson,
freshmen.

The tournament last year was won
by the Junior team. The seniors will
miss Colombo, the outstanding player

of last season, but left of last year's
quintet are McCaskie and Judy, who
will show their opponents plenty of
stuff. Morrow will be gone from the
junior squad leaving Stevenson to
spark the football champs; Van Blar-
com, one of last year's best will be on
the soph team. Peterson will be miss-
ing, however; the freshmen are an un-
known quantity.

An all-star team will be chosen from
all classes by the athletic directors. It
is probable that this team will play
the winners of the tournament. All
basketball games will be played in the
Alumni gym. According to plans now
the games will be played at night. Any
man in each class is eligible except
those out for varsity basketball after
Christmas.

James "Joe" Etheredge, an end, has
lettered three years, and will probably
be chosen on the All-Smoky Moun-
tain Conference team. Etheredge in
thanking his team-mates for the honor
bestowed on him, said, "I certainly
want to thank you for the honor you
have given me, but I want to say that
I can hardly hope to do as fine a job
next year as Al Burris did this. All I
can say is that we will be out to win the
Conference Championship in 1839.:'
Arnold Kramer, big 190 pound tackle,
also another probable selection of the
All-SMC team, echoed Etheredge's
sentiments.

The football banquet was attended
by 72 people. Mr. Ralph R. Colbert
was the toastmaster and introduced the
main speaker of the evening, the Rev.
R. O. Eller of the Southern Methodist
church, who congratulated the mem-
bers of the squad, and told them that
football was a part of a well rounded
life.

Coach Honaker also congratulated
the team members, and called this
year's team the most interesting team
to watch that he has seen at Maryville
in ten years. Quoting Coach Honaker,
"With a few breaks, I believe that this
year's team could easily have won the
Confarence." He cited a number of ex-
amples in the games played this year.

He said, "The Lenoir-Rhyne game,
which was a 12-12 tie, was the fiwt
game in several years that we have
failed to make at least one extra point
after touchdowns, in games where
there have been more than two touch-
downs. Another thing that was against
us were the injuries. We have had
more broken bones this season than in
any other five years combined."

Other talks were given by Mr. Bar-
bour of Knoxville; Mr. Steinmetz of

Knoxville, who was manager of the
most famous team Maryville has ever
had, the team of 1906; Captain Al Bur-
ris, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Lloyd, Coach
Thrower, and Dr. McClelland. Captain
Al Burris was presented with a silver
trophy by his team-mates, the pre-
sentation being made by Arnold Kra-
mer, who thanked Burris on behalf of
his team-mates for the fine leadership
he has shown them.

CIURCZAK

(Cont. from Page One)

The trick provides for a swimmer to
be placed in an ordinary bag, ropes to
be tied to give an impression that he
is confined in it, while in fact the bag
is not fastened and the swimmer em-
erges from it immediately after he is
under water and releases a cork as a
signal that he is safely out. He then
swims to a point at the edge of the
pool where there is an arrangement
for his breathing. There he remains
out of sight until an appointed time to
reappear to the crowd.

The apparatus was tested beforehand
and up to a certain point all went as
planned. Ciurczak was let into the
water feet first, the signal to show that
ke had di^ifgd of the bag was rec-
onized, and the next event on the
program was carried through,

When he did not appear as expected,
several swimmers went into the pool,
found him lying on the bottom, took
him out, and rendered first aid at once.
Artificial respiration was administered
for four hours by registered life guards
despits the fact that from the first there
was almost no hope for him.

Sunday afternoon at five o'clock a
memorial service was conducted in
Voorhees chapel by faculty members,
students and an alumnus.

Registration For Next Semester To
Begin On Monday; Lasts Until Feb. 3

Seniors Register Next Week, Juniors-Sophomores Begin

Jan. 23, And Freshmen, Jan. 30,

Bill Deadline, Feb. 3

As in previous years, registration of
old students for the second semester
will be completed by the close of the
present semester. Instead, of setting
aside two afternoons for that purpose,
as was done last year, the registration
schedule will be extended over the last
three weeks of the semester.

The registration of seniors will begin
next Monday, Jan. 16, at the Personnel
office and will continue during the
week, closing on Saturday, Jan. 21. A
credit card, tentative schedule card,
and information sheet were given to
each senior at chapel this morning. The
tentative schedule card should be fill-
ed out by the student, then should be
approved and signed by the major
professor. It should then be presented
at the Personnel office for further ap-
proval and for the filling out of the re-
gular registration card. After this has
been checked and approved at the Per-
sonnel office, it should be taken as soon
as possible, during the regular student
hours, to the Treasurer's office, for
the assessment of the bills. Payment
may be made at that time, or later, but
should not be delayed beyond Friday,
Feb. 3, the last day of the semester,
after which the late payment fee of
$5.00 will be required. All seniors
should complete their registration at
the Personnel office by Saturday, Jan.
21, since the late registration fee of
$2.50 will be charged each senior re-
gistering after that date.

Registration of juniors and sopho-

mores will be conducted in a similar
manner during the week of Jan. 23 to
28. Credit cards and tentative schedule
cards will be given to members of these
classes at chapel on Saturday of the
previous week. The late registration
fee of $2.50 will be required of sopho-
mores and juniors registering at the
Personnel office after Jan. 28.

Freshmen will be registered during
the week of Jan. 30 to Feb. 3, that is
during the week of the final examina-
tions. Each freshman should call at
the Personnel office early as possible
in that week to receive his tentative
schedule card, and to fill out the re-
gular registration card. Any necessary
changes from the schedule of the first
semester will be made at that time.
When freshmen register they should be
prepared to state the particular
courses in physical training they wish
to take.

All students are asked to register as
early as possible in the weeks design-
ated for their respective classes. This
will serve to eliminate a long waiting
in line at the close of the week. It
should be clearly understood that bills
will not need to be paid at the time
of registration, but that the cards when
approved by the Personnel office
should be taken as soon as possible,
during the regular student hours, to
the Treasurer's office, for the assess-
ment of bills. Late registration fees
are charged for registration after the

Newly Finished Gate
To Bear Bronze Plaque
Acknowledging Donor

The new 600 dollar gateway in the
northeast entrance to the college cam-
pus was completed during the Christ-
mas holidays. Designed by Barber and
McMurry, Knoxviile architects, the im-
posing brick and stone pillars will bear
a bronze tablet acknowledging them
as the gift of Mrs. John Walker, whose
generosity has been responsible for so
many other improvements to the col-
lege.

Uniform in design with the two pre-
sent gateways to the campus donated
by the classes of 1917 and 1928, the
new gate is thirteen and a half feet
high with allowance for a twenty-eight
foot driveway and two walks to pass
through it. The structure has been
placed at right angles to College street,
although the boundary of the campus

Eight Will Be Chosen From

Twenty-Two Candidates

For Squad

Internat'l Relations
Club To Discuss Lima
Conference Results

The conference of American Repub-
lics at Lima, Peru, which figured in
the news last week, will be discussed
from every angle at a meeting of the
International Relations club, formerly
the Peace Forum, Friday at 6:45 in
Thaw hall auditorium. The attitudes
taken by the countries involved, the
things accomplished at the conference,
and their bearing on the future will be
presented in discussion groups.

Albert Rosser will give a short his-
tory of the conference and its back-
ground at the beginning of the meeting.
Afterward the audience will be divid-
ed into groups. The discussion of one
group will be lead by Harold Copeland
on the attitude of European countries
toward the conference. Another will
be lead by Robert Lucero on the part
taken by South American countries,
while William B. Felknor will lead a
discussion in the third group on the
role of the United States.

The Peace Forum meets for the first
time on this occasion under its new
name "The International Relations
club." The organization has become
affiliated with the Carnegie Founda-
(Continued on page four)

Tryouts for the freshman debate
team will be held Feb. 7, according to
Professor Verton M. Queener, instruc-
tor in freshman debate.

The question for discussion "Resolv-
ed: That the United States should form
an alliance with Great Braitain" will
be debated by 27 of the 44 registered
in the class. Eight of these, four men
and four women, will compose the
freshman debate squad.

Miss Grace Proffitt, a graduate of
Maryville and a former varsity debat-
er and officer of Pi Kappa Delta, will
assist in the coaching of the freshman
team.

Discussing the prospects for the sea-
son Professor Queener stated, "There
are several good prospects this year.
The squad will compare favorably with
those of other years." If present tenta-
tive plans are completed the freshman
team will begin its regular season
about March 1, with a tournament at
Union college, Jackson, Tennessee.

Those students selected to compete
in the tryouts are Virginia Berg, Do-
rothy Buchanan, Peggy Carter, Frank
Cross, Warren Culver, Betty Jean Fe-
lix, Katherine Gunnels, Phyllis Hea-
ton, Jane Hughes, Wilfred Johnson,
Janet Lindsay, Lucille Lynch, Robert
Martin, Allan Moore, Glenn McAfee,
Barbara Parsons, John Rogerville, John
Ross, Morris Stewart, George Tibbetts,
Ruth Whaley, Wendell Whetstone,
Henry Wick, Hilton Wick, Martha Wil-
cox, Harry Wilson, and Edna Gleaton.

Maryville's debate team opened the
1939 season last Tuesday evening in
Thaw hall against Ripon college of
Ripon, Wisconsin. Ripon was given u
decision over Maryville's team by
Professor Melvin Morehouse of Knox-
ville college, who acted as critic judge.

Dave Miller and Tom Alison of Ripon
upheld the affirmative side of the Pi
Kappa Delta question: Resolved, that
the United States should cease to use
public funds for the purpose of stimu-
lating business. Cliff Proctor and Ar-
nold Kramer represented Maryville as
the negative team.

Professor Morehouse, in rendering
the decision, said that both sides show-
ed thorough preparation and that the
issues were so closely contested that
the margin between the teams was
very small, but that he thought that
Ripon held a slight edge over Mary-
ville.

Professor Morehouse also commented
on the excellence of Maryville's de-
bates, despite the fact that this was
the first of the season for Maryville.

In the tryouts for the varsity debate
team held before the Christmas holi-
days nine men and six women were
chosen to make up the 1939 squad
Those making the men's team were
Ernest Crawford, Arnold Kramer, Ro-
bert Lamont, Vernon Lloyd, Bruce
Morgan, Otto Pflanze, Clifford Proctor,
George Webster, and Tommy Woolf.

The women's squad is to be com-
posed of Curtmarie Brown, Pauline
Cope, Sara Lee Heliums, Harriet Mil-
ier, Louise Proffitt, and Arda Walker.

Tryouts for the 27 students com-
peting for place on the team consisted
of competitive speeches made by each
of the contestants and the team was
chosen from the rating of each of the
contestants and the team was chosen
from the rating of each of the contest-
ants by judges. Dr. Edmund W. Davies,
Dr. D. H. Briggs and Prof. L. L. Wil-
liams served as judges.

College Plans Three
Art Exhibitions From
National Federation

During the spring the Maryville col-
lege art department will sponsor three
exhibitions which have been arranged
by the American Federation of Arts, of
which the art department is a mem-
ber. The exhibitions will show the Car-
negie prints, American paintings, and
French peasant costumes.

The first exhibition is scheduled for
February 7 to 21, and will be the Car-
negie prints, a group of 50 prints of
fairly modern pajnters. The second ex-
hibition will be here in the evenings
of March 21 and 28, and will be il-
lustrated lectures on American paint-
ing. The first lecture will follow the
history of painting from the early Un-
ited States period up to the modern
work. The second lecture will be on
contemporary American painting. The
third exhibition is of hand-drawn and
hand-colored designs of French pea-
sant costumes, and will be of a his-
torical nature.

This is the second year that Ameri-
can Federation of Art exhibitions have
been here. Last year they were viewed
by more than 300 persons, and consist-
ed of illuminated manuscripts, and In-
dian pottery designs.

Representatives of Maryville at the
meetings of several college associations
in Louisville, Ky., this week include
Pres. and Mrs. Ralph W. Lloyd, Dr.
H. E. Orr, Miss Susan A Green, and
Miss Clemmie J. Henry. President
Lloyd is chairman of two of the groups
meeting, the Conference of Church Re-
lated Colleges and the Pan-Presbyter-
ian College Union.

The schedule for the week included
the meeetings of various groups of col-
leges affiliated with the principal de-
nominations on Monday and Tuesday;
the Pan-Presbyterian College Union on
Tuesday; meetings of the Council of
Church Boards of Education and of the
National Conference of Church Relat-
ed Colleges on Wednesday; and the as-
sociation of American College on
Thursday and Friday.

Many prominent speakers from all
over the United States appeared on the
program.

M.L.A. Hears Paper
Written By Collins

Discusses Play as Part Of

Decadence Movement

In Germany

Audience Of 1100
Receive Bjoerling
With Enthusiasm

Varied Program Presented

By Young Met. Tenor

On Jan. 11

Dr. Ralph S. Collins, associate pro-
fessor of French and German, read an
original paper, "Hermann Bahr — Die
Mutter, a play of the Decadence," be-
fore the fifty-fifth annual meeting cf
the Modern Language association in
New York City, December 28-30, 1938.
Dr. Hill Shine, professor of English,
also attended the association meeting.

The M.L.A. meets each year between
Christmas and New Year's in one of
the larger cities of the country, at
which time researoh work is presented
by individuals and criticized by other
members of the association. For more
efficient work, the meetings attended
by 2500 persons in 1938, are divided in-
to groups of the various periods of
English, American, or foreign litera-
ture. Dr. Collins' paper was read be-
fore the Modern German literature
group.

"Hermann Bahr— Die Mutter, a play
of the Decadence" discusses the play
as a part of the Decadence movement,
a definition of which Dr. Collins limits
to "a negative evaluation of the forces
of civilization and culture, in which
the progressive differentiation and re-
finement of man's soul and feelings are
considered signs of decay."

From this definition the author con-
siders the background of the movement,
mentioning Rousseau, Montesquieu, and
Gibbon in the eighteenth, and Byron,
Heine, and Nietzche early nineteenth
century as developing the general idea
of the Decadence as a negative force.
About the middle of the last century
Schopenhauer's pessimistic philosophy
had a large influence on the French
movement; and Baudelaire, French
poet of the same period, was one of
the same period, was one of the first
to give the Decadence a positive mean-
ing.

Dr. Shine reports as the high-point
of the American and English literature
group meetings which he attended the
reading of a paper by Maxwell Ander-
son, modern American playwright, en-
titled "The Essence of Tragedy." Mr.
Anderson described the chief necessity
of tragedy as a discovery on the part
(Continued on page four)

A capacity audience of over 1100
people gave an enthusiastic reception to
Jussi Bjoerling, outstanding young ten-
or of the Metropolitan opera in his
concert here Wednesday evening. Hie
program, one of the most carefully
chosen ever presented here, was en-
cored repeatedly, and from the first,
Mr. Bjoerling's pleasant and unaffected
presence won the sympathetic attention
of his audience.

The opening number was the long
and exacting "Adelaide" of Beethoven.
The second group consisted of lieder by
two German composers and included
Schubert's "An Sylvia" and "Die Bose
Farbe" and Ricahrd Strauss' 'Morgen"
and "Caecilie." The encore was Geehl's
beautiful ballad, "For You Alone."
Two arias from Mr. Bjoerling's exten-
sive operatic repertoire followed, "O
Paradiso" from "L'Africana" by Meyer-
beer and the familiar air from Puccini's
"Tosca."

After the intermission Mr. Bjoerling
sang four songs by Scandinavian com-
posers, a feature of all his concerts
and radio appearances. Included were
"In the Dream" by Emil Sjogren and
"Flicken kom" by Sibelius. For his fin-
al offering Mr. Bjoerling returned to
his favorite genre, the opera, and sang
"The Dream" from "Manon" and "The
Flower Song" from "Carmen," and en-
cored with "La Donna e Mobile" from
"Rigoletto" and Rudolfo's narrators
from "La Boheme."

Mr. Bjoerling was accompanied by
Harry Ebert, an artist in his own right,
who supplemented his judicious and
restrained accompaniment withFaure's
"Impromptu" and Ravel's "Alborado
del Gracisso."

Disc Club Programs
Will Include A Large
Group Of New Records

A new recording of Tchaikowsky's
fifth symphony was presented at the
Disc club's first meeting since the holi-
days. The meeting was held on Friday
afternoon at 4:30 with Mildred Dallas
as commentator. j

The program was the first of the
series planned for this semester by a
representative group of Disc club
members which met Tuesday evening
at the home of Miss Katherine Davies.
This series will include a Wagnerian
instrumental program, a complete re-
cording of the opera, "Cavaleria Rusti-
cana," by Pietro Mascagni, a new
group of Stephen Foster recordings,
Mozart's G minor, Beethoven's, 9th
symphony, Franck's D minor, Schu-
bert's Unfinished Symphony, and a
program of modern music by such
composers as Strauss, Ravel, and De-
bussy.

The Disc club has no formal organi-
zation and is open to all students and
faculty members who are interested in
hearing recordings of their favorite in-
strumental and vocal selections.

Jussi Bjoerling's Great Love Is Opera

By ROBERT K. BRANDRIFF

In spite of newspaper publicity about
his temperament, and an impressive
list of triumphs in opera and on the
radio and concert stage, twenty -seven
year-old Jussi Bjoerling is one of the
most approachable artists ever to ap-
pear on a Maryville artist series. The
recital over and the autograph seek-
ers satisfied, he at once became is
friendly and affable as an unspoiled
schoolboy — and as unaffected. His hu-
morous acceptance of his difficulties
with the English language only added
to the ease and naturalness of his con-
versation.

His great love is opera, beside the
glamour and color of which concert

enthusiasm that it was Rudolpho in
"La Boheme." This is easily under-
standable since it was in this same
popular work of Puccini's that he has
enjoyed his two greatest successes to
date. In 1936 he sang the part in a
special performance of the opera dedi-
cating John D. Rockefeller's gift of an
American wing to the Cite Universite
in Paris, and just two months ago he
made his Metropolitan debut in the
same part with the success that is the
dream of every singer.

When he's not singing, Mr. Bjoerling
said he liked "to do everything, but
especially hunt and fish." He is also a
skilled pianist, and plays his own ac-
companiments during his hours of

singing must be pretty tame. Asked his j study. Then there are always new roles
favorite role, he replied with evident i to be prepared, or old ones learned in

some other language, programs to be
planned, and an unceasing search for
new songs to be carried on, so that he
never gets very far from music, even
during vacations.

The Bjoerlings and their son, Anders,
live in one cf Stockholm's 90,000 co-
operative flat close to the Royal Op-
era, where ten years ago, at the age
of 17, Jussi Bjoerling began his pro-
fessional operatic career. The Venice-
of-the-North, Stockholm is a city of
boats. To the inquiry as to whether he
also had one he laughed, "Goodness,
yes. Three!", and in one of them he
week-ends regularly during the sum-
mer at his island home at Skargarden.

Although this is his third visit to the
United States, Maryville is the farthrest

The Athenian Literary society has
chosen "You Can't Take It With You,"
a comedy by Kaufman and Hart, as
their annual midwinter, to be pre-
sented on February 24. The theme of
the play is the value and permanence
of friendship. The play saw a very
successful run of two years on Broad-
way and has recently been made into
a movie starring Lionel Barrymore.

Tryouts for the parts will be held
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
next week.

Not For Monetary Value

Wednesday evening students of the college had the op-
portunity of seeing and hearing one of the most widely
discussed artists of the present day, Jussi Bjoerling, young
Metropolitan opera tenor.

People do not listen to concerts, or read good books,
or look at paintings for the purpose of increasing their
monetary income in life. Nor is appreciation of the fine arts
dependent upon economic or intellectual achievement. Un-
derstanding and love of the beautiful can be developed
regardless of normal variations in the other spheres of
living; but not without some effort. To know and enjoy
good music, just as to know and enjoy good books, re
quires time and effort.

To progress toward complete enjoyment and love of
music, poetry, and art, should be a part of our general
aim, just as we are also trying to progress toward complete
knowledge and ability in the vocational field of our par-
ticular interest..

.-■■■:..'

v On the second floor of Anderson hall, we have an art
gallery containing a number of valuable paintings done by
Mrs. Elizabeth Gowdy Baker, eminent painter of life-size
portraits in pure water color. Students (particularly fresh-
men) who have been neglecting their esthetic development,
will find it profitable and interesting to visit the art 'gal-
lery some afternoon. ^ - • ........

fat) " '*"" "''•

} V (Reprinted from the Los Angeles Collegian)

When Mussolini first marched his black shirted le-
gions into Ethiopia, he perfected an old philosophy of pos-
session: "It's mine because I want it!"

Benito wanted Ethiopia; he got it. Adolph wanted first
Austria and now a good part of Czechoslovakia; he got
them. What the world now wonders is where will it stop?
By these same tokens Hitler could demand parts of the
United States for possessions. Rather absurd? Not at all.
Milwaukee, which is as much, if not more German than
Sudetenland, could well demand a plebiscite for self-
determination.

Philadelphia, which is even more German than- Mil-
waukee, would soon follow suit. It would not be long ere
the German embassy in Washington would be delivering
the curt notes from der Feuhrer to the state department.
After all, Germany must look after her children in all
nations, United States not excepted.

As far-fetched as the theory may be, in essence it is
the same thing that happened in Czechoslovakia. A sane
sensible world must do something to scotch the theory, "It's
mine because I want it!"

WE RESOLVE

NOTE: Having become increasingly conscious of the
fact that we college students must be a terrific factor in
the premature development, in the faculty, of gray and
hairless heads, and of furrowed brows and stooped gaits,
we students hereby resolve the following resolutions for
this year of 1939:

1. Never to cause any teacher or college official the
slightest bit of trouble or inconvenience, except at certain
times.

2. Never to utter a derogatory remark about any fac-
ulty member, within hearing distance of said faculty mem-
ber.

3. Never to stubbornly maintain an opinion of our own,
in the face of a teacher's contradiction, except when we
think we are right.

4. Never to complain of a teacher's method of grading
a test, except when we don't get the highest grade in the
class.

5. To do everything within our power, short of actual-
ly studying, to prepare ourselves properly for class reci-
tation.

6. Never to use our radios, percolators or hot plates
in the dormitory, except when the electricity is on.

7. Never to disobey any dormitory regulation, without
making certain first that the dormitory head is nowhere
around.

8. Every morning, to be the first one in the chapel, to
leave.

9. Never to criticize the dining hall meals, except
when we don't like them.

10. To think kindly and lovingly of every teacher, who
has given us A the past semester.

NOTE AGAIN: Having become increasingly conscious
of the fact that it is extremely difficult to maintain in the
face of temptation the rigid standards we have set up for
ourselves in these ten Resolutions, we hereby service notice
on the faculty that these resolutions are subject to change
without notice.

Wandering lonely as a cloud through our peaceful little
wastebasketdomain this week we have found conditions
too good to be true. Not one desolate little "ten best" list
(was there nothing new under the rain in '38?); not one
solitary resolution (has civilization at last progressed to
the point where people have learned the folly of making
rash promises?); not even so much as a single wewish-
greathingsforyouthisyear (have both of our loyal readers
turned aside from following after us?) Alackalas!

But we did manage to excavate a little fan mail which
liked these things about Wednesday's concert:

Further patient labor with a pick and shovel unearthed
these startling discoveries made in '38, (where were we
while history was being made and destiny was being

made the acquaintance of some of these noteworthy new
wrinkles you plan to sample them in '39. Have you ever
tried:

Imagining the weather without rain (don't overdo; take
in small doses until accustomed to the unfamiliar effects).

Going to bed before "lights out" (be sure to warn
room mate in advance that you are not ill).

None of us indulged in resolutions this year; perhaps
we think we're just too good to be improved upon. (The
writer of this column naturally excluded — we know we
are.) Perhaps a profound truth from the pen of Confuse Us
will not be amiss (verbally translated: will not be missed
if omitted).

he, like cream, floateth on top, is a fool. Scum doeth also
likewise."

Bjoerling Interview

south he had ever been. His admira-
tion of the people and the scenery was
obviously sincere, but it is to be sus-
pected that his first real southern cook-
ing may have contributed much to his
appreciation, for he is a discriminat-
ing lover of good food.

The mist gratifying thing he men-
tioned in his short talk with his inter-
viewer, however, was his pleasure in
singing before an audience composed
largely of college men and women. It
was not an ordinary experience for
him, and their youthful enthusiasm and
quiet attention impressed him greatly.
Still smiling graciously as he was
hustled off to be photographed. Mr.
Bjoerling left behind him the memory
of consummate artistry and a glorious
voice, and an even more delightful
personality.

GREEN GRUNTERS

Our wrestling squad, which made its debut last night,
at Raleigh, North Carolina, is one of the greenest squads
turned out in quite a while. Only two lettermen made the
trip, Hahn and Meares. Wood Everett, another letterman
from last season in the 135-pound class, gained twenty
pounds in the summer and took a jump up to the 155
pound division. Omar Judy, a veteran squad man, who al-
though has never lettered, has been plenty tough for any-
one to handle, is the other important 155 pound man right
now. Tuesday night in the wrestling room Everett and
Judy were to battle it out to see just who would wrestle
in that class against North Carolina State. Well, they
grunted and goaned for the scheduled match, and the re-
feree, who incidentally was last year's captain, Jim Ren-
fro, had to call the match a draw. So Wednesday after-
noon triey were at it again, and Judy got the decision, but
not by a fall. Judy and Wood are two fine boys, and they
are both plenty tough in that 155.

The fourth letterman who was to return from last
year, was Obie Jenkins. We are sorry to say that there
will be no more wrestling for Obie this season. Jenkins
fell ill with appendicitis last year during wrestling sea-
son, and while Christmas vacation was on, he became vio-
lently ill again with the same trouble. The doctor has or-
dered a complete rest. So, Obie, take care of yourself, and
we'll see you next year during football season, and rasslin'
season.

LARRY'S OUT—

If you see someone hopping around on crutches
somewhere, with a big, bright smile on his face, that's
Larry Lowe. If you think that we are glad to see him out,
you just ask him how glad he is to be out. Anyway, we
are really glad to see you out of the hospital and wander-
ing around on those crutches.

INTERCLASS
SPORTS

Sophs 20— Juniors 19

The, sophomore cls^ss quintet open-
ed the YMCA intramural basketball
season by turning back a fighting Jun-
ior team in the third overtime period,
20-19.

The juniors started off in the second
quarter and gained a lead that they
never lost until the third overtime per-
iod, when a field goal by Gastrock put
an end to the game according to the
"sudden death" rules.

Van Blarcom, sophomore captain and
star guard, led the sophs in their at-
tack on the large junior team. Jimmy
Rae and Arnold Kramer weyre out-
standing for the juniors.

The very closeness of the game in-
dicated that this year's inierclass bas-
ketball season will be the best in many
years. Bigger and better teams point to
a successful season.

Findlay Elected
Swimming Capt.

Coach Gillingham announced Tues-
day the tentative swimming schedule
for the year and held an election to
decide the captain of the swimming
team. Gordon Findlay, a sophomore
and a last year's letter man, was elect-
ed. Findlay is assistant to Coach Gil-
lingham.

On this year's swimming schedule
are some of the strongest teams of the
South. Among them are the University
of Tennessee, the University df Ken-
tucky ,Tusculum, East Kentucky Tea-
chers, and Chattanooga. Maryville will
journey to Johnson City to meet Tus-
culum in the first meet of the season
on Jan. 21st. Tusculum is the only other
school in the Smoky Mountain Con-
ference to boast a swimming 'team.
Therefore, Maryville will be going but
of her class to meet the University of
Tennessee in the first home • meet
scheduled for the 28th of Jafiuary.
Howler, id years past Maryville has
made a remarkable showing against
Kentucky and Tennessee. With the ex-
ception of Kentucky and Auburn,
Maryville swims against each team
twice.

A large squad of twenty men are out
for the swimming positions. The Scot-
tie Mermen lost six lettermen from
last year's team; four lettermen return-
ed. Among the outstanding swimmers
back this year are Findlay, an all
round man, starring in the dashes;
Crane, diving; Akana, specializing in
the breast stroke, Ritzman, also swim-
ming the breast stroke, and Felknor,
swimming distance. A large group of
freshmen show promise.

Time trials determining positions on
the team will be held Tuesday and

Scotty Quintet Faces
Knox "Y" This Eve

Tonight the Highland hoopsters will
tangle with the Knoxville Y on the
college hardwood. The Y always pre-
' sents a tough team for the Scotties to
beat. Last year they played here twice,
dropping one before the holidays and
winning the second.

The Scotties haven't lost any games
this season, but the last two games have
been too close for comfort. So be pre-
pared for a fast game tonight in the
Alumni gym.

As a part of the new schedule
of open swimming periods, Got- -
don Findlay announces that . a
swimming club has been inan*-:
gurated. This club consists of' a.
Junior and Senior division. The
Junior division includes short
swims and elementary instruc-
tions. The Senior division is com-
posed of a series of tests, in-
cluding advanced swimming, life
ring throwing, and other such
water activities. The new sched-
